The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a lazy branded cash-grab. In the end, the $109.99 in-app purchases listed on the Play Store explain all. Clearly, NetEase doesn't want anyone to know what the game offers until a large amount of time has been wasted invested. It's an extremely lackluster kingdom builder that's filled with multiple currencies, loot boxes, a stamina system, a painful forced tutorial, and you're locked out of the game's settings and store until you complete the first chapter.


You can watch the latest trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War above, but it does its best to avoid showing any gameplay, and for a good reason, this game stinks.
