Chapter 149 1st Prize
Soon, other players also discovered that the popularity of "The Legend of Martial Arts" really did not decline, but continued to rise!
Like "Empower Sword", most players buy this game for the plot. After watching the plot, few players choose to play it a second time.
But "The Legend of Martial Arts" is different. It has too many branch plots, and you may not be able to play them all three or four times. Moreover, even if the plot is aside, its combat system is very playable.
Swordsmanship, swordsmanship, fist palms, hidden weapons... The martial arts routes in "The Legend of Martial Arts" are divided into many genres, and with different talents and professional skills, the complexity of the combination is too high!
Most of the players who are stuck are stuck at the beginning. Those who can continue to play, almost without exception, go to the second and third brushes, at least to get through both good and evil endings. OK.
On the forum, there are also many people posting discussions, martial arts genres, plot flow, professional skills, related strategies... There are so many things that can be discussed in this game, which is more than ten times richer than "Swordsman Inquiry"!
Soon, the first-month sales of this batch of Chinese-style games came out.
The first-month sales of the much-watched "Swordsman Inquiry" was 320,000, which is actually quite good for a domestic stand-alone game.
And the first month sales of "Wulin Heroes" exceeded 400,000!
In fact, this number is not very good. In terms of sales, it is not even as good as "Plants vs. Zombies", let alone the level of "Warcraft"; in terms of revenue, the first month's turnover is not as good as the mobile game "My Name is MT".
However, for domestic stand-alone games, especially martial arts-style games, this number is actually quite good. After all, this is a niche theme, and there is an intention to complete political tasks in it. This sales volume is actually a domestic martial arts-style stand-alone game. the highest level!
More importantly, this game allows players to see the infinite possibilities of Chinese-style games. Domestic stand-alone games do not only rely on selling plots, but can also be used as sandboxes or very complex gameplay. The only limitation is Designer's mind.
...
Soon, the game media published articles one after another.
"The biggest favorite to compete for the first prize?
"Could it be difficult for a martial arts game to present the whole arena? This game does it! 》
"Player Comments: The world of martial arts with a high degree of freedom! 》
"Game Evaluation: Although it is difficult to get started, the content is rich, and the creativity is invincible! 》
"Chen Mo, who has always been good at Western fantasy, has proved that he can also control the Chinese style! 》
Of course, there are also a lot of game media who are playing "Inquiries with the Sword", but in comparison, it is clear that the content of these manuscripts is much weaker. It's touching, but there's not much to say about the gameplay.
In the end, with the announcement of the Tourism Committee announcing the final selection results of this Chinese style game theme event, everything was settled.
"The Legend of Wu Lin Heroes" was selected as the first prize, while "Swordsmanship" was only ranked second.
Although the official document of the Tourism Committee does not have any specific attitude at all, it can be regarded as a consensus and a final decision. It is equivalent to the official recognition that the game "Wulin Heroes" is the best Chinese style martial arts game at the moment. one.
At the same time as the selection results came out, on the home page of the game editor, an appreciation article for "The Legend of Martial Arts" was also posted.
"For a long time, domestic stand-alone games have been limited to the mode of 'killing monsters, leveling up, and going through the plot', which has caused players to tire. However, the designers are reluctant to innovate the gameplay, but constantly focus on the plot and the screen. Kung fu has made domestic stand-alone games, especially Xianxia games, into embroidered pillows with empty skins and no cores.
"
"However, "The Legend of Wu Lin Heroes" has completely changed this model. Its biggest feature is the 'freedom'. Players can decide their own attributes, martial arts, and even choose a decent or evil route. The ultra-high degree of freedom is something that no other game in China can do.”
"Although this game still has many shortcomings, such as high difficulty in getting started, weak guidance, etc., this does not affect its success. It is still the best martial arts-themed stand-alone game on the market, no one."
"Maybe domestic designers should learn something from "The Legend of Martial Arts" and concentrate on designing the gameplay, rather than expecting to change the plot even if they have developed a new game."
This appreciation article is equivalent to the official final decision of the Tourism Committee, which has finalized the status of the game "The Legend of Martial Arts" in the domestic stand-alone games, and also criticized "The Sword and the Love", which only pays attention to the plot and graphics. , while ignoring the domestic stand-alone game of the gameplay.
In the end, with "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes", Chen Mo successfully won the first prize of this event, and his popularity in the game industry has been greatly improved!
...
Experience shop.
Su Jinyu said in surprise: "Look, store manager, "The Legend of Martial Arts" has been listed on the recommendation position on the homepage of the official app market!"
Chen Mo looked at it, and sure enough, "The Legend of Martial Arts" has been listed in the best recommendation position on the homepage of the official app market for a week.
The impact of this recommendation position on sales is secondary, mainly because of the high popularity of Chen Mo.
In addition, the people from the Tourism Committee have also sent over the certificate yesterday, which reads "First Prize in the Season of Traditional Culture Themed Game Activities". formal.
After all, it is also a very important trophy. Chen Mo asked Su Jinyu to put it on the bookshelf of the experience store and make a special place for it.
Su Jinyu said with emotion: "When the store manager made "The Legend of Martial Arts", there were still many people who were not optimistic, thinking that the store manager was too risky, but in fact, whether it is sales or expert evaluation, "Wulin Heroes" The Legend of Heroes is a great success!"
Zheng Hongxi said: "Actually, I was also worried at first, for fear that players would not accept this mode, but it seems that I have been worrying too much."
Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he is very confident in "The Legend of Martial Arts" and has long expected this ending.
As a game with plot as its selling point, "Swordsman's Love" is far from the level of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it is nothing more than excellent.
How can a game with empty skins and no core be compared with a classic game like "The Legend of Martial Arts" that players can play for six or seven years?
For the past life, the development of domestic games has been severely frustrated. Of course, the reasons here are very complicated. There are reasons for piracy, the reasons for players' consumption concepts, and the reasons for game developers and the game market.
But no matter what the reason is, the final result is that domestic stand-alone games are almost extinct, game makers are going further and further on the road to krypton gold games, and even some game companies that already have enough funds and technology are unwilling to develop stand-alone games anymore. I have to say it's kind of sad.
The reason why Chen Mo chose to make "The Legend of Martial Arts" is also to let players in this world experience this martial arts game of its own, and to inspire the designers of domestic stand-alone games in this world.
