Every mechanic from the top 10 or 20 or 50 most popular games in the world, combined, is surely better than any of those games individually, right?<\/p>\n<p>This maximalist approach to big budget game design has never really been great in practice, and a few minutes into Ananta reveal it is indeed doing things that you have done many times in a game before and probably are not foaming at the mouth to do again:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Punching guys with timing-based combos and counters reminiscent of the Batman Arkham games or Sleeping Dogs<\/li>\n<li>Scripted quick-time events that feel right out of an Uncharted or other 2010s action game<\/li>\n<li>On-rails car chases that give you unlimited ammo to shoot out the tires of your pursuers<\/li>\n<li>Web-swinging around a giant city as Spide\u2014er, the anime version of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/prototype-2-review\/\">that guy from Prototype<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XkN1jy9FGVg\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But then there&#8217;s the weird stuff\u2014like hopping into the boots of Lykaia, a purple-haired getaway driver slash cop who has a totally different set of play mechanics to the intro protagonist, whose arms get all weird and stretchy to let him swing around.<\/p>\n<p>In its free roam mode, Ananta let me pull up a phone interface to swap between characters, triggering a straight-outta-GTA-5 camera swoop up into the sky and back down into the part of the city where they&#8217;re currently hanging out. I only played as Lykaia for a couple minutes before my demo was up, but as a police officer she can scan NPCs against a database, frisk them for weapons, issue citations, and handcuff them, triggering reactions and dialogue you wouldn&#8217;t otherwise see.<\/p>\n<p>Will this be fun? Will it produce any actually interesting systemic interactions or is a paper thin mechanic that you&#8217;ll do three times and never see fit to use again? I have no idea, but it sure does seem like a hell of a lot of work if it&#8217;s the latter.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You know the saying about Chekhov&#8217;s coffin: it better have a vampire in it who&#8217;s violently ill and leans over the side of the truck bed to puke a stream of rainbow sick into the night air.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>I spent most of the game as Taffy, a bunny girl whose eagerness to make money sees her blindly accepting an odd job from a rando who texts her to meet at a sketchy warehouse. Turns out the warehouse is full of gang members who try to bludgeon her to death with baseball bats. Good thing she has telekinetic powers! I punched out most of the guys before I realized I could psychically rip a bat out of someone&#8217;s hands and <em>thonk<\/em> it into his skull.<\/p>\n<p>Then a delivery driver crashed his truck into the warehouse and told me I needed to get the cargo across town ASAP. Soon-to-be Gen Z icon Taffy cheerily says &#8220;Gotta get that bag&#8221; as she takes on the job.<\/p>\n<p>It took me a few seconds into the drive to notice that the cargo in the back of the truck was, in fact, a coffin, and you know the saying about Chekhov&#8217;s coffin: it better have a vampire in it who&#8217;s violently ill and leans over the side of the truck bed to puke a stream of rainbow sick into the night air.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"eQKZ9n3ECKaCsLSaxK97uS\" name=\"5-Key Feature - Embargo Sept.22th 7pm PDT\" alt=\"Promotional Ananta screenshot showing three characters. \"Discover different walks of life: Assemble your own unique squad.\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/i-played-chinas-anime-gta-ananta-and-i-wasnt-surprised-to-find-spider-man-swinging-and-batman-punching-but-i-wasnt-quite-ready-for-the-vampire-who-vomits-rainbows.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: NetEase)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Taffy is less surprised by this than I am. Not in a &#8220;she&#8217;s used to vampires who throw up rainbows&#8221; kind of way, as Ananta does not use this mission to reveal some sort of in-universe lore about a race of vampires suffering some sort of sci-fi gut-melting virus. The vibe I get from Ananta is that none of these characters are going to be very surprised or upset or unduly threatened by anything: they&#8217;re all seemingly different strains of jovial bouncy superhero.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m pretty sure my driving wasn&#8217;t the problem: I delivered the vampire to some sort of cult who played him up as a fearsome warrior as a gag before he continued puking into a rusty barrel.<\/p>\n<p>It was just one baffling sidequest out of a game that promises unfathomable scope. I can&#8217;t say Ananta&#8217;s driving or punching or swinging felt exemplary\u2014but none of them really felt that bad, either! This may be a game that does dozens of things acceptably well. And it made me laugh. Maybe Ananta&#8217;s developers didn&#8217;t start from the cynical position of copying the most high-profile games in the world. Maybe they were just brainstorming and someone said yes to every single idea they came up with, even vampires barfing ROYGBIV?<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x01l_jMhjVM\"> It&#8217;s done, love it, it&#8217;s in the game.
