A local research institute has reviewed 20 Chinese mobile games in its efforts to protect minors from game addiction. Honor of Kings was rated most effective, getting 85 points out of 100.

Just behind that, Game for Peace and Naruto: Ultimate Storm both earned 83 points. With Onmyoji and Minecraft’s Chinese version, these five mobile games belonged to the First Tier.

The institute releasing this report is the Southern Finance and Economics Compliance Tech Research Institute.

Last August, the Chinese regulators stated kids are allowed only three hours of video games per week. After that, game system moderation methods were improved, such as parental supervising mode, anti-addiction systems, and payment withdrawal systems.

Along with these mechanisms, the research also looked at the grey-area behavior of renting accounts to minors.

In this report, the lowest points receiver was Junior Three Kingdom: Zero with 53 points. It was in the Lowest Tier with Arknights (55 points).
