I still remember when I was a child, I would grab the breakfast money I saved and go to the corner of the game store to pick out those yellow shell cassettes. The boss said, "This game "The Legend of Gods and Demons" is really fun. It has cards based on the Three Kingdoms theme." When I got home and plugged in Little Overlord, I found that the cover showed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and it was full of pixel villains hacking each other. But it was that simple "piracy flavor" that kept me going through countless nights in bed.
Now I open this version of "Legend of Gods and Demons" on my mobile phone. As soon as the swipe-screen combo comes out, I get goosebumps all over. The continuous slashing that caused the frame to drop in the cassette back then is now smooth and dynamic. The "swish, swish, swish" sound effect of one slash instantly brought me back to the summer when I was blowing a fan on the TV. To talk about the differences between the replicas, the original version was called "Continuously pressing keys depends on fate". Now it is directly controlled by sliding the screen, and the combos can be freely matched, and the strategy is even deeper. There are more than a hundred characters with skills and talents, which is more informative than the tattered manual I used to read.
Although I am playing a genuine mobile game now, my mind is filled with the three characters "Legend of Gods and Demons" that are crookedly pasted on the casing of the pirated cassette. The style of painting has changed into a Q version of the master's painting. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both chubby and much cuter than the mosaic back then. But the excitement of "surreptitiously passing the level" is exactly the same on the mobile phone. It seems that youth is not gone, it just keeps burning on another screen🔥
If you still remember those days when the cassette tape could not be read and you had to blow it, try this version. Old gameplay and new experience, with consecutive cuts in hand, we are still the little bully boy who refused to sleep.
