Stone Age
Beta: January 2001
If you are an old player, you should be familiar with Stone Age, after all, this game is the hottest online game in the Chinese market before Legends (there is no one)!
As the first Japanese online game in history to be introduced, "Stone Age" opened the era of "turn-based" online games in China. The new team, pet, exploration, PK gameplay is the first love that many players still can't forget, the unique stone tool background and the elaborate dinosaur pet setting, which is also remarkable today.
Although there is competition from the three Korean online game giants of "Millennium", "Red Moon" and "Dragon Clan", thanks to the user base laid by the early Japanese stand-alone machine, Japanese painting style, turn-based and other elements have made "Stone Age" gain a large number of users, with nearly a quarter of the market share, becoming China's first online game.
Unfortunately, at that time, plug-ins were rampant, and it was too late for the official to realize the badness of plug-ins and intend to rectify plug-ins. At that time, the entire Stone Age was in a state where everyone was plugged in, and the cure for plug-ins would only make the game called ghost clothes. Coupled with the appearance of "Legend" in the later period, copyright disputes and many other problems, "Stone Age" was officially discontinued in 2008.
After that, the agent was replaced by Jinshan, but the good times were not long, and Jinshan was soon replaced. It wasn't until 2013 that Shengsi became the new agent of Stone Age, bringing the game back to life! However, after all, feelings are not omnipotent, and finally on April 8, 2016, a generation of legendary online games "Stone Age" was announced!
Magic Baby
Beta: January 2002
Magic Baby is a Q version of the turn-based role-playing computer client game developed by ENIX (not yet merged with SQUARE at the time, not called SQUARE ENIX), and for old players, Magic Baby is definitely one of the most memorable memories of childhood.
The game is set in an era of swords and magic, and the player, as the protagonist of the plot, starts as a classless wanderer to choose his favorite profession, travels through the past, present and future time and space, and personally participates in all major historical events.
With its first-class art, Japanese RPG delicate drawing style, and strong DQ atmosphere, "Magic Baby" has been loved by players since it came out. Since march 2002, when the game was officially charged, the number of players online has reached a new high, and by the beginning of 2003, the number of registered users reached 10 million.
Regardless of the art style and market environment, what really attracts players to Magic Baby is the exquisite game system. In terms of class settings, the game has up to 17 combat classes, 24 production classes, and 3 collection classes. This is also the first online game in China to have production and collection gameplay, and "Magic Baby" will also take this to the extreme.
Equipment in the player's late stages cannot be purchased through the Shop or dropped by monsters, but can only be produced through production classes. If a class wants to be equipped, it must be matched with at least 5 production classes. This setting forces the interaction experience between players, and the stickiness between people is particularly strong.
Unlike the "Legends" players because of the explosive equipment, PK, etc. generated by the fierceness, "Magic Baby" emphasizes the cooperation between players, and the setting has long been a truly harmonious and mutually helpful player community. And the official crackdown on plug-ins, making "Magic Baby" one of the few green games of the year.
At present, Taiwan Service has launched a nostalgic version called "Magic Baby: Eternal Initial Heart", and the server was once crowded, and it set off a boom in the player circle. If there are players who want to look back, they may wish to go to the nostalgic version and find the memories of that year.
Journey to the West
Beta: December 2003
If it comes to turn-based games, then the first thing that jumps out of many people's minds must be "Fantasy Journey to the West", then as a classic terminal game that has been active for 19 years, it appeared earlier than "World of Warcraft", and in the year of its birth, NetEase's Ding Lei became the top of the "Hurun Edition 2003 Chinese mainland Rich List" with its games, and here absolutely "Fantasy Westward Journey" is a great contributor.
In the past ten years, "Fantasy Journey to the West" has launched more than twenty classic expansion packs, and with stable updates, "Fantasy Journey to the West" has maintained a very active user group, and is still famous on the PC global revenue rankings. "Fantasy Journey to the West" is undoubtedly the set of turn-based in the golden decade of the development of domestic original online games.
What's so great about it? First of all, as one of the forerunners of the turn-based system, the original door school and skills have laid a good foundation for many subsequent turn-based systems, such as the signature skills of the Tang Dynasty Official's Palace sweeping thousands of armies, I believe that similar skills must have been seen in many games.
In addition, a variety of cute pet babies are also the key to attracting players, especially some female players, where can they move their eyes when they see these cute pets?
Who doesn't love pink super bubbles?
But the most powerful thing about "Fantasy Journey to the West" is not these, but its stable economic system, the end game does not control prices like mobile games, but the entire server price is very stable. The official platform of "Treasure Cabinet" has activated the circulation of virtual items in the game and also controlled the inflation of the game currency... In 2004, there were 1.2 million point cards, and now there are 1.6 million point cards. Inflation control does better than line X. It is no exaggeration to say that even if you don't play "Fantasy Journey to the West" for a few years, the equipment on your body will not necessarily depreciate a lot, and even if you return to the pit, you can continue to play.
