Let's talk about the background first. I am considered an old gamer. I have been playing mobile games since the Saipan era. I have basically played all the Java versions of Tian Long Ba Bu and Legend of Sword and Fairy, and the subsequent wave of mobile games. The mobile game market has changed too fast in recent years. The graphics have become more and more gorgeous, but the gameplay has become more and more routine. It is always about drawing cards, making money, and doing one-stop daily routine. To be honest, I am really a bit tired of aesthetics.
But the game "Chivalry 2" allows me to regain a little bit of the feeling of playing PC games on the computer.
First of all, what attracts me most about this game is its free trading system. To be honest, there are really not many mobile games on the market that still insist on fully opening up player transactions. Most of them restrict transactions, bind props, and sell materials in the official mall. This game is different. Equipment can be bought and sold freely, and the materials, blueprints, and mounts obtained can be directly traded with players for money. Equipment will retain its value, which is very important. If you invest time in brushing and maintaining equipment, it will not depreciate overnight because of version updates. It is really friendly to civilian players.
Let's talk about the combat system of this game. A real-time role-playing online game, there is no fancy automatic battle and hang-up to the end. You need to manually operate the position and skill, and pay attention to the timing. Each of the eight sects in the two camps has its own characteristics, including melee bursts, remote field control, and healing assistance. Each sect also has unique skill combos. It was the first time I went to a gang war with people in a gang. The moment we formed a team and rushed to the city gate shouting slogans, I really felt like I was fighting a gang war with my brothers in an Internet cafe.
There is also a rich mount development system in the game, which is more user-friendly. Not only the attribute bonus, but more importantly, the design of sharing the ride with the beautiful people. I remember that the rumors in Jianghu said that "bringing the beautiful girls together, you will be proud of the world." In actual play, you can ride a horse with your friends or romantic partners. When running the map, it feels like a Jianghu movie. The appearance of the mount will also change after it is raised. Some mounts are particularly popular after mutation. If you take them to the main city for a stop, they will have a 100% return rate.
By the way, there is also a cross-server battlefield. Although this gameplay is now available in many games, the cross-server battlefield of "Chivalry 2" - the fierce battle in Xiangyang, really requires teamwork to play. It's completely different from your usual battles in this server. In the cross-server battlefield, you will encounter top players from other servers. You have to report to your teammates, focus fire, defend the back row, grab occupations, and grab resources. One wrong step may lead to a comeback. The feeling of sweaty palms after a fight made me, an old guy, dream back to those sleepless nights in my college dormitory.
Finally, let's talk about the picture style. Frankly speaking, the painting style of this game is not particularly stunning. It does not have ultra-high-definition modeling like those 3D masterpieces, but the art style has a martial arts charm, and the scene design is not inconsistent. The landscapes, towns, and wilderness all have that antique Jianghu feel. Moreover, the optimization has been done well. The mobile phone does not get hot when playing, and the frame rate is relatively stable. This is worthy of praise.
The paid mode is written with 0, which is a free game. There must be an in-app purchase mall in the game, which is standard for domestic online games, but as far as my actual experience is concerned, zero-Krypton players and micro-Krypton players can still play it as long as they are willing to play. The free trading mechanism plays a big role here. The equipment resources you spend time to acquire can be sold to rich people, and the currency you earn can be used to buy what you need, forming a virtuous cycle. Unlike some games, you can't even complete daily tasks without spending money.
Overall, "Chivalry 2" is a martial arts mobile game that surprised me a bit. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for a game with such an old-school name, but after playing it, I found that the production team was really working hard on the content, restoring the sense of rivers and lakes and brotherhood of the PC games back to the mobile phone to a certain extent.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but if you're looking for a mobile game that allows you to play gangsters, fight, conquer cities and territories with your friends, and be self-sufficient in making money to maintain an account, and you like the martial arts atmosphere of gratification and revenge, then “Chivalry 2” is definitely worth a try.
Not to mention, my gang will have a siege at eight o'clock tonight. I have to prepare for the battle. I will update the battle report when I win and come back!
In a sentence: The world is not far away, brothers are still there, draw your swords and fight! 😎👊
