since chinese games started to come over to the west I have found myself really wanting to know what chinese developers have been doing over there regards single player experiences that we just haven't been able to see due to the great firewall
unfortunately very few are available over here and those that are don't have english translations, one such game being gujian (sword of legends) is on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/570780/GuJian/ but no english and the english translation mod has vanished into the ether after some people on that project got worried about the consequences of being involved with it (chinese laws i guess?)
mihoyo have shown with genshin that they can take inspirations and create regions based on non-chinese cultures and countries and not fuck it up, yu pengchen the main composer up until a year ago did an amazing job and is currently up there in my list of top contemporary classical composers
also, outside of gacha there have been other games coming out that I didn't realise were chinese until I looked into it

mechabreak I thought was japanese, the mechs look extremely gundam (to the point where I was wondering to myself if they had perhaps hired one or two of the designers from the more recent anime) and the beta testing they did a month or so ago had full japanese voice acting. (from what I played mechabreak is the gundam game bandai should have made already but they are too busy shoving their collective heads up their arses)
there are chinese people out there making some great games, its just a shame about the chinese state
The Chinese are definitely not afraid of using Japanese voices in the stuff they make. I played Langrisser Mobile for quite a while. Japanese voices were basically the only option, but get this, not only was China months ahead of "Global" version, "Global" was months ahead of "Japan" version.
yeah... I want to know how big Japanese anime is in China because it must have some influence if the Chinese gacha games are using Japanese voice actors as much as they are
Pretty sure there is an actual licensed Gundam FTP game. I have no idea how good it is, though.

its a PS3 game (battle operation 1) ported to the PS4 (operation 2) playable on ps5 via backwards compatibility ported to PC
there is as far as i can tell no crossplay between pc and ps4/5 so there is a very small community
additionally the game uses a gacha mechanic to get new suits AND THERE IS NO PITY *
* many gacha games have a "pity" mechanic that means players are guaranteed to get the "banner" character after so many pulls
this apparently first came about after a fate grand order (i think?) player spent thousands of dollars and did not get the banner character and people got mad then apparently gacha games started to have pity mechanics
this gundam game has no pity so you can have really bad luck and never get the suit you want ever
I was thinking of one, I had to go look it up, but it was called "Gundam Evolution." Evidently it shut down, however.

oh yeah that one was actually pretty good
shame bandai fucked the launch, the updates, the monetization and then shut it down
