We work in the darkness to serve the light, we, are assassins. (presenter: We work in the dark and serve the lights,we are assassins)
"Assassin's Creed: The Heroes" is a stand-alone game created by Ubisoft Quebec Studios and jointly produced by 8 Ubisoft Studios. It is the sixth part of the "Assassin's Creed" series. It was launched on PS4 and Xbox One on October 23, 2015. The PC version has been released on November 19, 2015.
The story of "Assassin's Creed: The Hero" takes place in London, England during the Victorian period. The two protagonists are raised by an assassin, named Jacob Fry, who will be involved in the sinful London under Queen Victoria and try to restore peaceful rule. The heroine is Jacob Fry's sister Evie Fry. She is good at stealth and knows how to control and manage, and will help Jacob Fry punish evil and promote good.
In 1868, London was at the peak of the industrial revolution, and the most powerful empire in history was rising slowly. But at the same time, as the heart of the empire, the city was increasingly trapped in an atmosphere of depressing despair: a few people had more wealth, while most people were suffering. The gap between the rich and the poor has never been so clear. The people at the bottom were unwilling to suffer and began to embark on the path of crime to seek self-salvation.
The story of "Assassin's Creed: The Hero" takes place during this period. The game will lead players back to the hazy Victoria London, where the two protagonists of the game are manipulated - Accord Fry and Evie Fry, where they will punish evil and promote good and fight for the peace and dignity of the lower-class people. As for the game's subtitle "The Hero", it is also the ultimate goal of the player: to establish his own criminal organization, the purpose of this organization is simple and clear - to clear away the unblocked Knights Templars.
The main camps of the game include Templar and Assassin. The origins of the Templars are unknown, but their purpose is to be obvious, to pursue knowledge, truth and power, to emphasize reason, and to establish a new order. They have their own beliefs and do things with their own style, just as an assassin has an assassin's style. From a political perspective, the Templars are politicians, those in power, who pursue knowledge of order, stability and stability. Knowledgeists do not hesitate to deceive, confuse or even enslave the masses.
The origin of the Assassin's camp is the fraternity, and the members all seek the faith of freedom. The leap of faith was originally the product of training faith, but later it became a ritual of freedom of faith. I believe that when everyone jumps down the tower in the game and soars with the eagle, everyone will feel a kind of detachment, that is a kind of freedom. Assassins are rebellious insurrections, pursuing freedom and independence. They are agnostics and believe in all possibilities.
Optional Role
The only characters that players can choose to operate are Jacob Fry and Evie Fry.
Role description
Jacob Frye (1847 – Unknown) was a British assassin who was active in London during the Victorian era and was the twin brother of Evie Frye. They were from Crowley and were raised by the assassin's standards since birth. Jacob and his sister came to London to overthrow oppression and help the poor.
Jacob and Evie lead the crime group "Crow" against the Templars. Compared to his calm and secretive sister, Jacob seems reckless and rebellious. At some point, Jacob came into contact with writer Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin. In addition, he also investigated Jack the Ripper.
Evie Frye (1847 - Unknown) was an English assassin who was active in London during the Victorian era and was Jacob Frye's twin sister. They were raised by the assassin's standards, and Evie and her younger brother came to London to overthrow oppression and help the poor. Evie and Jacob lead the crime group "Crow" against the Templars. Compared to her reckless and rebellious brother, Evie appears calm and secretive.
The twins reflect different personalities in the game. Character switching can be performed between tasks. However, each level is for only one of the twins, and about 75% of the tasks correspond to Jacob, so only 25% of the tasks belong to Evie. Evie is better at hiding her traces and is more suitable for assassination missions.
People Attributes
The character attributes mainly include attack, defense, stealth, stunning, and fatal force (critical strike).
Enhance the basic attributes of characters can be temporarily improved by equipment; or permanently improved by specializing in challenging tasks. The skill points are obtained for every 1000xp gain, and the character level is upgraded by how many skill points you get.
XP acquisition method: Task; if the plot is 100% synchronized, you can also get additional XP rewards; increase the basic attribute value and collectibles by completing specialization challenges; online transactions.
