It's a gacha game (prints money with pseudo gambling micro transactions) that has the same look and mechanics as Breathe of the Wild

I don't know about the mechanics but the cel shading look of Breath of the Wild has been around since at least the Dreamcast with JetSet Radio.

Making a shader using normals for the color values has been around a long time.
