We’re Sure Nintendo Will Have No Issues At All With This New PC Creature Battler
Olympus Rangers, an upcoming creature battler game developed by Mechano and published by Jandusoft, has been unveiled with a debut trailer that reveals striking similarities to Nintendo’s Pokémon franchise. The game features visual and mechanical elements that closely mirror Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, including a comparable battle arena design, a similar Scarlet & Violet-esque setting, and creature designs described as having a “legally distinct” quality that suggests they closely resemble Pokémon despite being technically different.
The title’s sarcastic headline—“We’re Sure Nintendo Will Have No Issues At All With This New PC Creature Battler”—underscores expectations that Nintendo will likely pursue legal action against the game, much as it has with other Pokémon-inspired titles. The article references Pickmos, a similar creature battler that was recently removed from Steam, suggesting a pattern of Nintendo enforcing its intellectual property rights against clone games.
Olympus Rangers is set to launch on PC via Steam, joining a growing market of creature battler games attempting to capitalize on the Pokémon formula.
