There is inspired by, there’s a ripoff, and then there’s this. Tencent tried to get the licence beforehand so what I think happened is they built a Horizon game intending to get the licence, they failed to get it, so they just released the game anyways.
Seems a bit mad that with all their money and a game already made they couldn’t be bothered to file off the serial numbers a bit more. I imagine this happens all the time with licencing deals, I know for instance Warcraft was originally written to be a Warhammer game.

Because, to be blunt, a lot of apps seem to get away with it without getting sued. Especially mobile clones
And especially when faced with the difficulty of trying to sue a company in a different country.
