preface
For Chinese audiences, the most well-known of the Batman series should be Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, and in the field of games, the "Arkham" trilogy has a status comparable to that of movies.
"Batman: Arkham Knight" is the last work in the series, and it is also the first game in the series, the game not only allows players to play batman's various cool equipment, make up for the regret that there is no Batmobile in the first two works, but also tells us about the self-redemption of Batman as a superhero
Story backdrop
Just as the so-called "hospitable Gotham City, talented Arkham", the game still takes place in the familiar Gotham City, the Joker has died, scarecrow has developed a fear gas, and intends to release it in Gotham City, broadcasting the news to the whole of Gotham City.
For a moment of panic, almost all the residents of Gotham City evacuated Gotham City, and the mob was ready to take the opportunity to occupy Gotham, and we are familiar with the villains all on the move, except for the Riddler, the Penguin Man, the Two-Faced Man, the Crocodile Man, and the newly emerged mysterious character, the Arkham Knight. In the face of many opponents, tonight is a long night that belongs to Batman.
Wonderful fighting system
Although Batman has many high-tech, top human physical functions and physical skills, he is still a human, will be beaten by gangsters when injured, and his armor can not fully resist the damage of bullets. So Batman's battle scenes are divided into two categories, one is against gangsters without guns, and the other is against gangsters with guns.
When the enemy does not have a gun, Batman can rush into the gangster group, fight with the gangsters with fists, and defend back when the gangsters want to attack, for some attacks that cannot be defended, you need to dodge or use the cloak to interrupt their movements.
If attacked, Batman will take damage and combos will be cleared, and when the player has enough combos, he can use stunts to knock down, knock down large numbers of enemies at once, and unlock multiple stunt knockdowns by upgrading skills.
In addition to stunt knockdowns, Batman can also interact with the environment, which requires the release of items in the scene, such as chandeliers, oil barrels, and barbed wire, but the environment knockdown can only knock down one enemy at a time, and an item can only be used once.
Therefore, when using it, it is recommended to use the environment to knock down and prioritize the strong man and the medic, because Batman will not kill people but will only bring down the enemy, and the medic will save the enemy who is stunned.
Across the screen we can all feel the power of Batman, although the gangster will not die but also have to break a few ribs, with a slow-motion execution close-up to bring a great sense of blow.
In the battle scene where the enemy is fully armed, Batman's tactics will also change, at this time we can't go to the front, the battle is mainly stealth kills.
The heavily armed enemy is mainly occupied on some floors, and we have to use the grappling hook to reach the high place, use the detector to observe the position of the enemy, catch the single enemy, and quietly knock him down; in addition to the high place, the ventilation duct is also in a favorable position.
If an enemy finds that his companion has been knocked down, then the enemy will enter a state of fear, and Batman can launch a major kill - multiple fear knockdowns, which can knock down multiple enemies at once, but after using it once, we need to perform a stealth knockdown to charge the fear knockdown.
The most important thing in stealth combat is not to let the enemy find the location, the enemy is not a batman who does not kill, once found and does not escape in time, he will be sifted by the enemy's gun.
The Batmobile is really handsome
Batmobile has two forms of speed mode and battle mode, the combat part of the Batmobile is relatively simple, the Batmobile faces large and small drones, drones will appear in tasks related to Arkham Knight, we only need to use the Batmobile's 6mm cannon to blast them.
After continuously destroying enemies, Batmobile can use auto-aiming missiles to clear large areas of enemies, upgrading Batmobiles can increase the number of missiles fired, emp paralyzing the surrounding drones so that they cannot attack and move, using the cup virus to reverse control the drone.
The battle with personnel carriers has a dedicated mission line in the game, where we use speed mode to chase personnel carriers at high speed, destroying them with missiles and impacts, but this mission line is slightly boring.
Damn riddler man
The puzzles in the game have the same length as the battles, and most of the puzzles are related to the riddle people. Deciphering depends on Batman's various props, as well as Batmobile, each of Batman's props has its own uses.
