Polaris Quest, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, has revealed Light of Motiram, an open-world survival crafting game reminiscent of Sony's Horizon series. The game will be available for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, though no exact release date has been announced yet.
In Light of Motiram, players find themselves in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by massive mechanical beasts known as "Mechanimals." Starting from a primitive era, you will explore diverse biomes, struggle to survive harsh conditions, and utilize advanced technology to build a new civilization. With powerful Mechanimals as allies, you’ll battle formidable bosses, uncover ancient secrets, and shape the future.
An interesting aspect of this title is the ability to construct fortresses and shelters using a physics-based building system. Each structure must withstand natural threats, blending creativity with practicality in the base-building process—hopefully offering mechanics distinct from ICARUS. The combat system relies on skill, emphasizing precise timing and strategy, with dodging, blocking, and parrying attacks being crucial for gaining a tactical edge.
You can tame and customize over a hundred Mechanimals, each possessing unique abilities and development paths. These mechanical beasts assist in combat, enhance production, and evolve into powerful allies tailored to your needs—reminiscent of Palworld. Additionally, you can team up with up to 10 players to tackle challenges, hunt Mechanimals, and build bases together.
