To be honest, when I first saw this name, my first reaction was: Another IP-based card game, right? After all, I have seen too many games of this type from the Saipan era to now, and most of them are for money. But after actually playing it for a few days, I must say that this game is indeed interesting.
Let's talk about the basics first. The card characters in the game are all cute and cute in anime style. They look harmless to humans and animals, but don't let this appearance fool you. When I first started playing, I chose a little fox character who looked very cute, thinking it was a mascot. But once I entered the battle, she was able to beat the opponent to a semi-crimp with a set of combos. The contrast was really interesting. The game introduction says "fighting is fierce", this description is quite appropriate.
In terms of graphics, the card drawings are very exquisite. Each card has a high-definition original painting, and there are interactive easter eggs between the characters. For example, if you put two characters from the same series together, they will whisper before fighting. This kind of detail makes me, an old player, very touched. To be honest, many card games now focus on special effects and ignore this little fun. This game does it.
The combat system is a fairly standard turn-based system, but the focus is on the training system, which has a high degree of freedom. Hundreds of equipment and skill combinations can really make players have fun. I have tried the pure attack flow and the tank control flow. Each lineup has a different play style, and because the characters can freely cultivate their attributes, you can even go to extreme routes, such as forcibly stacking defensive characters into output monsters. Although actual combat may be difficult, the trial and error process itself is fun.
In terms of plot, to be honest, it was a bit cliche in the early stage, with the protagonist losing his memory and collecting fragments, etc. However, in the middle stage, the plot reversals in some dungeons were quite unexpected, especially the background story of the villain, which was written with flesh and blood. It can be seen that the planners have put a lot of effort into the plot.
But let's be honest, this kind of free game definitely has pitfalls. Although the paid mode is marked as 0, if you actually play it, you will find that some powerful characters and equipment still require krypton gold to obtain quickly. But the good news is that Zero Krypton Party is not completely useless, because there are quite a few channels for obtaining resources in the game. After completing daily tasks every day and adding various activities, you can slowly build up a decent lineup. I have seen several big guys with zero krypton income in the game, and they have prospered by relying on their skills and routines.
Arena and guild battles are the main points of play in the later stage. I haven't experienced much cross-server battles yet, but watching others fight, there is still some kind of strategy, and it is not just about fighting for strength. Moreover, everyone in the guild helps each other share the lineup, and the atmosphere is very good. It reminds me of the time when I played "Pokemon" online on Symbian. That kind of pure social feeling in games is really rare now.
Finally, let's talk about our feelings in the industry. Hainan Zhongcheng Interactive Entertainment has made several mobile games before, with mixed reviews, but this time with "Popular Animation Super Smash Bros.", I feel like they really put their heart and soul into it. It can be seen that they want to make a card game that is both beautiful and deep. Although it is still far from the top masterpiece, it is at least above the passing level among similar products.
If you are a player who likes mobile card games, is not averse to a little bit of fun, and can accept this cute fighting style, I suggest you download and try it. It's free anyway. Don't be dissuaded by the cute style of the opening animation. Once you play it, you will find that this game is indeed more exciting than you imagined. 😎
