Originally, when I saw the "post-apocalyptic survival" label, I rejected it in my heart. After all, the romance of this otaku is about the paper doll wife and the glowing Sailor Moon. but! yes! The moment I clicked on it and saw the opening animation, my pupils immediately trembled - this wasteland aesthetic is so awesome! ! The neon signs in the ruins, the cherry blossom petals falling in the zombie wave, and the silver-haired woman holding a rocket launcher in one hand in the dusk, the vertical paintings directly danced crazily on my XP! 🎨
That's right, I'm one of those superficial gamers who "if the style of painting is wrong, no matter how good the plot is, it will be in vain". But every card in "Ace War" (oh no, every character illustration) looks like it was taken out of a Shinkai Makoto movie. Even the zombies have a sense of design. They are not the kind of green-skinned monsters that can be fooled casually, but "eroded old friends" with a bit of cyberpunk tone. I even want to write a fanfic for them...
As for fighting? unimportant! Anyway, I gave it away in the first three minutes😅. But the most amazing thing about this game is that even if you stay in an abandoned gas station and listen to gunshots in the distance and watch the sun sink into the ruins little by little, you will feel that lonely feeling of "only me and my little pistol are left in the world", coupled with the faint sound of piano in the background music, you will inexplicably feel the sadness of Shinji walking on the beach in the final chapter of "EVA" - yes, I left it for the BGM!
The seiyuu also directly became a god! The commander who always coldly shouts "Stay vigilant" on the radio. When the voice comes out, my ears immediately get pregnant - after checking, it turns out to be the one who voices Ninja in "Demon Slayer"! Every time she complained about me "gaining someone else's head again", I couldn't help but reply "Sorry, I'll try again next time". This is the ecstasy of double chefs! ✨
Although this hamster-type player likes to pick up garbage, build houses, and paint the walls pink, every time he is chased by the boss in a helicopter, he will think of the two cuties in "Girls' Last Journey" - ah, the end of the world is so desperate and romantic! In short, this game has cured my electronic ED. Now I touch zombies' heads online every day (not) and listen to the commander curse (not even). It has become my spiritual food this season.
In short, if you also love wasteland aesthetics, voice control, plot parties, or simply want to experience "being a beautiful salted fish in the doomsday" - "Ace Wars" is really worth a rush! After all, if you have a good painting style, you can do whatever you want! 💖
