Alchemy Stars recently stirred up some drama in the gacha game community by sending out an in-game mail that subtly pokes fun at character designs in HoYoVerse's Zenless Zone Zero. On Zenless Zone Zero's release day, Alchemy Stars characters Tiny One and Sinsa highlighted perceived similarities with Zenless Zone Zero characters Koleda and Anton. Alchemy Stars' playful jab includes free rewards for its players, sparking a light-hearted comparison between the two games' character designs.
Are the character designs in Zenless Zone Zero copied from Alchemy Stars?nThe basis of the comparison is that Alchemy Stars released in 2021, while Zenless Zone Zero's Belobog faction, which includes Koleda and Anton, was revealed in 2022. Despite some visual similarities, the characters have differences in personality and abilities, making it more of a playful jab than a serious accusation of copying.
Zenless Zone Zero, developed by HoYoVerse, is an action-adventure RPG set in a post-apocalyptic urban environment. It features the Belobog faction, among others, and promises fast-paced combat and an engaging storyline. Alchemy Stars, on the other hand, is a tactical RPG with a heavy emphasis on strategy and character collection. Despite the differing gameplay mechanics, both games share the commonality of featuring well-designed, appealing characters that have garnered significant player interest.
