No one can escape Roguelike's clutches.
Seriously, I don't know why these meat pigeon games are so popular, let's just say that this "Patch Quest" (Chinese translation: "Collage Adventure" that I only put down last weekend, let me touch dozens of hours of fish in less than a week.
"Patch Quest" is a meat pigeon game that landed on Steam on March 3, and its popularity in China has been a bit unpopular since its release.
However, the game has a good reputation, and it still has a 95% positive rating on Steam half a month later.
"Patch Quest" is not a classic "survivor game", but a shooting game with meat pigeon elements and "catching pets".
It may sound a bit complicated, but it's actually really fun after hand.
In this game, the player's goal is not only to defeat the enemies in front of them, but also to set up a place to "capture" the monsters on the map and make them their mounts for their own use.
"Capture" is the core mechanic of Patch Quest.
In the gameplay diagram, the player needs to use the monster that is ready to be used as a "mount" by rope and try to rotate around the mount by moving. Turn 360° and you can successfully capture the mount.
In the match, successfully capturing the mount will not only directly "get on the horse (not necessarily the horse)" to greatly increase the combat power, but also send the mount back to its hometown so that it can be summoned at any time for future adventures.
All very cute!
According to the Guide, Patch Quest currently has more than 50 mounts, each with a completely different skill pairing.
However, there is a limitation that each mount can only be used once in the same adventure, so how to match skills and how to use skills need to be considered according to the situation of the game when playing.
In addition to the cute monsters, another very interesting thing about Patch Quest is that its map is super large.
If you want the map to be fully open, it can take almost 20 hours or more.
The map setting does not change with the addition of meat pigeon elements in the game, but players will collect completely different types of items in the map for different matches, and the enemies they encounter are different.
And its ecology is not the kind of completely overhead, think of a map that comes out of it, it has a very complex ecological appearance.
From the original jungle, hills, desert and coast, to volcanoes, fossils, swamps, Zen courtyards, etc. in the middle and late stages, the game contains a total of 13 different ecology.
The mounts and objects that appear in different ecosystems are very different, and each area has a lot of unknown events to explore, which complement the game Patch Quest.
And according to the publisher, Patch Quest is a completely personal indie game.
Indie gamers in the UK were developed for 7 years. While operating the engine to write code, he used the drawing software to outline various monsters in the game one by one, made his own music, created the background of the story, recorded PV, and finally presented "Patch Quest" in the most complete form.
The combination of different elements makes the gameplay experience very different from traditional bullet screen type games
Interesting capture system, each slightly different meat pigeon experience, and finally a little home decoration, different gameplay combined with Patch Quest became the most playable meat pigeon game of the month.
Thinking about the possible online systems for Patch Quest later, I can't wait.
