5. Genshin Impact – One of the best MMORPG mobile games in Malaysia!

Last but not least, one of the most popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing games (MMORPG) among mobile games in Malaysia, is the Genshin Impact (GI). GI has the open-world concept with gacha in acquiring characters, which is rare among popular MMORPG. The game was developed by miHoYo, a Chinese studio. To play the game, you start by having control over a party of multiple characters which you can only control one at a time and are able to swap from one character to another accordingly. The combat is in real-time – typical of MMORPG.

This game is originally made for PC but then adapted to mobile platforms. Unlike most mobile games that are adapted from PC games, GI in mobile is identical to the one in PC, meaning that Genshin Impact players are able to crossplay across platforms (PC, PS4, and mobile). Inside the game, players have to utilize a combination of ranged, melee, and elemental attacks against the enemies across the open world and dungeons. The gacha in the game is a huge factor in deciding whether you’re going to enjoy the game or not, also dependent on your patience. You’re going to have a great time playing if you get the higher tier characters in your early pulls. However, over time, the gacha factor will fade away and you will be able to enjoy the game to the fullest.
