Let me start with a good thing, I did "discover" a game. It's just that it's completely opposite to what the title wants me to say. This is a beautifully packaged reply that I stepped on when I was digging for gold in the garbage. This is "Legend of Demons and Gods", produced by Shanghai Yilian Network Technology Co., Ltd. Well... when I hear this name, I feel like the web game manufacturer changed its vest ten years ago to make money.
Look at this promotion, my dear, it has all the elements: "Classic of Sadomasochism Fairy Tales", "Sound Monster Sings Theme Song", "One Person, Multiple Favors", "Cross-Server Gang War", "Master, I Can't Beat This Weird QAQ"... Oh my God, this is not a game introduction, this entire collection of old man's emoticons + a collection of earthy love stories🤢
It's not like I can't talk about indie games. As a die-hard stand-alone gamer, to be honest, I really don't reject the fairy tale genre. I even pre-ordered Black Myth. I played through Ancient Sword Three twice, and I could play Legend of the Heluo Family for three days and three nights. But you have to have a skeleton as a game, right?
I clicked on "The Legend of Demons and Gods" to experience it. The opening animation was quite intimidating, with a bright and fairy-like atmosphere. As soon as I entered the battle, my dear, it is commonly known as the Q version of the turn-based system. It is actually the product of the re-skinned assembly line of "turn-based dot-dot + automatic battle + ten consecutive draws" ten years ago. The character modeling is as rough as a paper man, and the movements are as stiff as a PPT playback. To guide the task, you can find the path and hang up with one click. I really doubt that the target audience of this game does not need eyes and brains at all.
Oh, by the way, this game also has an "innovation" - a built-in voice to call the master. If you recognize a master in the game, it is really a "shout" in the literal sense. If you shout into the microphone, "Master, I can't beat this weird QAQ", your master can hear it and form a team to guide you. How can I put it, this function is really like a "social horror hell simulator". As a lone wolf player, the most annoying thing about playing a single-player game is being forced to socialize. As a result, in this game, I have to engage in voice chat with the "master and apprentice". I might as well open QQ and find a netizen to shout daddy.
Let's talk about the charging model again, which is written as “0”. Haha, free games are the most expensive, this is an eternal truth. There are so many krypton gold entrances in the game, such as limited-time gift packs, double first deposit, monthly and weekly cards, that it almost looks like "Get out of the Six Realms, poor man" is written on your face. Arenas, gang wars, cross-server PK, to put it bluntly, it is a Shura field where you spend money on attributes. If you charge 100,000, you will be an immortal, if you charge 100, you will be an ant on the ground. This so-called "conquering the six realms" actually conquers you in your wallet.
To be honest, if you really want to experience the world of Xianxia, you might as well go to Steam and spend dozens of dollars to buy "Searching for Immortality", or try "Guigu Bahuang". Although the graphics are not top-notch, at least you can truly experience every step of the training process from the Qi training period to the ascension of great power. That is what you play by yourself, rather than relying on physical strength to brush up your base and relying on top-up studs to build up the fake combat power of the sky.
I thought about the title of this post for a while, and since it's called “Sharing the Journey of Discovering Indie Games,” I'll post it as an unlucky treasure hunt story to keep everyone entertained. By the way, I'd like to remind all mobile game planners: Stop messing around with “Cute Girls' New Social Network” and “Cross-Server Gang War,” because your version has really been out of date for ten years. Even if you upgrade the picture quality and hire a better screenwriter to write a more serious and less retarded script, I will still look up to you.
All I can say about "The Legend of Demons and Gods" is that you can cut consumers' leeks, but can you not write the promotional copy like a pig-killing plate? It is also sadistic. After playing it, I only felt sadistic and not in love at all.
Okay, I'm going to play my "Ori 2", that's called a game. Goodbye~😎
