In Japan, Project Eternal is creating a new mobile MMORPG that does not rely on autoplay and auto-battles. What is the game about?
What is Project Eternal? The new mobile MMORPG from Asobimo is fundamentally based on fairly classic gameplay. You create a hero who belongs to the Holy Trinity consisting of Tank, Damage Dealer and Healer. With this character, you explore a large, open game world.
- There, you can expect quests
- battles against monsters
- huge world bosses
- the exploration of dangerous dungeons
- mounts
- and plenty of challenges that you tackle together with friends and an NPC fairy companion.
A mobile MMORPG without autoplay
What is special about the game? Project Eternal does not rely on autoplay and auto-battles like other mobile MMORPGs. Often, in mobile games, the hero automatically moves to the quest’s destination and even the battles occur automatically. You just need to set the appropriate skills and give the character powerful equipment. A significant part of the MMORPG runs autonomously.
In Project Eternal, on the other hand, you actively fight yourself and also travel independently through the world to the destinations of the quests. This means that the MMORPG plays very classically and actively.
Why is this important? Mobile MMORPGs are on the rise, and MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch wondered if they could be the future of the genre. One criticism of mobile MMORPGs, especially from Western players, is this autoplay with auto-battles. Some players wish to walk around and attack enemies themselves, rather than just watch or see how the quest turned out.
Therefore, Project Eternal is a mobile game that addresses this criticism and tries to do it differently. It aims to be a mobile MMORPG that European players or players from the USA can enjoy as well.
Basically, one could say that Project Eternal is a classic online role-playing game that, although played on mobile, would function just as well on a PC.
When is the MMORPG supposed to be released? A beta test is planned in Japan this November. The release is slated for 2021. Project Eternal is planned to be released internationally, as is always the case with Asobimo’s games.
Are you interested in the MMORPG Project Eternal if it doesn’t have autoplay features? Or is there criticism of mobile games that is more significant for you?
