The Korean development studio Hound 13 is currently working on a mobile MMORPG that looks like a mobile version of TERA.
The development team consists of 45 people who have previous experience in MMORPG development. Some of them worked on games like Dragon Nest, Dungeon Strikers, and Rusty Hearts. They want to channel this experience into the new mobile MMO Project 100.
Action Battles and Colorful Graphics
Project 100 is being developed with the Unity engine, and based on a trailer, it looks very impressive. In fact, it almost seems like a mobile version of the MMORPG TERA. This is due to the colorful visuals and detailed graphics, but also because the combat feels very action-packed. Especially the fights against massive boss enemies are intense. They are taken down with a finish move. With many combo attacks, you will defeat your opponents in the game.
A Mobile MMO That Doesn’t Look Like One
Of course, teamwork is an important aspect since this is an MMORPG. Being in a party gives you a significantly better chance against the many monsters. With Project 100, the developers aim to showcase the graphical capabilities of modern mobile games. The MMO could just as well be released on PC, as it offers very good graphics and interesting gameplay that can stand shoulder to shoulder with other genre representatives.
As seen in the trailer, the MMO makes a very good visual impression. This raises hopes that more mobile games will be released in the future that won’t have to hide behind console games in terms of graphics. Project 100 is set to be released next year in South Korea. There is currently no information about a release in the West. Platforms planned so far are iOS and Android.
By the way: The makers of TERA recently released a mobile RPG called “Hit” using Unreal Engine 4.
