Let me introduce myself first. I am a typical otaku who "will close his eyes and rush into games as long as the graphics are beautiful enough, even if it's...well, even if it's a game that's so unpopular that I can't even find a guide for it." The "Demon and the Tao" I'm going to talk about today is actually the product of my friend Amway's failure at the beginning. But I clicked on it and took a look - my dear, this stand-up painting directly stole my soul! 😇
Do you know that feeling? The moment I opened the character interface, before the background music finished playing, I was already struck by the eyes of that fairy-like magic character. The hair is flowing, the hem of the clothes can imagine the arc blown by the wind, and even the runes engraved on the weapons seem to be able to read stories... I started to comment in my mind at that time: "This artist knows what 'a glance for ten thousand years'!!" "Is this an aesthetic that can also be found in 2023?" "I'm going to say hello to my wife!!" (crossed out)
To be honest, I got into turn-based games completely by accident. After all, I usually only like to draw cards and lick the screen, but the battle system? If it doesn't exist, just hang up automatically (whisper). But the Five Elements Magic Weapon gameplay in "Devil and Tao" actually made me study for two hours... Of course, the main reason for the study was to unlock more vertical painting postures and combat voices! 😅 The magic weapons with different attributes will glow and change color on the body. Yes, I stared at these light effects for half an hour, just to take screenshots and use them as wallpapers.
And oh, this game actually doesn't have 10 consecutive draws or first-time recharge face popping ads. According to our two-dimensional words, it means "there is no smell of krypton gold." I am a zero-krypton hamster. I originally thought I would be pressed to the ground and rubbed, but I ended up using the materials given at the event to make a critical attack outfit. I was so happy that I thought of a line on the spot: "This is the power of bonds! (Crush rocks)" Hahahahaha.
By the way, the equipment creation system is also very interesting. I'm not a big guy who knows how to match numerical values, but I have taken screenshots of all the equipment I've built, because each piece of equipment has a different style, and some even have small theaters with easter eggs. There is a voice actor joke hidden in the description of a crown, which instantly reminds me of a voice actor who has dubbed a certain series... I understand! The feeling of "It turns out you are also a two-dimensional person" is even better than picking up the best attributes. 🤝
Now I have met several of my colleagues in the game. The motivation for everyone to form a team every day to clear dungeons is half for the equipment, and half to get together and complain: "My daughter is wearing this fashion today!" "The special effects of your spirit beast are like the magic circle in a certain anime!" You see, this is fate.
In short, "Devil and Tao" is more than just a game to me, it is more like a playable hand-drawn picture book and a light novel series. I can click twice on the battle, but I can take screenshots of every line of dialogue and every online character in the plot and make up a 10,000-word fanfic. If you are also the kind of person who looks at the painting first and then the gameplay, and dares to change your life as long as the painting style is right, I really recommend giving it a try. Anyway, I entered the pit for Li Hui, but ended up lying in the pit called "Daily Liver Equipment" and couldn't get out. 🌊
Finally, I would like to say something from my heart: There are not many games these days that people can seriously play because of their art, so let's do it and cherish it. The bosses of our demon and Tao uniforms are also very enthusiastic, and they have someone to guide new people when they come. Come and talk about voice actors, stand-up animation, complain about the plot, battles, etc... It's not important! Just look good and that's it! 🎨✨
