Since the birth of the Assassin's Creed series, Ubisoft has high hopes for it. Of course, this "high hope" is to hope that it will become another classic series of game works in the gaming industry, and on the other hand, it is to hope to make high profits through a series of Assassin's Creed games. So in addition to seeing an orthodox work of "Assassin's Creed" almost every year, we can also find many games that are also named "Assassin's Creed" on different platforms. Today we will take a look at the works of "assassin" that you may not be familiar with.

1. "Assassin's Creed: Altaïr Chronicle" 2008 NDS/WP/iOS/Android/webOS/Symbian

"Chronicles of Altay" is a mobile game developed and produced by Ubisoft's Gameloft. The protagonist of the story is still Altay of the first generation. The time is set in the year before the first generation, and it has some prequel flavor. There is nothing outstanding about the game itself, but there is a special character, Adha, the first love of the assassin master Altaïr. This name is also mentioned in the first and second generation "Assassin's Creed".

2. "Assassin's Creed: Blood" 2009 PSP

After the release of the first generation of Assassin's Creed, it quickly became a phenomenal work. While players were anxiously waiting for the sequel, Ubisoft brought this "Assassin's Creed: Blood" to the majority of handheld players. This work is not a work of home machine transplanting handheld machines, but a new work with independent storylines. The plot of the game takes place between the first and second generations, playing a certain role in connecting the past and the future. The protagonist is still the protagonist Altaïr of the generation. Although the image quality is much inferior to that of console games, it is still good compared to the PSP games of the same era.

3. "Assassin's Creed 2: Exploration" 2010 NDS/iOS

The third "Assassin's Creed" work on mobile, but this time it is Nintendo's NDS and Apple's iOS. The story of this work takes place fifteen years after "Assassin's Creed 2", and the protagonist is still the second-generation Egio. The game mainly tells the story of Egio coming to Spain in the 15th century to rescue the assassins who were imprisoned by Spanish religion under the guise of court. This work has received widespread praise in the industry. IGN gave 8 points for the Nintendo DS version (out of 10 points) and 7 points for the iOS version (out of 10 points). GameSpot also gave a 7-point rating for the Nintendo DS version (out of 10).

IV. "Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation" 2012 PSV 2014 PS3/XBOX360/PC 2019 PS4/Xbox One

This work made the first "Assassin's Creed" work that was launched on the PSV handheld, with the same time set as the third generation, but the location was in New Orleans, the United States, focusing on the French and Indian Wars from 1765 to 1780. The game uses the female assassin Aveline as the protagonist for the first time. During the game, the protagonists of the third generation will appear as a guest appearance. The plot of the game itself is relatively mediocre, the process is not long, and the combat feel is average, but it was a masterpiece on PSV back then. The work was ported to the previous generation host platform in 2014, and was remade this year and the third generation HD was also logged on to the current host platform at the same time.

V. "Assassin's Creed: Pirates" 2013 WP/iOS/Android

Assassin's Creed: Pirates' Aerial Arts can be regarded as a derivative independent work of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. The story of the game tells the well-known pirate world. French pirate Lebs made the news of his treasure public before he was arrested, while our protagonist Alonzo Batira met Lebs before he became a legend. After being exposed to his captive identity and returned to the pirate, the journey of treasure hunt began. The game belongs to the category of strategy games that incorporate action elements, and adopts turn-based offensive and defensive naval battles, making players more handy in operation.

VI. "Assassin's Creed: The Rebellion" 2014 PS3/X360/WiiU/PS4/XB1/PC/Mac/NDS

"Assassin's Creed: Rebellion" is a relatively special work in the "Assassin's Creed" series of games. To be special, it mainly refers to two aspects: one is the plot, and the other is the status of the work in the "Assassin's Creed" series of games.

