Guardians of Cloudia VS Tower of Fantasy

Guardians of Cloudia is a fantasy mobile MMORPG released in 2021 by NEOCRAFT, a studio known for mobile titles. The game had a strong initial player base due to its vibrant graphics and familiar genre tropes. However, most mobile MMORPGs see player numbers drop within 2 years unless they have continuous aggressive updates or viral popularity. Given its age (over 3 years) and its publisher's reach, I estimate approximately 10,000–20,000 daily active players, settling at 15,000 for its current lifecycle stage.

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world action MMORPG released in late 2021 by Hotta Studio and Perfect World/Level Infinite. The game had major global hype at launch and is still relatively recent, but has settled into a smaller, but stable, core audience. As a gacha-driven MMO, it maintains a healthy user base due to ongoing updates, events, and cross-promotion though it is well past its initial peak. Based on the game's genre, developer support, and its recent activity on social channels, a conservative estimate would be 60,000–80,000 daily active players globally in 2024.
