Two years after going online, goodbye is still a surprise.
"Riding horses from the desert, long drive to saiyuan" may be the best portrayal of the content of the game "Tribe and Machete", although players who do not know much about this game may simply know the various labels of "2D riding and slashing", "desert martial arts sandbox", and "MOD is the body".
These labels didn't stop Tribe & Machete from being a fun enough game, and whatever the label, the most important thing about the game was just fun, fun.
It is also in this context that two years after its release, it is on the mobile terminal and will officially log in on June 16.
The point is!
Mobile games are still a buyout system, and the initial price is only 18 yuan.
Let me try it first and see if this cup of milk tea is worth it.
- Exotic painting style Simplicity is not simple
"Tribe and Machete", from the first time I heard this name, I felt full of exotic winds, deserts, camels, sunsets, caravans coming and going, coupled with an exotic soundtrack, I seemed to have really come to the western region that I had never touched before, walking horse rivers, snowy seashores, flat sand and yellow sky.
Although it is a hand-painted style, it is "simple but not simple", and a few strokes outline the world of a western desert, which is also a different way in a number of immersive categories, which can't help but make people shine.
In addition, the game's face pinching system is really surprising to me, a good-looking protagonist face can greatly enhance the experience of my game, I thought that the 2.5D game is at most a simple hair change, preset face these, but did not expect to pinch the face to be much more detailed, including hairstyles, facial features, clothing, etc. can be matched with hundreds of kinds.
The various beautiful characters in the game are even more so that I call "wife", which perfectly explains what it means to meet a love one, and the producer really pinches my preferences to death.
Schaasha.
What was the main line when playing in the early days? What characters? I just want to try to brush up on good feelings and collect the wife group.
But female characters can't confess! Will be rejected on the grounds of "we are all girls". Shiver cold!
Pretty sister who doesn't love ah, the pattern is small ah Han family.
- Desert sandbox with diverse gameplay
"Tribe and Machete" brings me the biggest impression is very playable, the game content is huge, the gameplay diversity is full, coupled with the high degree of freedom brought by the open world, so that the playability of the game is constantly raised, a careless ten hours have passed, it is really a weapon to kill time.
The backstory of the game shows the collapse of the old dynasty, the tribes in the desert are camped, the monsters of unknown origin, a catastrophe is about to sweep the desert, and all of this, only the player, that is, you can save.
In the story mode, players can choose different identities to enter the game, the main line of these characters is exactly the same, the difference is that some of the characters have an exclusive plot, according to the origin and experience of the characters, different characters also have different initial skills, the partners they travel with are also different, and the corresponding difficulty is also different.
When you have enough understanding of the character's performance and skill moves in the later stages, you can also try the "Nameless Sword Lord", which is a fully initialized class with unlimited potential, just like the player himself who came to this desert.
In addition, the game also has a sandbox mode, the sandbox mode has no main line, you can freely explore the desert, under which there are different difficulty distinctions, which can meet the players of all stages.
In addition to the unknown effects of facing the plot choices, the development of the game's characters will also be affected by the established talent tree and skill tree
The character talent tree system is divided into six directions, including charm, business, marching, surgery, domination, and politics, and you can do whatever you like.
For example, you can take the horse team and camel team through the desert and the snowy mountains in the western region where the wind and sand are wanton, and the tribal struggle has nothing to do with you, try to buy low and buy high, quietly become the richest man in the desert, and amaze everyone.
Or a pair of hands, two legs, from fighting rookies all the way to the desert boxer.
If you don't talk about martial arts, then punch the brotherhood, grab the big caravan, and become a desert bully as soon as possible
Be ambitious, attack the city, kill all sides, and achieve world domination, after all, we are the protagonists of the game.
If you want to attack the city, it is natural to recruit soldiers and horses, and even attack the NPCs in the game, when the good feeling reaches a certain level, you can not only confess, but also recruit to work and expand your team.
But yes, the wife is the wife, the little brother is the little brother, let me see what my wife is going to do.
Unless her name is An Hongsha.
In addition to the talent tree, the skills of the characters can be described as diverse, and different characters have different skills.
Not only can you choose to inherit skills at the beginning of the game, but later different talent points and skill points make up a variety of combat methods for the character, which can be the harmless flow of enhanced surgery, or the retinue flow that increases the dominance.
Different talents and skills add points, recruit different classes, upgrade different skills, attack different friends, each choice is a different journey experience, such a game process is the most important part of the "Tribe and Machete" game experience.
However, according to personal experience, it is recommended that novices start with the story mode, which will have a novice-led plot and also involve some of the truths of the game world.
Once you are familiar with the game mechanics and gameplay, you can start the sandbox mode and embark on your own journey to the desert.
- Mobile optimization
The game content of "Tribe and Machete" is huge, with the deepening of the game process, after more maps are unlocked, there will be a large amount of game content at the same time into the player's field of vision, and the speed of content spread is not easy for novices to get started, affecting part of the game experience.
In this regard, the officially produced Wiki Encyclopedia also implants the wiki in the game, which is convenient for players to check the specific strategy gameplay, but also reduces the difficulty of getting started.
In addition to Wikipedia, the game also supports mod mods, because the mod itself is an important part of the gameplay of "Tribe and Machete", and the official said that it will regularly "official manually carry" the way to carry the player's favorite mod to the mobile phone, and also strongly support the player to make their own mod.
If you are tired of cultivation and like brainless killing, you can also choose to use some mod to do some small cheating and directly cross the battlefield.
However, mobile games relative to the end of the game, because there is no mouse to click, can only be close until the interactive key, if too close to the last interactive NPC or town will automatically select the last one, easy to misoperate, although only a small problem, but still look forward to the official in the later stage can do some adjustments.
Write at the end
"Tribe and Machete" this game I can also be regarded as a terminal game transfer player, in fact, in this sandbox mode open world type, it is very suitable for transplanting to the mobile game end, the gameplay is many, time-consuming, but you can pause the save at any time. Placed on the mobile phone side can read the file anytime and anywhere to play, which is also an advantage that the PC side cannot match.
As an indie game, Tribe and Machete, compared to a masterpiece like "Riding Slash", there are obviously still many shortcomings, but it gives me hope.
As we all know, domestic independent games started late, there was no change of mobile games to make money quickly, and the market shrank. Player expectations and high tolerance have led to many domestic independent games being rotten, and it seems that as long as they pull out domestic products, they can deceive a wave of feelings.
And "Tribe and Machete" jumped out of the historical comfort zone, did not stay in the martial arts jianghu, but slowly unfolded a story of Western style, such a background whether it is a domestic player or an overseas friend, there will not be too much violation.
Today, two years after its launch, I believe that "Tribe and Machete" will still bring surprises to mobile users once again, and may also be able to push the buyout mobile game a little further.
