Polaris Quest, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, has revealed Light of Motiram, a survival crafting game set in a post-apocalyptic world where massive mechanical animals and beasts roam. With the premise that "Earth and human civilization as we once knew it is gone"…
The announcement has drawn criticism on social media, with many highlighting its striking resemblance to the Horizon series.
A game many fans are calling a "Horizon clone", is now confirmed for release on PS5, iOS, and Steam.
Alongside this announcement, 16 minutes of gameplay footage have been shared, showcasing the game's mechanics and features.
Described as a survival adventure where players face primal civilizations, harsh weather, and mechanical creatures known as Mechanimals, Light of Motiram encourages players to utilize resources strategically to endure.
The game introduces unique elements, such as co-op multiplayer and the ability to craft shelters, which set it apart from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Gamers can also tame and train Mechanimals, a feature some liken to the gameplay found in Palworld, itself a subject of controversy for drawing parallels to Pokemon.
Despite these differences, the game has faced criticism on social media, with many alleging that it borrows heavily from Guerrilla Games' Horizon franchise.
Fans remain divided on whether Light of Motiram offers a fresh take or simply leans too closely on familiar inspirations.
What do you think about this? In any case, we can only wait for the official release. And some fans are eagerly awaiting the release date of Light of Motiram to compare it with the Horizon series.
P.S. "Light of Motiram" is currently not available for pre-order and can only be wishlisted on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will also be available on the PlayStation Store, the Apple App Store, and the Google Play Store in the future.
Once released, the game will be free to play across all platforms...
