The Hidden Ones from Tencent is Gaining Strong Attention
The Hidden Ones (also known as Under the Alien) is a new 3D action game from Tencent that is rapidly becoming a sensation in the Chinese gaming community, having already attracted nearly 15 million registrations in a short period. Announced at the WeGame Night event, the game quickly gained traction on various platforms, news channels, and video content platforms, leading many to draw comparisons with the previously created Delta Operation.
The Hidden Ones is developed by Tencent Rubik’s Cube Studio, the team behind the successful Naruto Mobile. The game is expected to tap into the potential of the action game genre with an anime style, while still being quite fresh in the current market.
Based on the popular anime IP Hitori No Shita: The Outcast, the game has already garnered a significant following. It is not surprising why The Hidden Ones has been able to capture the community’s attention, turning into a buzzword even while still in the testing phase.
Why is The Hidden Ones Gaining Strong Attention?
Not only is the visual aspect impressive, The Hidden Ones also creates a strong impact thanks to its high-quality production. The game utilizes cutting-edge cel-shading technology to recreate a vibrant anime world while maintaining a high level of realism. The effects of light, shadow, and detailed textures like sand on walls and water on the ground are all vividly presented. The main character moves fluidly, with natural expressions, creating a cinematic feel akin to watching a high-quality film.
In terms of narrative, the game tightly integrates the gripping storyline with expansive cinematic scenes, quest chains, mysteries, and battles in a side-scrolling format. Players do not just observe; they interact directly with the environment, enhancing the immersive experience. Notably, the game also includes numerous “easter eggs” specifically for fans of the original anime.
Regarding gameplay, The Hidden Ones features a PVP combat system that allows for face-offs with other players, with only four basic action buttons: attack, defend, evade, and step. However, the game maintains a strategic depth through the “rock-paper-scissors” system, enhancing outdoor abilities and managing troops, creating intense battle scenarios. The synergy between gameplay elements – challenging yet rewarding – is a key factor in making the game “addictive” and highly engaging.
Although the official release date has not been confirmed, with the game’s current achievements, it can be seen that the potential of this title is substantial. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this anticipated title in the upcoming articles.