Interactive characters in the game are very important. They will tell the players something that is happening in the current game world and will make some transactions with the players that will help the players. The conversation will be triggered when the player approaches. Often, this information is very important for players to understand the mission. Each NPC will have several options for self-introduction, greeting, gossiping, etc. These options can better help players understand the current scene and tasks.
Henry Green, known as The Ghost, was an Indian, immigrated to England in the 1860s and later became the leader of the Assassin, a friend of Jacob and Evie in London. He is the son of Albaz Mir, the Indian Brotherhood Assassin Master. People who helped the two protagonists many times in the gameThings.
In addition, the game also has tasks assigned by Darwin and others to players, allowing players to experience and experience the changes of that era.
The London in Assassin's Creed: The Hero is 30% larger than that in Assassin's Creed: The Revolution, and is divided into six urban areas: Lambos, the Thames, the City of London, Whitechapel, Southerk and Strand Street. Each city corresponds to real London.
Compared with "Assassin's Creed: The Great Revolution", the architectural style in "Assassin's Creed: The Heroes" has greatly changed, including wider streets and more buildings with higher heights. To cope with these changes, players can equip ropes from the Assassin's Armory to make it easier to travel through the city.
Crowds will be restricted to the sidewalks and players can drive carriages. Trains and ships will also appear, although they cannot be driven, but can be moved in the city as vehicles.
Combat System
As an assassin player, he often engages in "illegal" activities that are not allowed by the Templars, and will fight with them. The game enters the final stage and the battle for the autonomous region officially begins. Jacob must lead his gang subordinates to confront the hostile gangs head-on in the streets. The new combat system allows Jacob to maintain superb combat skills and smooth combat rhythm in large-scale combat. After the combat system is improved, it is faster and instant than before. It truly reflects the street combat that relies on instinct as the main focus, and all settings are for hand-to-hand combat. Assassin's Creed: The Heroes focus on close combat, and Jacob and his gang always use their fists to fight against enemy gangs on the streets.
Task System
Assassin's Creed: The Hero may be added to the wrestling mode
The categories of tasks are divided into three categories: main story, partner action, and London fun stories. The main task is the tasks that players must do as the game progresses. Companion action tasks can increase the loyalty of the partner. The higher the loyalty, the easier it is to unlock rare equipment and design drawings of various categories. Loyalty is from LV1-LV5, each character will unlock different items at each level.
The London story is a sequence of several historical figures. You can start by talking to them. The positions of these figures will be displayed after synchronizing the overlook point. All the main quests and side quests of the game will have an impact on the final outcome, and all the quests and content are just to make one thing clear: the great adventures of Jacob and Evie.
Gang System
As main line sequence 3 (Chapter 3) unlocks, you can build a gang (Black Crow). The gang system can assist the protagonist. Gangs are divided into three categories to upgrade: culprits (creating their own types and lethality), and people in the circle (gangsThe special nature of support brought by), fraudsters (the source of the gang’s fund). The gang's recruitment system can unconditionally recruit everyone in the streets in green at any time. The upgrade of the culprit system can make the NPCs in the gang have stronger combat capabilities and less damage from hostile forces; the upgrade of the human system in the circle can unlock arc grenades, drug purchases, explosives and other items; the fraudster system is a cheaper purchase of materials and increases money income.
Achievement System
Achievements in the game are related to collecting items or completing specific tasks. The achievements do not affect the player's attributes, but unlocking achievements can gain a lot of experience to strengthen character skills or obtain equipment to enhance character combat effectiveness.
Ubisoft's optimization of "Assassin's Creed" has made a comeback, and it handles all kinds of bugs quite well. The overall tone of the hero is cold, and some iconic landmark buildings, such as Big Ben, the Capitol, Westminster, etc., are as realistic as real scenes; the towering chimneys in the industrial area, the busy workers and oppressed children in the factory, and the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages on the streets are also full of the colors of the times; in addition, the game has added a day-night cycle and dynamic weather system, which is also the first time in the series. Players can enjoy the baptism of "haze" by the river in the Thames, or overlook the city under the night above Big Ben.
