As a hard-working office worker, the most luxurious time every day is the half hour on the subway and the 20 minutes spent squatting at work during lunch break to catch fish. I have played many strategy games in the past. Either the game will make you mad at the beginning, or it will make you doubt your life. It wasn't until my colleague played "End of Troubled Times" last week that I discovered that the National War mobile game can be so suitable for us workers!
Let's talk about time management first. This game understands us best. When I was squeezing the subway in the morning, I went online to collect a dish, clicked twice on city construction, and sent the generals out to hang up. It was basically done in one song. At noon, I would eat takeout while watching the National War. When large troops gathered, I would follow them. If I had no time, I would continue farming and develop. I would not waste my lunch break and sleep on my stomach for ten minutes. Work overtime until nine o'clock at night? Don't panic, the key activities only start after ten o'clock in the evening. You can catch the last train even if you get home and lie down. It's so considerate that you want to add chicken legs to the plan🍗
What surprises me the most is its painting style. Other games like Three Kingdoms are all about realistic muscular men, but this game has a hand-drawn graffiti style! The military commanders are all cute and cute, Cao Cao and Zhang Fei are just like emojis, which makes you feel relieved just by looking at them. But don't underestimate it just because the painting style is cute. There is a lot of depth in the strategy inside, and there are many ways to control arms, formations, and strategies. Players like us who have fragmented time don't have to compete with kryptonians for hand speed. We can develop city construction steadily and find the right opportunity to steal a city and still have fun.
I have been playing for a week now, and I have invested no more than an hour in total every day. I have already joined a very active legion. The big guys lead the way, and I am responsible for cheering and finishing. Many people in the guild are also office workers, and everyone has a tacit understanding to use their lunch break and evening off work time to play national wars. The group will also remind each other, "It's time to retreat, don't get beaten up." 😂 This rhythm is really just right. It doesn't make people feel kidnapped by the game, but it can also experience the excitement of tens of thousands of people sharing the same screen.
To be honest, many games these days are eager to tie you online 24 hours a day, but "Endgame" rarely gives us workers some breathing space. Even if you just click twice while squatting, you can feel like you are tossing in troubled times with those brothers. Log off when you are tired and fight again tomorrow. It will be there quietly waiting for you to come back. How nice.
Finally, I would like to give a word to my brothers who are also social animals: As for games, happiness is the most important thing, don't let it become a second job. You can really try this one, maybe you will find your own happiness in fishing ~ By the way, remember to turn on the power saving mode to avoid your phone getting too hot and being discovered by your boss (you know, everyone knows) 🙃
