When you think of placement games, what comes to mind?
The hang-up runs automatically, and the player only needs to perform a few simple operations, and finally harvest the growth of the value or the advancement of the plot, which is the placement of the game.
If you're going to ask what's the point of playing this kind of game, for example, it's like "opening a blind box", without too many complicated operations and gaining the joy of unlocking the unknown.
(The game can be played, the blind box or try not to get into the pit)
And today we are going to talk about a placement indie game "Adventure Diary".
Game pros
If you take out this game alone, although there are many places to be remarkable, the overall feeling can only be said half, like the kind of small game that has been played once and then lazy to open.
However, if you compare the current environment of the entire mobile game, the "Adventure Diary" under the "peer background" can be said to be of the highest quality.
Although Uncle Monster hopes that there will be more games with near-perfect quality like "Isaac's Combination", from the perspective of mobile game platforms, the birth of such a conscience work as "Adventure Diary" is not easy;
Moreover, this is still a "hand-to-hand" game.
Even if you ignore the above content, the completion of the game is enough to surprise people;
Games like Seven Days kill that we mentioned in previous issues, or Cairo games that also do pixel games and have been famous for a long time, have more or less BUG problems.
And I was very fluent in the three weeks of Adventure Diary, and I didn't encounter any problems such as flashbacks, BGU, and bad files.
Personally, I think that instead of writing dozens of G's BUGs, it is better to polish 42.7MB to perfection. (Potato cannery learning point)
Gameplay introduction
The Adventure Diary demo currently has three modes, namely "Chapter Mode", "Endless Ranking", and "Purgatory Ranking".
The basic "Chapter Mode" allows you to choose from 8 classes, each with different basic attributes and skills;
After choosing a class, players can also choose one of 8 races to match their class characteristics.
After all the selections are completed, the game officially begins;
In the official battle interface, players can see their own health, mana, stamina, strength, mana, luck and other attributes, as well as consumables, crafting, equipment, only buttons, as well as currently owned resources, kill value, good and evil value, etc.
The way to play is simple, just click the dice in the middle to move to the next stage, and the game will show what happened at this time in the lower blank space.
Events in the next phase usually occur randomly, with the player encountering monsters, chests, adventures, traps, merchants, etc.; after encountering monsters, they need to choose to continue to roll the dice to fight or escape.
During the battle, there are seven results you can get after rolling the dice, in addition to the numbers from 1 to 6, there is also a skeleton symbol and a star symbol, after many tests, the skeleton symbol may represent MISS, and the star symbol represents the "heart strike".
Different numbers will deal different damage to monsters, and the higher the dice points, the higher the damage.
At present, the game is divided into 5 chapters (5 layers), each with different scenes and monsters, as well as special plots.
Players can collect special equipment and items for transfer (not yet successful).
It should be noted that novices are advised to choose "Skeleton" when choosing a race, because the stamina setting in the game is "when the stamina value is 0, the character's health will be directly emptied".
Overall
I think this game perfectly explains what is called "although the sparrow is small, it is complete";
Just the Demo version, Adventure Diary shows a lot of game content, and the game's mechanics and gameplay are simple and easy to understand, and the operation only needs to be a little bit.
If Uncle Monster had to make a list of unmissable mobile games in 2022, then Adventure Diary would definitely be in the top three.
