TarisLand is a cross-platform mobile MMORPG that has been officially released in China. it is available on Android, iOS, and PC. It claims not to sell power boosts, features hardcore PvE dungeons and customizable combat styles, and has indeed sparked significant discussion in China.

Unlike other Tencent games, TarisLand has not been heavily advertised everywhere but has instead targeted specific players in its marketing efforts. The game's tagline conveys the environment they aim to create: "No P2W" (No Pay to Win).
When this game was released, most Chinese players felt a sense of familiarity. 

In early marketing efforts, the game's publishers almost openly associated their game with World of Warcraft. Upon release, players could indeed see many familiar systems and content. This might have led to some player backlash, but after experiencing the game, it indeed has its own unique characteristics and strengths.

Hardcore Dungeon Raids

The classic class setups help players quickly adapt and experience the thrill of puzzle-solving and teamwork in intense PvE dungeons.

Principle of Fairness

No stat-boosting items are sold in the shop. Players need to enhance their strength by understanding class mechanics and making adjustments.

Customizable Combat Styles

The interplay between classes, races, and skills allows for diverse and flexible combat strategies for dungeon raids.

Due to being a cross-platform game for both PC and mobile, the developers have tailored the operating systems for each platform. The PC version allows for more precise controls and fine-tuning, while the mobile version has been streamlined to be simpler and more convenient to use. Players can choose the platform that best suits their needs and adjust their gameplay experience accordingly.
