From the extension of various martial arts RPGs in China, to the darkness of Blizzard abroad, and the sword spirit of NC, although PC users may not necessarily buy it for mobile games, it is undeniable that porting mobile games seems to have become a must-see path to explore the value of high-quality IPs, and various manufacturers famous for making PC games are also scrambling to explore this aspect.

For example, Ubisoft, which Catmao wants to introduce today.

As we all know, Ubisoft has the signature of the "Assassin's Creed" series. Ubisoft has also made many attempts in the "Assassin's Creed" IP Yanshen mobile game, such as "Assassin's Creed Pirates" and "Assassin's Creed: Identity" and "The Tower: Assassin's Creed".

Pirates: A preliminary study that failed to achieve expectations

The two Assassin mobile games, "Piracy" and "The True Color", were created by Montreal Studios, which made the "Assassin's Creed" series. The former failed to achieve the expected success as a preliminary exploration of the mobile platform for the "Assassin's Creed" series, while the latter took the path of regular transplantation to save reputation.

You can guess by listening to the name of "Pirates" that this is the outsourcing of the orthodox sequel to "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag".

"Pirates" tells a story of the same era as the plot line of "Black Flag". However, this mobile game with the title of "Assassin's Creed" has been refined into the unique naval warfare system in "Black Flag", without assassination and infiltration as an assassin, which disappoints the IP fans who follow the signature of "Assassin's Creed".

"Pirates" itself also has a flaw in the single plot of gameplay. It can only be said that it is an ambiguous attempt, and it may even cause players who don't know this IP to misunderstand what kind of game "Assassin's Creed" is.

First color: a normal transplant

So after learning from the lessons of "Pirates", Ubisoft's next Assassin's mobile game "Assassin's Creed: The True Color" has taken the course in a normal way.

The background of "The True Color" was set in the Renaissance, which was the same period as the series of "Assassin's Creed" that made Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" famous on the PC. The game simply restores the scenes and gameplay of the PC to the mobile phone screen, and the overall picture expressiveness is very excellent.

But the most important point for "The True Color" is the return of the assassin. A very simple truth. Taking IP as the selling point must first please IP fans. To reappear in mobile games, you must first understand what the players’ feelings are.Is it? For Assassin's Creed, it is the return of assassin's fighting methods such as infiltration, assassination, and Leap of Faith.

So although "The True Color" has flaws such as the character movements are a bit stiff and the limitations of the mobile phone's inability to make large maps, it still restores reputation for Ubisoft's Assassin mobile game exploration.

Tongtian Tower: The miraculous effect of swords taking a wrong path

Of course, Ubisoft has also had a serious mobile game studio in recent years. In 2016, Ubisoft acquired Ketchapp. Compared with Ubisoft Montreal Studio's strict eyes on the mobile game "Assassin's Creed", Kaiqubao's idea is a deviant move and has achieved unexpected miraculous results.

You should know that this is a mobile game studio that was famous for its research and development of "2048" and specializes in casual games. They don’t want to make any 3A masterpieces on their mobile phones, action special effects and god-level plots, but they just want to use simple problem-solving methods to interpret Kaiqubao’s style: a simple but unstoppable mini-game.

The Tower: Assassin's Creed was released on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Assassin's Creed series. It is Kaiqubao's usual fresh style. The gameplay is simple but not monotonous: you need to place the shaking floor left and right floors and put them together below by touching the screen, just like stacking high; after reaching the top floor, jumping down through the leap of faith, collecting crystals to get points. Unlock nine assassins in Assassin's Creed history by passing the levels.

A casual game actually has higher ratings and downloads than the original studio of the Assassin's Creed series, "Pirate Aerial" and "Real Colors" scored higher. Does Kaiqubao understand Assassin's Creed better than Montreal Studios? Not.

I can only say that Kaiqubao understands mobile game users better than Montreal Studios - this is a user group with a wider age range and social class than the audience of PC games. Most of them are not fans of Assassin's Creed, and they are not even interested in hardcore action battles. They just first find a time-killing entertainment in the fragmented time segments.

It is also a clever method to promote the ads of Assassin's Creed IP through a casual game that can better please the public.

So I personally feel that "Tower of Heaven" is the most successful Assassin Yanshen mobile game at present. This reminds me of "King Quan" and "Game of Thrones". Transplanting does not necessarily require all the ambitions of the PC to the mobile phone. Although the delicacies of mountains and seas are rare, the sesame cakes on the stalls are also unique.

Maybe Montreal Studios found inspiration from Kaiqubao's "Tower of the Sky". This time, the latest work of Assassin's mobile game "Assassin's Creed Rebellion" was launched, but no longer aligned with the peak of realistic restoration, but chose to chooseThe Q-version cute clay man modeling and the still distinctive assassin fighting elements such as assassination and stealth are also taken in a different way in the plot, allowing Assassins of various generations of history to dance together on the same stage.
