Rock Hippo is hosting the game in English under the name MicroVolts.

It's currently in closed beta and I have a key. I can agree that the game rips off elements from TF2.

But a few good points that make this game unique is that there are no weapon classes and that health and items only spawn from kills you or others have made. Although these game concepts are not original, they make the game a good challenge.

Plus, it's anime-ish style makes the game look cool, right everyone?

Looks like a cheap Team Fortress 2 mod. Probably is.

The video sort of reminds me of an Anti-Toy Story.

I'm glad you mention that. In South Korea, this game is known as HAVE Online. I remember reading that article off of Kotaku a year ago and yes I was suprised to see it being a Team Fortress 2 rip-off. Look at these picture, and this is no coincidence.

Also I recalled that another South Korean game company ripped off Portal.

Honestly, does it matter if they ripped off a game? As long as it's awesome, we should give it a try.

Well that would depend to whoever you're talking to. I really don't mind a rip-off since most of our games had influences from other game. I know Team Fortress is not always original since there were other team-based multiplayer game before them, so I would have to yell that TF 2 was a rip off of those. I did remember reading this article about Gameloft (famous for making cell phone game and clones of famous game) ripping off Starcraft with Starfront, yet Starcraft was considered a rip-off of Warhammer 40K.

Also I love it when people say that we remade too much Asian film but yet, Asia is starting to remake our film like Japan remade Sideways and Ghost. I wonder how long until Japan will decide to remake Twilight (no not in anime form) and The Godfather (would be kind of cool if Sonny Chiba play Vito Corleone for the remake), and people will say "Screw the original American film, the Japanese remake is superior".

Also I love it how people claim we ripped off anime and manga, but never complain about how Asia ripped off some of our stuff like Team Fortress 2. Yep, example of double standard Asian supremacy.

does it really matter that the games are similar?????

I personally never liked team fortress 2, I am a FPS type of person, but I also enjoy anime, so somebody was smart enough to incorporate something I like in to a game I didn't like, and that made me like it.

people will still buy TF2, people will buy this game, it is just a matter of taste. now if this game will allow me to play games with the japanese version, then I would like even more.

and on the same note, look at all the GTA clones out there, like saints row, just cause, and the like, they all are similar, but each have a different aspect that makes you want to play it...

That's true and also I remember GTA 4 sort of borrow the cell phone thing from Saint Rows 2, and Mafia 2 took some Blackhand combat from The Godfather: The game. So nothing is really original these day, that's why they have to throw in some creative idea to not make it a "clone" even though it is still a clone.