It means that the plot is special, you can tell by looking at the title. This is a game that describes the story of an assassin rebelling into a Templar and hunting a mentor. In addition, this game tells players the bond between the assassin and the Templar from multiple aspects, rather than directly defining the Templar as a villain like the previous "assassin" games. Such an "assassin" game is difficult not to attract the attention of the majority of players. In addition, this work also plays a role in filling the gap between the 3rd and 4th generations, repairing the pits dug out between many of the two works, and at the end it also echoes the plot of the "Assassin's Creed" Revolution. So in terms of the plot, this work is a relatively important work in "Assassin's Creed".

Speaking of special status, it is a debate about whether it belongs to the main story of "Assassin's Creed". In the previous article, in the comments on the review article of "Assassin's Creed" that we followed together in those years, many players mentioned the issue about "Rebellion". Many players believe that in terms of the importance of the plot of "Rebel", the game can undoubtedly be classified as the realm, just like "Brotherhood" and "Revelation" after the second generation.However, many players also believe that although the plot of this game is excellent, the main line process is too short and the game size is insufficient. In addition, from the production process of this work, the 4th generation engine is still used, and the game mechanism, user interface, graphics and operations are almost the same as the 4th generation released the previous year. The release platform of the work is also the previous generation PS3 and xbox360. Although it is an independent game, it is more appropriate to classify it as a 4th generation large DLC.

In fact, there is no need to argue like this about the status of "The Rebellion". After all, whether the game is fun or not depends on its game quality, not its identity. In addition, Ubisoft no longer counts the game since the 4th generation, and probably has the idea of making more money by producing more products. After all, when "The Rebellion" was first released, it was priced at a complete masterpiece. So everyone should have fun games.

7. "Assassin's Creed: The True Color" 2014 iOS/Android

This work is another effort by Ubisoft on the mobile terminal under the name of "Assassin's Creed". This game is a role-playing game, and the game background is set in Renaissance Italy again. As a mobile game, this game has inherited many elements of the console "Assassin's Creed" series, such as stealth, wall climbing, assassination, etc., as well as many hoods, slings, and crusades. Although due to the limitations of mobile phone functions, many aspects cannot be compared with the host, this work does not disappoint the name of "assassin". However, as a mobile game, Ubisoft cannot avoid adding a lot of krypton gold content. Whether it is worth it can only be left to the majority of players to judge.

8. The trilogy of "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" 2015-2016 PS4/XB1/PC/PSV

The "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" series is divided into three parts: China, India and Russia. All three are 2.5D horizontal board pass games. Players can play assassins of three different countries' cultures, including the Chinese assassin Shao Yun during the impending destruction of the Ming Dynasty, the Indian assassin Arbaaz Mir during the war between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company, and the Russian assassin Nikolai Orelov after the October Revolution. Although the gameplay is similar, it is rare that the styles of the three chapters are different according to the culture of the country where they are located. For example, the Chinese chapter gives people the feeling of ink and painting landscape paintings, while the Indian chapter has a unique regional style in India, while the Russian chapter gives people a cold and serious feeling. In general, the three chapters have their own characteristics, and the plot is closely related to other works in the series, which is worth a try.

9. "Assassin's Creed: Liaoyuan" 2018 iOS/Android

Ubisoft's mobile game "Assassin's Creed: The True Color" launched in 2014,Although I want to give players an opportunity to experience Assassin's Creed on their mobile phones, it turns out that games like Assassin's Creed may not be suitable for experience on mobile phones. So Ubisoft adjusted its strategy and launched this "Liaoyuan" in 2018. Ubisoft's purpose is to create a work suitable for mobile phone play, so we met the Q version of Assassin and the first strategy-type "Assassin's Creed" game for the first time. In general, this is a casual mobile game. Although it is under the banner of Assassin's Creed and you can also see many familiar characters in the game, it really has nothing to do with the traditional Assassin's Creed game.

The above are the "Assassin" works other than the orthodox "Assassin's Creed". So many have been discovered for the time being. I wonder if there are any other missing. I wonder how many assassin players have played these games. Everyone is welcome to leave a message to communicate. In the next issue, let’s talk about the novels about Assassin’s Creed, so stay tuned!
