Honestly it kinda reminds me of blizzard games back in the day.

Folks remember the StarCraft adverts and cutscenes? Not remotely like the game.

I wonder why we gave them a pass. Probably because the game was still fun, I guess

I played WoW when it came out but I thought even then it was clear that their adverts and cutscenes weren't trying to fool us into believing that was the gameplay. I can't speak for StarCraft, but in WoW they were labeled as Cinematic Cutscenes. Most mobile games ads i see are made to look like gameplay, even the picture OP posted.
