"I just don't understand, who came up with the slogan of the tower defense genre?"

In the early hours of the morning, the Perak platform.

ZC live broadcast room.

As an anchor who mainly plays gacha games, ZC's live broadcast has always been hardcore, and most of them are mainly live broadcasts to play various incurable diseases, which belongs to the strategy to the anchor.

Normally, he would have been off the air a long time ago, but because of the opening of the Ice and Snow Festival today, under the strong request of many viewers, he plans to find some new games to try the live broadcast effect.

If it's good, it's okay to get a new game in the new year.

After all, it's just the right meal.

After trying out a few new gacha games produced by large manufacturers, ZC feels that after experiencing it, it can only be regarded as no surprise or joy, and it is not a success.

Vertical painting、CV、Character design、Plot,The level of these is still online。

But there's nothing too much to brag about.

It's still the same old thing, change the skin and add the energy of the giant platform to carry out overwhelming publicity.

So, ZC lowered its eyes again and tried to find a factory a few grades lower.

In previous years, it was not without surprises in small factories.

Only this time, he was somewhat disappointed.

In a medium-sized factory, I flipped through several game trials in a row.

Basically, when you click in, you type 'the latest idea!' Tower Defense Type! '.

When playable, it's still dressed in turn-based skin.

Some factories are even more outrageous.

Directly make the characters controlled by the player into towers.

You can then draw cards to equip these towers with weapons and armor.

Do you want to prevent it?

Tower defense!

He also has towers, and he can wear armor.

Isn't this tower defense?

Let ZC be speechless for a while.

"How is the quality of the games in this batch of factories messed up this year?" ZC frowned: "I remember last year, the predecessor of this Jinhai Entertainment was Jinpeng Entertainment, right?" Last year's "Store Manager Chong Chong" was quite novel, why did he do it so rubbish this year. ”

"And that Feishang Entertainment, what he does also has a peculiar smell."

"These companies are all under the banner of tower defense, but what does this tower defense mean? Who made it? "ZC is confused.

The barrage is also surging.

"I heard that it seems to be a company that does non-gacha games next door, what is it called the number one expert or what is the number one butler."

Blue Star, which dominates the gacha system, occupies the vast majority of Kryptonians in this category.

in their eyes.

There are only two types of games on Blue Star.

One is gacha and the other is non-gacha.

The second is that he is indifferent to other gameplay, and only looks at whether the new game can get its own G-spot.

Don't tell the old man so much nonsense, if you can be a wife, you will krypton, and if you can't be a wife, you will leave.

Labor and management are busy in a day, and they come to the game to have fun.

What kind of plot, what gameplay, what innovation do you tell me.

Why don't you talk to me about the character's cups.

As for the number one player company next door that has been gaining momentum lately.

What's that?

What games have you ever played?

Haven't done a gacha game before?

Sorry, haven't heard of it, not interested.

"It's the number one player...... right," there are also players who play more miscellaneous game types, and the barrage corrected.

"I'll look for it." Hearing this, ZC opened the browser and searched the company's official website.

He'd heard of the name Ready Player One, but the games he made didn't match the type of streaming contract he signed, and he barely knew much about it before.

After logging in to the official website.

At a glance, you can see the new work "Tomorrow's Ark" that is promoted on the big screen on the homepage

The game genre column reads: Tower defense strategy game

Both PC and mobile phones can be played, which is also the old tradition of all Blue Star gacha games, and the purpose is naturally to make more money.

Click on the download and it won't take long to finish.

Due to the several so-called 'tower defense' played in the previous interview, ZC has lost patience.

For this game, which is also under the banner of 'tower defense', ZC is somewhat skeptical.

After clicking on the Ark of Tomorrow, he began to skip wildly.

Skip CG, skip the opening plot, skip the dialogue.

Then the next moment, what appeared in front of him was a game interface dominated by gray-white compositions.

The composition of the interface is quite monotonous, and it even looks a little rough.

It is nothing more than stacking several high platforms with bricks, and then paving the ground with square bricks like grid lines.

On the far left is a blue square door, and on the far right, there is a red door.

Just seeing this picture, ZC has a bad feeling.

You're not even as good as the first level of Jinhai Entertainment next door......

That's pretty basic, isn't it?

Moreover, this Blue Gate also has the same performance in Jinhai Entertainment, which is probably the meaning of the final front.

All the player needs to do is not let the monsters break through here.

"I won't wait for a turn-based game...... "For the few 'tower defense' works just now,Let ZC feel a little apprehensive。

In the next moment, a beautiful girl with a goose egg face with rabbit ears appeared in the interface and guided him in a gentle voice.

