I still remember that summer, hiding in bed and secretly turning on the backlight of the SP, the excitement when I finished "Golden Sun", and the days when Zack died in "Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core" on the PSP and cried like a dog. At that time, a pirated cassette could be played dozens of times, and the location of every treasure chest on the map could be memorized by heart.
Today I happened across the Phantom version of "Mirror Story" with a 0.05% discount. I originally thought it was an ordinary mobile game to cheat people, but after playing it, my youth seemed to be back🎮 Although I can only enjoy it on my mobile phone with a game emulator, the familiarity of the turn-based strategy RPG really reminded me of the time I played "Fire Emblem" on the GBA.
Let's talk about your feelings. This game has completely subverted the classic characters of Snow White and the dwarfs. The blackened Snow White is carrying a big sword, and the dwarfs have become cunning businessmen. The plot reversal is quite interesting. Compared with the serious fairy tale adaptations on the GBA back then, such as the funny style of "Mario and Luigi RPG", this one is darker, a bit like "Kingdom Hearts" where Disney characters are played badly.
What surprises me the most is the "no waste card setting" - every partner can be matched with attribute restraints. This reminds me of when I was playing "Pocket Monsters" on the NDS, and my obsession to pass the level with a giant butterfly 💪 Now you can play like this in mobile games, all characters can be practiced, and you don't have to use those so-called magic cards.
Moreover, this game has a built-in 10x accelerator and idle system, which is simply designed for office workers like us. I still remember when I was playing "Golden Sun", I had to manually level up in a corner of a maze in order to get a rare equipment until my fingers got sore. Now you can hang up and free up your hands. You can pick it up at any time to push the main line. When you are tired of brushing, you can just put it there and play automatically. When you get home from work, you will see that it is fully equipped with level equipment and is comfortable.
Compared to the original handheld game, the biggest difference is of course the graphics. Although the pixel style of GBA back then was classic, the resolution was there after all. The character drawings in this game are much more detailed, and the skill special effects are also gorgeous, but to be honest, I still prefer the bitmap texture, which has an indescribable feeling. After playing the mobile phone simulator too much, I feel that the high-definition picture lacks a bit of "inner flavor"😄
The charging mode is 0 yuan, and the 0.05% discount version is really conscience, and you can play it comfortably without paying any money. Unlike the old days when D merchants had to spend tens of dollars to buy pirated copies of the game, now it is just a casual hang-up game. I take it out every day before going to bed and brush the levels, as if I have regained the feeling of hiding under the quilt and secretly playing the game.
If you also miss those days when you were with GBA, PSP, and NDS, you might as well try this. After all, there are really not many games that can rekindle the enthusiasm of us old handheld gamers. Youth never ends, it just continues in a different way. ✨
