Hello everyone, this is Dr. X.
The domestic game market has just experienced the peak period of the summer vacation in August, and although the game sales momentum of major manufacturers has slowed down in September, there are many works worth paying attention to, so let Dr. X take you to take a look.
Operation Delta
Key points: Tencent has invested heavily to build a 30-year-old classic IP, promising not to sell values
On September 26, the FPS masterpiece "Delta Operation", authorized by NovaLogic and operated by Tencent, was launched on both PC and mobile phones at the same time. The game tells the story of former Delta team members who founded the global anti-terrorism task force G.T.I., and players will travel to the mysterious Assala region to investigate the illegal activities of the Hafk company as an elite special operations agent of the G.T.I.
In order to build this game, Tencent can be said to have invested a lot of money, first approached NovaLogic, and bought the license of the classic FPS game "Operation Delta", which has a history of nearly 30 years. In addition, in order to adapt the game campaign mode, Tencent went to Hollywood to spend a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights of the movie "Black Hawk Down", coupled with the overwhelming advertisements before the launch of the service, which shows that Tencent is bound to win this wave.
As the most important shooting feel of FPS, although "Delta Operation" has a certain gap from first-line FPS games such as COD and "Battlefield", it is far beyond the passing line in terms of Dr. X.
It is worth mentioning that the gunsmith system in the game is very good, not only is there a wide range of accessories, but players can even fine-tune specific accessories, which is a detailed setting that Dr. X has not seen in many first-line FPS titles.
At present, "Operation Delta" not only has the popular "Tarkov-like" survival and evacuation gameplay, but also has a battlefield-like 64-man battlefield stronghold melee mode.
Compared to hardcore realistic gameplay such as Escape from Tarkov, Tarkov mode in Delta Ops retains the crosshair, while removing settings such as hunger so that light players can quickly pick it up. The feeling of rushing up on the battlefield is also cooler than that of the battlefield, at least the plug-in governance and network stability are 100 times better than the EA Tudou server next door.
Judging from the current performance of the game, due to the producer's promise that the game will not sell the value, relying only on the income of the pass, the early turnover of the game has not been able to get the ideal ranking on the leaderboard. However, according to Dr. X, if the operation does not die and honestly continues to update and improve the game content, Tencent's operation of "putting a long-term line and catching big fish" will not reap greater results in the future.
"Return to the Dragon Tide"
Focus: Art rides modeling to work, another two-dimensional game where three people cut each other
The two-dimensional side-scrolling action mobile game "Return to the Dragon Tide" produced by Longchao Pavilion Studio attracted a lot of attention during the preliminary test period with its exquisite vertical painting and art effects.
After the game was launched, the art effect did not disappoint the players,Character standing painting and live 2D quality in the plot interpretation are very online,Although there is a certain gap between the character modeling level and the standing painting,But overall, the art of the game is still a level that can be played。
The battle of "Return to the Dragon Tide" is a box-style side-scrolling action gameplay, similar to 2D Metroidvania, in order to take care of the mass players of mobile games, the combat difficulty of the game is not high, as long as the player is familiar with the process of breaking the shield, cutting people, and output, you can successfully clear the customs.
In addition to fighting, parkour in the game is also a major gameplay of "Return to the Dragon Tide", in the game by clicking to dodge interactive mechanisms, destroy obstacles or kill mobs will enter parkour mode, after entering parkour mode, click to dodge when the aperture is reduced to the minimum to carry out high-speed movement, and the refreshing feeling brought by continuous high-speed movement is still very sufficient.
However, the interaction of certain mechanisms in the map will forcibly interrupt the process of high-speed parkour, which will greatly reduce the feeling of coolness. At the same time, compared with direct combat, the parkour difficulty curve of some levels in "Return to the Dragon Tide" is much higher than that of combat, which has led to the game being complained by many new players.
