I still remember those days of hiding under the covers and playing "Golden Sun" with GBA. The screen is small, but the world is big. Later, I switched to PSP and became obsessed with the "Final Fantasy" series. My youth flowed through the characters and pixel scenery. Now that I'm working, my handheld computer has become dusty, but the emulator on my phone has become a time machine for me to relive my old dreams.
To be honest, I usually recommend old games in the simulator, but this time I tried "Searching for Immortals in the Sea of Clouds", and it actually felt a bit like the "hot and heady" kind of game it used to be. Don't get me wrong, it's not a replica of any classic IP, but the fairy tale flavor, coupled with the exquisite graphics that are rare in mobile games, reminds me of the “Ocean's Legend” I played on the NDS back then. The beautiful world dyed with ink and wash, now has a more gorgeous way to open it on the mobile screen.
What irritates me the most is that it retains the "freedom of trading" and "team up to complete levels" of old-school RPGs. As you know, many mobile games now have one-click hang-up and one-stop operation, which plays like automatic playback. But in "Search for Immortals in the Sea of Clouds", fashions, mounts, beauties are accompanied, and activities are fully scheduled. I suddenly regained the enthusiasm that "I must buy this equipment today" when I played "Monster Hunter" online with my classmates. Although the picture quality and gameplay have far surpassed those of the handheld games of the past, the joy of "immersing character development" really makes youth come back.
Of course, I have to say that it cannot compare with the original handheld game in terms of difficulty and plot depth, but it is like a cup of warm fairy brew, suitable for commuting, lying in bed before going to bed, rubbing the screen twice, playing a copy, and looking at the mountains, seas and clouds. For those of us who are old handheld gamers, it is already rare to have a world of cultivating immortals on our mobile phones that can make people calm down and relax😌.
Besides, the benefits of this game are generous enough. Novices are given a bunch of resources when they start, the trading line is free, and even ordinary players can play comfortably. I just like this kind of "you can have fun without krypton" routine, just like when the golden finger was opened, you could create full-level magical equipment at will! In short, if you also miss the RPG years when you develop slowly by yourself and look up at the scenery, you might as well find a corner in Yunhai Xunxian Ji, have a drink and discuss swords, maybe you can pick up the fairy sword you lost in your youth🍃.
