LOTR Game Celebrated With Hilarious Low-Cost Gandalf Cosplay

screenrant.com:

The LOTR game The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War was celebrated with a hilarious low-cost Gandalf cosplay. Fans have recently returned to Middle-Earth in a free-to-play mobile game deemed a geo-strategic seasonal wargame with roleplaying elements. With a focus on developing armies, expanding territory, and constructing buildings and defenses, the NetEase Games-developed The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is similar to other mobile games on the market. This one, however, offers Tolkein’s world of Middle-Earth as its playground, giving players the opportunity to control the One Ring as a wide variety of factions based on the fantasy novels.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has had decent reception despite it being a free-to-play mobile game with all of the connotations attached. Some have claimed the game is surprisingly deep and well-presented for a mobile strategy game, staying faithful to the source material while simultaneously giving players unique avenues to explore and experience Middle-Earth. The depth of strategy may ensure the game’s longevity, even as it competes against other Lord of the Rings games. A recent announcement from EA revealed that The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth will be a turn-based mobile RPG with multiple playable characters, which has sparked frustration from fans. Many expect EA’s game to be filled with microtransactions, presenting similarly to other titles like Raid: Shadow Legends where players spend loads of money to purchase additional characters. Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has strayed from overwhelming fans with pay-to-win mechanics, solidifying it as a decent representation of the IP.
