Since The Heroes Around Me released its prologue build, it has been flooded with overwhelming positive reviews while also witnessing an ever-growing community of fans. The Heroes Around Me was not only rated with an almost-perfect 9.9 by TapTap, a renowned Chinese game platform, but was also shortlisted for indiePlay’s Best Narrative and Best Mobile Game in 2021.
Upon debuting at Gamescom Asia 2021 at precisely 8:00PM (GMT+8) on October 15, it didn’t take long for The Heroes Around Me to draw in a large viewing crowd and be featured by a number of Chinese and foreign gaming media outlets. Set in a southern Chinese village in 1996, The Heroes Around Me unveils a story about a young man who made up his mind to confront his destiny till his last breath in the name of his loved one.
The game also reveals some touching storylines from the villagers, and via such interwoven features, a nostalgic and time-honored town is depicted, which not only whets the appetite of players, but also resonates with many of their backgrounds. Moreover, viewers can fully sense the R&D Team’s dedication to artistic design.
The team at OKJOY has done their best to push the pixel art style to its limits, creating various gorgeous scenes in the game. Case in point, a random screenshot of a sunset scene presents a visual impact similar to that of an oil painting. The music also delivers an impressive atmosphere and joyful experience, as every piece of music in the game is a live recording, allowing players to blend in seamlessly with the game via the audiovisual compatibility.
At the request of its burgeoning fan community, the date for the game’s full release will be revealed on OKJOY’s official accounts, currently scheduled around the Spring Festival of 2022. The Heroes Around Me will be available on Steam for the PC, just like Moolii’s Dreamland.
The aerial combat game, Moolii’s Dreamland, the other masterpiece by OKJOY, have also been very well received by the gaming community after its recent Steam launch. The game presents to players a whimsical fantasy world featuring both cuteness and splendor, creating a nostalgically innocent and exciting gameplay. The usually docile and friendly animals are transformed into dangerous monsters in the game, hindering Moolii’s way forward.
The game allows players to switch skills and summon partners as covers, all of which require a relatively high control dexterity. The art in Moolii’s Dreamland is also meticulously hand-drawn, hence this explains why the game is well-placed to attract players of different ages.
Stay updated with OKJOY and their games, including various titles which are yet to be announced for both PC and mobile platforms!
