"Ancient Sword Legend 3" new gameplay review: a little new activity

In April this year, I have written a DLC experience report for this game known as a strong agent, at that time, the "people complain" period, the announcement of DLC made a lot of players in the main line content have a heart, but the "challenge mode" mode is good, it is the exclusive appetizer of hardcore fans, casual entertainment players are obviously not really happy. Therefore, Candle Dragon, as one of the most close to the player's heart, has prepared new things for various Buddhist players.

"The Great Adventure of Persimmon"

"Ancient Sword Legend 3" as a domestic ARPG, the full real-time system changes, although on the one hand to strengthen the game, but on the other hand also increased the difficulty of the game, which made many disabled players have complained. This new play content can be described as unusual, all Say No to hardcore combat and complex operations, and make an independent platform adventure game in the game. Yes, you read that right, Candledragon has made a platform adventure game in this new DLC.

Although the game is new, experienced players can understand what to do at a glance. Like a typical puzzle adventure game, the core of the game is to collect items, unlock mechanisms, and achieve a certain goal. And we are naturally manipulating the soft and cute original persimmon to save our captured companions.

Just because this type of platform adventure game doesn't require complex controls and quick reflexes doesn't mean you can play it with your head on your shoulders. Polished level design is as much a problem as a reasonable climb in difficulty. Although it is not a racking of brains, but still have to think seriously about it, plan a reasonable route, avoid the enemy's attack, uncover numerous organs, and rescue their partners. If you can collect enough special items, you will be able to unlock the "real last level" and challenge the final BOSS - a big cat. The persimmon collected in the game can also be exchanged for rich rewards at NPCS outside the small game.

Although the size of this small game is not large, it is also complete. Platform adventure class should have it all, but also at the end of the exchange to the desired items, the overall experience is good. It can be seen that Candle dragon for the game content mining and do not want to be limited by the theme of the execution of how strong, whether it is operation or brain, both sides of the game can give you full, so that you have no complaints. I, for one, am still obsessed with their artists.

This small and exquisite play mode is also a part of the DLC content that I recommend as a priority to play. And the reason why it is recommended that you play "the original great adventure of Persimmon" is because the following "green onion strange Tan" may let you no longer have time to spare.

The Legend of the Green Onion

May see this title you will be slightly confused, even if you know that this is a multiplayer strategy board game, it is difficult to outline enough in your mind, but as long as you take a look at the board, I believe you will have a rough idea.

"Green onion Qitan" is definitely the main play content of this DLC content, the author did not pay attention during the trial to find that the colleagues around have begun to pack up their equipment to go home from work, it is really easy to indulge.

"It looks like Monopoly!"  

This should be your first thought, and it is a little similar, but you will soon notice that the "Green Onion Legend" has something more -- cards. And we are familiar with the "monopoly" type of gameplay is slightly different, "green onion Qitan" added card elements, this is not a prop card function card such as disposable consumables, more like "rich world" like combat resources.

This leads to, in the "Green onion Legend", when the player uses the dice to come to the open space, he does not use the "currency" to buy the land, but uses the field card to occupy, and there is no field card to occupy the land. And the field card can be arranged puppet cards to garrison, and between the field and the puppet can be obtained through the bond, so how to carry the field and the role with maximum efficiency in the limited hand is also a big choice point, and the card bond is the original set of Qianqiu play. The original Buddhist players' favorite poker content Qianqiu play has been new expansion here in another form, while ensuring the original gameplay relevance, seamlessly grafted to another completely different mode, the collision of the two elements formed this "green onion Qitan".

This is too interesting, the original "plate" type of play that was biased to luck through the use of card resources and the cooperation of doll cards, immediately became a certain competitive. You can play numerous combination tactics in this mode, whether it is strengthening the action figure card to see people kill, fight to the end; Or play the limits of operation, all flowering. Different card configurations with different tactics form different systems, which also gives a simple dice game depth.

As we all know, Qianqiu play as the design of Ancient Sword Legend 3 is to some extent irreplaceable, and the last update of Candle Dragon also brought a new card expansion to this card game. However, if the card game wants to enrich the experience, it is inevitable to make drastic changes in the rules and mechanisms, which may also make Qianqiu drama leap from a casual health game to a hardcore sophisticated game, which may be what most players do not expect. Because Qianqiu drama is not the main line of content, it is too sad to even play cards to become hardcore outside of the brutal battle, so the dragon wisely chose to avoid the problem of "card inflation", and instead added it as a basic element to another way of playing, and suddenly made it look new.

The relevance of the play itself is fully retained here, and a new fighting method is added between the cards to make people happy, combined with a certain luck component, so that the game is not too sophisticated, there is a certain randomness; It also makes the game exploitable. You can improve your strength by studying combinations and matches, and achieve no disadvantage in the game.

This clever combination, in my opinion, is quite commendable, as the production team did not limit itself to the concept of "cards", avoiding the high level of sophistication that is inevitable in all card games; Also did not abandon the effort of the card, will have the maximum use of resources, both to ensure the simple and easy feelings and have a certain playability, two birds with one stone, wonderful.

Conclusion:

Although it is only two small games independent of the main line, it can also be seen that the sincerity of the main team and the talent of the designers who are still thinking in China cannot be ignored. I always like to look for the bright spots in these small productions and appreciate them, and encourage those who sincerely love the game, and I can really feel that the creators care about the game. Constantly updated DLC is always free, just to make their volume look more substantial. Always afraid of losing the player, want to put all the good things to the player, this is the candle dragon.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that besides the play content, the English version of "Ancient Sword 3" has finally come out. As the first English cultural work of the series, it is also the first time for the series to face the overseas market with a complete appearance. I hope that "Ancient Sword 3" can promote the domestic game more far-reaching with a strong Chinese atmosphere.