"Fantasy Journey to the West" launched its own mobile game version in 15 years, since then the best-seller list of resident IOS, as a mobile game that has been launched for seven years, can get the top 3 position of mobile games in 2021, second only to "Glory of the King" and "Peace Elite", which shows that the IP of "Fantasy Westward Journey" has a strong ability to earn gold.
Journey to the West
The earliest public beta of the series: December 2001
Since talking about "Fantasy Journey to the West", then "Journey to the West" is naturally also a topic that cannot be escaped, and unlike "Journey to the West", the "Journey to the West" series is earlier, according to the failed "Journey to the West 1", "Journey to the West" has already emerged in 2001, 123 Three generations of different versions Each version has its own characteristics, but also carries the youth of a generation.
There is also a very interesting setting in "Journey to the West", that is, brush skill proficiency, and the level of skills in other games is generally improved through experience or money, which can be directly upgraded. And in the Dahua WestWard Journey is different, you need to constantly release this skill, each release will increase the proficiency, proficiency can improve the skill, have you ever remembered, in the map crazy brush skill point to hand pain days?
Of course, in line with the trend of mobile games, "Journey to the West" naturally launched its own mobile game version, although there is no way to match his classmate "Fantasy Journey to the West", but in the 2021 flow ranking also ranked 11th, had to get, NetEase to do turn-based is really 8 wrong ~
"Asking"
Beta: April 2006
A turn-based game with the same age as fantasy and big talk also has a "Ask". It also occupies the youth of a large number of turn-based players.
In 2006, the free-of-point card game driven by Journey had just begun to take off. It was at this time that "Ask" developed by Gigabit and operated by Guangyu Games, as the first free turn-based game, became very popular after the public beta, once reaching 1 million people online at the same time, becoming the first game outside NetEase to be able to get a turn-based cake. This also declares that China's turn-based games have officially entered the era of free-to-play.
There are also some interesting systems in "Asking Questions", the first one is the Daoxing system, the higher the Daoxing has the higher the "resistance", and the Daoxing system of "Daodao" affects the success rate of casting obstacle spells. The higher the character's path, the lower the success rate of the enemy when you use the obstacle skill, and you can output more confidently without being hindered. Similarly, the higher the success rate of an obstacle against an enemy, the safer your team will be and the faster you can kill your enemy. Therefore, the Daoxing system is also an important factor in the lower level of the "Question".
In addition, there are five element systems in the game, such as in terms of buffs, the gold phase performance increases spell damage, the wood phase performance increases the qi and blood value, the fire phase can increase the speed, the water phase has a lot of defense bonuses, and the earth phase mainly improves the physical attack and dodge effect. In addition to these basic buffs, other bonuses come from the five elements of equipment, equipment and attributes are not corresponding, such as wooden characters can wear water system equipment, so that they will be stronger in defense, and have the advantages of their own wood system, making the combination of the game diverse and interesting.
And after the transformation of "Q Dao" into a mobile game, it performed well. According to Qimai data, the game quickly climbed to the second place in the iOS best-seller list after its launch. Recently, the "Q Dao" mobile game and the end game are about to open their own anniversaries on April 22, when a large number of gifts and opening activities will be given, and those who were once "Q&A" veteran players must not miss it
"Water Margin Q Biography"
Beta: September 2006
The king of domestic turn-based online games is undoubtedly NetEase's "Fantasy Journey to the West". In 2006, there was actually a turn-based online game that almost overturned "Fantasy Journey to the West", and even let NetEase Email prohibit the acceptance of the game's registration email, which is "Water Margin Q" represented by Kingsoft.
Due to the success of Journey to the West and Fantasy Journey to the West, a large number of turn-based online games have emerged in the game market in those years, such as Q.A. we mentioned above.
In the face of such a hot market, other domestic game manufacturers will certainly not ignore it. Kingsoft has operated the turn-based online game "Water Margin Q Legend" developed by Flint and developed on the basis of "Water Margin". It is said that the CEO of the developer Flintstone at that time directly threatened to "dry up" "Fantasy Journey to the West" at the game conference. Lei Jun also once said that "Water Margin Q Legend" is the best turn-based online game, the final version of the 2D turn-based online game.
In fact, the performance of "Water Margin Q Legend" did not disappoint, the game with good quality and excellent publicity, soon attracted a large number of players, only one month of public beta, the number of players online at the same time exceeded 200,000. After three years of operation, the cumulative number of players has reached as many as 30 million.
Unfortunately, this work, which was supposed to be able to open up with "Fantasy Journey to the West", eventually disappeared into the history of the game due to agency problems. Because the developer of "Water Margin Q Biography" Flint was very dissatisfied that most of the game's profits fell into Kingsoft's pocket, he decided to transfer the agency rights to Sohu agent after the expiration of the agency contract with Kingsoft. However, this decision was not notified to the Kanayama side, and eventually the contradiction between the three parties led to a rapid weakening of the game's popularity and eventual coolness.
