When it comes to doomsday survival games, NetEase's "After Tomorrow" is definitely the largest audience of players, and when the whole platform is in public beta, it is really extremely popular, and the DAU that day was close to 6 million, which once led to server paralysis, known as: the biggest dark horse in 2018! And recently, NetEase, which had just broken up with Blizzard, was backstabbed by Tencent!
On February 23, "Dawn Awakening" opened the unlimited + undeleted file test, attracting a large number of players who love doomsday survival. I thought that "Dawn Awakening", which has been developed for 4 years, can bring some freshness to the doomsday survival mobile game, but the result is disappointing many players. "Dawn Awakening" is very similar to "After Tomorrow" in terms of skills, character status, system prompts, task reminders, settings and actions of the infected, and interactive buttons.
From the initial full expectations, to today's closed beta experience, "Dawn Awakening" has been developed for four years, and it also has the example of "After Tomorrow", but after the closed beta experience, many players have found that there is nothing innovative compared to "After Tomorrow". Even the player's favorite building gameplay is almost identical to After Tomorrow. No wonder, on the day of the game's closed beta, many players complained.

"Magic Domain Mobile Game 2", which also opened the test this year, has a completely different reputation from "Dawn Awakening", and on the day of the test, it attracted a group of old players in the Magic Domain, and because of the restoration of the world view and phantom beast system, it was loved by many old players. In addition, the drop setting of the game copy, the setting of equipment in-game value preservation, and the more comprehensive virtual trading system in the game are also full of praise for players. For the purpose of curiosity, I also went to experience it, so let's talk about my feelings!
The first is the equipment drop of the copy, compared to most mobile games that are bound items, "Magic Domain Mobile Game 2" is more friendly, and most of the equipment dropped by the copy is non-bound items. Not only is it convenient for players to replace each other and quickly get the items they need, but the brick mover party can also get a certain amount of in-game virtual income by moving bricks.
The second is the setting of in-game value preservation in the equipment, which is not only my favorite, but also the favorite of many brick movers. With this setting, equipment that is outdated or can't keep up with the progress of the game can be broken down to increase the level of phantom beasts, and more powerful terms can be transferred to the current equipment to increase the strength of the current equipment. This keeps low-level equipment from depreciating quickly, which is very helpful for the in-game virtual economy market. Because of this, the stickiness of the game is much higher, which improves the retention rate of "Magic Domain Mobile Game 2" in disguise. And brick movers can also sell these equipment at higher virtual prices and obtain higher virtual benefits.
Finally, there is the virtual trading system of "Magic Domain Mobile Game 2". Virtual consignment houses and virtual cross-server consignment houses can list items anytime, anywhere, making virtual transactions between players more convenient, and those non-bound items that cannot be listed can also be sold through in-game stalls. Brick movers can also get faster and higher virtual profits through these virtual trading systems!
