In turn-based RPGs, elements such as skills, spell strength, and resistance are often topics that players discuss over and over again. These elements directly determine the intensity of the protagonists we control, but there is actually one major element that has been overlooked by players, that is, the teaming mechanism.
The reason why teaming is overlooked is because the turn-based RPG games that ordinary players come into contact with are more mobile games. In the context of the expansion of modern mobile game values, the selection of the team is actually not so important, after all, who to choose is a one-shot kill, and what reason is too careful about the team.
However, under the turn-based game of single-player, there are still many classic works that emphasize the teaming mechanism and partner training, of course, it belongs to the PS2 masterpiece "True Goddess Rebirth 3" released in 2004. The plot of True Goddess Rebirth 3 is obscure and difficult, and players will play as the unnamed protagonist to explore the truth in the world of Tokyo's womb where humans coexist. In True Goddess Rebirth 3, although players do not have other human companions to fight together, they can constantly collect demons as their companions through battles, negotiations, and so on. Demons have different ranks and characteristics, and there is still a restrained relationship between demons and demons. Coupled with the dark thunder method of encountering an enemy step by step, the player must carefully select the demon companion to survive in this chaotic world.
Once the player fails to figure out the restrained relationship between the demon and the demon itself and the skill, it is very likely that they will lose everything. There is also a demon synthesis function in the game, players can refer to the crafting strategy table of this game, through the synthesis of demons and demons to create more skilled and stronger demon partners, to minimize the possibility of losing the game. It can be said that True Goddess Rebirth 3 fully understands and promotes the function of the element of team cooperation in turn-based RPGs. In the RPG works of the developer ATLUS in the future, we can also see the emphasis on the bondage of teaming.
Although the turn-based games in the console market still have such examples as "True Goddess Rebirth" and "Persona" that emphasize the necessity of cooperative teaming, it does not mean that the turn-based category of modern games, especially modern mobile games, lacks representatives that emphasize team cooperation. "Dream World 3 Mobile Game Edition" may be one of the typical representatives. The game places special emphasis on teaming up and even making partners specialized in gameplay. As the player rises in level, they can unlock more powerful partners with the silver they have accumulated.
The attributes and emphasis of these partners are different. For example, the level 13 unlocked Xianyi is good at physical attacks, and the higher physical penetration brings him a very strong single physical explosion; while Liu Feiyan focuses on assistance and has a good physical strength; Lin Xuan, although he is as physically focused as Xianyi, is better at group physical attack and physical defense than Xianyi. Later in life, players will also unlock a series of companions whose output is centered on spells and seals. How to prescribe the right medicine, choose the right partner in front of different enemies, and ensure that the core output means are effective for the enemy will be the signal that the partner system of Dream World 3 Mobile Game Edition tries to convey to the player.
