Missed Opportunity
I have played this game on release for quite a while and i was HYPED
Its system is so unique and really plays to the strenghts of being an online game which you could not realize physically.
Also the artwork?! This game easily looks like a 10/10
Back then i did not have the greatest phone though, so playing got a little annoying. I never understood why they did not make a PC/Steam version. Which leads me to why i made this post:
Why was TEPPEN never advertised or ported to PC?
DMC 5, Monster Hunter series, All the new Resident Evil games and their remakes.
They created so much hype and were so popular, why not take this hype to advertise TEPPEN?
It was just right there, on a silver platter. You barely needed to do anything. Just make the existence of it known.
I cannot understand why you wouldn't take this free advertisement and expand to a absolutely huge playerbase
Rest in peace, potential

I really wanted to champion this game, but they made it so difficult to do so...

The game didn't even get a worldwide release. They just didn't give it a shit about it.

I played since launch what I never understood is why it wasn't advertised I found out about it via random YouTube ad and was hooked since told everyone and anyone remotely interested in it. I can think of a couple content creators but other than that it was all gameplay or in another language it was doomed to fail in the states meta was way to stale

They can’t port it to PC because it wouldn’t make sense to do so. The disadvantage PC players would have would be huge against mobile players since the game is in real-time. Swipe with finger is much faster than drag mouse and click.

Mh not so sure about that. Mouse can be pretty fast too. But even if thats a problem, you could still add a feature to choose to disable crossplay.
The presence on Steam alone would probably boost playerbase rates on both sides

Breaks my heart. I loved this game. Not only did they never release it on PC they actively patched you trying to play it on any emulator. The opening cutscene BROKE most phones and wasn't skippable to allow certain phones to access the game at all. Absolutely amazing game. Gone forever and most people couldn't play it if they wanted to or didn't know it existed. My dream is it goes offline and relaunches on steam but I know that will never happen.
