Games that are very similar to Genshin Impact

One of the most iconic recent products in the gaming industry has become the game Genshin Impact. To date, it has already been discussed by many experts, as well as users who are not indifferent to this game. The project from China in an instant turned into the most successful creation created in recent times. This was achieved due to several things.

One of the secrets of success is bright high quality animation. In addition, the creators managed to come up with a pretty solid plot. Another feature that made the game popular is the collectible feature. It is she who causes addiction in any user who has played this game at least once. But in this material we will not talk about the reasons for the popularity of this toy. The following is a list of games that are more or less similar to Genshin Impact.

Honkai Impact 3rd

 

The game was released in 2019. It was developed by miHoYo Limited. The system requirements for this game project are as follows: Windows 7+ 2.2 GHz CPU, 4 Gb RAM, 1 Gb VRAM. Platforms: PC, mobile platforms

The previous project, which the creators of Genshin Impact had a hand in, offers us a hack-and-slash in the spirit of Bayonetta. But in the Chinese way. According to the plot of this game, humanity is experiencing severe suffering from the invasion of the Khanka creatures. To fight them, the Valkyries were eventually created.

It consists of three creatures at once, each of which has its own set of abilities. This makes each Squad member the most effective against certain opponents. But at the same time for certain enemies more vulnerable. Therefore, during the gameplay, you have to constantly switch between characters. This game has a pretty decent storyline.

The graphics are very nice, and the world is open. To adequately explore this game, a good knowledge of English or Chinese is required. The need for this is due to the fact that the game does not have Russian localization. A notable point is that many of the solutions that appeared in Honkai Impact 3rd subsequently migrated to the next project created by the miHoYo studio. Therefore, if you are looking for a game that will be more similar to Genshin Impact than others, then you should choose it. But the creators decided not to limit themselves to this product only. Soon they plan to introduce a crossover.

Dragon Quest Series

This game was released between 1986 and 2019. Its developers are Square Enix. System Requirements: These vary and differ from game to game. Platforms: cross-platform

After Final Fantasy, it is the second most popular franchise created by Square Enix. She is a continuation of our list. Dragon Quest is a classic JRPG. This means that gamers who decide to play it will have a lot of events, bright animation, and a variety of hits. Plus a lot of special effects. Also in the game there are monsters of gigantic size and squads consisting of cool heroes who are quite capable of defeating an opponent.

Naturally, they are under the constant control of the gamer. The world of this game is amazing. It has gigantic dimensions. If the gamer starts the usual movement through the story company, he will not see even a tenth of what the developers offer for users in the game itself. Opponents who have superpowers in this toy act as secret bosses. In order to meet them, you need to know how to open them. But that’s the beauty of this genre. Perhaps when this material is published, there will already be an official release of Dragon Quest XII.

The developer has already announced the announcement of this product. In the meantime, fans have to be content with only part XI. This game should be played only with a gamepad, because if the user uses the keyboard to explore the world of this toy, then this process will be slightly uncomfortable for him.

hardland

Toy release date: 2019. It was developed by Mountain Sheep. Its system requirements are as follows: Windows 8+, 2.2 GHz CPU, 6 Gb RAM, GTX 650 2GB / AMD HD 7770 2GB. Platforms: cross-platform.

This game, to put it simply, can be called a fantasy adventure, during which the gamer is waiting for procedurally generated quests, as well as a variety of locations, a large number of monsters. This provides this gaming product with a high degree of replay value. A feature of Hardland and the difference between this product and other games that are present in this collection is permanent death.

If the gamer’s character found death during the passage of the toy, then there is nothing left but to start all over again. Therefore, if the user has already played Genshin Impact and the game seemed too simple, then you should try your hand at a more difficult challenge – the Hardland game. But you need to be prepared for the fact that when the player faces another difficult opponent, you should think about whether it is worth joining the fight, or is it better to give up the battle and just go and take a couple of levels, defeating simpler monsters.

If a gamer takes risks in this game, then he can count on a good reward. To get the best equipment, the player should choose the most dangerous opponents. Those users who seek to safely level up their character will have to be content with cast-offs. Unfortunately, they will have to walk in this game all my life. In this game project, you can find many elements of the environment for which complete destruction is permissible. This can be used when the gamer enters into a difficult battle.

Scarlet Nexus

The release date for this game is scheduled for 2021. Its developer is Bandai Namco. The system requirements for this toy are as follows: Windows 10+, 2.6 GHz CPU, 6 Gb RAM, GTX 760 / Radeon HD 7970. Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.

