Gaming déjà vu got you questioning reality? In this episode of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee dive into the shadowy world of copycat games. From shameless Genshin clones to the endless parade of Battle Royales, we're breaking down the trends, tropes, and straight-up thefts that have taken over your favorite genres.
We’ll explore the games that started it all—and the ones that just hit copy + paste. What makes a clone work? When does inspiration cross the line? And why does every game suddenly feel like the same game?
Expect some hard truths, hot takes, and side-eye as we talk mobile madness, Fortnite formulas, and even the live-service games trying to wear ten different hats at once. If you’ve ever thought “Wait, didn’t I already play this?”—this one’s for you.
🎮 From comfort clones to creative frauds, this is the episode that dares to say what everyone’s thinking.
