The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

"Combat Magic: Spells and Swords" is a multiplayer fantasy action game developed by Kisunja, recognizable mostly on mobile platforms. While not an MMO (matches are session-based, not persistent worlds), it has maintained modest popularity due to its unique mix of melee, magic, and shooting, especially in certain mobile markets. Based on genre, studio size, recent social activity, and mobile market norms, current daily active players are estimated around 10,000.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
