It can be admitted: there are situations where other players in MMORPGs are simply annoying. Therefore, Tanzia does not even offer the option to play with others.
So, what kind of game is Tanzia? Actually, it is a single-player role-playing game, but one that incorporates many MMO features. If Tanzia had an online mode and multiplayer, it would be a classic MMORPG.
Essentially, single-player role-playing games and MMOs differ in many areas. For example, in fights. In an MMO, you lure enemies to specific spots to tactically defeat them. In a single-player RPG, you more often deal with enemies on the spot, as many confrontations simply arise from the situation.
A single-player RPG with MMO gameplay
While Tanzia offers a single-player experience, as you explore a world on your own, do not encounter other players, and feel like the only true hero of the world through the quests, it still plays like an MMORPG.
It features a classic MMO-like hotbar combat with many skills; you must discover the weaknesses of enemies and exploit them, collect many resources to craft your own items, and you are constantly on the lookout for better gear. Additionally, there are battles against hordes of enemies.
Not Skyrim but also not WoW
Those who usually play MMORPGs alone will surely feel right at home in Tanzia. However, those who value experiencing adventures with other players, engaging in group content, repeating quests, and competing in PvP with fellow players are likely in the wrong place with Tanzia. Players who expect something like Skyrim or The Witcher 3, a very story-driven game that emphasizes an engaging narrative structure and less grinding, are also mistaken.
Tanzia is set to be released later this year, but an exact release date is currently not known. It features colorful comic graphics.

An MMORPG without the MMO. The question is whether MMO mechanics really make sense in a single-player RPG. Do I really want to grind constantly when I can’t measure my level against anyone else? Do I really need hotbar combat when a more action-oriented approach could function without lag and make confrontations much more intense? Sure, the game could work well, but it could also completely miss the mark with the idea.
