Tower of Fantasy

Embrace the Three Kingdoms / 胸怀三国 RPG, released in 2019, is a niche strategy RPG published by VALOFE, known for running several service-oriented online games that typically retain small but stable player bases several years after launch. As a non-AAA title without major Western presence and with a theme appealing mainly to strategy fans in Asia, its daily active player count is likely modest, estimated at around 2,000. It does not meet traditional MMO criteria, as it is strategy RPG rather than a persistent-world massively multiplayer title.

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.
