In the era of arcade, I don't know how many players even dreamed at night in order to practice a certain combo in the game, which was the game screen and the order of the keys. But since the wave of the arcade era passed, that feeling of passion seems to have slowly faded. But there is one game that successfully exploded at this point in time when the arcade and the terminal game were handed over, and that was Dungeons and Warriors.
The reason why this game is mentioned, in addition to its successful acceptance of many old players transferred from the arcade era, there is also a point that must be mentioned, that is, the game itself is a new type of arcade game cloaked in the skin of online games. Many combos and gameplay are traced in the arcade circle, and the classic 2D pixel style, horizontal clearance, support for up to four-person teams, etc., are also very similar to the "Three Kingdoms" and "Dungeons and Dragons" of that year.
Although DNF is a collection of copied and borrowed a lot, it has not affected it in the slightest way to become one of the most popular works in the game industry, especially the most classic level 60 version, a professional "Street Fighter" with arcade attributes in its own name, and I don't know how many arcade players have found a belonging here. However, it is interesting that the "Street Fighter" copycat here is not "Street Fighter" in the arcade game, but "King of Fighters".
DNF Street Fighter's first skill after the transfer of the job, "Capture Moon Yan", comes from the two hundred and twelve styles of Kofumitsu Kyo in KOF95, and even the name is basically the same, that is, the difference between the Chinese translation and the change of words. And The signature skill after Street Fighter level 30, "Fu Hu Overlord Fist", is also from the boxing champion Ralph's horse cannon punch, but compared with the original, the female Street Fighter's action strength, angle, and shock are missing not a little bit.
Also a fighter, Sanda took a detour back to the Street Fighter game to find inspiration. The inspiration for the one-trick "Eagle Stomp" is clearly derived from one of Chun Li's signature skills, the Eagle Claw Foot. What's even more outrageous is that even Meng Xin can see at a glance that it is a hundred cracked feet exclusive to Chunli, and it has also become a "shadow serial kick" of Sanda level 45. Even the Sheng Long Fist has been copied unchanged, and this degree of "tribute" makes the arcade players who lost their way resist the temptation?
In the judo who is known for throwing skills, as long as the skills are attached to the various throwing skills in the previous arcade games, it is also one to one accurate, and the most recognizable "spiral comet fall" is the signature "spiral piledriver" skill from Sangilff.
In the end, the qigong master's spiral aura, or from Chun Li's qigong palm, and the level 45 Thunder Dragon went to sea, and then jumped to the flying shadow trick "Black Dragon Wave" in the White Book of The Shadow, which can also be seen that the designer of DNF is definitely an old player involved in a wide range of arcade games.
Of course, as the most classic profession of DNF, the skill action of the ghost swordsman is naturally more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when it comes to sword-themed fighting games, there are many works in the arcade circle that can be called classics, of which "Samurai Shodown" and "Moon Swordsman" are the most famous. Most of the skills of the four professions of the Ghost Swordsman, like those of the fighters, can be found in these two works.
The most worth mentioning is the red eye of a move "Soul Eater Hand", just listening to the name of this similar harmonic terrier should be able to many people guess its origin, that is, Liu Yunfei's ordinary skill "Heavenly Crying Fengluo" in "Samurai Shodown", not only the same action, even the game name has moved over, can only say that in terms of "tribute", or South Korea is more rigorous.
Even the prototype of the ghost swordsman, in fact, there will be many netizens today who believe that he is a reproduction of the image of Sorbag in "Evil Gear", which continues to this day, and there are still many voices of support.
Although this view is a matter of opinion, it once again proves the deep influence of arcade games on DNF, and it can definitely be its father.
I wonder what other works you have seen that borrow from arcade games? What new homage skills have been found in DNF? All are welcome to leave a message in the comment area Oh ~
