In the last issue, some netizens reminded that when "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4" was launched, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had not yet landed in Japan, however, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was released in Chinese mainland in 1994, and the following year, Japan's NHK Television bought the copyright and began to be released in Japan on April 5, although the first version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4" was launched in 1994, but then launched a number of versions, and during the period of popular Romance in Japan, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4" is indeed the best Three Kingdoms game that Japanese players can find So there is nothing wrong with saying that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4" rubbed the heat of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, not only "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4", but also "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5". After the success of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4", in 1997, the sequel to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" was launched, at this time the Japanese Three Kingdoms boom was still there, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" continued to advance with this east wind, and in the PS version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5", Glory also added a clip of the TV series.
Don't look carefully, as long as you have seen the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you will find that the cover characters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" are all from TV series, and Bao Guoan's Boss Cao and Chen Hong's mink cicada are too recognizable.
Like the fourth generation, the internal affairs system of the fifth generation is also relatively simple, as long as the player provides funds and arranges for the appointment of the official, the rest is completely irrelevant, so that even if the player has multiple cities in the later stage, it is not very troublesome to manage.
Of course, the time saved by the player is not nothing to do, although the game simplifies the internal affairs system, but in the training of military generals, diplomatic strategy and other aspects are still relatively rich, the excess instruction book can be used to cultivate the loyalty of military generals, arrange for them to go out to practice and study, run to other camps to win over the enemy generals, so that the famous generals of the three countries all gather under their own hands, and they will surrender their armor to surrender.
In terms of combat, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5 abandons the traditional class setting and pioneers the concept of formations, which will give different attribute bonuses to troops.
For example, the cone array, the formation has a strong mobility ability, suitable for flat ground, the player can use the formation's machine power to detour back to the enemy to launch an attack; the goose array, the formation strengthens the troops' bow and arrow attack capabilities, but the melee ability is weak, need to keep a distance from the enemy; the square circle array, the defensive formation, although the lack of mobility and damage, but with other attacks and defenses less than the formation can play the effect of 1 + 1 greater than 2 ...
These formations not only have different attribute bonuses, but also have flat land, mountain, and water types, and as many as 12 formations suitable for different occasions, which greatly enhances the depth of the game's combat gameplay, and this classic design has been continued to the latest "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14".
In addition to basic internal and military affairs, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5 has several unique settings. The first is the human morality system, the player plays the role of monarch, if you do good things, then human morality will rise, and bad people will decline.
The "good things" here include, but are not limited to, recruiting prisoners of war, dealing with disasters, etc., while the "bad things" are killing prisoners of war, ignoring disasters, conscripting and plundering, and so on.
Human morality is not just a false name, it also affects the number of times the player can act each month, and then the number of actions that can be taken each month. 0 ~ 300 is 3 times, 301 ~ 999 is added once every hundred, 1000 is 10 times, and the number of actions will affect the development efficiency of the camp, which is also the game encouraging players to be a benevolent monarch like Liu Bei.
Another unique setting is that the game adds some spells that affect the balance and immortals who can use spells.
In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a magic magic method, and when zhang jiaoshi of the Yellow Turban Army, Chengnan Hua Laoxian, Liu Bei and others fought against the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Bao used the demon method to summon wild winds and lightning, and finally used animal blood to destroy it.
There are many more characters full of feudal superstitions such as Zhang Jiao, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and even Zhuge Liang will have some spells, due to the background of the times, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has deleted these contents, and Yu Ji has also changed from a master who can really curse the art to a demon who can only deceive the public.
The glorious "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was developed according to the novel, and there was no hard and fast requirement of anti-feudal superstition, so in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5", Glory made the powerful immortals in the novel into the game, and also gave them attribute skills far beyond ordinary people.
The existence of these immortals and immortals greatly affects the balance of the game, but it also enriches the fun of the game and reduces the difficulty of the game.
In addition to the gameplay, the most amazing thing is the musical level of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5". Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5 was the first Romance of the Three Kingdoms to appear on PS1, and it was also the first time that a CD source was used as a carrier, while Glory also invited composer Hattori Takayuki to compose music for the game.
At the beginning of the game, a magnificent and epic "Brilliant Dragon" opened the prelude to the Three Kingdoms of Chaos; when the game season changed, the melodious "Fangchun" showed the player a scene of spring returning to the earth and the recovery of all things; Liu Bei marched, the prelude was high and upward, the middle section was slightly desolate, and the ending was again exciting, so that the righteousness and tragedy of the Shu Kingdom jumped on the paper; at the end of the game, a gentle tune of "The Feast of Cuihua" ended the dispute between the three kingdoms...
Yun Youji is just an ordinary player, and cannot make too much judgment on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" from the perspective of music appreciation, but the emotions expressed in the music can be felt without knowing too much music theory, at least when these musics sound, Yun Youji's mind will indeed appear a vivid face.
Described in this way alone, netizens who have not played "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" may not appreciate the excellence of music, it does not matter, because you must have heard - Chen Xiaochun's version of "Deer Ding" used a lot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" music, Kangxi visited John Tang this section used the game's OP "Brilliant Dragon", TVB's "Tianlong Eight Parts" also used.
Needless to say how powerful tvb was in the 1990s, in addition to the content, the music is also a classic, as a game soundtrack, can be selected by these excellent Hong Kong dramas, which shows how good the music of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" is.
Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" has many advantages, it is not perfect, and the more disgusting thing about the body is that the current generation's judgment of the success rate of poaching is too loose.
The loyalty of the game warriors is a full score of one hundred, generally speaking, more than ninety is already very high, but as long as the loyalty of the warriors is not satisfied, the computer can easily poach your subordinates. When Yun Youji first started playing, she encountered a situation where only a few months after the start, several highly capable martial artists under her command collectively jumped ship and instantly changed into a light rod commander.
The rebellious Dong Zhuo also had Niu Fu, Li Dai, Guo Feng, and Cai Yong, who collected the body for him, and the charm of the player was not even as good as Dong Zhuo, which was really a bit excessive.
Of course, the same is true for computers, as long as the player has a relatively high loyalty of the political IQ of the character, it is easy to quickly get a group of powerful warriors from the computer in the early stage, but this extreme design Yun Youji feels that it is not very reasonable.
end
In general, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5" is a generation with very high evaluation in the series, and in terms of gameplay, on the basis of the previous games, there are some innovations in all aspects, such as the more classic design of the column biography and the formation, which has also been passed down, and the sequels of the game's music generations are unparalleled.
Of course, the glorious Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a very big feature, that is, each generation does not look like a sequel. The game is not simply based on the previous generation to do addition, sometimes even directly to zero, directly engaged in a completely different set of gameplay.
