Luminariah is a semi-idle fantasy MMORPG you can play in short bursts or long sessions. Your character keeps fighting even after you close the app, so progress never stops. SEMI-IDLE, SERVER-SIDE COMBAT The moment you attack, the fight is live on the server. Lock your phone, switch characters, or close the app entirely and the battle keeps going. When you return, you collect what you earned while away, up to a 24-hour window. Your potions are the budget: every kill costs one, so progress is paced, not infinite. FOUR CLASSES Play a Warrior, Mage, Rogue, or Paladin. Each has nine skills plus a signature multiplier skill, its own playstyle, and its own gear path across four equipment tiers, from Common to Nightmare. GUILDS, RAIDS & CASTLE SIEGE Join a guild, fill the vault, and take on ten tiers of guild raids. Descend into Hades for eight-player dungeons and sixteen-player raids at level 50 and up. Fight for the crown in Castle Siege, a 72-hour guild-versus-guild war across six towers. TEN PROFESSIONS Fish, mine, smelt, gather herbs, cook, brew alchemy, craft keys, work as an Artificer, cut jewelry, and practice Occultation with grimoires and seals. Gather, craft, and supply your own gear and consumables. A REAL PLAYER ECONOMY Trade with other players on the Grand Bazaar with fixed-price listings and live auctions. Eight in-game currencies, deep crafting, and refinement, remorph, and reroll systems give every item a long upgrade path. PETS & PROGRESSION Manifest a spirit pet that grants passive stats and farms Soul Essence. Chase 40+ achievement categories and titles, rotating daily, weekly, and monthly challenges, quest scrolls, and selectable daily buffs. PVP Climb the ranked ladder with an ELO rating and spend PvP energy to prove your build against real opponents. CROSS-PLATFORM One account, one world. Luminariah runs on iPhone, iPad, and in the browser, and your character travels with you. A NOTE ON PURCHASES Luminariah is free to play. Diamonds and optional subscriptions are available as in-app purchases and can speed up progression, but the full game is playable without spending. Some purchases and in-game systems involve randomized rewards; the odds for every random mechanic are disclosed in-game before you commit and at luminariah.com/odds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Luminariah at none against Rocket Invaders's shown. Rocket Invaders's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