Dream World
Beta: September 2007
Many people may not have heard of this game, but in fact, it is a turn-based terminal game launched by Toyo's network in 2007, and it has been 15 years since then. Unlike most end games, Dream World does not have a door set, but instead has a warrior, mage, warlock setting, does it sound like a legend?
But "Dream World" has played a different trick, first of all, the skills in the game have restraint system, dexterity, rivalry, ordinary three departments, mutual restraint. In addition, weapons switching in battle has been introduced, and fighters can learn the skills of the deputy to switch, and you don't know whether you are facing a gunfight or a boxing battle when fighting
In addition, the comprehension system in Dream World is also very interesting, players can learn multiple skills and equip, unlike traditional fixed skills, and these skills are obtained through comprehension (of course, there are other means), so when playing Dream World, the sudden jump of understanding is not to mention how happy it is!
"Dream World" has also launched its own mobile game, and there are two versions of ordinary and 3D, but it is not as popular as NetEase, if you like these characteristics of the players can try it.
"Dream Immortals"
Beta: October 2009
In 2009, Perfect World launched its first turn-based game, Fantasy Immortal, after the success of 3D real-time games such as "Perfect World" and "Immortals". Although "Fantasy Immortal" adopts 2D graphics, the innovative introduction of the concept of "flight" and the level of art are basically the ceiling of the turn-based game market at that time.
Backed by the strong research and development capabilities of perfect time and space, "Dream Immortal" was a hit after the public beta in 2009, once reaching 700,000 people online at the same time, shocking the entire market.
At this point in 2009, when "Dream Immortal" successfully sensationalized the market, no one would have thought that a sudden accident would make this product directly cut off. As a direct result, the number of people online was almost cut off, and since then it has been in a slump.
However, perfection is not dead hearted. "Dream Immortal" was later renamed "Dream Immortal 2" and re-launched. Subsequent mobile games have also launched the "Dream Immortal" mobile game and the "Dream New Immortal" mobile game, and the "Dream New Immortal" mobile game has always remained at the top of the iOS best-seller list.
Shen Wu
Beta: September 2010
As a player who has played Shenwu 123, you must talk about the game "Shenwu 4", because "Fantasy Journey to the West" itself is a point card game, plus the main planner of Shenwu is the main planner of Fantasy Westward Journey, old X, so there are some overlapping sects between "Fantasy Westward Journey" and Shenwu itself, which also attracts a group of leopard head players who like "Fantasy Westward Journey".
But players who have really played will find that these two games only have some similar sects, from the main gameplay, to the activities, to the pet system, the whole is different, so Shenwu has also attracted a lot of players with its own strength, and has invited different star endorsements many times, as far as the author knows, there are Huang Zitao, Xu Song, etc. ~ Also counted as the leader in the turn-based game.
In addition, the Shenwu mobile game itself is also extremely hot, and when the author entered the new district at the beginning of this year, he directly queued up for half an hour to start.
"Taoyuan Will Star"
Beta: July 2013
Let's talk about a more interesting turn-based end game "Taoyuan Will Star Record", Ice Motion Entertainment independently developed the first Unreal 3D real-time turn-based online game. Before this, most of the turn-based games were 2D or 2.5D, and "Taoyuan" boldly made a 3D turn-based end game.
In that year, the style of "Taoyuan Will Star Record" can be described as very super strong, although now it seems that the style of painting is slightly inferior, in addition to the change of style, "Taoyuan Will Star Record" has also modified the skills of the game, the traditional turn-based system generally divides the skills into single seconds or group seconds, and in "Taoyuan Will Star Record", the skills are set in a position. To put it simply, it may be cross-shaped, it may attack the front row, it may attack the back row, and it is necessary to select skills according to the number of people and the position of the enemy, making the battle more interesting.
But unfortunately, on January 26, 2021, the official website of Taoyuan Will Star Record published a suspension announcement and at 11:00 on June 28, 2021: closed the game's official website, official forum and exclusive customer service. Eventually the game goes out of service.
"Peach Blossom Origin"
Beta: July 2015
Turn-based games generally feature light and casual content. But players who have actually played turn-based systems know that the daily activities of turn-based systems require a lot of time, and even if there is a hang-up function, but high-difficulty gameplay like dungeons also needs to be determined manually.
But there is such a turn-based game that is really relaxed and casual, and is most suitable for working to touch fish, that is, "Peach Blossom Origin 2".
Since "Peach Blossom Origin", "Peach Blossom Origin 2" has been upgraded again in various aspects. In "Peach Blossom Origin 2", you only need to find your own fixed team, and then hang up your automatic skills, various experiences, treasures and other rewards will easily reach your hands, after the game hangs up after work, after work to organize rewards to sell things, easy.
What is even more exaggerated is that the division missions in the game can also be carried out automatically, and the most abhorrent ring tasks can also be carried out automatically, truly free hands. If you are friendly enough with your teammates, some copies that need to be determined, such as hero quests and item quests, can also be determined automatically. Really do as long as you hang up the machine can easily get the reward.
Well, the above is an inventory of some classic turn-based end games, I don't know which one is the most classic end game in your mind?
