The new plot DLC "Jack the Ripper" accompanied by the season ticket of "Assassin's Creed" has been officially opened for download on the morning of December 16 (Beijing time). This game is set in London in 1868, when Fry's twin brothers Jacob and Evie liberated London from the hands of the Knights Templar. Speaking of the far-reaching figures of the Victorian era, there is a person who has to be mentioned, Jack the Ripper, the murderer of the serial murder in Whitechapel District. The plot of this "Assassin's Creed: The Hero" tells the story of the story of Evie, a sister who had settled in India, who had received a letter from her younger brother Jacob. In order to capture Jack the murderer who was spreading panic in London and find out her missing brother, he returned to London again. Below is a review of Jack Ripper DLC. I hope to provide some help to players who are interested or are still waiting and watching. (Friendly reminder: The following content involves spoilers, please prepare for your mentality.)
Scary first, new system and new props
This Jack Ripper DLC has added a variety of new elements, including a new scare system, a new combat skill, a ruthless stun and a death scream, and two new props spikes and a scare bomb from the Indian Brotherhood of Assassin to cooperate with the scare system. In addition, the prostitutes have become allies of the assassins again. Sister Evie can use her new combat skills to ruthlessly stun or these 2 new props to frighten the enemy, and even scare the enemy away. The degree of frightening of the enemy can be judged by the icon above their heads, and it is divided into three states: transparent calmness, orange tension, and red scare-off.
But be careful that when Evie's behavior triggers the enemy's fright, it will forcefully withdraw from stealth mode, which may lead to some assassination or mission failures that require secret operations. Therefore, scare attacks are more suitable for situations where they are besieged by a large number of enemies at the same time, and the effect is better with the traditional secret assassin assassin according to different situations.
(New skills exclusive to Jack Ripper DLC)
Assassin tradition, nonsense is the main focus, historical facts are the auxiliary
(Friendly reminder: The following content involves spoilers. Please prepare for your mentality. Spoilers will avoid speed.)
The plot of this DLC also follows the consistent tradition of Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" series. It opens its brainstorm based on the historical facts of Whitechapel serial murders and Jack the Ripper. Jack becomes a young assassin recruited by Jacob, but gradually goes to extreme or even crazy, commits a series of inhumane crimes under the banner of cleaning up London. In addition to being proficient in assassin skills, Jack the Ripper in the game also took over the Black Crow Gang after Jacob disappeared. There are many "deputies" who agree with his ideas and work hard for him. Jack the Ripper's victims have also expanded to different citizens of all classes.
Although the main plot is all kinds of weird, it also reveals a lot of historical truth to players in some details such as various partner activities. For example, the Ripper's letter series branch is to send Jack the Ripper to the newspaper to provoke the London police, and three letters that proved most likely from the murderer were the subject of the mission. There is also the branch line of the Justice Carriage series, which allows players to drive carriages to escort NPCs to Scotland Yard, and these escorted NPCs are some of the suspects in the real Jack Ripper case in history!
In addition to the handsome uncle Egio in "Apocalypse", the protagonists of the "Apocalypse" series are basically young and strong assassins. In this Jack Ripper DCL, players will meet the Fry brothers who are over 40 years later in this article. Judging from the trailer, it seems that the appearance of my younger brother Jacob has not changed much, but my sister Evie, who has returned from India, has already... Alas, the editor can't bear to continue talking. In short, Henry Green, you bastard, come out for me!
Ubisoft Spirit Fluency needs to be improved
After talking about the content that DLC editor thinks is more interesting, we will talk about the parts that need to be improved. Although the fluency and number of bugs in this article of Assassin's Creed: The Heroes have improved a lot of problems in this DLC. It is mainly reflected in the fact that the character's parkour is stuck at a higher frequency than this article, the carriage chases are severely stuck, and the ruthless stunning strike rhythm is not as refreshing and smooth as this article. I hope that the subsequent patches or other DLCs will fix related problems and improve the experience.
Finally, there is a demonstration video that includes Memory 1, Memory 2 and several partner activity side missions to give players a more intuitive experience of London shrouded by Jack the Ripper in the game.
