Thinking back then, we were all old bones who had come all the way from the Famicom. At that time, it would take half a day to play "Contra", and it would take a month to complete the game with one life. Later, there was a computer room, and a group of people crowded in front of a 15-inch big-ass monitor to play Age of Empires. They made farmers, quarried stones, and upgraded castles all night long. There were no mobile games at that time. Even Snake could enjoy playing them. 😂
What now? As soon as I take out my mobile phone, "King" and "Genshin Impact" are flying all over the place. The graphics are getting better and better, and the operations are getting more and more fancy. But to be honest, sometimes I always feel like something is missing. Maybe it's because he has to work hard to save enough resources and carry out sneak attacks secretly. After all, there was no voice back then, and all they had to do was shout "Your left, left! No! It's your right!" and dance with each other, which made winning or losing very exciting.
I was browsing the forum today and suddenly got a little excited when I saw this "Roman Empire". The name is quite straightforward, it talks about the empire. The official said that it can "relive the classic memories of the Empire Age". I thought, isn't this the youth meal replacement for us veteran players? The iron hoof presses the territory, the team battles with tens of thousands of people, and the cross-server competitions all make people's blood pressure soar. The key is that there is also real-time voice chat to tease girls? Haha, veteran drivers didn't have this benefit back then. At that time, you had to pass notes to chase a girl, but now you shout “Miss, save me” while fighting. Times have really changed. 😄
The game features mention "Various Formations" and "Extreme Strategy", which is quite to my liking. When I was playing "Age of Empires", I loved studying troop restraints, how archers could defeat infantry, and how cavalry could defeat archers. I even drew formation diagrams myself. Nowadays, you can play strategy games on mobile phones. You don't have to sit in front of the computer. You can wait for the bus or squat in the toilet with just two clicks. It's so convenient. But what does "click to install" mean? The veteran driver said he was a little confused, but it felt cool. He no longer had to wait for the progress bar for half a day like before.
The developer is a small company in Shangrao, and the charging model is marked with 0. I guess it is free download and in-app purchase? Nowadays, mobile games have this routine, but we veteran players also know that free is often the most expensive. But at least I can experience it first. If you do it carefully, you can support it with a little money. After all, these days, there are not many games that can make a greasy uncle like me feel nostalgic. 😎
To be honest, the gaming industry has changed too much from red and white consoles to mobile games. The graphics are getting more and more beautiful, and the gameplay is getting more and more complex, but the joy of figuring out details with friends, scolding the opponent, and being able to brag about it for a year after winning seems to be getting harder and harder to find. Can "Roman Empire" regain that feeling? I haven't tried it yet, but just reading this description makes me feel a little bit itchy. It is recommended to old guys who have also experienced the "Imperial Age", and young people are also welcome to experience what "Ye Qing Hui" means. 🙌
Okay, I'm ready to play the game. If it's fun, I'll come back and give you another blow; if it's a scam, just pretend I didn't post this. The veteran driver retreated and said goodbye! 👋
