Visual and spiritual shock

Since the birth of electronic games, producers have been pursuing a game world with better visual expression. Whether it is the improvement of game picture quality, the refinement of scene modeling, vertical painting, or the leap of interpretation forms, all enhance the player's visual enjoyment and immersion.

By thanks to HDR real light and shadow rendering and other technologies, the picture of "Tiandi Jie: The Resurrection of the City" is comparable to the console-level quality. Not only is the scene and character modeling exquisite and delicate, but the game's light and shadow effects and object materials are also quite realistic. Take a scene in the "bonfire camp" as an example. Here you can see the mottled snow on the branches of trees, scattering withered wild grasses that are arranged randomly and naturally; the fire illuminates the surrounding scenery and the shadows of trees cast on the snow; the thickness of the snow layer covered with stones, and the rippling and rippling waves on the river surface. These elements are intertwined, conveying an extremely real visual sense and greatly enhancing the sense of game substitution.

What is even more commendable is that while the game uses new technologies to improve picture quality, it does not abandon the charm of the original series, but instead finds a delicate balance between the realistic style and the anime style. In order to perfectly reproduce the scenery of the Western Regions, the production team made a special field inspection. In addition, the game has also undergone a high-definition remake of the original classic scenes. This series of designs,It can make players who are pursuing visual impact have fun and recreate the memories and touches of the past for the old players.

In addition, unlike traditional RPG mobile games, "Heaven and Earth Calamity: The Return of the City" uses Live2D technology in the portrait design, and the game characters are lifelike. Compared with static portraits, it injects fresh vitality into the characters with dynamic presentation and enhances the viewing experience.

At the same time, the game also retains the performance animation of the "Heaven and Earth Calamity" series, and many of the skill moves refer to the original work. With the blessing of modern picture technology, these gorgeous combat performances bring us not only visual impact, but also spiritual shock and aftertaste.

Redefine the beauty of the strategy of the chess mobile game

As the saying goes, "It's great to enjoy the cool air with your back on a big tree." Whether it is an adapted mobile game of "Tiandijie" or another RPG mobile game of Zilong after "Fantasy Simulation War", "Tiandijie: The Return of the City" has attracted much attention and expectations from players.

In today's increasingly fierce competition in mobile games, the popularity of many games has confirmed the winning rule of "content first". For war chess RPG, the game content is far from being limited to the quality of the picture, but the fun generated by enriching strategic elements. "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Return of the City" understands this very well. This game focuses on the dimensions of attribute restraint, unique skills, scene mechanisms, etc., deeply explores the game strategy space, and achieves a perfect combination with martial arts temperament, with outstanding playability and amazing potential.

The game inherited a generation of "ancestral" attribute restraint mechanisms, forming a relationship between "Yankre, Rick Ice, Ice Ice", and "Light to Darkness". During the battle, players can flexibly move and choose the battle target to maximize output or damage avoidance. The strategic content that also relies on positioning is also implemented, and the scene mechanism.

Constraint relationship display

There are many scene mechanisms with different functions on the battlefield, such as the "light-moving spirit bacteria" that can act again after use, the "flame spirit vein" that enhances external functions, and the "refusing horse" that can bring damage-free effects to surrounding characters, etc. The design of these mechanisms not only improves the depth of the strategy, but also enhances the fun of the game to a certain extent, adding more new tricks to the combat routines.

Like many excellent chess games, the characters in "Heaven and Earth: The Return of the City" have rich tactical techniques and characteristics, including first attack, pursuit, combo, coordination, killing, etc. With the help of the first attack, the character can take the initiative to prevent injury and drive away the enemy; under the action of the cooperative technique, the character attributes within the domain will change accordingly, which can be said to be the effect of restraining attributes and exerting them to the extreme..

Chasing

These various tactical techniques not only allow us to flexibly control in the battle stage and enjoy the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of diverse combat, but also bring the game's strategic charm to the lineup combination stage earlier. In addition, this game also has a good strategic depth in character development - the game inherits the original classic Five-in-Part System, which can consume "skill points" to improve attributes or learn new unique skills; weapons can be embedded with different types of soul stones, and corresponding attribute improvement effects can be obtained. As for how to allocate, achieve the optimal solution to the character numerical value, or fill in the shortcomings of the lineup combination, it is worth our consideration.

At the same time, in addition to creating a sense of atmosphere in a fantasy world from the perspective of picture art, BGM, and plot story, this work also tries to present a perfect combination of strategy and martial arts from the dimension of gameplay mechanism. For example, light skills, which are commonly found in martial arts film and television literary works, are a tactical technique in the game. Cleverly using overcoming terrain obstacles can disrupt the enemy's formation or form a double-team to win by surprise.

In general, "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Resurrection of the City" inherits the original work's quite hardcore chess gameplay system. But it concentrates the difficulty in the depth of strategy and is displayed by the above-mentioned elements such as attribute restraint, scene mechanism, tactical skills, etc. The game rules and combat logic have been simplified to a certain extent, making the game even easier for new players to use while highlighting the charm of the strategy.

The game works together from the plot, graphics and gameplay, leading players to relive the memories and touches of the past.

"Hidden" indicates a secret plot
