As an important carrier of Chinese martial arts cultural inheritance, martial arts games have always maintained a stable heat and topic in the domestic game circle, and many players still adhere to turn-based martial arts. Turn-based games seem simple, but not always, the number of operations, content, action points, etc. carried out by players per turn will become an important factor affecting the game, which hides infinite wisdom and potential.
A fusion of martial arts and turn-based systems
"Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the laughing book god man leans on the blue duck." Chivalry is a traditional spiritual culture rooted in the hearts of many Chinese people from ancient times to the present, and the emergence of turn-based martial arts has injected new vitality into classic turn-based games, and now the game market has also emerged some turn-based martial arts games with excellent performance.
"Heroes and Heroes" is an RPG single-player martial arts game with free gameplay and rich plot, in which players can choose a variety of martial arts to learn, and its combat system adopts the form of turn-based battle flags, which has certain requirements for formation and character operation, and high strategy adds a lot to it.
"The Way of The Hero" is a martial arts stand-alone cultivation game launched by Heluo Studio after the "Legend of The Heroes" series, which combines martial arts with the academy in the form of animator and comic style, and the player will play a young chivalrous guest who has entered the martial arts academy and practice martial arts to move forward. The classic hex grid wargame battle system and multiple gameplay have made it a good reputation.
Wulin Zhi is a martial arts stand-alone RPG developed by the independent game team "Jianghu Studio", the game is set in the early Ming Dynasty, players can explore the highly free martial arts world, experience up to 44 open-ended endings. Combat moves are divided into attack, defense and defense, turn-based form allows players to freely match to avoid real attacks, players can experience the charm of turn-based martial arts games.
A breakthrough in traditional turn-based systems
Compared to real-time combat games, turn-based games have the advantage of being strategic. For less responsive players, turn-based games allow them to think for a long time, use information and resources to strategize, and expand their strengths. However, the traditional turn-based system also has the disadvantage of too slow game rhythm, and it is easy to lag behind the plot for a long time, making players feel tired.
In order to solve these problems, many game manufacturers have made improvements and innovations on the basis of the traditional turn-based system. Wuxia single-player "Wulin Zhi" increases the consumption of internal force points on the basis of the consumption of action points per turn of the conventional turn-based system, and improves the traditional single move method to attack, defense and defense, and the three moves restrain each other.
In addition, drinking alcohol before entering the Wulinzhi game can greatly increase the combat strength, and the use of poison can reduce the difficulty of the battle. In one turn, players can implement multiple moves in a row and stack several Buffs, which increase the complexity and challenge of the battle and bring players a new turn-based game experience.
The icing on the cake for multiple ways to play
A variety of settings and gameplay derived from the wuxia turn-based game are the polish and improvement of the classic turn-based game. Set in Wulin zhi, which is set in the early Ming Dynasty, players can choose from dozens of sects to join and pledge allegiance to. Every once in a while, there will be a variety of rumors circulating in the game, and players will go to the corresponding county city according to the prompts to trigger events that may change the direction of history and experience dozens of different open-ended endings.
There is a setting of chivalrous values in "Wulin Zhi", the level of chivalrous values will affect the evaluation of the characters by NPCs in the game, and too low chivalrous values will attract the pursuit and killing of decent people in the jianghu. In addition, Wulinzhi also has a fun mini-game medicine collection and hunting, players will be able to use play points to get raw materials for making various herbs and dishes, and can increase the character's insight level. Whether in terms of volume or playability, "Wulinzhi" provides more possibilities for turn-based martial arts.
Change and development is an eternal proposition in the game industry, but some seemingly "backward" game mechanisms can still be revitalized when encountering appropriate themes and planning. We have reason to believe that even in the rapid development of technology, a turn-based martial arts game with enough care and sincerity can still occupy a place in the hearts of players.
