Hello everyone, I am Dr. X.
In recent years, the big world and freedom seem to be increasingly the development direction favored by role-playing games. The emergence of many high-quality RPGs has opened up a new subdivision track, and a number of new games have joined the inner volume.
Originally, a national-level classic online game like "Demon Domain" can gain the support of a large number of players by relying on feelings, and many games for some years have indeed done so.
However, it does not like to remain unchanged, actively participate in the new era of the volume, on the basis of the original 2.5D perspective map, opened up a new 3D Mountain and Sea Longitude World Map, but also through two consecutive versions of continuous updates, the long-standing Mountain and Sea Classics culture, step by step into the game.
Key point one: The mountains and seas of the Demon Domain are ambitious, and the version is updated to play into a series?
In the july-updated annual expansion pack "Mountains and Seas: Overture", "Demon Domain" shows the ambition of the 3D mountains and seas to the outside world for the first time.
As the first strange book in ancient China, the rare beasts, the larks of mountains and seas and the wonderful worlds depicted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are symbols of the romantic thought of the Chinese people, and naturally they cannot be easily presented in one version.
Therefore, only five months after the July expansion pack, "Demon Domain" continued to launch a new version of "Mountains and Seas: Divine Beasts Descending", using the four ancient divine beasts to fill the most indispensable link in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
For the general public, there will be some first impressions of some well-known divine beasts. However, the practice of "Demon Domain" is to strengthen the first impression on the one hand and give it a proper figurative external image; on the other hand, it breaks the first impression and reshapes it, exposes its unknown side, and makes the four god beasts give people a contrasting surprise.
This is like the performance method of "Donkey Kong" in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2", this fierce Chinese god beast, as soon as it touches the hair ball, it transforms into a "big-eyed cute boy" like a big cat, and the circle of strength is cute at home and abroad.
And "Demon Domain" also takes such a route. Take suān ní, one of the four sacred beasts, which is one of the nine sons of the mythical dragon, a beast that tends to avoid evil, commonly found in various architectural decorations, copper mirror incense burners, and loves incense and meditation.
At first glance, this mighty "chaos power" in the "Demon Domain", which resembles a riding state of thick smoke and mist, is indeed very attractive as described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
However, when switching to the expedition form, the appearance of the fox immediately changed greatly, the body shape shrank, the whole body became as cute as a cub, and often made a good gesture of spoiling and rolling, is it difficult to restore the form of the fox when he was a child? Salty and sweet, it's unexpected.
For example, Ying Long, the "Master of the Gods" who once killed Yu Kua's father, helped Da Yu to rule the water, and sent a river map to Fu Xi and taught the Yan Emperor Shen Nong's way of ruling the world, such an ancient god of war whose strength value and aura were full, was actually "she", breaking the stereotype that "the powerful dragon clan is a male character" in our common cognition, and giving it two different physical appearances.
In the state of mounting, the dragon can transform into a flawless and mighty dragon body, leading the player across the mountains and seas.
In the state of conquest, Ying Long can transform into a cold imperial sister, but under the seemingly cold appearance hides a girl's heart that likes to play with small animals.
This stark contrast causes the player to chant "Sister, look at me!" On the one hand, he couldn't help but follow the copy of the immersive divine beast story to explore Ying Long's true inner world.
There are also divine bird jingwei, three-legged golden wu, the four major divine beasts have two forms of expedition and riding, and come with four major skills of active, blessed, passive and mounted, each leading the way in the field of appearance! This probably means that in the future, players will take the four divine beasts to travel through the wilderness, which is a top enjoyment that combines riding, companionship and pleasing to the eye.
Key point two: For the Elder Divine Beasts, the four major Divine Beasts are actually free?
However, what Dr. X did not expect most was that this time, in order to increase the number of new cultivation systems for the "Divine Beast Descending", the "Demon Domain" actually announced that the Divine Beast was free from acquisition to cultivation?
You should know that the pet esper game system has always been the most complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive gameplay in the RPG game, but "Demon Domain" is free, which is not the most bold and generous concession to the player since its operation?!
The emergence of the Divine Beast System is also a major impact and change on the original Esper System.
According to the official description, any esper of the player, as long as it reaches the base star, can be fused with the four major divine beasts, and the fused espers will be comprehensively improved in terms of attributes and skills.
At the same time, activated but unfused Divine Beasts can also join the ranks of battle aids, giving the fused Divine Beasts one more damage bonus!
Fusion plus combat assistance is equivalent to saying that our espers can get the "Divine Beast Attribute Bonus + Passive Skill Bonus + Active/Blessing Skill Damage + Auxiliary Battle Damage Bonus" such a four-in-one combat power bonus, breaking the ceiling of combat power again!
When fusing, you can also choose to transform the esper into the form of a divine beast, such as a fox, a spirit like a jingwei, a handsome jinwu, a beautiful dragon, different fusion of different forms, as if instantly has the world's most eye-catching appearance, allowing players to study and match at will, until they show the most desired look in their minds.
Post-lesson summary:
It can be said that from the continuation of the "Demon Domain" for the Shanhai Jing expansion pack and the gamified interpretation of Chinese culture, it proves that the game "Demon Domain" is uneasy with the status quo and constantly seeks the courage to innovate and break through, which is in stark contrast to many contemporary online games that are idle and hold their feelings to nibble on the old.
And I believe that as one of the most important treasures of Chinese culture, how the game will dig deep and interpret the elements inside is a good opportunity for both the project team and the players to understand the brilliant ancient culture.
