Around the 90s, video games mushroomed everywhere, and all kinds of fun games were launched, and the genres were also diverse, including role-playing (RPG), real-time strategy (RTS), strategy games (SLG), wargames (S-RPG) and so on.
In recent years, there have been many 3A masterpieces in the game industry, carefully inventory, found that most of them are a feeling, brainless slash + sudden game mode, coupled with realistic 3D effects, eat too much big fish and meat, always want to eat some light change taste. So I think of those fun classic games in the past, one of which is the war board game (S-RPG).
There are also many classic S-RPG games, such as "Fantasy Sim", "Royal Knights", "Fire Emblem", "Super Robot Wars" and so on.
Among them, the "Legend of Yingjie" series of Glorious Company is quite outstanding. Because I personally like the history of the Three Kingdoms very much, and the legend of Yingjie just happens to integrate the history of the three kingdoms into the game, making people feel more like substituting history, let's take an inventory of the glorious Yingjie series
Yingjie Legend 1: The Legend of the Three Kingdoms (released in 1995) (this one can also be called Liu Bei's Biography)
Prologue
This work is the first S-RPG game I have played, the storyline is based on Liu Bei's main line perspective, the first half of the game starts from the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, which basically conforms to the historical plot of the Three Kingdoms, and the second half is the overhead plot of Liu Bei's unification of the world. Among them, there are some fictional characters, such as the martial artist Pan Gong and the animal trainer Li Ming. In the later stage, he could also keep Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from dying, but he let the two old generals Huang Zhong and Yan Yan die. It is said that when the two veterans died in battle, I was sad for a long time.
Battle of Pengcheng
The level difficulty design of the Three Kingdoms is exemplary, and even now, "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" is a difficult "hardcore" game. This game cannot use the traditional S/L Dafa, so when fighting, consider the next move, the use of skills and items, one wrong step, there may be a chain reaction. Especially in the early stage of the Battle of Kaibashi, the later escape plots such as Nagasaka Slope, Luocheng, Maicheng, etc., the difficulty can be described as quite high. I remember when I was a kid, my uncle played this game and played the last level all night.
Liu Bei, who is level 99, started very well
As soon as the legend of the Three Kingdoms Zhi Yingjie came out, it was widely praised. It is still very active today. Due to the high difficulty, a new gameplay has been derived, that is, how many martial generals can reach the maximum level 99 under normal games, and many people are obsessed with this, so how many level 99 characters can you train? (Do you remember the cheats that can make Liu Bei directly rise to level 99 by maniacally ordering Liu Bei's avatar?) ）
The Legend of Yingjie 2: The Legend of the Three Kingdoms Kong Ming (released in 1996)
The opening animation is quite well made
The immediacy of the later Cao Cao biography
Zhuge Liang's 5 hearts state can be left and right to hide the plot at the end
Because the legend of the Three Kingdoms Zhi Yingjie was well received, followed by the glorious release of the Three Kingdoms Zhi Kong Ming Biography, this work takes Zhuge Liang as the main line perspective, telling the story of Zhuge Liang from Longzhong out of the mountains to Wuzhangyuan died of illness, there is a fantasy plot setting in the system, click on Zhuge Liang his status bar has 5 red hearts, and when the red hearts are not consumed in Wuzhangyuan, you can enter the fantasy ending of Zhuge Liang immortality and then unification. This game is decent, not very difficult, easy to play, and the graphics are quite good. The only thing I couldn't stand was the poor sound effects when attacking.
Hero 3: Maori Yuan (released in 1997)
Japan's Sengoku first wise general Mori Moto
Maddening gibberish
I saw this work in the computer game room in 98 (at that time, we couldn't use the Internet here, so we couldn't call it an Internet café), telling the story of Maori Gensho, the first wise general of Japan's Sengoku Warring States, this work added prop making functions, but it was very cumbersome, and there was a practice field that could be quickly leveled up, and the overall difficulty was not high. The biggest problem with this work is the language problem, I remember that at that time I needed to open the four-way Lifang and Antarctica conversion to play normally, and there were often cases where the dialogue was Chinese and the inventory was garbled in Japanese, and the experience was quite bad.
Hidejie 4: Oda Nobunaga (released in 1998)
Oda Nobunaga
Still maddeningly gibberished
This work tells the life story of the Warring States Storm, the sixth day demon king Oda Nobunaga, from Nobunaga's youth to the end of the change of Honnoji. The Honnoji level has many plot branches, and there are three different endings in total. Overall similar to Yingjie 3 Maori Original, language problems still have not improved.
The Legend of Yingjie 5: The Legend of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms (released in 1998)
Cao Cao, red, gold, and blue bronze finches represent clearance of the route
In the first battle of Yingchuan, how not to let Liu Guan Zhang mend the knife is difficult
Jianye invasion war, Xiahou Wei is the main force
The story takes Cao Cao as the main perspective and tells the magnificent life of Cao Cao. Players make different choices through the story, which will affect Cao Cao's ambition index, and the game will eventually have three endings, namely red (dominance ending), gold (Cao Pi called emperor), and blue (defeating the demon king). Each time you clear the level, depending on the ending, the logo of the red copper finch, the golden copper finch, and the blue copper sparrow will appear on the title screen. If you get all three signs, you can get all the treasures at the beginning of the game again.
The classics of this game probably don't need me to describe more, the numerous mods say it all, from the class to the various terrain, prop use, treasure matching is the best work. The level design is also quite exquisite, such as the battle of Wancheng to save Dian Wei, the battle of Chibi to kill Eastern Wu and Liu Bei, in a word, a classic among classics. I've always had this game on my hard drive and never wanted to delete it.
I don't know if you have noticed, in recent years, it seems that wargame (S-RPG) games have gradually disappeared from our field of vision, and those classic games that we are familiar with have no new works for sale, and it is really regrettable to watch these excellent IPs gradually decline.
