Everything is true, everything is permitted》

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is an action-adventure game produced by Ubisoft Montreal Studios. It is the sixth work in the Assassin's Creed series and was released on October 29, 2013.

The game tells the story of Edward's transformation from participating in a privateer war that gradually ended in the 18th century to the millennium confrontation between the Assassin League against the Templars. There will be many famous pirate kings in history such as Blackbeard and Charles Fann in history, leading players to explore the many islands and vast seas of the West Indies, recreating the golden age of the pirates.

On March 8, 2018, Ubisoft added simplified Chinese support to Uplay and Steam's version of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

The story of "Assassin's Creed 4: The Black Flag" is set in the Caribbean Sea in 1715, with the British youth Edward James Kenway, the protagonist of "Assassin's Creed 3". The game tells the story of the protagonist Edward becoming a smuggler pirate because he was unwilling to live a down-and-out life, but was chased by the naval assassins in a naval battle. Later, Edward participated in the privateer war that gradually ended in the 18th century and turned into a thousand-year confrontation between the assassins and the Templars.

Player Character

Edward Kenway, the protagonist of the work, is the father of Helson Kenway and Jenny Kenway, the grandfather of Connor Kenway among the 3 generations. He is the captain of the Jackdaw. He has the cool and handsomeness of Egio, he is arbitrary, he is arrogant, he is rebellious and greedy. His ambitions seemed to be put on robbing and enjoying women everywhere, rather than being someone's grandfather, he wanted to be a good and obedient child. The character of him always appears on the front line of burning, killing, looting, or in the gentle land of prostitutes.

NPC

In the game, players can see many wandering NPCs in the town. They have no characteristics and will not talk to the players. They exist as civilians in the game, and players may use them in certain tasks.

In addition, the hostile soldiers in the game are also a type of NPC. They will patrol in groups in safe areas, and players can kill them. Hostile soldiers are divided into ordinary guards, agile guards, grenadiers, senior officers and sniper guards.

Ordinary Guards

A very ordinary soldier has a weak combat power. If he is besieged, he can also throw a smoke bomb, but beware of other soldiers attacking him.

Agile Guard

The combat effectiveness is as low as that of ordinary soldiers, continuous active attack will be blocked, and anti-counter attacks will be easily solved.

Grenadier

The burly figure looks much better than ordinary guards, but the stupid ones will only throw bombs and jump away at once. The bombs have a certain attack range and sometimes they will blow their own people. When swinging the players with an axe, they cannot counterattack, so they can only break the defense.

Senior Officer

This character should be the most powerful in Assassin's Creed. Ordinary active attacks and breaking defenses will be blocked, and counterattacks will be blocked. You can only disarm and then assassinate. You will fire a cold gun if you are far away. Sniper guards usually appear at high places. When they shoot players, the player can press spaces to find enemies as meat shields, so that they can avoid damage by themselves, but sometimes they will jump down to attack players.

Special System

Combat System

Stealing

The stealth element in this game is similar to the previous game. There are still two main methods of stealth. One is to mingle among the crowd and rely on the stealth effect they produce. This stealth effect is relatively unstable. The distance between passers-by and Edward will disappear a little further. If the passers-by are walking, the player can only follow along and cannot change their course of action. Although hiring prostitutes costs money, they will always follow Edward, so they can continue to produce stealth effects. However, as long as the player uses fast walking, prostitutes may not be able to keep up, resulting in the stealth effect being invalid. When passing through the warning area, they may be teased by soldiers and lose team members, resulting in the stealth effect being destroyed. Therefore, in addition to tracking tasks, the application of this stealth method is relatively limited. [6]

Assassination

The series of conventional element assassinations still exist in this game, and the usage is similar. The conventional way is to look at the keys behind the enemy that is not in the combat state. Running players can also launch assassination against enemies who do not notice themselves or enter combat. Then, after locking the enemy from a high place, you can also use air assassination and jump to kill the enemy. As for assassination in the sneak area, hiding place assassination, and rope dart assassination mentioned in the previous article, I won’t talk about it here. Note that because Edward is equipped with a double-sleeved sword, if the two enemies are close enough, they can launch a double assassination. However, this assassination requires high positioning requirements. If the enemy fails and is not assassinated, they will immediately enter the combat state. Be cautious when using it. [6]

Hawkeye

The classic element Hawkeye series still exists in this game and its purpose is similar. Enter this state, the entire field of vision will turn into a reverse color, the enemy will emit red light, the friend will have blue light, and the important target will be golden light. At this time, the player adjusts Edward's perspective to aim at a target until a dot appears on his head. Even if the other party is locked, even if the Hawkeye is removed, he can still see the other party's whereabouts through the crowd or even the wall. He is a good helper for stealth and tracking. In some game tasks, players also need to identify and lock in key characters through Hawkeye. Note that you can walk and walk quickly in the Hawkeye state, but you cannot run, and you will get out of the state as soon as you run.

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag can bring fans of the series longer than the previous works, even if the story of the work is not the most intense. During dozens of hours of gameplay, players don't feel like they have nothing to do in the game. In addition to the main story that did not impress players, the world of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is full of wonderful exploration, secrets and adventures.

Lastly, I would like to recommend the mobile game that the editor has been playing recently
