On the seventh day of last month (December 7, 2021) KRAFTON original blue hole launched a top-down view shooter on Steam. When I saw the game introduction, the first thing that came to mind was a small game called Zombie Crisis that I played a long time ago when I was in elementary school, which was also a top-down view shooting game, that is, holding a gun to the enemy to burst out, the game screen could be said to be simple at the time, but with the friends, several people in the Internet café to open a machine, the same fun. But when I actually experienced Thunder One, I found that Thunder One is not a simple game that can pass the level with a gun at all, but it is a very hardcore strategy shooter.
The volume of the game is not large, but the rich content, excellent map details, rich weapons and equipment, seemingly single but actually changeable gameplay, all give players an immersive game experience, so that you can unconsciously play a level for a morning, in a number of fast-paced shooting games, Thunder One is definitely the most distinctive one.
Simple plot, detailed mission introduction
Like I said, the story of this game is very simple, the story is set in the 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, after entering the game, after a simple operation introduction and training, you will enter an elite special operations unit and be ordered to destroy a terrorist organization. Each level has its own mission introduction, a short introduction, but it includes the content and purpose of the mission, the map environment, etc., so that players can adjust the equipment according to the task and formulate tactics in advance, so it is not difficult to see that the main theme of this game is strategy. However, it is worth mentioning that the campaign mode because the game does not have Chinese dubbing, so the mission briefing is pure English pronunciation, students with poor English, it is more disadvantageous, such as the author of this rookie article, but fortunately, after the previous chapter is cleared, the latter chapter will automatically unlock, and players with bad English can view the Chinese version of the mission briefing from the single-player campaign.
Rich weapon system
As a hardcore tactical shooter game, the weapons and equipment must not be bad, thunder one equipped with weapon systems can be described as rich and detailed, each weapon and equipment has its own detailed characteristics of the introduction, players can freely choose their own and teammates' weapons / accessories / ammunition types and quantities / grenades / tools / sights / night vision / silencers, etc., in order to cope with the upcoming battle, in other words, players can freely choose what to carry to cope with the battle, The game gives players such a rich choice while limiting the maximum number of points, which inevitably requires players to make their own trade-offs, formulate their own tactics to select the equipment needed for the mission, and abandon useless equipment.
It is worth noting that the weight is too large to affect the character's travel speed, as well as noise; each weapon also has its own characteristics, requiring the player to choose the right gun according to their own situation; the cartridge does not occupy points but will occupy the equipment slot, so the amount of bullets carried by the player is limited, and each weapon has its own bullets, at the same time, if the cartridge is not finished, the unused cartridge will not be filled, so the bullet replacement cancer player needs to pay attention to, try not to burst in the game, try to shoot as much as possible to keep the bullets. Of course, players can also pick up enemy weapons, but pay attention to speed and timing, otherwise you will be like the author, often killed by the enemy when picking up bullets.
(The equipment inside the spit a little, this flashlight, you want to say it is useful, it has some effect, but you say it is useless, it seems to be really useless)
Maneuver your teammates flexibly
The game is a four-person team mode that requires multiplayer to cooperate with the game, so in the single-player model will be equipped with three AI teammates to assist the player to complete the battle, the game players can freely operate teammates to complete various commands, such as picking up the gun to help you see the ass, or cover the player to break through, the playability is very high, however, it is worth noting that the AI teammates are not very intelligent, if the player does not issue instructions, teammates will automatically surround the player, easy to disturb the enemy when lurking and unusually easy to kill, Playing to the end will often become a lone wolf, in this hardcore game there are more than a dozen enemies besieged, if you lack the support of teammates, even the playground mode, it will take a long time to pass, not necessarily to complete all the missions. Therefore, players should always pay attention to the cooperation with teammates, and try to ensure that teammates do not die violently.
Hardcore and free game mode
The game has a total of nine chapters, each chapter content is actually not much, the task is very simple, basically is to kill the enemy, and then retrieve the information or rescue the escort hostages, the game will not limit the player's route or completion method, all by the player free to play, the final task is even if the victory. But the task is simple, does not mean that the process is also as simple, a simple single chapter can let the player play for several hours, from the preparation stage of the task, the player will have to adjust the equipment according to the mission content and the map environment, etc., the realistic game setting also requires the player to consider the weight of the character, bullet stock, etc., the enemies in the game will not be as blind and deaf as Ubisoft's NPCs, and the noise emitted by the player will disturb the enemy and cause the infiltration failure. The rich and complex terrain allows players to rely on the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare, avoid a person facing a bunch of enemies, and realistically simulate all the problems that need to be faced in war, bringing players an immersive game experience.
For example, in the seventh chapter of the game, the player needs to dodge two rounds of mortars, resist multiple rounds of enemy attacks, and then pass through the artillery fire, find out the location of the mortars and destroy them, the player needs to command his teammates to rush to the designated location while dodging the shelling, the author is also in the battle completed in the repeated death reopening; for example, the task at night or in the bunker, the player can choose to confront the enemy head-on, or choose to put on the night vision goggles, turn off the lights or destroy the generator, and assassinate the enemy in the dark The rich equipment system free game mode brings players a variety of game methods, free design tactics, whether it is like to sneak in, or like to attack, or like to adapt to changes, Thunder One in the gameplay, can meet your various requirements.

epilogue
Thunder One is a hardcore game that pays attention to strategy and operation, which means that although the game is not large, it takes a lot of time to pass the level, and it took the author 17 hours to barely pass the level, of which there are two battles, and the people who protected it are also dead, of course, it may also be because the author is too dish.
Of course, this game is not all advantages, he gave the workshop, but the content of the workshop is countless, and does not give experience after joining the mod; the multiplayer mode is also difficult to say, first the link is not on the server, and then it starts to drop from time to time, when you can finally play normally, the player who opens the plug-in begins to appear, and the game seems to have no mechanism to prevent plug-ins; although the weapons are rich, the range of the weapon is very mysterious, the range of the pistol is similar to the sniper rifle, and the gun cannot hit the enemy beyond the field of vision. These are the problems existing in the game at this stage, and I hope that the production team can solve them as soon as possible.
Thunder One as a top-down view of the strategic shooter, very good, is the best of the same kind of games, but the game level is too few, the experience still needs to be optimized, and if the content of the post-creative workshop can come up, it will bring a great improvement to the game, if you like more hardcore strategy shooter friends, then buy it is not wrong.
