In case you need to be sure just how close these character designs are to the inspiration, letâs take a better look at them:
Just like Overwatch, there are a bunch of skins available. To the gameâs credit, some of them look OK, incorporating unique designs that pay homage to famous Chinese characters/stories, or just look cool in their own right.
