Hey, I browsed to the movie and TV fan section, and at my age, I suddenly want to play games. Nowadays, there are games with hundreds of gigabytes and "next generation" and "open world" games. The graphics look awesome, but as you play, you always feel like something is missing. You young kids may not know this. Think back to my time when a red and white cassette was loaded with dozens of kilobytes. A few guys would squeeze in front of the TV and spend the whole night together. That was a lot of fun 🎮
I was browsing on the App Store that day, and suddenly I saw a game called "Four-Eyed Little Devil", which was only a few dozen megabytes. I thought, are there such "small" games these days? Click in and take a look, hey, it's a Western fantasy-themed role-playing game, and you can even play in a team. My first reaction was: Isn't this what "Diablo" was like back then? It's just that there were no smartphones at that time. We were all connected all night long in Internet cafes, and it was a local area network. Even if we shouted “Nanny, add blood”, we would have to stretch our necks and shout 🔥
To be honest, after playing games for so many years, from Famicom to Saturn, from PS2 to Steam, the game graphics are now better and the map is ridiculously big, but where is the fun? When you open the game, it's all about automatic path finding and one-click sweeping. Playing alone feels like going to work, and playing online feels like social pressure. But the game "Four-Eyed Little Devil" reminds me of the pure joy I felt at the beginning - you have to really cooperate with your teammates, positioning, skills, and pulling monsters. Without any one of them, you can't get through. At that time, we would form a wild team, add friends after playing, and they would become close buddies over time. Unlike now, adding friends is just to give each other energy 😂
To put it bluntly, the dungeons and missions in the game allow you to get to know people and become stronger together. This reminds me of the days when I used to play "Legend". If you shout in an Internet cafe before a siege, half of the people in the Internet cafe will follow you. What now? It's a 3A masterpiece worth tens of gigabytes. I haven't even bothered to open my friends list after playing it for a month. So you ask, is the game getting bigger, or are we getting lonely?
Anyway, I plan to retire in "Four-Eyed Little Devil". It's free anyway and doesn't take up much space. Friends who want to get back the feeling of teaming up to buy equipment and chatting about water can give it a try next time. Don't think it has a crude graphics. When you really play it, it feels right 👴
