Let me start by saying that I am not a hardcore gamer. I usually play mobile games very badly. But this game really broke my defense.
Do you still remember the phrase "Yes Commander"? When I was little, I would squat next to my brother and watch him play Red Alert, just waiting to hear him say this English phrase when he was building troops. This time when I saw the classic voiceover at the beginning of "High Alert", I was directly taken back twenty years ago and almost knocked over the milk tea in my hand. The revival of this wave of feelings is absolutely heart-wrenching.
I know you must ask: For night owls, didn't you say it's suitable for playing before going to bed? Isn't it noisy to fight in this game? ——Wrong! It just hits the spot for someone like me who likes quiet gaming late at night.
The biggest reason I recommend it is: it doesn't need to be too overwhelming. The command center slowly upgrades the buildings and accumulates troops little by little. Don't worry if you get stuck on a level, just adjust the speed to 0.5 times and grind slowly. The little soldiers running around on the screen, the sound of guns and the sound of the room with only a small desk lamp on at night are particularly like watching a miniature war in white noise. It's a real stress reliever.
My own favorite is the campaign mode. It doesn't have as many red dots, daily tasks, or gold pop-ups as there are in modern fast food mobile games. It just lays out the map for you to fight, and you can build it after the troops are dead. It feels like I'm back when I was a kid, turning on the computer and playing a few games, without the pressure of "I'll lose if I don't go online today."
Some people may think that playing alone is boring, but I think this rhythm is very suitable for bedtime. Think about it, I'm already a little tired at night, but if I encounter teammates who turn on the microphone and curse at others, who can stand it? "Highest Alert" is quiet. If you lose, you can just start over. No one scolds me, and I don't have to apologize to anyone. Just push it one level after another, lock the screen and go to sleep when you feel sleepy, and you don't have to worry about picking up the dishes on time.
The only problem is...it's a little on top. I originally wanted to "go to sleep after playing one level", but I unknowingly increased the battery power of my phone from 100 to 20, and when I looked up, it was already dark. Hey, it's my old habit of being a night owl again.
In short, if you also like the old flavor of Red Alert's era, but don't like to be pushed too hard by real-time battles, you can really try "Highest Alert". Find a night to lie in bed, turn down the volume of the headphones, and listen to those old dialogues slowly playing, and it feels very peaceful.
Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to catch up on my sleep zzz. When I wake up, I will continue to push my liberation front🌞📱💤