If we consider this toy from the position of the setting, then it looks quite interesting and is a mixture of science fiction and mystical paranormal. By starting the game, the gamer learns that humanity is under the threat of an invasion by Others. So called monsters that are devoid of reason. They came to our planet from the Extinction Belt. At the disposal of the gamer is a hero who is a representative of a group of people with superpowers. He was included among the members of the Others Suppression Squad. As a result, the user becomes part of the combat cell. She is fighting the others. There is no doubt that the fight against monsters will be bright.

In simple terms, the Scarlet Nexus game is what can happen if you mix Genshin Impact and Control together. The protagonist in this game destroys opponents using a sword. But not only. He does not hesitate to use paranormal abilities. For example, with the help of psychokinesis, he easily lifts one opponent into the air and immediately throws another opponent. All this is a very bright sight. Many will be impressed by such an action. It is for this that gamers have a soft spot for JRPG games. The pride of the developers of this gaming product is a seamless combat system. Thanks to it, you can insert spectacular cut-scenes of using superpowers directly into the gameplay. The result is a spectacular performance.

Sword Art Online

The release date for this game is 2018. The developer is the studio Bandai Namco. The system requirements for this toy are as follows: Windows 7+, 3.4 GHz CPU, 4 Gb RAM, GTX 660, DirectX 11. Platforms: cross-platform.

If you liked the game Genshin Impact mainly because of the plot, and reading the dialogues during the passage of this toy became your main entertainment, then you will certainly like a project similar to it. This is Sword Art Online. This toy is a sci-fi game based on a novel by Japanese writer Reki Kawahara. It was on the basis of the motives of his work that manga volumes appeared at different times, as well as several anime adaptations. There was also a video game divided into chapters. She made it to our list.

In general, Sword Art Online looks like an Action-RPG project in which events are shown from a third person. In the course of passing this toy, you can notice elements of other genres. Starting from a shooter and ending with a dating simulator. The main advantage of this product is a long plot, which is quite deep. It will be enough to enjoy the game for hundreds of hours. And there is no exaggeration here. If you decide to delve deeply into this series, then you should start with Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization or choose Fatal Bullet. But you need to keep in mind that playing it is the same as collecting manga volumes. If you end up getting hooked on this game, then you will have to spend money on purchasing all the chapters of Sword Art Online.

Blue Protocol

This game hasn’t been released yet. This product is a creation of Project Sky Blue and Bandai Namco. To play this game normally, your PC must meet the following system requirements: Windows 7, Core i5-750, 8 Gb RAM, Radeon R 380 / GTX 960. Platforms: PC.

This is a beautiful MMO adventure game that was created in anime style. To create it, the developer used the Unreal Engine 4 engine. So far, the official release has not taken place. According to the creators, the game is at the testing stage. It is also reported that it will offer five archetypal classes.

The plot is very exciting. It revolved around time travel. Around his passage and builds most of this game. However, PC games in the MMORPG genre, which have a deep storyline, no longer surprise anyone in our time. If you are a connoisseur of multiplayer activities, then in this toy the developers have prepared dungeons, bosses, and other challenges for you. Therefore, by starting the game, the user will not have time to get bored.

Those users who are interested in this game, of course, will begin to worry about the question: when will the official release take place? If you go to the official website of the creator, it says that the project should be expected in the second quarter of 210021. Perhaps this is either a typo, or time travel was involved in this figure. Fans of computer games can only hope that it was the first, and not the second, that happened.

Tales of Arise

This game is due out on September 10, 2021. Its developer is Bandai Namco. The system requirements for this toy are as follows: Windows 7, Core i5-750, 8 Gb RAM, Radeon R380 / GTX 960. Available platforms: PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.

This is another gaming product that is the brainchild of the Bandai Namco studio. The game belongs to projects from early access. Speaking in detail, it is a light mixture of JRPG and slasher. Why she is an easy mixture, explains the combat system. It assumes that the player will have to come up with powerful combo attacks during the gameplay that will be effective. To create them, you need to choose from various techniques and abilities. After that, you need to bind them to one button, with which the player will have to glue the enemy.

