To be honest, as an old player who has been playing mobile games since the Symbian era, I feel quite emotional watching mobile games evolve from Pixel Snake to what it is today. In the past, I never dared to think that I could play this level of simulation game on my mobile phone. At that time, I felt very happy to be able to play Brick Arkanoid on the Java platform. Now I can actually experience the real gun assembly and shooting feel on my mobile phone. Hardware development is really fast.
Recently I have been playing the "Real Firearms Simulator", the one produced by Shenzhen Mingya Digital Entertainment. I was a little skeptical when I saw it was free at first. After all, there are too many krypton gold tricks in the mobile game market now, and it's easy to start with 648, but this one is really conscience, with zero fees and unlimited ammunition. You can experience it directly after entering. The modeling and sound effects of the firearms are quite good, especially in the assembly process. Each part can be disassembled for a closer look, which is very enjoyable for military fans. The recoil feedback and ballistic performance during shooting are considered to be the first echelon on the mobile phone.
Judging from industry trends, mobile games have actually been quietly diversifying in the past two years. On the one hand, major companies continue to pile up graphics and fight for IP, often claiming to be 3A-level mobile games, but in actual play, they use automatic pathfinding and one-click combat; on the other hand, simulation games in this vertical field are beginning to emerge. They do not pursue popular hits, but accurately serve a certain niche group. I think this is a good thing. After all, with the development of mobile games today, it is time to break away from the thinking of "everyone is playing it." A truly good game should be played happily by those who understand it, rather than making everyone feel mediocre.
In addition, the free model is not impossible, the key depends on how to balance it. The completely liberal approach of "Real Gun Simulator" makes people willing to take the initiative to understand the game content instead of being dissuaded by various recharge pop-up windows. To be honest, I have been disgusted by those mobile games that "play with your sister without paying money" in recent years. When encountering such a pure simulator, even if it only has a few dozen MB, it is worth playing seriously.
Finally, I would like to ask everyone, do you think mobile games in the future will be more focused on this small and beautiful simulation experience, or will they continue to take the large and comprehensive social competitive route? Personally, I hope to have both. After all, player needs are diversified. 😌 Anyway, I kept this game on my phone without deleting it, so I went in and touched two guns when I had nothing to do. It was quite a stress reliever.
