When Semaphore first revealed Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta, gaming community and critcs across the globe gave it a title "Clone or Copy of Uncharted series".
But finally Semaphore has broken their silence and commented on the Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta being a copy of Uncharted accusations.
Many developers try to copy great games and they often fail miserably. These are some video game rip-offs that are hilariously bad.
Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing
We kick off the Year of the Bad Games with this Uncharted knock-off.

I think I paid about 50p for it, despite the game being pretty bad (even for ps2 standards), the glitches were hilarious, I had fun with it :)
Just learned about this game, and watched a couple of YT videos of the "first one". Wish I never did, this is probably one of the worst games, I have ever seen!
at least they acknowledge the existence of naughty dog and admit that uncharted is where the inspiration came from.
of course, they cant expect everyone to just be cool with that. there's a fine line between paying homage and ripping off. most people will see it as the latter
Complete total RIP OFF and so called "inspiration" are completely TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Bungie took inspirations from James Cameron's Aliens for Halo. Not a rip off since they look different yet its still the same space marine vs aliens.
This Unearthed game is just a sad pathetic rip off of naughty dog's greatest franchise. Just look at those screenshots. WOW.
It's called Un_____ed and has the same font. This isn't inspiration, it's copying.
WarZ all over again.
I think it's meant to be legal ripoff. They obviously know they copied uncharted, how else would they make it so similar. But it's meant to be a cultural parallel copy.
Just look at the Modern combat games for mobiles, they're literally meant to be just like call of duty, specially 3 and 4, and people are a lot more accepting of those games.
NOVA is a literal copy of halo, NOVA 3 is a copy of crysis, and everyone's ok with it.
Point is, these types of games aren't meant to be taken seriously. They aren't targeting western games anyway.
"Everyone at (inset crap developer's name) are making a game that looks just like (insert popular game title and similar character art or cover) but it's not the same as (mention popular game again), in fact it's very different than (say name of good game again). In fact, even though we were inspired by (say name of good game again)it's more like (say name of other amazing game)" lol
Maybe they could be more obvious. Trying to use the comparison to market their crappy game, LOL. Our game is not Uncharted, bla bla bla... Face it, no one even gives a sh#t your game exists.
Give it a rest. Not buying.
