Light of Mortilam, which has drawn some criticism for its clear and ample “inspiration” from the Horizon series, is coming to PS5 and mobile platforms. Additionally, a 16-minute gameplay trailer has been released! You can watch it yourself and see how far it compares. Shockingly, how much does it look like Horizon and Palworld?
News about the game's new platform was announced via the game's official social media Weibo account, making the game the latest push by the Chinese video game industry into the console market. This is certainly good news for future PS5 and mobile owners looking for new games in emerging markets. However, with no release date set yet, how long we'll have to wait to actually play the game remains a mystery.
As for the gameplay trailer, it's a rough preview of what players will eventually be able to do in Light of Mortiram. We see the player character fighting and commanding a variety of mechanical beasts in a vast open world, engaging enemies with their trusty bows in a manner very similar to Horizon. However, Palworld seems to be another major source of inspiration here, as players are able to build and maintain bases with the help of mechanic workers. It's worth noting that the satirical workplace abuse that existed in Palworld seems to be absent here. After all, if robots couldn't feel sadness, it would be hard for them to complain about hard labor and short breaks.

The game looks pretty good! Obviously, you'll have to weigh it yourself whether you're comfortable with a game absorbing aesthetics and gameplay systems from other games, but if you don't mind that sort of thing, it seems like an attractive fusion of currently popular games. Whether the game can overcome the reputation it's gained among some players since its release remains to be seen, but maybe that won't be an issue at all! After all, the same criticisms were leveled at Palworld, which turned out to be a very popular game. We'll have to sit back and watch how widespread this development style is in today's video game industry.
