Almighty Game Designer Chapter 828: “Castle: Middle Ages”


After the release of the animus promotional video, Chen Mo's Weibo was quiet again.

So far, all players' understanding of Chen Mo's new game is only limited to animus's promotional videos, and they have no idea what Chen Mo's new game is called and what character is the protagonist.

Because in the animus propaganda film, it only emphasized the concept of "playing heroes through time and space". Many players were misled by this propaganda film and thought that the protagonists of Chen Mo were Washington, Caesar and other heroes. .

If these heroes are the protagonists... Then isn't the game developing in the direction of narrative epic?

But I don’t think it’s fun to replenish this subject.

Many players are worried, will Chen Mo go wrong?

Will there be too much emphasis on history, leading to a decline in gameplay and making the game unfun?

One month after Chen Mo released the animus promo, another new VR game trailer on the Internet attracted the attention of players.

The game is called "Castle: Middle Ages" and the developer is a company called 4K.

4K is not a world-class manufacturer, but it is also very famous because they have been cultivating historical game themes. They can be said to be world-class in related game fields and have a large number of fans.

It’s just that the company’s domestic reviews are general, and the reason is very simple. Their games and Chinese localization are very unconcerned...

Speaking of which, domestic players also have distinct personalities of love and hatred. It is quite common to give negative reviews because a game has no Chinese or Chinese localization slag. The localization of new games developed by 4K seems to be always at the machine level, which makes many domestic players who have bought games very upset.

However, although many domestic players have been giving bad reviews, 4K has not changed.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because 4K games are basically historical games with a Western cultural background, and most of the player groups are concentrated in Europe and America. Although there are some domestic players who like this theme, relatively speaking, the number is too small, so 4K is very unconcerned about Chinese localization.

And this kind of unwillingness makes the domestic players feel worse about this company, with various negative reviews, so in this vicious circle, 4K is basically used to ignoring domestic players, so things slowly The earth has developed into a state of incompatibility between old and dead.

However, although 4K has a very poor reputation in China, it does not affect the fact that they have a group of diehard fans who love this series of games around the world. Especially for European and American players, is the level of Chineseization of this game good? What does it have to do with us? Should I play or play normally.

And this time "Castle: Middle Ages" is a game that is biased towards management + war simulation.

In the game promotional materials released in 4K, players will act as the lord of a castle, build walls, train soldiers, and ensure the safety of the subjects in the castle. The farmer in the castle will provide military rations and supplies to the castle to ensure that the player wins the war.

From the perspective of gameplay, the main fun of "Castle: Middle Ages" is to plan the choices in different periods. For example, if too much manpower and financial resources are spent in the early stage to build the city wall, it will cause weak infrastructure and poor people’s lives to affect subsequent development; Only attaching importance to the development of resources and facilities and neglecting the city defense, may also be attacked by small-scale bandits or even wild animals and suffer heavy losses.

The biggest highlight of this game is the highly realistic medieval combat system.

Although the game scene is not big, it is only concentrated in a medium-sized castle, but its combat system is really good. There are various types of medieval arms, including knights, archers, and so on. And when these soldiers are not in battle, they will also carry out daily life in the castle.

The lord played by the player is a brave warrior, with physical fitness and combat power far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers. In the battle, the player can choose to command from a distance, or choose to charge in front, to experience the thrill of life and death.

In addition, the game’s faithful reproduction of history is also one of the main selling points. During the game, the player can observe all aspects of the lives of the subjects in the entire castle as a lord. Some details of life and battle have also been carefully verified by the main creative team, which basically restores the history of the European Middle Ages.

Actually, similar game concepts are not particularly new, at least there have been many similar business simulation games. However, the reason why "Castle: Middle Ages" has attracted much attention is because it has achieved a very extreme level of history and realism on the VR platform.

In the promotional video, the chief creators of 4K introduced their detailed investigations to reproduce the medieval castle, including various historical details and the process of asking experts and scholars. It can be said that "Castle: Middle Ages" should be the game with the highest degree of reproduction of medieval history so far. If you want to experience this sense of history, then this game will be a must-buy choice.

After seeing the promotional materials of "Castle: Middle Ages"~IndoMTL.com~Foreign players are naturally happy, but domestic players are more upset.

"4K is coming out again! This time is a medieval background!"

"4K? The manufacturer that doesn't treat domestic players as humans? They won't buy new works even if they release them!"

"That is, I bought their games before, and the Chinese translation is too much than the machine translation, and the bad reviews are ignored. This kind of manufacturer should bankrupt him!"

"However, 4K not only did not go bankrupt, but it was alive and well... After all, the object of the game is the noble foreigner..."

"Resolutely do not buy! I put it here, whoever buys SB, don't regret it when you play the Chinese version like shi!"

"Hey, but I really can't stop the theme of this cold weapon era, I want to buy it!"

"The game is a good game, but it is a pity, how is it made in 4K?"

"Who else can it be if it's not 4K? The world seems to be particularly fond of making this kind of historical game, right? Besides, leaving aside the issue of Sinicization, they do it really well."

"By the way, I suddenly remembered, didn't Chen Mo's new game also promote the "re-emergence of history"? Will it also be the theme of "Castle: Middle Ages"?"

"It's not like it. The main reason is that Chen Mo's new game has no horoscope at all. Who knows what game it is? Besides, Chen Mo doesn't seem to have done this kind of historical game before. "

"Upstairs, how many subjects has Chen Mo done so far that he hasn't done before?"

"Yes, haven't you discovered Chen Mo's urination? Other designers only work in areas that he is good at, and he only works in areas that he has never done before! If you think about it this way, his next game is Historical subjects, this is a great possibility!"
