Call of Dragons

VS

Tower of Fantasy

Call of Dragons is a 2023-released cross-platform (mobile and PC) real-time strategy MMO by Farlight Games, the studio known for other successful live-service titles. The game is still fairly new and is well-promoted, benefitting from the popularity of the fantasy RTS genre on mobile platforms, which typically sustain large active playerbases in the first years. Its persistent world and strategy MMO design (similar to Rise of Kingdoms) support high daily engagement. However, competition and genre norms (mobile RTS/MMO) suggest a gradual decline after the first year, so a conservative estimate is around 300,000 daily active players currently.

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world RPG released in late 2021 and published by Level Infinite (a Tencent brand), with significant investments in global marketing. Initially popular as a "Genshin Impact competitor," its player base peaked in its first year, but has since declined. It remains moderately active thanks to regular updates and events, especially in Asian markets. Given its age (over 2 years) and the usual drop-off for live-service MMOs, a conservative estimate is in the 50,000–100,000 DAP range globally.
