Chapter 99: Instant Strategic Games

Chen Qiao clicked into "Conquest of the Legion", soon, the game loaded.

This is an instant strategic game, the theme of modern warfare, as you can see from the loading interface of the game, all aircraft cannon tanks, and all sorts of cool looking high-tech weapons.

After entering the game, the structure of the entire game is also very clear, with two modules: [Battle Mode] and [Networking Battle].

Makes Chen stranger feel that the game is a bit like Red Alert, but not quite the same. One is that the images are much better, and the other is that the packaging of specific weapons varies greatly.

There are no Apocalypse tanks, Optical tanks, etc. in this game, mainly with modern, real tanks, but there are also some fantastic weapons of the future.

Moreover, the game was not based on the Cold War, and there were no allied forces or two Soviet camps.

The Legion of Conquest worldview is an overhead worldview, describing how many countries were subverted after the Third World War and how large armed forces formed many regiments to engage in mixed warfare.

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

There are many active weapons and equipment, such as main battle tanks, bombers, etc., but they are available to all and blur the national concept, which should be based on global outreach considerations.

Chen Jiao signed up for an account and started challenging the battle mode.

Overall, the quality of the game is very good, the newbie guide can do it well, what is lacking in the US is that the plot is a little too thin, Chen Jiao hit two levels, basically there is no main line plot, nothing more than the commander lets you fight wherever you want, the plot has little sense of substitution.

Of course, this should be a side-effect of the overhead world view and the vague concept of the State, and the planning of the plot is limited.

But after all, it's an instant strategy game, and the plot isn't that important, so it didn't affect its explosion.

Legion Conquest is also rough in terms of mode of operation. It's a little similar to Red Alert. It's not very convenient in terms of operating interface, shortcut keys, mouse key function distribution, etc., in Chen stranger's view.

Selecting, moving and attacking, all three operations are actually done with the left mouse button, and the right mouse button only undertakes the "deselect” operation, which makes Chen stranger very uncomfortable.

Chen Jiao plays the plot mode and researches it.

At this time, a student who looked like an internet addict sat on the next desk, and was bored during the boot process, and looked at the screen of the stranger.

Chen Qiao was manipulating a tank to crush the seven or eight soldiers in front of him. As a result, the soldiers opened fire with a machine gun “bang bang bang" and directly blew up Chen Qiao's tank.

“Nima!” Chen is silent, like Red Alert, there is no logic. How can these little soldiers blow up my tank with machine guns? Is the tank armor fake?

Neighborhood junkie: “Beginner? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Well, newbie. ”

“The tanks are pretty garbage here," said the addict. "Either you can hold the air force or the super weapon at the end of the period, or the tanks can easily be rendered bloodless. ”

Chen Qiao said nothing: "Shouldn't modern war tanks be the main force? ”

"Well, I don't know, but that's how the game works," said the addict. ”

The cyberaddicted teenager said that he had also opened Conquest of the Legion and started searching for the online counterpart.

It's a quick match, you'll find your opponent in less than a minute. It's a four-person map, hit 1V1.

Juveniles who are addicted to the Internet don't have time to hang out with Chen, so they rush to concentrate on building buildings and exploding soldiers.

Chen Jiao also paused his game and started watching internet addicts play.

Mining, construction of buildings, production of soldiers, exploration of roads… Internet addicts have fun at a glance, quite serious.

Earlier, the other party directly bombed the addicted teenager, but luckily he prepared more defense facilities, blocked several waves of offense, then the addicted teenager successfully suffocated more than 30 lightning pilots, stole the other party's base, and successfully turned it over.

“Yes!” the cyberaddict said with some excitement.

Chen Jiao frowned: “This game is not very balanced. ”

The internet addict glanced at him and said, "Is this bad? This is already the best instant strategy game. ”

"Three tanks can't fight more than twenty infantry," said Chan. “It doesn't make any sense. ”

“I can't help it, it's already the most balanced instant strategy game, and it's okay to accept the setup," the cyberaddict said. ”

"Why don't you play role-playing games?" asked Chan. ”

And the addict said, "Well, I'm tired. That kind of game doesn't have much technology, it's time, and whoever spends more time is amazing, it's like a real-time strategic game, compared to technology. ”

“Mmm.” Chen Nodded.

"If you really love role-playing, playing VR is actually the best, including shooting, adventure, and now it's all VR games. ”

“But games like Instant Strategy and Simulation are basically on the PC side, because it's not good to switch to VR. And this kind of game doesn't take long, it could be 20 or 30 minutes to play, and after that, you can rest, not so tired. ”

Chen Qiao said: "Is there a ranking match in this game? ”

Internet junkie stunned: “Oh, there's a ranking match, I was just playing a ranking match. ”

Chen Qiao asked: "So ranking is the core fun of the game? ”

Internet addicts nod their heads: "Yes. Play the battle mode in the first period, then play ranking, you have to play with the master to have fun. This is similar to a real platoon layout, where immediate strategy is like this, deep, and research is not always proficient. ”

Chen Qiao asked, “Is there an offline game? ”

“Of course, there are now offline games, and PC games are more instant strategy-like games," said the addict. There are several celebrity players in every major club, and that is the Great God. ”

The two men chatted a few more words, and the cyberaddict continued to open the ranking race.

Chen Jiao studied the numerical settings of Legion Conquest and left the cybercafe.

Surprisingly, Chen Jiao has been cooling down for a long time in his previous life. In this world, he is quite hot.

If you think about it, it's understandable.

VR games have had a huge impact on PC-side games, but PC players have not all translated into VR games. Instant strategy games are more fragmented and have better depth of strategy than role-playing games, so they remain one of the mainstream game types in parallel worlds.

As for MOBA? Not even a prototype!

Chen Qiao was a little hesitant. For him, he is now struggling with role-playing games, but now he has found a good transition.
