The game is a territory-based RPG, with the whole of Middle-Earth divided into segments, each marking a territory. Of course, this is a monumental task, and it’ll take you a long time to get anywhere near your goal. The goal of the game is actually the opposite of existing LotR lore: you’re heading to Mordor to steal the One Ring, rather than going there to destroy it. You choose which race you want to play as, then from there, you'll start building your own army. It exists slightly outside of the existing canon, with you playing as the commander of your own army from a range of factions including orcs, men, and elves. Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson’s films. The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is the latest mobile game set in the rich world of J.R.R.
