I'm not going to brag about it, but what impresses me most about this game is the rough energy of the “turbulent times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty”. After entering, there was no fancy novice guidance. It was just the shabby red scarf military uniform of Zhu Yuanzhang under Yingtian City. He was followed by a few old brothers Tang He and Xu Da. The sound of horses neighing and the sound of clashing weapons mixed together, which instantly took me back to that era of war. 😭 Those of us old players who have been playing since the Saipan era have seen too many card skin changes, automatic path finding, and one-click sweeps. It is really emotional to suddenly encounter such a work that is willing to work hard on creating an atmosphere.
In terms of gameplay, I originally thought it was just an ordinary siege of cities and territories, but I found that it made the "historical turning point" node particularly immersive. For example, in the battle at Poyang Lake, you did not have to mindlessly pile up troops. Instead, you had to consider the wind direction, fire attack, and the layout of the water fortress. You also had to guard against a sneak attack from the side by Chen Youliang's 600,000 navy troops. At that time, I restarted three times before I could barely stabilize my position. I couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy for the ancients to fight! 😤
But to be honest, the game is not without its shortcomings. The early pace is a little slow, and some main tasks are a bit repetitive. But as a free game, it has stable servers, no compulsory krypton fees, and civilians can slowly accumulate good generals, which is already rare. I still remember that we used to enjoy playing several KB games on the Symbian machine. Now this picture and special effects are already dreamlike.
By the way, the military rank system and multi-player joint combat mode also really impressed me. Forming a five-person team, one person leads a team of troops, and when we work together, it really feels like "recovering the country". Last night, I and several brothers pushed me from Yuandadu to Beiyuan's lair. No one complained about sleepiness until three o'clock in the morning. I haven't had this passionate feeling for a long time.
Finally, I have to say something from my heart. After playing games for so many years, from Snake to console masterpieces, and experiencing the ups and downs of the entire industry, there are not many domestic mobile games that can make me, an old player, willing to stay up late. "The Founding Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" is considered one. 👍 Not bragging, I recommend it to those who like hardcore strategy and have a passion for history. Maybe you can find the feeling of the past. See you in the Red Scarf Army! 🥁
