The recent KPL Spring Split has been a joy to watch, especially the adjustment of mage equipment in the new version, which has made the pace of the mid lane much faster. Many teams have begun to try the magic stab system, and the confrontation has been significantly improved. As an observer who has been paying attention to mobile game e-sports, I am actually very interested in those "non-traditional MOBA" competitive modes, such as cross-server PK in MMORPG and wild BOSS competition. There are actually a lot of routines and tactics.
I happen to be playing the mobile game "Breaking Sky Sword" recently, which is an old IP ported from the classic PC game. To be honest, when I first started playing, I was worried about whether the balance of this old game would collapse. It turned out that the official had made a lot of optimizations in the professional values. The connection and restraint between the skills of the five major professions are very particular, and it is not a brainless one-shot. Moreover, systems such as "Tai Chi Ship" and "Star Guardian" actually require very high team coordination, especially in cross-server BOSS battles. Who controls first, who focuses fire, who protects and heals, positioning and timing all have to be calculated. It is as interesting as studying team battle moves when watching professional games.
Nowadays, many mobile games have simplified the operations too much in order to lower the threshold, but "The Sky-breaking Sword" retains the hard-core PK feel of the classic PC game. There are forward swings and judgment ranges for skill release, and there is also room for operation when blocking and dodging. This makes me, an old e-sports fan, very comfortable. If the official can organize a cross-server team competition in the future, or introduce a points system similar to KPL, I think the viewing quality will definitely not be inferior to that of MOBA - after all, the martial arts confrontation with real swords and guns will have a stronger visual impact and the tactical game will be more intuitive.
Of course, this game is still focused on PVE and social aspects, and it will take time to become e-sports. But if you've been itching to watch games recently and want to find a martial arts world where you can compete with others and have fun together as brothers, you might as well give it a try. After all, there are really not many opportunities to experience "client-level team battle games" in mobile games😎.
