Chapter 393: "The Shore of the Land" Trial
Soon, there were more and more Three Kingdoms games participating in the game collection activities on the market.
Most of them are some works that follow the trend, but there are also some works of good quality.
The most eye-catching is a game of Zen Mutual Entertainment, "Three Kingdoms Heroes", which is a Three Kingdoms game that slightly innovates the card gameplay.
The core gameplay of this game is still the set of card mobile games, pushing maps, battles, and stringing together the entire historical background of the Three Kingdoms period.
However, the campaign packaging of this game is relatively new, not the kind of one map by one, but a whole large map. Players can unlock a portion of the large map after challenging a key city, and eventually slowly unlock the entire Three Kingdoms territory.
This is a relatively big innovation.
Other gameplay methods have also made some micro-innovations, such as the military general system, equipment system, and also made some traditional gameplay, such as divine souls, general stars, mount systems, and so on.
In addition to this, the game's art is also an important selling point.
The backstory of this game is not completely in accordance with the traditional Three Kingdoms culture, but has been magically modified, adding gods and demons to the background of the Three Kingdoms. For example, the traditional negative characters such as Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are all designed to be the descendants of the demon god, and the original card design is very cool.
Although this design is not a revolutionary innovation, it at least gives this game a better art coat and makes a very clear difference from other Three Kingdoms games.
Moreover, the level of painters of Zen mutual entertainment is really good, these original paintings are very finely painted, and the modeling design is great, which not only reflects the characteristics of the generals, but also attaches the color of gods and demons to them, which is very pleasing to young people.
If these original paintings are outsourced, each of them will cost more than 10,000 yuan, and the price is very expensive.
Moreover, in order to better reflect the characteristics of the national war, this game has made a special national war system, and players can freely fight on the large map to compete for the ownership of each city.
It's just that the gameplay of this large map national war is relatively simple, the ownership of the city changes quickly, and there are no tactics to speak of. But this gameplay at least makes the big map national war, and it can inspire players' sense of honor.
Zen Mutual Entertainment has also done a lot of publicity for "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" this time, and the momentum is very large.
Many designers feel that "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" should be the most promising work to win the first place in this game collection activity.
Although the core of its gameplay is still the same as that of a card mobile game, after all, a lot of changes have been made, and the art style, derivative gameplay, and national wars have been done very well.
Moreover, this gameplay cannot be said to be bad, after all, the card player gameplay has long been proven by the market to play successfully, if you do this game, it is impossible to catch fire, but it is impossible to lose, it is a very safe choice.
As for Chen Mo's "The Shore of the Land"? It's too risky to be relatively speaking, after all, it's a completely new way to play, and it's not even related to any previous game, any gameplay, who can guarantee that players will buy it?
……
After the launch of "The Shore of the Land", players also quickly discovered this work.
"Huh? Chen Mo made a Three Kingdoms game? "The Shore of the Land"? ”
"It's a weird name. However, there is a source, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Feeling like it's a land-related game? ”
"Uh, a land grab?"
"Who knows, but Chen Mo actually made the Three Kingdoms game, I always thought that he was not good at the Three Kingdoms theme if he didn't do the Three Kingdoms."
"How could Chen Mo not be good at the Three Kingdoms theme, the Three Kingdoms theme is an entry theme for many designers."
"But the Three Kingdoms are not easy to do, there are a bunch of Three Kingdoms games every year, but there are few that are really fun."
"This must be played, after all, it is produced by Chen Mo!"
……
Zheng Hongxi is also playing "The Shore of the Land".
Chen Mo completed this game completely by himself, and did not ask Su Jinyu or Zheng Hongxi to help.
Zheng Hongxi was also a little curious after learning that this game did not have any plot, how could he do a good job in the Three Kingdoms game without a plot at all?
You must know that the most valuable part of the IP of the Three Kingdoms is actually its plot, in which a large number of historical events are classic events, such as the straw boat borrowing arrows, the burning of the company camp, the empty city plan, the seven captures and seven verticals, etc., many classic Three Kingdoms games are classic precisely because of the interpretation of these historical events from different angles, thus sublimating the original plot of the Three Kingdoms.
But if you put aside the plot and make a Three Kingdoms game? It is equivalent to giving up a very important aspect of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, Chen Mo would definitely not be so stupid that he couldn't even think of this, since he dared to give up the plot of the Three Kingdoms, he obviously found a way to play without harm if he abandoned the plot.
With this curiosity, Zheng Hongxi downloaded "The Shore of the Land" on his mobile phone and entered the game.
The first is a very short opening.
The palace is brightly lit under dark clouds, with neat armies below, and when you tap the screen, the sunlight shines through the dark clouds, and the screen zooms in to enter the game's landing screen.
On the front of the palace, the soldiers are neatly arranged, lined on both sides, and the military generals and ministers are climbing the stairs, as if they are about to make a pilgrimage. On the palace, a large tripod symbolizing power is located in the center of the picture, which looks full of majesty.
This opening and landing interface is actually very simple and not difficult to do, but it shows the historical background of the Three Kingdoms era very well, and the atmosphere is also very in line with the characteristics of the national war.
Once you've logged in to Thunder Game Pass, you'll start playing.
First of all, a very simple CG, accompanied by dynamic pictures, a sentence of four-character ancient text appeared on the screen.
[At the end of the Han Dynasty, the chaos of the country; The heroes rise together, and the industry is strong; The attack is endless, and the battle is endless. 】
[Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. 】
These dynamic pictures are different scenes, there are troops attacking the city, there are the Son of Heaven sealing Zen, there are hundreds of officials worshipping, and there are fighting in the wilderness......
Zheng Hongxi could see that Chen Mo didn't have that much time to make such a cool opening, so he just did it briefly. But just a few words, for a mobile game, it's almost enough.
"Sure enough, what the store manager is best at is doing the best performance with the least amount of resources." Zheng Hongxi said with emotion.
Entering the game, the screen first turns, focusing on a very large city: Luoyang.
[Luoyang in ancient times, the important capital of the country, galloping through the post, in the world. 】
The screen turns again, presenting players with a large map of the entire Three Kingdoms period. It's just that this big map is not divided into three countries, Wei, Shu and Wu like the traditional Three Kingdoms game, but is divided into thirteen states such as Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou.
[Liuhe rests and follows, goes across thousands of miles, wants to determine the eight directions, and all states take it. 】
[The star will come to the world, the establishment of the business will start, the tiger will look around, and the balance will not stop. 】
[I would like to encourage the essence, the morning and the evening, the peace and the martial arts, starting from a corner. 】
This passage is half-literate and half-white, which is relatively awkward, and may not be incomprehensible to some players who do not have a high level of ancient literature.
But these people probably won't take it seriously, and this passage doesn't necessarily make all players understand, anyway, it's forced to go, and everyone just understands the spirit.
Zheng Hongxi himself is doing the plot, and he must understand it.
Coupled with the previous CG, these words actually mean this: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose up together and fought against each other. Luoyang is the world, and those who get Luoyang win the world. The world is very big, and if you want to calm the troubled times, you must unify the states. The star has already descended into the world, but it has just established a career, and it is surrounded by powerful enemies, so it must be cautious and slowly grow from a small place.
Obviously, the star refers to the player.
