In recent years, the saying that "martial artists are dead" has often appeared. Because with the growth and transformation of the game genre, it is difficult to see the scenes of the "Eight Swords of Shenzhou", "Xuanyuan Sword", "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", "Immortal Sword" and "Heaven and Earth Robbery" and other works competing for glory in that year. Even with the change of game development and profit model, it seems that it is difficult to see a successful single-player martial artist.
However, recently, in the update of the martial arts action game "Forever Doom", many players seem to have finally seen the hope of revival of domestic martial arts games.
It is understood that at the new event launch conference "Yongwu Fighting Sword Conference" opened some time ago, the official "Eternal Destruction" officially announced five major IP linkages, including not only martial arts masters such as Bruce Lee, but also a classic melody that makes martial arts game fans get goosebumps when they hear it - "Yongwu Official" actually linked Daewoo's "two swords" at one time, and the classic male protagonist Li Xiaoyao in the "Xuanyuan Sword" series appeared at the same time, and behind him also appeared the role of "Xuanyuan Sword", Tuoba Yu'er's figure!
The appearance of these two sets of classic images naturally triggered a heated discussion among players. Some players believe that linkage is bound to be related to skins. For example, some players analyzed the lottery information of the "Little Black Box" app, and believed that in addition to the skin that has been announced in this linkage, there may also be classic characters in the two series such as Yu Xiaoxue and Lin Yueru.
In addition, in the voting, it can be seen that many players love Zhao Ling'er, the character of the first game of the "Immortal Sword" series, and as of press time, a total of 2869 people have given Zhao Ling'er an expectation vote. In the end, who will spend the linkage female character is also causing many players to speculate and expect.
In addition to the choice of character linkage, there are also players who speculate about the application of the character linkage skin. As a well-balanced action chicken game, The Balance of Forever Is Always Always Has always been very cautious, rarely launching super powerful classes, but focusing on teamwork. Some of the powerful characters in "Daewoo Double Sword" seem to be difficult to turn into a class, so players also focus their ideas on guessing the professional skin.
For example, Li Xiaoyao was speculated whether he would become a fire man because of the prop of the wine gourd. And Zhao Ling'er, because she can change into the body of Nuwa, is speculated that she may become a special skin of Cui Sanniang.
In addition, with the release of the linkage message, many players have speculated about the image choice of the skin. After all, famous IP such as "Xianjian" has had a lot of cos and film and television drama images. And what players love is different. For example, Hu Ge's version of "Li Xiaoyao" and Liu Yifei's version of "Zhao Ling'er" are also super popular. However, for the "Eternal Robbery" players, it seems easy to want whose version, after all, the game comes with a powerful face pinching system, which version of the character you want, do it yourself or find help from the gods.
Then again, why is this linkage important for domestic martial arts games? In fact, from the perspective of the AAA game market in recent years, it is not difficult to see that it is difficult to make a large open world game, or a large RPG game. It is difficult for manufacturers at home and abroad to reproduce the miracle of many years ago.
And "Forever Doom" already has a mature gameplay and an excellent sales as a guarantee, which can bring players rich fun and long-term companionship. Picking it up and playing, every game can have a new harvest, this kind of experience of easy to put away is obviously more in line with the present. On its basis, some classic martial arts IP is linked, so that the new generation of players can also understand the classic, which is naturally a solid continuation and inheritance. Although this will not revive the classic works, it will at least ensure the accumulation of popularity.
In addition, the linkage of "Eternal Destruction" is so large that people can't help but wonder if the follow-up official has any big moves in terms of linkage? What IP cooperation do you want to see the game and? Feel free to share it in the comments section.
