games website "Ice War" detailed review: there are ideas, no practice

Epiphany Games is a little-known company

"Ice Field War" this game "micro" jump ticket once, the result of a jump jumped to the end of November, this behavior hopes that small game companies do not learn, players cool you do not make money, you will not have players remember you... Good evaluation begins.

The Ice War game is, as you might have guessed, similar to the Power of Spells, an RTS+RPG genre that focuses on a low-fantasy (that is, high-realism) world called Amorra, a world that can't be said to be spring, but seasons are normal. Until one day the endless winter invaded Danaan country, followed by the shangur winter monster turned the entire world into ice, as the embodiment of Danaan heroes to defend their world and country.

Does good fight evil...

I have a rough look at the PDF Settings, the general concept of the world and the idea of race classification has come out, now in the game you can also choose two of the races (3 heroes per race, power type, magic type, auxiliary type.

However, if you follow the urine of this kind of confrontation game, it should be a hero not a race) to play the game, according to this urine will definitely make up more countries and races, and then sell in other forms, of course, this is not what you players need to care about.

The feeling of the ice is still very strong

1. Hardware and picture effect

I did not go to the official website to see, the configuration given in the forum is as follows:

Gaming system: Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7

CPU: Core 2 Duo or higher

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series (equivalent or higher), must support DirecTX 9.0C

Memory: 3 GB

The relative configuration of the evaluated computer is as follows:

Game system: WIN7 64-bit

CPU: AMD960T 3.1GHz not overclocked

Graphics card: Sotai Card Burner GTX460 1G

Memory: Weigang 8G

At the resolution of 1920X1080, the effect is only 20~30 frames, the delay of the card is extremely obvious, it can be seen that this game is not optimized, the effect can reach 60 frames, many players playing the game found that the effect is fully open and fully closed can feel the obvious difference, why? Look at the picture below:

As shown in the figure, the difference between anti-aliasing X2 and X16 is not obvious in the game, and the highest and lowest difference in the texture of the material is not big, the whole picture has two differences, the first difference is the shadow represented by the red box, all off, all open is also very vague;

The biggest difference is the trees and grass, but how many of these things can be used except to cover the poor ground material! You can't cover the hero, and the more the card, you think everyone likes the grass! What's more, the overall color of the game is very damaging to the eyes, and the eyes will feel very painful after a long time...

2. Get started

Seeing this kind of hedging and RPG style of cultivating heroes I think people are more likely to associate with DOTA than with Spell Power, which, to be honest, is really not like DOTA, but more like an old game called Demigod (don't associate with someone in the literature group).

Because the core of the game is to grab points, and grab points have resources to earn, you can only send troops with resources - yes, not automatically, but you need to spend money to build, resource acquisition can not be collected, it is by grabbing points, so RTS components are a little more than DOTA.

This ridiculous pillar is why everyone is fighting to the death

In a specific game mode, the game to kill the hero will GAMEOVER without eliminating the base camp of both sides, and the hero who just came up (called AVATAR in the game) will be beaten by more than 2 waves of junior soldiers, and the balance setting is OK.

However, the overall speed of the game is slow, and the frequency of melee strikes and long-range shooting need to wait for a long time, which directly slows down the rhythm of the game.

There is a point that slows down the pace of the game, the whole game shortcut keys are a lot, but most of these shortcut keys are skill shortcut keys and military shortcut keys, the action shortcut keys are almost 0, but think about it, so that if the rhythm of the game is not slowed down a little, the hand stump has long been beaten by the enemy.

This curious creature...

Unexpectedly, the magic effect of this game is extremely gorgeous, at every turn, the full screen flash or hit your screen blood splattered cold light everywhere, but in the effect of full open under the bright visual impact of no dazzling, light left dazzling.

I don't know why I suddenly thought of the hell thunder, such a long memory ah...... Thanks to Baidu Encyclopedia and the worm fly classmate for the small picture

Play evil in the past life are broken wings of the angel, first of all, the screen is ice for thousands of years, blocking the line of sight, and the home is gorgeous and eye-catching, but this way the enemy also dare not play, flash flash dead (laughter)

More regrettably, the whole game model is poor, which styles are playing, although the game is relatively durable but the content is not durable, coupled with the entire game map is extremely huge, so play for a long time is full of empty feeling. There is a LAN, but for the majority of players, it can only maintain the life of this game for a week.

There's a lot of this in the game, stretches and stretches of nothing, okay

3. Shortcomings and deficiencies

①  The first is also the most deadly one, the entire game BGM and sound effects are extremely lacking, the task is not guided dubbing, the details of the character's action are almost non-existent, and the game time of 1 hour is almost spent with the 2 to 3 BGM.

And the sound of the game has a little lag, basically if the enemy suddenly appears behind you don't be surprised, people are walking casually. In this regard, I can only advise you to turn off the BGM and listen to a concert with a player such as Qianqian mute (I am not wrong ~).

②  Very deadly setting, that is, the low-level arms are a team of a team, into the battlefield they will disperse to start fighting, when a single arm is damaged want to move a tune is a team all out, how can it!

Tussock shrimp

③  This group of Germans is how to make all the troops and heroes are thousands of blood, I can not say that this setting is bad, but throughout the strategy game for such a long time, this setting is absolutely non-mainstream, to show personality or to start from the basic skills ah

④  Because their main manpower and resources are used to data, so the investment in art is not so much, the game directly into the original painting - the original painting ah, has come to this point. I am not saying that the original painting of this game is not beautiful, open the PDF inside there are a few landscape original painting is very artistic conception, but you slightly fine processing ah.

No cover the console, press ~ directly open, this is to the sky!

But LAN does, you can find a few friends who like this kind of confrontation to play a few games, leisure even if

4. In general

In general, this game program is very complete, there are not a lot of bugs and errors, but the balance and some of the audio needed in the game, the screen is not reached, if the so-called DLC and other slowly supplement then the meaning of this game will be greatly reduced.

But then again, the reason why this game is made like this, is indeed caused by the lack of money and manpower, the game industry is so cruel, it is true that you have good ideas and creativity, but also selected a good type of game, the lack of material you make the finished product no matter how serious is not the player feedback.

What's more, the legitimate version of this game needs to login account password into the game like online games, and has not landed on other game platforms to do backup, if one day this game company tragedy, then the players who buy the legitimate version may be a tragedy.

The original painting is awesome!
