The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War

Devil Book: Hand-Drawn Action MMO is a stylized mobile MMO released in 2021 by NGEL GAMES. Its distinct art style and persistent online features classify it as an MMO. While it attracted a modest following at launch, its niche status and publisher profile suggest a steep dropoff after the initial years. Given its age and the lack of a major developer or ongoing media presence, it likely maintains a small but dedicated daily player base, typical for less-prominent mobile MMOs.

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.