Bat darts and remote bat darts are used to open unreachable switches, bat claw hooks are used to reach high places, arquebus guns are used to pass through places where there is no catch hook point, gel explosives can blow up some walls, long-range hacking devices can open electronic switches, etc., and some props can also be used in battle to disarm enemies.
Sometimes we also need to remotely control the Batmobile and the Batmobile for linkage decryption, such as in the early stage of the game, in the ace chemical we need to use the Batmobile to pull up the broken elevator to reach the underground; Batman also has a setting that is an outstanding detective, after Barbara disappeared in the middle of the game, we need to collect small clues at the scene of the car accident and restore the original appearance of things.
Decryption section about riddle man. First we asked the Riddler to get out of Gotham City, the Riddler quest is divided into two parts, the quest and trophy collection, the quest part we need to use the Batmobile for decryption and racing, the racing part is slightly difficult.
The Riddle Man Trophy Collection is the most difficult part of the game, the player needs to find the 243 collection elements hidden in the corners of the game map, and the quality of many puzzles is too high, and the average player can hardly complete all the puzzles without looking for a guide.
The most crucial point is that if the player wants to achieve the true ending of the game, all the criminals must be arrested, and the Riddler side line is a branch line that must be done.
The decryption of the game, the main line part is not difficult, will make full use of the various props obtained with the story, to ensure that the player will have enough fun before, during and after the game.
The game's inadequacies
We asked the Riddler to get out of Gotham City again. In addition to the Riddler, there are plenty of repetitive missions late in the game.
For example, to save 13 firefighters, each time need a vicious battle, in the city of mine mission, we need to face dozens of drones each time, the previously mentioned car chase mission, the speed of the personnel carrier is fast, often every car chase down, we have circled around the three islands, dozens of repeated experience makes the player feel bored.
About the Joker
As the number one villain in the Batman story, the absolute opposite of Batman, how can the love and killing between them end easily? Tonight's Batman defeats the Scarecrow and Arkham Knight to save Gotham, while fighting his own demons to suppress the crazy Joker, although the main line of the game is batman and Arkham Knight and the Scarecrow confrontation, but the Joker never really died, has always existed in the depths of Batman's consciousness.
The Joker erodes Batman's mind in an attempt to occupy Batman's body, and scarecrow's fear gas concretizes the Usually Suppressed Joker.
In the game, the Joker will randomly appear in various scenes in the game, constantly teasing Batman, and when Batman climbs the ventilation duct, the Joker will appear in the next corner. In the end, when Batman and the Joker confront each other in fear, we see the Joker's madness, as opposed to Batman, who swears not to kill, the Joker is a demon who takes pleasure in killing, and finally Batman defeats the Joker's demons and ends their grudge.
About Batman
One of the great charms, or the greatest charm of superhero works, lies in the ability to transcend ordinary people, such as human considerations and moral trade-offs like you and me. Batman, as a mortal body, is more representative in this regard.
"Batman: Arkham Knight" allows us to see a near-real Batman, a mortal hero's self-redemption and transcendence. From the beginning to the end of the game, Batman is mostly in the position of losing the initiative, his resistance, his anger, his helplessness, his exhaustion, and the magic of the game is that Batman has not put a word on these but can pass through the screen, so that the player can read the man behind the mask.
To Jason, he is more like a guilty "father", to Barbara, he is a guilty brother, and to Gordon, he is an old friend who holds a guilt. Whether it is to learn that the three people are dead or saved, the expression of Batman under the mask has hardly changed, but the heart of the fire under the iceberg is burning even more.
Excellent game works, worthy of the title of "ninth art". Batman: Knight of Arkham is worth playing for fans and passers-by. The game is born out of the Batman series of comics but not rigid, after extensive absorption of nutrients, it is self-contained, perfect world view, excellent game quality, brilliant plot and character portrayal.
In Nolan's Batman: The Dark Knight, Catwoman has persuaded Batman to leave Gotham, and he has done enough for Gotham, but Batman says "not everything.not yet", Bruce Wayne will die, but Batman will never die, he will be the eternal fear in the hearts of criminals.
