The Castle Doctrine is an indie strategy/puzzle game released in 2014 by Jason Rohrer. It had a niche appeal and limited multiplayer features, with activity declining sharply over years. Due to game age, indie scope, and lack of recent major updates or promotion, the active player base is now extremely low—likely fewer than a dozen daily players.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has currently around 70k players daily.
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.
