Similar to the fame paths of games such as "Synthetic Watermelon", "Life Simulator" and "Summoning Dragon Game", a game called "Fierce Ghost Dormitory" also relies on short videos and Internet traffic to go from unknown to soaring almost overnight.
This tower defense mini-game launched by the Honey Badger Workshop, in the end, poked the players' excitement points, can it cause such a sensation at once?
The first is the genre advantage of the game, that is, the charm of the "tower defense game" itself.
Ghost Quarters has all the cult elements of a classic tower defense. Players upgrade their basic production facilities in their positions, and use the resources they produce to build weapons and armor, as well as build more functional production facilities, so as to enhance the power of their fortress and resist foreign enemies.
However, if this is the case, it will not be a big fire, after all, there are not a few excellent tower defense games on the market today.
Therefore, in Ah Box's view, the reason for the explosion of "Fierce Ghost Dormitory" is also one point - the tricky theme.
Tower defense games are already focused on the layout of the race against the clock, which will bring people a certain degree of concentration and tension, and coupled with the "horror theme", it is even more powerful.
According to the publicity PV released by the developer, the prototype of the "fierce ghost" in the game is from the housekeeper aunt in the dormitory. Although this explanation is very much in line with our core values of socialism, the sense of terror has not diminished at all.
Ah Box has tirelessly introduced to his friends that in the "horror" theme, different distances bring about a completely different fear index.
Being close at hand is bound to be more frightening than being far away, and this "closeness" is not only "close" in the physiological sense, but also "close" in the psychological sense.
Physiologically "near", then physical attack. The attack method of the "fierce ghost" in the game uses physical attacks, and the action of "constantly approaching you" itself gives people a strong sense of fear, and actions such as "scratching", "scratching" and "smashing doors" also give people a certain sense of madness and terror.
The psychological sense of "near" is the sense of substitution. Why do we play "Defend the Turnip", only feel cute, the spirit is not too nervous, and when we fail, we will not be scared "heart stopped"? The answer is simple, because we are not turnips.
In the same way, why "Ghost Dorm" can make you feel so strong and mentally tense - that's because we really have a dormitory!
One of the very interesting things about the game is that we can see in the frame how our other roommates fend off the "fierce ghost" (dying struggle).
However, it should be noted that you can't watch the drama too much, or always pay attention to improving the resilience of your room, after all, the next one may be your turn.
Overall, this game is currently more attractive or his tower defense mode, the gameplay composition is relatively simple, friends can basically play by hand; plus the combination of campus horror themes, enough attractive and exciting. It's not surprising that it became popular.
However, there are not many people who are popular, and the game is the same. While this game has just received traffic heat, it has also brought controversy. Many players believe that the gameplay of this game is completely copied from the multiplayer RPG custom map [Trolls and Sprites] based on the Warcraft 3 game, and have made sharp criticisms.
| the map is divided into two opposing systems, elves and trolls, with elves mainly defensive and trolls mainly attacking.
Of course, this criticism has a certain rationality, but we also know that in the process of the game industry moving forward, there are inevitably cases of borrowing from classic games in the past, and it is difficult to completely determine plagiarism.
As long as you can create your own new content based on the classics, it will not hurt. At present, the demo of "Ghost Dorm" has not yet been made, so the game content that small partners can experience is relatively simple, and the high overlap rate of gameplay is understandable.
According to the plan revealed by the developer, it is also possible to join the day and night mode in the follow-up, develop self-propelled chess elimination, multi-person cooperative play, etc., and launch a fierce ghost perspective and asymmetric confrontation gameplay will also be put on the agenda. Whether this game is short-lived or rising, depends on the specific content of the game's future launch
At present, "Fierce Ghost Dormitory" has opened reservations in the 4399 game box, interested partners can go to pay attention to a wave, I believe that soon you will be able to experience the Demo version! Friends can also predict in the comment area, what do you think the development prospects of this game are? ~
