I think there were no smartphones at that time. I saved up breakfast money for three months just to go to the game arcade and play "Three Kingdoms". Later, I borrowed money to buy a Little Overlord, plugged in the yellow cassette, and played it all night long. There was no recharge entrance at that time. If you lost, you would "please put in your coins." If you won, you would have fun for a long time. Fast forward more than thirty years, and now I am holding my mobile phone and scrolling through it. To be honest, there are not many mobile games that can make me, an old man, calm down and play, but this "The Legend of Cao Cao in Troubled Times", hey, it really makes me feel like I did back then! 😎
Let's talk about the gameplay first. It's a turn-based game. Doesn't it sound very retro? Right! Today's young people may think this operation is too "old-fashioned", but our older generation of players just do this! You can step on landmines and encounter enemies while walking. When you encounter monsters, you can enter into battle. You can press a row of commands. What matters is strategy, not mindless automatic combat. This has a good taste, just like the Laotan pickled cabbage, the more you taste it, the more flavorful it becomes. Especially when encountering enemy generals, you have to figure out whether to use basic attacks to build up anger or directly enlarge the attack to control the field. This is much more brain-consuming than those current cool games with 999 kills. 🐷
Let's talk about the plot. The UC shock department didn't even dare to write the title like this – telling Cao Cao's life directly from his perspective! During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Boss Cao was still young and vigorous; when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, offering a sword was a thrill; in the battle of Guandu, fewer defeated more, and I, being "Cao Cao", almost dropped my phone in excitement! What's the most amazing thing? After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao died of illness, so the game should be over, right? As a result, the developer suddenly used their imagination and compiled a legendary plot, so that we, the worried players, can continue to help Boss Cao realize his dream of unification. At that time, when I played this, my eyes, a man of 8.8 meters, became hot. This is not playing a game. This is making up for the regrets of history! 😭
What's the most terrible thing? Such a game with solid content and full plot is actually free! free! free! Say important things three times! At that time, I was playing a mobile game. If I didn't pay for it, I would be pushed to the ground and rubbed by the boss. The first-time deposit gift packs for monthly and weekly cards were flying all over the place. This game is pretty good. I've been playing it for a week, but I can't find the recharge entrance. Will developers starve to death? But the benefits are real - you can play it with zero krypton, which is really a breath of fresh air in domestic games! 👍
So, young friends, you always say you can't find good games, but in fact, good things are hidden in inconspicuous places. This "The Legend of Cao Cao in Troubled Times" is like an old game arcade hidden in a corner. When you enter it, you will realize that it is full of old players like me. A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a round of playing for half a day. Want to experience the pure, unadulterated joy of gaming? You might as well follow me, the old driver, and come to this game to travel back to the war-torn Three Kingdoms and see how Boss Cao changed from a generation of tycoons to what you call "Cao Thief"... Haha, just kidding, in short, do you want to eat this wave of Amway? I slipped away to push the picture first! 🏃♂️💨
