True Three Kingdoms Peerless 8 Empire Review: Rewriting history is so interesting, familiar and strange

True Three Kingdoms 8 Empire finally released on December 23, which may be a familiar and unfamiliar game for most "Peerless fans". It is familiar because the IP of "True Three Kingdoms" has a history of 20 years, and the series of works launched on various platforms totals of dozens (various versions), even if you have not played it, you must have heard or seen it. It is strange because "True Three Kingdoms 8" has made drastic improvements in the system, but the results are not satisfactory. And "True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8 Empire" is enhanced on the basis of "True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8", so there is an extraordinary experience when playing. So today AGamer will talk to you about what the True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8 Empire (referred to as "Empire") is like.

New combat system

The combat system of the "True Three Kingdoms Matchless" series has always been a combination of light and heavy attacks, that is, different numbers of light attacks, ending with heavy attacks, which is often referred to as "C skill". "True Three Kingdoms 5" eliminated the C technique and replaced it with a dance system, which also led to problems in the reputation of the work. Trigger attacks are introduced in Empire, i.e. R2 and the combination of blocks, triangles, and forks release specific skills, and skills such as floating and stun are easier to release, provided that you must accumulate a scale.

The Secret Meter is another very important combat system in Empires, using the combination of L1 and the cross key, you can use the corresponding Secret Meter. Different secrets vary in ability, level, and number of terms. There are effects on the player's own, such as restoring health, increasing the scale, etc.; attacking, such as wind, fire, thunder, etc.; and canceling enemy plans, increasing the secret meter, and so on. Reasonable collocation and use of secret skills can greatly reduce the difficulty of the game.

The Matchless Dance remains, and each character has two matchless skills, both released in a circle, depending on whether the conditions are on the ground or in the air. When the player's health level is lower than a certain level, when the health bar turns red, Peerless will still automatically recover. In addition to this, there is a special move, which is triggered by pressing R1 and the circle, which can be seen as a small incomparable skill.

Relatively single battlefield

There are only two kinds of battles in Empire, one is offensive and the other is defensive. The attacking side needs to use the rushing car, the defender is in the city, and the attacking party needs to use any of the weapons in the rushing car, the well, or the catapult. There will be multiple strongholds on the battlefield, and the remaining strength will be displayed on each stronghold, and when the player clears zero, the suppressed stronghold can be converted to their own side. It should be noted that when the enemy general enters the stronghold, the general must be cleared to suppress it.

In order to increase the change of the battlefield, there are also a lot of combat secrets in "Empire", that is, battlefield conditions. If it is completed within the specified time, the corresponding effect can be triggered. For example, suppressing three strongholds in three minutes can achieve the secret plan of fighting alone, and the effect is that the whole army of our side appears and fights heroically. Both the enemy and us have combat secrets, and sometimes they exist at the same time, so many times players will travel back and forth between various strongholds, racing against time.

In Empire, strength is a very important factor, whether before or during a battle, players can view the strength of both the enemy and us. If the player's strength is gone, then the player cannot be revived. That's right, unlike in this legend, dead is dead, in Empire, as long as there are still troops, you can be resurrected again. When playing this legend, I felt that I could fight with one hundred, as long as I didn't die, as long as I could directly kill the boss, I could pass the level. But this idea does not work in "Empire", the troops are gone, the morale is reduced, the attack power will be reduced, there is no siege weapon, and even the boss's face cannot be seen. Even if the boss is seen in advance in the defensive battle, killing the boss before the decisive battle conditions are triggered will not end the game. In other words, the battle of "Empire" requires more consideration of the overall situation.

The workplace beyond the battlefield

"Empire" is actually a version of the internal affairs system added to this biography, which is a bit of a combination of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "True Three Kingdoms". Internal affairs is divided into three parts: setting goals, implementation and evaluation, the setting link requires the player to preset the offensive objectives and strategic goals, and the actions of each month after setting the goals can still be decided by themselves, and when the evaluation is made, they will be evaluated according to the player's completion. Players no longer have to choose a certain faction and play according to the development of the plot, but can create the plot according to their own ideas. For example, I chose Guan Yu at the beginning to do things under Gongsun Zhan, and as the rank continued to increase and the power continued to grow, Liu Bei actually pulled me to go out independently. I thought he wanted me to work for him, but I became the boss after I went out. I need to think about when to recruit, when to develop agriculture, which forces to ally with, and even to take a walk and talk to my subordinates. These are things that cannot be experienced in this "mowing the grass".

In order to increase the strength of my troops, I got closer to some military generals through walking and let them lead the troops to defend the city. However, there was a big deviation from history in terms of employment, such as Xu Chu, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhu Rong and other roles have become my subordinates, Gongsun Yue came to me to worship, and Xiao Qiao confessed to me. I felt the "new version" of the Three Kingdoms, and even I think the most interesting part of "Empire" is actually the Mandarin Duck Spectrum, fighting and killing and killing first.

Don't think that the area you call can be left alone, how many two or five boys there are under your hands is really difficult to say. Some public faces will think that players have no fighting spirit, governance is not good, and they will give up. This is actually quite good, if it is some warriors with heads and faces, from time to time the morale is burning, they will go out independently, disrupting the player's plan, which is very headache.

After a few days of playing, I finally divided the world with Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao, and then I deployed all my troops to directly attack Gongsun Zhan's prefecture and take half of the jiangshan in one fell swoop. When the emperor saw that I wanted to give way to me, Yuan Shao instigated me and wanted to make an alliance with me. Finally, in 199, I actually used Guan Yu to achieve unification, and Xiao Qiao gave birth to Guan Yu, which was a really interesting experience.

summary

The experience of "Empire" is still relatively different from this biography, this biography has been changed to an open world for innovation, and I did not expect that the lack of experience would ruin the reputation. "Empire" may be more suitable for the open world, but instead made a level system with only attack and defense. The combat system is quite variable, and it may be difficult for old players to adapt, but it is more acceptable to newcomers. Combat isn't the focus of Empire, and strategy-savvy players are better suited to play Empire. Interested friends can give it a try.
