To be honest, when I saw Tianlong 3D's Chinese New Year expansion pack, my first reaction was not to see how generous the rewards were, but to be stunned for a few seconds. I remember the days when I used Nokia N73 to play the Symbian version of Tianlong, the pixel-quality Qiao Feng, the stuck copy of Shaoshishan, and myself hiding in bed in the middle of the night secretly playing the Zhenlong chess game. After so many years, mobile games have evolved like this, and I suddenly felt a little emotional.
To be fair, there is indeed something special about this New Year celebration. The Chonglou set is back, and this one really poked me. Veteran players all know the status of heavy building equipment in the era of PC games. It is something that can only be touched by standing at the top of the server. Nowadays, the classic is reappearing in mobile games. Although it is certainly not a complete replica, it has the right taste. The customized copies for the Spring Festival are also made to suit the occasion, and are full of New Year flavor.
As for the game itself, it is officially authorized by Jin Yong and developed by Changyou in-house. The basics are there. 150 million registered users is not a guarantee, which shows that the gameplay of this martial arts RPG can still stand the test of time. Daily tasks, gang battles, field bosses, everything is available, and after so many years of operation, the content accumulation is indeed profound. Novices will have a good time playing it, and veteran players will find a familiar feeling when they return.
The key is that the benefits this time are quite substantial. In the New Year celebration, the rewards from various activities are stacked up, and the Zero Krypton Party can also have a good year. The charging mode is 0, which is the kind of free download with in-app purchases. Those who want to spend money can still play it, and those who don't want to spend it can play it without forcing krypton.
I know that the mobile game market is very busy right now, and there are always open worlds, metaverses, and the like. But to be honest, sometimes I just want a game that is honest about martial arts, so that you can easily get started and still have the feeling of the past. Tianlong 3D may not be the most amazing one, but it is definitely the one that understands veteran players best.
If you have spent all night brushing equipment in an Internet cafe, if you have studied for a long time for a sect skill, if you still remember the friends you met in the game in those years, then I think you can take advantage of this New Year event to come back and have a look. The game is still the same world, but the young people back then have had their edges smoothed away by life. But it doesn't matter, at least here, we can be heroes again.
