I still remember the days when I was hiding in bed and secretly playing GBA when I was a child. The screen was only a little big, but it could fit the entire Journey to the West. The tower defense games at that time were as simple as just a few turrets, but just watching the little monkeys fight monsters could make you excited all night. Now when I open "Tower Defense Journey to the West" on my mobile phone, my goodness, this picture quality directly brings back my youth! ✨
To be honest, the difference between the modern replica version and those classic tower defense games of the past is really big. In the past, we played pixel buns, but now the screen is full of Q version of fairy generals, and the special effects of skills are so blinding. But don't think this is just a reskinned game. Its level design is really thoughtful. Five Elements Mountain, Gao Laozhuang, Flame Mountain... Each level corresponds to the plot of Journey to the West. You can reminisce about your childhood while setting up defenses. This kind of immersion is something that the black and white screen could not provide back then.
The most interesting thing is that it actually has a fairy alliance social system. Back then, when we played stand-alone tower defense, we would just set up the tower alone. Now we can chat with netizens in real time and copy each other's homework. If we can't beat you, just call the boss and take him away. This experience is simply luxurious for experienced players😭
Of course, I have to be fair. The hard-core operation of classic games such as "pressing the arrow keys with one finger" can no longer be found. But the mobile game version makes the strategy more sophisticated, the enemy routes are more complex, and the skills of the immortal generals are more micro-managed. When it is fired up, it is really no worse than the arcade halls of the past.
Finally, let's talk about the charging model. This game is actually free! Back then, I had to save up for a week's worth of breakfast money just to buy a pirated cassette, but now I can start playing with zero threshold. Why don't you hurry up and have a blast of memories?
Anyway, I have already recruited all my disciples into the Immortal League. I go online every day to set up a few rounds of towers, and then chat with the league. These days are a bit fun. Youth is not gone, it just changes to another screen and continues to burn🔥
