After months of anticipation, Hotta Studio, a subsidiary of Perfect World Games, and global publisher Level Infinite has decided to release their china exclusive RPG to the global market. “Tower of Fantasy” is an online RPG that features a vast open-world to explore, a mysterious world-ending plot to uncover, several unique characters to meet and unlock, along with several multiplayer activities, all packaged with a light sci-fi theme.
As many users have noticed, the style of Tower of Fantasy's gameplay is very similar to Nintendo's Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in terms of core gameplay and exploration. Even more specifically, many have also closely compared Tower of Fantasy to Hoyoverse's incredibly popular online RPG, Genshin Impact, as the visual design, theming, and use of mobile game gacha mechanics are very similar.
Despite the similarities, many players in China have had very mixed opinions on the game, stating that the game mechanics felt unpolished, the multiplayer features felt unfinished, and the overall state of the game had a very lifeless feel to it, thus Tower of Fantasy did not garner much attention. Despite the flaws, Hotta Studio has been very hard at work with improving the game, as evidently made by the recent version 2.0 release that attempts to address any concerns that players have with the game.