If we move on to the plot, then the events in this toy develop in a world where astral energy is present in every living being. Some get it in larger quantities, while others are content with only a small portion. This means that in this world there is social inequality, as well as the superiority of one race over another. In addition, there are other problems that the two heroes have to solve. At the same time, gamers will have to save the world around them, living in which gives little pleasure. But it is possible not to save, but to engage in its destruction. So far, there is no information about the “evil” passage of the plot of this game.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink

The release of this game has not yet taken place. The product developer is the Cygames studio. System Requirements: Exclusive to PlayStation. Platforms: PlayStation 4/5

The list continues with a game that is similar to Genshin Impact. It hasn’t been officially released yet. Therefore, it is worth presenting it. Moreover, this toy is special because it is an exclusive designed specifically for the PlayStation. Probably, the success of Genshin Impact has led many game developers to create something similar to this masterpiece. In it, the gamer becomes the head of a squad of adventurers. This team will travel between sky islands. And its main goal is to find treasures. Also, gamers will have to find quests. Their passage will also be well paid.

Some promotional materials about this game are already available online. Judging by them, this game product took a lot of ideas that were implemented in Genshin Impact. But to say that this game from beginning to end is a clone of the popular Chinese masterpiece is impossible. The universe of this game has its own history. And she’s quite rich. She was revealed in detail in the Granblue Fantasy quest, created for mobile devices. In addition, details of the game are revealed in the accompanying manga and anime adaptation. In general, the Japanese have a large number of fantasy stories in their bins, so it is possible that many will like the storyline of the game.

Project BBQ

This toy has not been released yet. It was developed by Neople studio. System requirements are not yet known. Platforms: cross-platform.

This is another game on our list that hasn’t been released yet, but is just under development. But it’s not surprising that many studios want to create a copy of Genshin Impact with their own differences. To date, there are very few worthy imitators who would repeat this game well. But the Neople studio decided not only to be inspired by this project from China, but also to draw ideas from inexpensive game projects. For example, Black Desert Online and The Devil May Cry V. The novelty will be a non-target combat. It will have cool boss battles. It is on them that the emphasis will be placed in the game.

So far, there is practically no information about this toy on the network. There is very little information, but I would like more data. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to say something definite about this product. Maybe the developer will please users with a full-fledged game created in the MMORPG genre. If so, then any gamer will have the opportunity to explore the world of Project BBQ with friends. Or maybe the game will have multiplayer, which will be somewhat similar to the one present in the game Path of Exile. Recall that there the players have the opportunity to see each other only in hub cities. And the world around is explored alone or in groups that are assembled in advance. Therefore, there is no possibility of bumping into random passers-by while walking. But what can not be taken away from this game is the graphics. It is made with high quality, looks stylish and has a juicy appearance cleanly, provided that that you have no rejection to the anime style. However, if this were true, then you would not be interested in this article.

Tower of Fantasy

This game has not yet been released. Its developer is Hotta Studios. There is no information about the system requirements of this game yet. Platforms: cross-platform.

Last game on the list. To get into the closed beta testing mode, you need to know the Chinese language perfectly. Of all the games listed above, this one is more like Genshin Impact. It can rightly be called Genshin Impact in a post-apocalyptic setting. At the beginning of the passage of the toy, the gamer will have to choose one or two characters. They can be both male and female. It is with them that you will have to go through the whole game.

The main difference between Tower of Fantasy and the masterpiece created by the miHoYo studio is that here the gamer has only one hero at his disposal. In addition to this, there is no lottery gacha in the hope that the user will get strong allies. But this is not a guarantee that other similar mechanics and damned loot boxes will not be in the game.

Can Tower of Fantasy be considered a Genshin Impact killer? It is too early to make predictions at the moment. You need to wait for the release of this game, and then see it in action. So far, the developer does not make any serious statements about his product at all. The studio is quite secretive and gives out very little information about the toy. However, Chinese players who have already been able to evaluate the game, talk about purely positive impressions of Tower of Fantasy.

What will be the top games from the future?

The current selection really turned out to be quite a lot of games that are still in early access. There are also several projects that have not been officially presented. However, this situation should not be surprising. When Genshin Impact officially appeared, it turned out that the product was very successful. The stars just aligned on this game. All the shortcomings that the competitors had were absent from this game.

The story was very good, the visuals were beautiful, and the gameplay was very addictive to gamers. If some other project had also successfully shot earlier, then this article would have to be written about a completely different game and products that are its imitators. However, the creation created by the miHoYo studio appeared only last year.

This is the main reason why now we have to talk about gaming products that will appear only in the near future. One can only hope that their official release will not cause disappointment among gamers and give the process as much pleasure as the game Genshin Impact.
