Fantasy War Tactics R

VS

Dune: Awakening

Fantasy War Tactics R is a mobile tactical RPG originally released by Nexon. As an older mobile title (launched in the mid-2010s), it likely peaked years ago but still maintains a niche community, supported by Nexon's infrastructure and the dedicated fanbase typical for gacha/tactics RPGs. Player numbers have declined with age, but it likely retains a small, persistent user base due to periodic events and updates.

As of late August 2025, Dune: Awakening had approximately 14,000 concurrent players, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of over 189,000 concurrent players shortly after launch in June 2025. This decrease is attributed to factors such as player burnout, game design issues, and technical problems. Despite these challenges, the developers remain optimistic, citing strong player retention and a 10-year development roadmap that includes plans to explore new planets and regions within the Dune universe.
