I think there were no smartphones at that time. We and I were crowded together in an Internet cafe. A "Legend" client only had a few hundred megabytes. After downloading it, we started playing it directly. We defeated monsters and won the verdict for a month. It's good now, new games start with 100G, and the picture is indeed so high-definition that you can count the strands of hair, but when I play it, I always feel like I am watching a movie, my fingers are sore, but my heart is empty.
Last night I had nothing to do and was browsing Tap. I saw this "Light of the Dragon God". I originally thought it was another reskin game, but when I looked at the introduction - three professions of classic combat magic, a combined attack version, all equipment depends on fighting, free trading... My dear, isn't this what we used to stay up late to play Zuma? When I downloaded it, it only took a few gigabytes, and I instantly felt like I was reunited with an old friend.
I went in and played for two hours. The picture was indeed much clearer than in my memory, and the impact was not as good as it was in my hand, but the lively atmosphere of "brothers hacking together" was really not lost. At first I thought the new gadgets like Twin Martial Souls and Demon God's Advent were too fancy, but it didn't seem out of place once I started using them. The equipment explosion rate was also real, and every mob would drop something. It's not like some games nowadays that only give you a few attribute fragments after half a day of playing.
What moved me the most was the "violent power" system. Once the attack speed and critical strike were launched, the sword was filled with sparks. In a trance, I really thought that I was the most vicious hacker in the Internet cafe back then. Of course, now that I'm old, my fingers can't keep up with my brain, but at least this game doesn't force me to spend money to enjoy it, and I can slowly grind out equipment with zero money.
To be honest, it's not that today's games are bad, it's that our mentality is old. But "Light of the Dragon God" at least allowed me to regain a little bit of the sense of solidity I had ten years ago when "you open the game and you have something to do". If you are tired of those glamorous masterpieces, why not try this one? The size is only a few gigabytes, and you will feel like reliving your old dreams. 🤔