For the common cultivation of the second game,"Returning to the Dragon Tide" is not innovative,The cultivation in the game is basically divided into clichéd levels、Skills and equipment systems similar to holy relics,Daily copies can be quickly completed by sweeping,The time cost of maintaining the game every day after getting started is relatively low,This is also a major advantage of the game。
On the whole, due to the low difficulty of the side-scrolling battle of "Return to the Dragon Tide", the bias towards lawn mowing gameplay will inevitably make players bored in the later stage. Although the PVP mode in the game will make players who like to study the game ecstatic, it will also discourage players with handicap players, and the current game ranking has dropped from 21 to 100.
"The Awakening of Ten Thousand Dragons"
Key points: Krypton's paradise, the hell of civilian players, 70 lives are full, non-Krypton is not allowed to enter
Recently, the new SLG game "Wanlong Awakening", developed by Chengdu Legou and operated by Lilith, was officially tested on September 10. As you can tell from the name, "Awakening of Ten Thousand Dragons" is a continuation of Lilith's previous work "Awakening of Kingdoms" in terms of gameplay and positioning, and this work is also regarded as the successor of "Awakening of Kingdoms".
When the game was launched overseas in 23 years, it once entered the Top 10 best-selling lists in many countries and regions, and the game was launched in China for nearly 3 weeks, and the ranking was basically stable at about 20 on the best-selling list, which is also a good result.
"Awakening of Ten Thousand Dragons" adopts a more operable free march mode, which fully considers the range, terrain, formation and other mechanisms in the battle, and it is very RTS to play. In addition, guessing the restraint relationship of the unknown enemy team also introduces certain variables into the game's battles and improves the game's strategic height.
The characters in "Ten Thousand Dragons Awakening" need to be constantly brushed to upgrade, the highest level of wild monsters is linked to the base level, each character has a total of 5 skills, of which 4 are unlocked with the level, and the 5th skill needs to be extracted from the repeated role to upgrade the four skills to the full level 5 to unlock, Dr. X calculated, if you want to be full, you need to repeat the same character 70 times, I have to say that this number is really against the sky.
Although "Ten Thousand Dragons Awakening" adopts a season system, because the value of the full-life character is basically twice that of the tabula rasa role, Kryptonite can quickly crush civilian players in terms of character strength in the early part of the new season, coupled with the overwhelming props and time acceleration, the experience of "Ten Thousand Dragons Awakening" zero Krypton players has plummeted.
All operations seem so pale and powerless in front of Krypton players, Dr. X summed it up with four words, "Don't enter if you don't Krypton", students touch their wallets first and then consider whether to enter the pit.
"Like a Kite"
Focus: The new disruptor in the female market has won a lot of hearts by opening the service
"Like a Kite" is an immersive plot card mobile game launched by Lingxi Interactive Entertainment, the game was the first to be launched overseas in 23 years, with excellent Live 2D and ingenious Three Kingdoms-themed group portrait plot, once attracted countless players to go out over the wall to experience.
The combat system of "Like Kites" adopts a card turn-based system, and players can equip a total of five characters to go into battle, and players can choose to attack, defend or use ultimate.
The game compares values and team configurations, for example, if Dr. X didn't draw Wang Cang in the early stage, he would be frequently stuck, and he needed to use a certain lineup and manual operation to overcome difficulties by using the skills of the heroes, and occasionally he was quite good. This also breaks the stereotype that traditional women lack "strong gameplay orientation" in games.
The story design of "Like a Kite" is also very bold, jumping out of the traditional female-oriented theme category, setting the plot in an alternate world of three kingdoms, describing a story of a group of heroes competing for power and power. The player is in charge of an intelligence organization called "Embroidered Clothes Building", which leads the major secret agents and conducts a series of complex power struggles.
In the previous live broadcast of the official server, the anchor read the player's wish "A person who likes a kite will succeed in anything" as "A person who doesn't like a kite will not succeed in anything", and finally the official compensated the player with this line as a redemption code and apologized, which calmed the player's dissatisfaction.
It can be said that less than ten days after the launch of the national service of "Like a Kite", it made a good start and became a frequent visitor to hot searches. Although there is an occasional rhythm, as a returnee game, this popularity is quite powerful, and now the game's revenue has basically maintained in the top 10 of the iOS best-selling list.
