Hey, fellow young heroes, I'm an old driver and I'm here to post again. I just saw this recommendation of "Young Knight" and almost dropped my reading glasses - ink Chinese style? Put it on AFK? Isn't this a combination of my youthful martial arts dream and my current middle-aged health needs? 🤣
I remember back then, when we were playing Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes, in order to practice wild ball boxing, we had to press the keyboard furiously at the screen, and my hands cramped. There were no smartphones at that time. I used a big-ass monitor and sat there for three or four hours. My mother scolded me, "You might as well marry a computer." It's better for you now, just lie on the bed and click your fingers, while the character practices and fights monsters by himself. What is this called? This is called "technological liver protection"! 🫡
Talking about this game, the ink painting style reminds me of the ink title of the old version of Sword of Sword, which is called a charm. Nowadays, new games are often AAA masterpieces. The graphics are good, but they always feel like they are missing a little bit of a quaintness. The pixel style of this game has a bit of ink flavor, but it has a sense of intimacy from ancient martial arts RPGs, just like when I played Legend of Heroes on 386. Although the picture is rough, the dream of being a knight in my heart is real.
What makes me most comfortable as a middle-aged person are the four words "hang up". You can catch fish at work, pick up the vegetables after get off work, and be the boss even while squatting in the toilet - isn't this the life our generation is pursuing? Without using liver or krypton, a Buddhist can be a hero. Who would have dared to think before? When I was playing online games, I couldn't even get into the dungeon without staying up late to level up. Now that I think about it, I am so young and can really mess around. 😅
Of course, the core gameplay of the game is definitely different from 20 years ago, but the core is still the martial arts we are familiar with: apprenticeships, adventures in rivers and lakes, and sects competing for hegemony. It's just that it used to be a manual version, but now it's an automatic. It is recommended that young players give it a try and experience the happiness of your old uncle back then - the happiness of not having to stay up late! 👴👍
