Let's get down to business. The game I've been playing recently, Tomb Raider Online, has brought me back a little bit of the feeling I had playing Dungeon Hunter and Order and Chaos all night long. Don't look at the screens of modern mobile games that look like movies, but in terms of the immersion of “getting into the screen to grab gold and fight”, this game really has the soul of an old-school MMORPG.
The beginning is the classic "Golden Captain" coming down the mountain. As soon as the blood amber and black crystal items came out, all I could think about was the time I hid in bed watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the middle of the night. To be honest, the modeling of the Forbidden Woman and Blood Corpse in the game really shocked me when I first encountered it. The green dark light coupled with the sound effects made it feel much better than some of the current idle cards. 😂
What surprised me the most was the depth of coordination in team battles. It's not just a mindless stance to use skills. Someone has to step on the trap, someone has to block the tide of corpses, and someone has to count the time when the fat man loses health and throw the medicine pack. Yesterday, I played the Ghost King version with some old guys and destroyed it three times. In the end, I relied on a single person wearing a straw hat to lead the way. The feeling was, ugh, the same as when I started a copy of "Tower of Eternity" ten years ago.
The charging mode is 0, which must be praised. Nowadays, there are games on the market that are labeled as free, but they are all red dot traps. This one is better. The materials for upgrading equipment basically rely on mining and gold mining. Except for monthly cards and appearance, the values are basically not locked. It's not a boast, it's just that I'm really passionate about it, so I paid up my monthly card to support it.
Let's talk about nostalgia. I remember that in 2012, I played a JAVA game called "Tomb Robber: Touching the Golden Captain" with my Nokia E63. It had a pixelated screen and combos all relied on keyboard rhythm, but the cramped feeling of the hole and the pressure of the zombies made me sweat under the desk. I played "Tomb Robber OL" today. The moment I walked into the bronze door following the plot at the beginning, I vaguely smelled the smell of chalk dust in the classroom that year.
Times have changed, and the game has changed from a nine-square grid to a full screen, but the curiosity about the unknown and the awe of the underground world have actually never changed. This game is not perfect, with occasional loading lags, and the chat channel has some people selling cheats by swiping the screen, but at least it makes me, an old guy, willing to make a cup of strong tea on weekend nights and sit quietly for two hours. 🍵
Okay, without further ado, let's continue touching my black crystal. There is a brother who downloaded the book together. His ID in the game is "touch Jin Xiaowei Lao Zhang". I see him and say hello.
