Is this even a mobile game? I haven't seen anything that indicates it is and ARPG's are nothing new. There will always be both markets, it may get to a point where they are a shared market with mobile just being an alternative platform like the rest but you can't create the immersive experiences for a small screen that you can for the other platforms, and that's an experience people will always want.
It doesn't look mobile at all. It has a 4 button interface for console obviously, but nothing about that video looked like mobile. It just looked like a non finished ARPG.

You should try watching the whole video and listening to what they are saying. Those four abilities are part of a deck system so as you use the abilities you draw new ones from the deck, and you build the deck. That's something very new.
I'm in for this game. Sounds interesting and has some fresh ideas.
Diablo4 and poe are gonna kill this game and I don't even like them either

Yeah both gameplay vids are wizard type classes. Magic has so many diff types of "classes" and the first ones they choose to show are generic wizards that every eastern game has and usually has first. Would like to see some of the gritier and/or unique classes that exist in this IP's universe.
I mean fantasy games going back to the original D&D have had some element of chance with things like to-hit and saving dice rolls etc. or even unpredictable procs. But when you knew how to do something, ie. learned a skill or spell, there was no RNG about whether you could use it or not. It might hit harder sometimes or proc effects, and there could be resource or daily use or other timed limits but that's plausible based on how much doing something special took out of you and how long you then had to recuperate before you could do it again.
But this thing of build a deck of things you know and then get to use them based on chance just has no plausible connection to how doing what you know how to do actually works.
I'm not saying that MtG isn't fun as a fantasy card game just that the random card system is another layer of game between you and the role you're playing.
But that's just me. I get enjoyment out of systems that help me pretend I am that wizard and much less so when gaminess gets between me and that fantasy role. /shrug.

Like, you're making an ARPG
The first logical question is "Where do the majority of the ARPG audience reside?"
Oh right, they're all on PC playing POE.
Maybe we should advertise a PC build....
Make your console version if you want but I have 0 idea why you wouldn't want to appeal to the preexisting ARPG (or people playing MTG on PC) first.
This is just sad.
