I usually watch too much KPL/LPL, and the threshold for competitive mobile games is actually quite picky. I recently tried "City Attack". I originally thought it was a reskin of a normal national war, but after playing it, I found that this game really has some potential in terms of competitive depth.
Let's talk about the core real-time combat first. It's not the kind that automatically hangs up to look at the values, but actually controls the positioning and timing of skills. The general's skills can be moved forward and back, and there is a lot of room for interruption and counterattack. It is very similar to the logic of seizing the opportunity to start a group in MOBA. Arrangement of troops is not just about setting up a formation. The restraint relationship between different arms is obvious. There are many decision-making points, whether to press the line in the early stage or to retreat in the later stage.
Let's talk about the macro level. Ten thousand people on the same screen may sound like a gimmick, but in fact the competition for map resources in a national war requires strong command coordination. Who gets the points first, who is responsible for pulling, and which wave of ultimate moves are exchanged for profit? These all need to be arranged before the game like KPL. The positions of famous players such as Diao Chan and Lu Bu are also different. Some prefer to enter the field to harvest, and some prefer to control the guarantor. The depth of the lineup is quite high.
Of course, competitive games cannot avoid balance. In the current version, the values of some generals are indeed strong, but this will depend on subsequent updates. As long as the planners are willing to adjust, the tactical pool of this game will become wider and wider, making the game more enjoyable to watch and allowing players to play more.
Anyway, I personally regard it as a potential stock. If the follow-up competition system is implemented, it may really become the next entertaining mobile game project. If you are interested, you can try it out together. 😏
