If you're waiting for NTE's official launch or want to try similar games alongside it, here are 10 games worth your attention.
- 1Genshin Impact
The benchmark for open-world action RPGs. While its world is fantasy rather than urban, the elemental reaction combat and rich exploration make it the genre leader. Free-to-play with multi-platform support.
- 1Wuthering Waves
NTE's most direct competitor. Also focused on skill-based action combat with the unique Echo system providing distinct progression. Post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting with stunning visuals.
- 1Honkai: Star Rail
While turn-based rather than action, this HoYoverse title delivers strong production quality. Its sci-fi worldbuilding and polished character design make it one of the most popular gacha RPGs.
- 1Zenless Zone Zero
HoYoverse's urban action game set in a modern city, sharing NTE's urban fantasy DNA. Roguelike dungeon exploration and fluid action combat are its core selling points.
- 1Tower of Fantasy
Open-world RPG blending sci-fi and fantasy elements. Like NTE, it offers rich character progression and multiplayer content. Free-to-play.
- 1Blue Archive
School-themed RPG with modern campus worldbuilding. While strategy-based rather than action, its contemporary setting resonates with NTE's urban atmosphere.
- 1Persona 5: The Phantom X
The mobile adaptation of the Persona series shares NTE's urban fantasy theme. The dual narrative of daily school life and otherworldly adventure parallels NTE's Esper-flavored appeal.
- 1Punishing: Gray Raven
High-quality action RPG in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting. Hardcore fluid combat and beautiful character designs. If you enjoy NTE's combat pacing, PGR is an easy recommendation.
- 1Zenless Zone Zero (Urban Alternative)
If what you love most is the city mood, style-forward presentation, and fast combat, ZZZ is one of the closest alternatives in spirit.
- 1Tower of Fantasy (Alternative Pick)
For players seeking open-world exploration with character collection, ToF provides a different but related experience.
Among these, Zenless Zone Zero and P5X share the closest urban themes with NTE. Wuthering Waves and Genshin offer similar but distinct open-world exploration experiences.
