Almighty Game Designer Chapter 98: Real-time strategy games

　　 Chen Mo clicked to enter "Legion Conquest", and soon the game loads.

　　 This is a real-time strategy game with modern warfare themes. As you can see from the loading interface of the game, it's all planes, cannons, tanks, and various high-tech weapons that look very cool.

　　 After entering the game, the structure of the entire game is also very clear, which are two modules of [Campaign Mode] and [Network Battle].

　　 gave Chen Mo the feeling that this game is a bit similar to "Red Alert", but it's not the same. One is that the picture is much better, and the other is that the specific weapon packaging is very different.

　　 There are no apocalyptic tanks, light prismatic tanks, etc. in this game. It mainly uses modern real tanks, but there are also some fantasy future weapons.

　　 Moreover, the game is not based on the theme of the Cold War. There are no two camps, the Allies and the Soviet Union.

　　 The world view of "Legion Conquest" is an overhead world view. After the third world war, many countries were subverted, and major armed forces formed many legions to start a melee.

　　 And the battle mode here is that the player plays the leader of one of the legions to conquer the entire world.

　　 There are many weapons and equipment in active service, such as main battle tanks, bombers, etc., but they can be used by everyone, which obscures the concept of country. This should be out of consideration for global promotion.

　　 Chen Mo registered an account and began to challenge the campaign mode.

　　 On the whole, the quality of this game is very good, and novice guidelines can be done. The catch is that the plot is a bit too thin. Chen Mo played two levels, basically there is no main storyline, nothing more than the commander let you play Play wherever you want, and there is basically no sense of substitution in the plot.

　　 Of course, this should be a side effect of the overhead world view and the fuzzy concept of the country, and the plot planning is also limited.

　　 But this is a real-time strategy game after all, and the plot is not that important, so it did not affect its popularity.

　　 "Legion Conquer" is also relatively rough in terms of operation mode, similar to "Red Alert". The operation interface, shortcut keys, and mouse button function assignments are not very convenient for Chen Mo.

　　Select, move, and attack, these three operations are all done with the left mouse button. The right mouse button only undertakes the operation of "deselect", which makes Chen Mo very uncomfortable.

　　 Chen Mo played the plot mode while studying.

　　 At this time, a student who looked like an internet addicted teenager sat on the side of the machine. The process of turning on it was boring, so he looked at Chen Mo's screen.

　　Chen Mo was manipulating a tank to crush the seven or eight soldiers in front of him. As a result, these soldiers carried their machine guns and fired them, directly exploding Chen Mo's tank.

　　 "Nima!" Chen Mo was speechless. Like "Red Alert", there is no logic at all. Why can this group of soldiers blow up my tank with machine guns? The armor of the tank is fake?

The internet addicted teenager next to 　　 had fun: "Novice?"

　　Chen Mo nodded: "Well, novice."

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "The tank here is quite rubbish. You can either explode the army in the early stage, or hold the air force or super weapons in the later stage. It is easy to lose money if the tank explodes in the mid-term."

　　 Chen Mo was speechless: "Should modern war tanks be the main force?"

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "Hey, I'm wondering too, but this is how this game is set."

　　 The internet addicted teenager said, he also opened "Legion Conquer" and began to search for online games.

　　 was matched very quickly, and the opponent was found in less than a minute. This is a four-player map, playing 1V1.

　　The internet addicted teenager didn't have time to chat with Chen Mo, so he hurriedly focused on building buildings and exploding soldiers.

　　Chen Mo also paused his game and began to watch the internet addicted teenager play.

　　Mining, building construction, producing soldiers, exploring roads... The internet addicted teenagers are very serious about it.

　　In the early stage, the opponent directly attacked the internet addiction boy by surprise, but fortunately he prepared more defensive facilities and blocked several waves of offensives. Then the internet addiction boy managed to hold out more than 30 lightning pilots. He stole the opponent's base and successfully turned over.

　　 "Yes!" The internet addiction teenager said excitedly.

　　 Chen Mo frowned and said, "This game, the balance is pretty bad."

　　The teenager with internet addiction glanced at him: "Is this still bad? This is already the best real-time strategy game."

　　 Chen Mo said: "Three tanks can't beat more than 20 infantrymen. It's not reasonable to think about it."

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "That's no way. This is already the most balanced real-time strategy game. If you accept this setting, it's okay."

　　 Chen Mo asked: "Why don't you play role-playing games?"

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "That's too tired. That kind of game has no technical content, just fight time. Whoever has more time will be better. It's like a real-time strategy game, it's better than technology."

　　 "Huh." Chen Mo nodded.

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "If you really like to play role-playing, in fact, playing the VR version is the best, including shooting, adventure, and now it is the world of VR games."

　　" But real-time strategy and simulation business games are basically on the PC side, because changing to VR is thankless~IndoMTL.com~ And this kind of game is not time-consuming, and it may be just a game. Twenty to thirty minutes, you can rest after playing, not so tired."

　　 Chen Mo said: "Is there a qualifying match in this game?"

　　The internet addicted teenager was taken aback: "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?"

　　 Internet addiction teenager nodded: "Yes. In the early stage of the battle mode, you will play the rankings later. It is interesting to play against the masters. This is similar to the actual formation of troops. Real-time strategy is like this. In-depth, long-term research is not necessarily proficient."

　　Chen Mo asked again: "Is the game offline?"

　　 Internet addiction teenager said: "Of course there is. Now offline games, PC games are more popular in real-time strategy games. There are several star players in major clubs, and they are all great gods."

　　 The two chatted a few more words, and the internet addicted teenager continued to open the qualifying competition and went to fight.

　　 Chen Mo studied the various numerical settings of "Legion Conquest" 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, turned out to be quite popular in this world.

　　Think about it carefully, this is actually understandable.

　　VR games have brought a huge impact to PC games, but PC players have not all converted to VR game users. Compared with role-playing games, real-time strategy games are more fragmented and have better strategic depth, so they are still one of the mainstream game types in the parallel world.

　　 As for MOBA? Not even a prototype!

　　 Originally, Chen Mo was a little hesitant. For him, it is a bit difficult to do role-playing games, but now, he has found a good transition product.
