Beauty and grievances have always been important elements of Japanese horror works, such as "Midnight Bell", "Ghost Call", "Grudge", etc., there will be a beautiful heroine, and the image of the grievance that makes people drop SAN.

The name "Zero" comes from the Japanese homonym for "spirit" Rei, which means ghost. Through the form of the game, it uses graphics, sound effects, and atmosphere to immerse people, especially the highly interactive operation, which makes players more excited.

I don't know if you have seen girls play the "Zero" series, in a program "Game Stuff" broadcast by Travel Satellite TV in 2002, two girls were invited to play the game "Zero".

The impression should be "Zero Red Butterfly", at the beginning the two girls were talking and laughing, and slowly became more and more nervous, and from time to time they let out a few exclamations. In the end, they were all pale, unable to say a word, and the terrifying atmosphere in the room was simply no less than in the game.

This show has more than 60 million people following at its hottest, mainly broadcasting new game information, strategies, secrets, etc., which is very popular with players and should be the only professional single-player game program on TV.

Unfortunately, it was stopped by a paper ban in 2004, and "Game Stuff" has become a dusty memory forever.

Here's a nostalgia for those anchors: Luan Ping, Wang Yan, VC, VM, and the clay pot boy with a special voice.

Well, with the emotion over, let's return to Zero: The Mask of Lunar Eclipse.

Lunar Eclipse is known as the most terrifying generation in the series, telling the story of the heroine Shui Wuyue Liuge and other protagonists who go to Moon Island to explore the mysterious events of ten years ago.

In 2008, Tecumo had not yet been incorporated into the glory, and it was successfully developed with the support of Nintendo "Zero: The Mask of the Eclipse", so it was exclusive to the Wii platform and optimized according to the Wii's controller characteristics.

The gameplay is mainly to explore the scene, find key props such as keys, open the way, and travel to new regions to advance the story. Unlike Western-style horror games such as Resident Evil, the enemies of this work come and go without a trace, and the impact on the psychology is greater under the atmosphere.

The Wii version of the game uses the left joystick to control the action, the right controller to feel the viewing angle, and the little sister can run and interact, raise the camera to take pictures and other actions. Personally, I think that the Wii's somatosensory operation is now incomparable to all controllers, and the immersion of the buttons and the wave of the controller is much worse.

The NS Remastered can use somatosensory to control the movement of the camera lens, and the perspective and character action rely on two joysticks, which would be great to reproduce the way the Wii operates.

It is recommended that you change the operation mode to "action", which is more suitable for your current game habits.

The overall style of the picture is dark, and from time to time there will be black and white pictures and grainy nostalgia. With the terrifying sound effect, it indicates that a grievance is about to appear, and everyone should be prepared.

The little sister's pace is slow, running is not much faster, the only way to fight is to use the camera to take pictures to seal the spirit body, some monsters are much more flexible than humans, dodging left and right in the lens, focusing is not easy, and they will pounce on you a few times when they take time, and the little sister's exclamation also makes people sweat.

The character modeling is more elaborate than the original, and the style has also been adjusted to a certain extent, for example, Liuge always has a resentful expression, and the face of the remastered version seems to be more tenacious, which is closer to the current aesthetic.

The image of the grievance is very terrifying, especially in the quiet background with its own horror sound effects, which can scare people even more. The popular little Lolia Yoko of the series also appeared in this work, and she had a twisted personality during her lifetime to torture others.

After turning into a ghost, he stabs with scissors in his hand, and the room is full of upside-down arms, and he is a difficult character with a strong contrast between the outside and the inside.

The modeling of the new work Zhongya Yoko has also been redone, the body proportions are a little slender, and it looks a little older than the actual 12 years old, will the ghost also grow up?

She is still very vicious, and she is even more merciless when she sees the protagonist, but after being defeated, she gently shouts "mother", which makes people immediately feel pity for her, and it seems that she is still a child, so the disgust has faded a lot.

The ubiquitous masks of the entire Moon Island are actually related to the plot, the spirit bodies of the island are strong and weak, they are all wandering on the island because they are unwilling to die, and some fragmentary information can be found in many scenes, which can glimpse a corner of their characters, which plays a certain role in completing the story.

The camera is the main means of combat, and the body is an old-fashioned camera that can seal spirit bodies. Each grievance has a different intensity and requires multiple attacks to be effective.

The later enhanced film has a certain help to improve combat effectiveness, the most important thing is that everyone does not shake their hands, try to focus until a red circle appears and then press the shutter to exert maximum power.

When operating the camera, it is difficult to see the surrounding panorama, pay attention to adjust the orientation according to the prompts of the spirit silk above, and capture the spirit body before fighting. The characters' movements are slow, making people anxious, and adding to the sense of terror.

In addition to exploring Moon Island and fighting monsters, the biggest fun of the game is watching the little sister change her clothes.

In addition to the default costumes in this work, the deluxe version also provides five or six costumes such as swimwear, pajamas, and cheongsam, each with its own flavor to wear.

It's a little regrettable that the RL effect that LSP likes to see is not obvious in this game, and the wet effect like "The Witch of the Raven" is also rare.

But how could the pants devil miss the opportunity to show the heroine's beautiful body? We can observe the character 360° in the photography mode. This mode is very powerful, you can adjust camera effects such as focal length, aperture, can also add special effects such as frames, particles, and even adjust the posture of the character, what did you find at this time?

A certain part moved slightly, after all, the pants devil, after all, is a pants demon, and only players who are concentrating on shooting characters will find out!

Thinking about it this way, the game doesn't seem so scary, pause in various scenes, first admire the little sister beautifully, and then summon up the courage to defeat the grievances, and it is our responsibility to protect the beautiful body!

From the perspective of the game, only some aspects have been processed in high definition, such as character modeling and key props, etc., and the scenes, such as walls, doors, and interior furnishings, are still in the original style, and there will be a little sense of separation in contrast.

The overall atmosphere and plot are pretty good, and if you can accept the slightly old controls and weird stories, it's worth spending more than a dozen hours to play once, of course, try not to play alone at night.
