sequence
The natural vision, the snow that flies in July, does not melt, is for the warm snow; the emperor is in charge, the people do not talk about life, and the adultery is for the sake of damnation.
One man and one sword, walking in the rivers and lakes, this may be the dream of many boys when they are young, and "Warm Snow" has designed such a story. As a meat pigeon game, it does not have a complete linear plot like traditional role-playing, at the beginning it just gave a general direction to find the truth behind the vision of the heavenly fall, the main outline and context of the story need to be slowly unlocked with the drops in the game, it sounds like a work that takes a lot of time to go to the liver (in fact, it does need the liver), but fortunately the fragmented story description in the game is very good, and it also has a lot of new and interesting skill sets and a good sense of blows. This makes the usual boring game of meat pigeons very interesting.
Three-dimensional gameplay – interconnected side stories
"Warm Snow" has two main parts in terms of plot: the main plot and the side story. Among them, the main line plot with the progress of the game, the monster will drop different letterheads to unlock a small plot, the main line performance is more mediocre: the Dragon Emperor who overthrew the rule of the Snake Emperor was infiltrated by evil, together with the four major families of fish and meat people, the chivalrous "must choose" to eradicate the adulterer, can only be regarded as an old-fashioned chivalrous story, the only bright spot is that the game sets up two endings of true and false, in the false ending the boss lady will leave a suspense, the real ending is more satisfactory. Compared with the more mediocre main line plot, the small story on the branch line has a lot of novelty, the side plot fragments are generally dropped by passers-by NPCs, interestingly, a complete side story is often composed of 2-3 drops, and the probability of a game will not be brushed out at the same time, for example, I first picked up a deformed nest head on a dead corpse, and then thought that the NPC was frozen in the ice and snow before it could eat, thinking that it was just describing the hardships of the people under tyranny , but after killing a little boy in another game, a note dropped, to the effect that the mother went out to find food, let the boy take care of his sister, and suddenly connected with the previous nest head, while lamenting the mother's love, he instantly felt that there was a connection between one game and another game (the meat pigeon game often connected the story between the innings, for example, the death of a specific boss in the previous game in Hades would be manifested in the resurrection and the dialogue of the boss in the next game), The multi-game game that was originally a parallel line was synthesized into a three-dimensional world with flesh and blood, and the rich drop collection gameplay also reduced the boring of repeated brushing resources.
Random gameplay - a multitude of genres brought about by a rich skill set
Mention the pre-phenomenon meat pigeon game "Hades", the most discussed should be the different genres brought by different weapons, such as the poison bow of the Dionysian system, the knife of the God of Hunting, and the difference with "Hades", the weapon of "Warm Snow" has only one kind - sword (weapons such as swords and staffs will be dropped in the game, but the attack system is the same as the sword, so it is equivalent to one here), but the same is that there are also rich attack schools in "Warm Snow". There are two main types of attacks in the sword in "Warm Snow", melee general attack and long-range flying sword attack, and their different genres are often reflected in long-range flying sword attacks. At the beginning of a game, you can choose different Buddha statues, in fact, you can choose different long-range attacks, such as replacing the flying sword with a gourd that sprays wine, or attaching a lightning attribute, and the choice of Buddha statue basically determines the growth route of this game. In addition, the game will drop holy relics, weapons (quality and attribute differences) and door skills, of which the holy relics can be equipped in different holy relic slots to provide different effects including recovery, shield, elemental damage, etc., weapons mainly provide attack speed, damage and other bonuses and some special effects, door school skills bring a variety of (DE) buff effects, through the combination of these things can form a variety of genres, take the immeasurable sword zun, one of the long-range effects can be combined with the weapon [Taizu] a single skill + 5% damage, no brain damage to the flying sword, you can do a one-hit second kill, and another ranged effect ten thousand swords with the weapon [Sudden Rain] cancel the sword heat value, and then by stacking ranged damage, you can have an infinite sword system that provides stable damage. Rich genres should be an important factor for the meat pigeon game to be loved by players, although the main boss and the main story are basically the same, but the different genres combined through various effects can bring about different experiences, and the thousand changes that can be composed of all kinds of holy relics and massive divine soldiers in "Warm Snow" are also its charm, this charm is like the "Civilization" series can play from ten o'clock to nine o'clock, which once made me forget the time, from night to early morning.
Refreshing gameplay – great punching
If a rich genre of combat is an indispensable factor in a good meat pigeon game, then a good sense of blow is a must have in all good action games. The sense of percussion is popularly speaking, the game gives the player a sensory feedback, and the shaping of the picture and sound determines the advantages and disadvantages of the sense of percussion. The screen of "Warm Snow" adopts a more gloomy dark style, which fits the background of the story of the dimwitted king very well, allowing the player to immerse themselves in the oppressive environment created; the attack feedback is also good, the full screen damage numbers that flutter out during the attack, while the sound of the flying sword breaking, the chopping sound of the attack hit, the timely vibration of the handle can make people feel that it is indeed "hit"; the realization of the coherence of the action is also very good, and the coherence of the action directly affects the attack rhythm, which is also the meat pigeon game's "Hit"; the same as the meat pigeon game "Death Cell" in the rhythm is very good to grasp (personally think that in the rhythm is more than Hades's), after the displacement basically no displacement punishment, can directly take over the next operation, as the positioning is usually a cool swimming pigeon, rolling attack or attack dodge rhythm often determines whether you can play cool enough, "Warm Snow" A set of consecutive moves of the front and back shake are extremely short, the last blow of the melee general attack also has a flying effect, playing control can avoid the hard straightness brought by the monster, at the cost of sacrificing part of the difficulty, The sense of rhythm is greatly enhanced (after all, the meat pigeon wants unparalleled happiness rather than soul-like suffering). In terms of my experience, the various feedbacks given by "Warm Snow" to players are very timely, the sense of blow is great, and it can bring the refreshing of "fist" to meat.
It's not a perfect game – there are still bugs and other drawbacks
On the first day of the official release of the game, there were more bugs, which seriously affected the experience of the loss of archives, the currently released patch repair is not repeated, basically does not affect the experience of the void killing omen: after entering the ominous room without activating the omen can kill the monster through close attack, for a newly released new game, the existence of bugs is inevitable, for players the most needed is that the developer can fix the bug in time, fortunately, for the bug that affects the game experience, "Warm Snow" The next day a fix was released. In addition, the content (or BOSS) that can be played at present in this game is relatively short, even if the game sets a variety of different difficulties, but the skills of the BOSS have not changed much, and the backboard can be skilled after a few passes, and then it is an unfulfilled regret. Meat pigeon game because it can stack a large number of buffs, it is easy to superimpose the damage to the amount of a hit must kill, at first glance it sounds like opening and hanging, but in fact, the sense of blow after a hit can be said to have dropped to the bottom, in "Warm Snow", if the previous daily genre is superimposed, it can even do the second kill BOSS (there is a video that stacks the single damage of the whole day to 290,000, and the initial daily damage is about 100), like this is basically equivalent to the plug-in of the brainless flat push is easy to make the player feel bored.
In general, the meat pigeon elements of "Warm Snow" are extremely rich, coupled with a good small plot and a sense of blow, even if you put aside the domestic aura of a large number of national style themes in the game, it is enough to be called a wonderful and outstanding work, and the explosion behind the release is not only because of the overwhelming publicity, but more importantly, the game's excellent own quality, for players who love the meat pigeon type, "Warm Snow" is a meat pigeon masterpiece that cannot be missed.
Later, I will briefly write a novice guide to "Warm Snow".
