ANANTA, previously called Project Mugen, recently showed off its first gameplay trailer, and most people immediately compared it to a mix of GTA V and Spider-Man, but with a distinct anime style. Now, a new 10-minute gameplay video is out, and while the combat is very similar to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, there’s another thing many viewers have pointed out.
ANANTA: The Slow-Motion Copycat
Okay, let’s be real – this car chase was painfully slow. Seriously, I think they were going like 20 mph! You really start to notice it around the 2:50 mark in the video. It speeds up a little now and then, but most of the time it felt like the driver wasn’t even *trying* to lose the people chasing them. Or, like Lykaia pointed out, she’s just a super careful driver who actually follows the rules of the road. It’s amusing, but honestly, it kind of ruins the excitement.
Let’s talk about a concerning issue: the main character’s abilities look remarkably similar to those in other media. While taking inspiration is normal, the fight scenes feel directly copied from the recent *Spider-Man* game, raising serious concerns about potential legal issues with Marvel.
Okay, so the past trailers were already packed with Spider-Man swinging and fighting, but this new one? It’s insane! Look, I get that a lot of games inspire each other, especially the really good ones that set the standard. But when they just straight-up *copy* moves without adding anything new… it feels really uninspired, honestly. It just comes across as lazy.
The protagonist even makes the same corny Spider-Man-style jokes! It honestly feels like the developers simply took ideas from other big games, didn’t contribute anything original, and released it as is.
The release date for ANANTA is still unknown, but it might arrive earlier than anticipated. It will be available on PC, various consoles, and mobile devices. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, the game will be free-to-play, meaning you’ll always need to be connected to the internet to play. It’s also highly likely the game will include ways to spend money, possibly to unlock content or speed up progress.
