The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage

VS

Tower of Fantasy

The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage is a popular Japanese rhythm/gacha mobile game from Bandai Namco and Cygames, originally released in 2015. While past its peak, it remains active thanks to strong franchise loyalty, frequent updates, and ongoing events. However, age and competition from newer idol games have led to a moderate but steady daily player base, focused mainly in Japan.

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.