"Doctor, the monster is coming, please use Amiya to defend and counterattack! Amiya is a warlock-type operator, and is better suited to fight on a high platform in the distance, so ask the doctor to give command. ”

ZC followed the novice's guidance, and the rabbit-eared lady who was incorporated into the lower right corner and turned into a small avatar was directly dragged and placed on one of the high platforms at will.

Immediately afterward, a steady stream of source stone insects covered in spikes began to emerge from the red door frame.

Just as the source stone worm was about to reach the middle line, Amiya, who was standing on the high platform, waved her sleeve robe and summoned a wave of energy from the void.

Syllable!

The energy wave smashed on the source stone worm, killing one in an instant.

Then, he raised his hand again and terminated the second source stone worm.

But there were quite a few monsters coming out of the red door, there were seven or eight of them, and Amiya's raised hand was shaking back and forth, so that her attack speed was almost unable to catch up with the speed of the monster.

When the monster was about to leap over Amiya and charge towards the unguarded blue door behind.

The next moment, the small icon on the right side of her suddenly lit up.

ZC subconsciously clicked on the icon and found that it was the character's skill.

【Tactical Chant Type Y】

Description: When released, gain +30 attack speed

With a slight click, Amiya suddenly swirled in a circle of energy waves all over her body, and the speed of raising her hand increased significantly.

It was almost the distance that the monster was about to cross the line, and with several consecutive hand raises, it didn't take long to complete the clearance.

The first wave of monsters was successfully dealt with.

ZC, who was originally frowning, also showed a trace of strangeness in his eyes.

Even the barrage began to raise doubts.

"Huh?"

"This tower defense game...... It doesn't seem to be the same as the tower defense that ZC just played. ”

"It's a little subtle that can't be described, but if you want to say it's tower defense, I feel like it's a little ...... Odd? It's kind of like a mix of placement + action classes. ”

"I can't say, I'll see."

Since there wasn't much to show at first, it wasn't turn-based, so it didn't get too much attention from players.

But immediately after that, the core of the tower defense element finally began to slowly emerge.

The second wave of source stone insects was ready to attack, slowly walking out of the red door.

And this time the number is more intensive.

Judging from the experience of the first wave, with Amiya's attack speed, it is obviously impossible to deal with.

At this moment, the deployment point in the bottom right corner of the screen starts jumping.

A new row of Operators also entered the queue at this moment, entering the deployment preparation screen in the lower right corner, but at this time they were all dark gray, indicating that they could not be deployed.

Each Operator will be marked with a corresponding deployment cost, and operators can only be delegated once there are enough deployment points.

As the source stone worm slowly approached, the deployment point of the automatic jump also arrived at 13 at this moment.

"Judging from the beginner's teaching just now, the Pioneer Operator should be prioritized...... Is this it? ZC hesitated to find a girl with long silver-gray hair and a pair of wolf ears among a series of small icons.

Her deployment cost is also exactly 13.

Without saying a word, he dragged her lightly, and then deployed on the path that the source stone worm must pass.

"This operator's positioning seems to be hand-to-hand combat with monsters, and he can only attack the monster of a unit in front of him, and the attack power doesn't seem to be too high."

"Amiya slaps one by one, and it takes two or even three knives to kill her." ZC explains while operating.

Soon, new problems arose.

He found that the operator seemed to be unable to stop the monster.

Or rather, only two monsters can be stopped.

There were more than a dozen source stone insects approaching in this wave, but she blocked the two, and the third monster had already begun to leak through her side, and was finally taken away by Amiya's backhand.

But the fourth and fifth also began to cross the line, getting closer and closer to the blue door behind them.

Now the problem arises.

A total of two operators were deployed, and even the monsters couldn't stop it.

Although his list of candidates to be deployed has capable fighters, it is all gray and cannot be clicked at all.

"No, eh, eh! How is this game designed? Can't get past the first level? ZC shouted as if trying to call the monster back.

With so many viewers watching, as a strategy-oriented anchor, it would be too good to not be able to pass the first level.

And at this moment, the skill icon on the wolf-eared girl also appeared.

As if seeing a life-saving straw, ZC decisively chose to click.

The next moment, a trace of golden light burst out of the wolf girl's body, and a slender sword fell from the sky, and the sword rain quickly landed, encompassing an area around the wolf girl's body, spreading in a cross grid, fixing all the moving monsters around her, and dealing a volley of damage.

This is not the end, ZC found that the cost (deployment point) that was originally stretched is increasing rapidly at this moment!

Almost instantly, it jumped to more than 20 points.

The list of things to be deployed, which was originally gray, is now almost all highlighted!

