Chapter 98 Real-time strategy games
Chen Mo clicked to enter "League Conquest", and soon the game was loaded.
This is a real-time strategy game with modern war themes. It can be seen from the loading interface of the game. It is all airplane cannons and tanks, as well as various high-tech weapons that look very cool.
After entering the game, the architecture of the entire game is also very clear, namely the two major modules [Battle Mode] and [Internet Battle].
It gives Chen Mo the feeling that this game is a bit similar to "Red Alert", but it is not very similar. One is that the picture is much better, and the other is that the specific weapon packaging is very different.
There are no apocalypse tanks, light-lip tanks, etc. in this game. They mainly use modern real tanks, but there are also some fantasy future weapons.
Moreover, the game is not based on the Cold War, and there are no two camps of the Allies and the Soviet Union.
The world view of "League Conquest" is an invisible world view. After World War III, many countries were subverted, and major armed forces formed many legions to start a melee.
The battle mode here is that players play the role of the leader of one of the legions to conquer the entire world.
There are many active weapons and equipment, such as main battle tanks, bombers, etc., but everyone can use them, blurring the concept of the country. This should be due to global promotion.
Chen Mo registered an account and began to challenge the battle mode.
Overall, the quality of this game is very good, and the guidance of novices is good. The only drawback is that the plot is a bit too thin. Chen Mo beats two levels, and basically has no main plot. It’s just that the commander asks you to fight wherever you want, and there is basically no sense of substitution in the plot.
Of course, this should be a side effect of the overview of the world and the blurred concept of the country, and the plot planning is also limited.
However, this is a real-time strategy game after all, and the plot is not that important, so it did not affect its popularity.
"League Conquest" is also relatively rough in terms of operation mode, which is somewhat similar to "Red Alert". In terms of operation interface, shortcut buttons, mouse button function allocation, etc., it is not very convenient in Chen Mo's opinion.
Selection, movement, and attack, these three operations are actually completed with the left mouse button. The right mouse button only undertakes the "deselect" operation, which makes Chen Mo very uncomfortable.
Chen Mo was studying while playing the plot mode.
At this time, a student who looked like an internet-addicted boy sat on the camera next to him. The computer was bored during the boot, so he looked at Chen Mo's screen.
Chen Mo was manipulating a tank to crush the seven or eight soldiers in front, but the soldiers were "snap" and shot with machine guns, directly blowing Chen Mo's tank.
"Damn!" Chen Mo was speechless, just like "Red Alert", there was no logic at all. Why could these soldiers explode my tank with machine guns? The armor of the tanks is fake?
The internet-addicted boy next to him, Yile: "Are you a novice?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yeah, a novice."
The Internet-addicted boy said: "The tanks here are quite trash. You either explode soldiers in the early stage, or hold air force or super weapons in the later stage, and it is easy to lose all your money when you explode tanks in the middle stage."
Chen Mo was speechless: "Shouldn't modern war tanks be the main force?"
The Internet-addicted boy said, "Hey, I wonder, but that's how this game is set."
As the Internet-addicted boy spoke, he also opened "League Conquest" and began to search for online games.
The match was quite fast, and the opponent was found in less than a minute. This is a four-person map, playing 1V1.
The Internet-addicted boy had no time to chat with Chen Mo, so he quickly focused on building a building and exploded.
Chen Mo also paused his game and started watching the Internet-addicted boy play.
Mining, building buildings, producing soldiers, exploring the way... The Internet-addicted boy plays in a straightforward way and is quite serious.
In the early stage, the opponent directly attacked the Internet-Addicted boy and caught him off guard. Fortunately, he prepared more defensive facilities and blocked several waves of offensives. Then the Internet-Addicted boy successfully sent out more than 30 lightning flying soldiers, stole the opponent's base, and successfully turned the tables.
"yes!" said the Internet-addicted teenager with some excitement.
Chen Mo frowned and said, "This game has a very poor balance."
The Internet-addicted boy glanced at him: "Is this still bad? This is already the best real-time strategy game."
Chen Mo said: "Three tanks cannot defeat more than twenty infantrymen, so it is unreasonable no matter how you think about it."
The Internet-addicted boy said: "There is nothing to do. This is already the most balanced real-time strategy game. It would be fine if you accept this setting."
Chen Mo asked: "Why don't you play role-playing games?"
The Internet-addicted boy said, "That's too tiring. That kind of game has no technical content, it just competes with time. Whoever has more time will be better. It's not like real-time strategy games, it's compared to technology."
"Um." Chen Mo nodded.
The Internet-addicted boy said again: "If you really like to play role-playing, it is actually the best to play VR version, including shooting and adventure. Now it is the world of VR games."
"But games like real-time strategy and simulation management are basically on the PC side, because changing to VR is thankless. Moreover, this kind of game does not take time, and it may take only 20 to 30 minutes to play, and you can rest after playing, so you are not that tired."
Chen Mo said: "Is there a qualifying match in this game?"
The Internet-addicted boy was stunned: "Oh, there is a qualifying match. What I just played was a qualifying match."
Chen Mo asked, "So, ranking is the core fun of this game, right?"
The Internet-addicted boy nodded: "Yes. In the early stage of playing the battle mode, the next one is playing the ranking. It's interesting to fight with experts. This is similar to the real-time strategy. It has in-depth and can't be mastered after a long time of research."
Chen Mo asked again: "Is there any offline competition?"
The Internet-addicted boy said: "Of course there is. Nowadays, the PC-side competitions are only about real-time strategy games. There are several star players in major clubs, and they are all great masters."
The two chatted for a few more times, and the Internet-addicted boy continued to open the qualifying match and fought hard.
Chen Mo studied the various numerical settings of "League Conquest" again, and then left the Internet cafe.
What surprised Chen Mo was that real-time strategy games, which had been cold for a long time in the previous life, were actually quite popular in this world.
If you think about it carefully, this can actually be understood.
VR games have brought huge impacts on PC games, but PC players have not all converted into VR games users. Compared with role-playing games, real-time strategy games are more fragmented and have better strategy depth, so they are still one of the mainstream game types in parallel worlds.
As for MOBA? There is not even a prototype!
