Dear friends, this two-dimensional otaku is here again! Today we won't talk about love stories or different worlds. Let's talk about a domestic tomb robbing themed game called “Tomb Robbery OL”.
To be honest, I rejected this game title when I first saw it. After all, as a two-dimensional otaku, our impression of "digging" is still in "JoJo" where Erqiao digs oil... Oh, just kidding. But I have a bad friend who can't stand it. Tiantian Anli said that the characters of the forbidden lady and the bloody corpse brother in this game are amazing.
So in the spirit of "it's not worth it anyway", I clicked on the download. Guess what? As soon as I entered the interface, I was struck by the atmosphere. The dark underground palace, the flickering green light, the kind of underworld filter that the "Tomb Sect" should have, is not a cheap thriller, but an elegant horror with mysterious oriental aesthetics. I originally thought that the whole screen would be filled with "Where did the greasy senior sister go?", but it turned out that the official hand-drawn style was quite right.
As a graphic artist, the first thing I pay attention to is of course the character card. The design of the Ghost King here, I directly used it as an avatar. It's so handsome! Its semi-rotten bones and the texture of Higanbana flowers remind me of the modeling ideas of those monsters in "Natsume's Book of Friends" - not purely scary, but with a sad beauty. There is also the Forbidden Woman, who is obviously supposed to be a terrifying BOSS, but she is painted like the darkened Sister Yingu from "The Insect Master". She is cold and depressing. This wave of art team adds chicken legs!
Let's talk about the plot again. I'm not going to brag about it, and the copywriting team is probably very knowledgeable. It doesn't adhere to big IPs like “Tomb Robber Notes” or “Ghost Blowing Lantern”, but the legends and underground palace stories in this game have the original wildness of the “Tomb Robber Universe”. From blood amber to red lotuses and green lotuses, there is a small piece of dark history behind each treasure. It feels like watching a suspense mystery series. Especially when I got excited and unlocked the Black Crystal file later, I got goosebumps all over my body. The tone of the story was a bit middle-aged and a bit tragic, which made me want to keep watching.
Of course, I know that many people are discussing the restoration of "whose IP?" Let's just say that there are many games with anime IPs on the market now. When you go in and take a look, except for the name and face, everything else is just a skin-drawing card set, and the voice actors only have a few lines coming and going. That is really heartbreaking! We old two-dimensional people like the depth of the plot, and we go crazy when we encounter that kind of restoration. In contrast, the clever thing about "Tomb Robbers OL" is that it does not rely on the IP, but chooses an original plot and uses the general concept of "grave robbers", which allows for freer expression.
Although the battle system... to be honest, I just hang up and press random buttons, so that's not what I care about anyway. I prefer to watch our young team running around in the underground palace, accompanied by the eerie background sound effects, imagining that I am exploring the secrets with them. This kind of immersion is not something I recognize just because of the luxurious cast of voice actors, but because the atmosphere is on point, the plot is not overwhelming, and the illustrations are beautiful. This is already winning in my heart!
Recently, I have been addicted to collecting various blood corpse illustrations. When I look at those "collections", my mind automatically explodes with images, as if I have become a boy who has been selected to make a contract, and I have to have a fateful showdown with them! Oh, by the way, does anyone form a team to paint the red lotus and green lotus pictures together? Remember to leave a hole, my nanny is sneaky! Just lie down and I'll take you flying! ✌️
In short, sisters and brothers, if you are a graphic artist, plot oriented, and like the feeling of "trembling gracefully", I highly recommend giving this game a try. Maybe you will be the next destiny-touching Golden Colonel! That's it, I'm going to post with Miss Jinpo! 👻💖