"That's how I played?" As if suddenly enlightened, ZC hurriedly deployed another operator positioned as a reloaded operator in front of the wolf girl.

The number of monsters that this kind of operator can block is 3, and the blood is high and the defense is thick, even if it resists the damage of monsters for a while, it will not be killed.

After the urgent need is solved, the rest of the operation begins to gradually leisurely.

Basically, it was Amiya Void who slapped the monster, the wolf girl slashed twice, and the heavily armed brother in front was responsible for stopping the monster torrent.

After the next round of deployment costs were jumped, ZC dragged out an orange-haired sister with rabbit-like fox ears, positioned as a high-platform shooter.

This sister seems to have not woken up, and when she was deployed, she dragged the tail note and made a lazy 'in~this~in~oh~' strange tone.

But ZC found that this sister is really doing things, don't look at her talking slowly, she shoots strangely and belongs to the kind of dead hand.

After placing the high platform, a few sudden bursts will solve all the monsters in the second wave.

At this point, the settlement screen of [End of Battle] also pops up in the interface.

This is the end of the first level, which is of a teaching nature.

But ZC's eyes revealed a different meaning.

"This game...... Seems to be interesting. ”

"It does play differently than the previous gacha games, but I can't tell you for a while."

"I'll take a closer look."

With that, ZC opened the second level again.

This time, the battle map is a little larger than the first level, but the overall composition is still monotonous, basically a small map stacked from grids.

I don't know why, but ZC is starting to like this monotony a little bit now.

Clean, concise, and able to find at a glance where your deployed operators are, what they are doing, and when the skill bar is good.

At this time, if you make a scene that is too fancy, it will hinder the player's judgment of various UI interfaces.

The second level is more familiar with the road.

At the beginning, the wolf girl is prioritized, blocking the first wave of monster invasions, and letting her recharge first.

ZC found that the character skills in the game will be automatically filled with the deployment time.

Wait until the skill is better, then turn it on.

cost points start jumping wildly.

Then, put down the 'Here' girl and put it on the high platform next to her to lock up the enemy, and shoot one by one.

This sister left a deep impression on ZC in the last level.,It's the type of people who don't talk much.,ZC especially likes her.。

Wait until the follow-up cost is better again.

ZC put down a series of operators such as heavy equipment, melee combat, and warlock in turn.

Under the compact and orderly planning, the difficulty of the second level is not great, and the customs clearance is smooth.

But ZC's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"Brothers, I haven't tasted anything at this level, I'll taste it again."

Directly click on the third level, and the more proficient ZC has also changed from the initial nervousness to leisure.

For some reason, when the right operators were successfully deployed, they watched as they took care of the monsters with ease.

There is always a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It was a refreshing feeling like arranging troops and holding the ticket to victory.

There is also a feeling of occupying the high ground from the level of IQ.

But it's IQ, and it's not as brain-burning as the games in the Sokoban series, and some levels even have only a single solution.

In this kind of tower defense game, he is the leader who dominates everything, and he can go to the radical school, all deploy offensive operators, and go violent and quick killing.

You can also put the defense operators full, and look at the monsters in a hurry and helpless, but they can't live or die.

Especially looking at those monsters, under his reasonable allocation of operators, one by one they were defeated.

'Don't even think about it!' This kind of domineering and self-confidence will be fed back to the player himself at the end of a single level, which will make the cool feel at the peak.

This is a feeling that no other gacha game has ever given ZC, and he even sinks a little into it.

Soon, the third level ends.

"I feel like I'll have to taste it again." ZC is ready to go to the next level again.

The barrage couldn't hold back.

"Don't hook the eight products, let everyone taste the same products!"

"What's this game called? Tell me your name! ”

"It's a little interesting, this game seems to be really interesting, it's different from the previous gacha games, it's interesting."

"Hurry, hurry! I haven't played this game in two seconds! What's the porridge called? Tell me, I'm going to do the whole thing! ”

The Kryptonians, who were not very interested at first, were suddenly surprised by the novelty after the display of ZC's gameplay in several levels.

Moreover, in the process of his live demonstration, the defensive pleasure of having spare strength was also transmitted to the eyes of the audience.

I couldn't help but feel a little itchy in my heart, and began to ask ZC for the name of this game.

The porridge won't be too long.,Although I still like this game myself.,It's mainly a transition game.,The purpose is to help the protagonist earn a wave of game production funds.,As for the plot or something.,Because this book is not a fan of porridge...... Mainly write out the highlights of tower defense and gold absorption, even if the task is completed.,If you want to see the porridge plot, you can find other fanfiction...... Again, this book is mainly about making games.
