If you ask the most influential game now, Tencent's glory of the king must be on the list.
In October 2015, the glory of the king turned out, imitating LOL's horizontal moba mobile game, at that time there were not many heroes, the old Arthur, Xiao Daji were familiar characters for every player. In 2018, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 1 million, becoming the first MOBA mobile game in the world, with an average daily active event of 100 million in 2020. It can be seen that its powerful attraction is incomparable even to the peaceful elite.
For the post-95s and post-00s, the king seems to occupy their vision, and some people think, is the game of the glory of the king better than the legend of the peak period?
The legend appeared in 2001, 14 years before the king, and this fantasy online game developed by Entertainment Virtue suddenly became popular after it was introduced to China. Internet cafes in the streets and alleys can see players with legendary pages at any time, according to the data of 800,000 netizens in China at that time, one in every 6 people has played legend.
From this point of view, the legendary market share is higher than the glory of the king. Admittedly, the popularity of both is related to the background of their times. King of Glory was launched in 2015, when it was the peak of the development of 4G Internet and smart phones, coupled with the popularity of LOL and the simple mechanism and rhythm of the game itself, circled many players; and legend also relied on the popularity of personal PC terminals and Internet cafes, coupled with excellent social systems and unique gameplay modes, firmly tied to a large number of loyal fans.
The two games have their own advantages, but in terms of length of time, the king is obviously not as influential as the legendary IP, first of all, the king's players are mainly young groups, and even minors, and the viscosity of the game is not high; and the legend has a large number of players after 85 and 90, with a high level of consumption and a stronger kryptonite ability for the game. Secondly, the legendary player's fanaticism for legends is unmatched by the king players.
If you compare the peak period of the two, it seems that each has its own advantages, such as legendary players can fight with their parents and teachers in order to play legends, and king players have the constraints of the minor protection system.
Another more intuitive performance is that the legendary IP has extensibility and depth, not only deliberately launched peripheral, cultural creation, and books and comics and other products, but also on the basis of the original continuous update, such as now the legend has launched the legend 4, and has a unique online game status in the world; and the king does not appear with the same IP extension, but in a game to change different versions. Of course, the competitive legend of the king is incomparable.
As the leaders of different eras, both take advantage of the development of the times to a certain extent, after all, it is now the world of mobile Internet, and the competitiveness and popularity of PC games are difficult to compete.
No matter what kind of game, it can stand the test of time is an excellent work
