Battleship Apollo

VS

The Lord of the Rings Online

Battleship Apollo is an indie strategy and board game-inspired title released in 2021 by Parallel Space Inc. While it may have had an initial burst of interest, as an indie strategy game from a lesser-known studio with moderate social presence and no major ongoing publicity, its current daily active players are likely quite modest—likely in the hundreds. The 'board game' and 'strategy' tags also suggest a more niche appeal rather than mass audience retention.

The Lord of the Rings Online is a classic MMORPG released in 2007. Despite its age, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to the enduring popularity of the Lord of the Rings IP and regular updates from Standing Stone Games. However, its age and niche status mean the daily active player base has declined considerably from its peak, currently estimated around 20,000 daily active players.
