As the highly anticipated Arknights: Endfield, a brand-new open-world RPG, unveils more of its development, it's shaping up to be a game that could resonate with fans of Genshin Impact.
Following the success of Genshin Impact, several games resembling it have emerged, facing criticism for being mere "Genshin copies." However, Arknights: Endfield stands out, promising to forge its own identity as a captivating RPG. While Genshin Impact enthusiasts will find familiar elements to enjoy, the game's unique features aim to establish it as a standalone RPG marvel.
Previewing on the Arknights: Endfield YouTube channel, the game exudes a gaming vibe with its open-world RPG style. The trailers tantalize with intricate lore delving into the history and current state of Talos-II, the planet where the game unfolds. Players will embark on their journey, choosing between a male or female protagonist known as the Endministrator.
Comparing Arknights: Endfield with Genshin Impact, the game trailers showcase gameplay involving various tasks across the deserted planet, urging players to "make their choice." Addressing feedback from the Genshin Impact community, who noted limited in-game choices compared to other HoYoverse titles, Arknights: Endfield emerges with the promise of significant decision-making opportunities, offering fans an exciting prospect.
Distinguishing itself further, Arknights: Endfield features inactive party members visible on-screen during exploration. As players navigate the terrain with their preferred character, the party members run and fight alongside them, each exhibiting a unique "burst" animation akin to Genshin Impact bursts. Speculation arises about the possibility of all characters possessing these abilities, a departure from the exclusive nature seen in Genshin Impact's five-star characters.
Arknights: Endfield stands as a fusion of action-adventure and sci-fi within the RPG genre, boasting stunning in-game animation and graphics. The trailers hint at a noteworthy musical score, adding to the game's allure. Beyond being another Genshin Impact-like game, Arknights: Endfield crafts its own immersive world with hidden lore and captivating music, introducing intriguing characters like the Endministrator, Perlica, Wulfgard, and Xaihi.
For eager players, technical testing sign-ups are open until December 24, with testing scheduled to commence in January on PC. While the initial testing phase is exclusive to PC, the game has assured availability on PC, Mobile, and PlayStation in the future. The anticipation for Arknights: Endfield continues to build, promising an engaging gaming experience across multiple platforms.
