I still remember the days when I was in high school, hiding in bed with the lamp on and playing "Fire Emblem" with the GBA. At that time, in order to practice the role, I repeatedly brushed pictures until two o'clock in the morning. I was very sleepy in class the next day, but I felt happy. Later, when I went to college, I played "Final Fantasy Tactics" on the PSP. Although the screen was small, the strategic fun was really great.
I recently came across a mobile game called "Battlefield Hero Story" in the App Store. I didn't have high hopes. After all, mobile games nowadays are all about drawing cards and adding krypton gold. But after clicking in and playing for a while, I found that it had the flavor of a stand-alone SRPG back then! Although the plot is a bit mid-range, with a hairy heroine and a sinister sniper queen, it is exactly the kind of energy I liked when I was young. The level design and difficulty also make me dream back to the classic mode of "Fire Emblem". You can't crush it by just leveling up. You have to calculate your position and skills at every step, and you have to start over if you make a mistake.
What surprises me the most is that it has no mandatory Internet connection or physical limitations. You can stop whenever you want and play whenever you want. It's as free as playing handheld consoles back in the day. I was lying in bed at four o'clock in the morning, listening to the BGM in my headphones, pushing it up and down, and suddenly my nose felt sore. The best friends who discussed "who is the strongest character" all those years ago have now gone their separate ways, but the passion and excitement in the game can still be found on mobile phones.
To be honest, the pace of life today is too fast, and most games are fast food. Occasionally, you can encounter such a mobile game that focuses on strategy. It's like when you were young and suddenly pulled up a chair and sat in front of you and said: "Hey, do you still remember those battles we fought together?"😭
If you are also an old player from the GBA and PSP era and like the kind of SRPG that requires using your brain instead of pure krypton gold, you might as well try this "Battlefield Hero Story". The youth of our generation may be hidden in those reversal moments of "almost total annihilation".
