Horizon ‘Clone’ Light of Motiram Shown in New Gameplay Trailer

Polaris Quest, a Chinese development studio owned by Tencent, has published a new gameplay trailer for Light of Motiram, the game that looks a bit too much like Guerrilla’s Horizon franchise. Truth be told, there are some gameplay differences. Whereas the Horizon games are action/adventure titles with some light RPG elements thrown in for good measure, Light of Motiram is mostly a survival game where players must establish a base and defend it. The building system will be based on a realistic physics engine.

Additionally, there will be a lot of emphasis on taming the over a hundred types of ‘Mechanimals’. Each comes with unique skills and growth potential. Players can assign Mechanimals different combat modes and production traits. Combat itself also seems more centered on melee with dodging, blocking, and counterattacking moves. Moreover, Light of Motiram includes seamless cooperative multiplayer throughout the whole game, something that Horizon games have lacked so far – although Guerrilla Games is now working on Horizon Online, a co-op game that is the Dutch studio’s next big thing. Sure, it’s hard to shake the visual similarities, which are definitely more than just inspirations.

Anyway, it won’t be long before Light of Motiram becomes available for everyone to check out. Polaris Quest plans to launch it in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play game. You can find the system requirements below.
