"Dark Legion" first evaluation: This VR shooting makes me want to buy Vive!

In the experimental base, I have experienced many VR games, including the domestically developed "XX", "XXX", "XXXX", and even "RAW DATA"... These games have left me very deep Impression, especially "RAW DATA" makes me urinate and I don't know how many times. But I didn't think that it would be this Dark Legion that really made me want to buy one of my own HTC Vives.

The Dark Legion was developed by the Ice World (formerly Palm Travel). Like the company’s previous Alien Crisis, it’s still an FPS (first-person shooter), and even internally called him Alien Crisis 3, but compared to the previous game, the game The earth-shaking changes. "It's just two games," Huang Huping, CEO of Glacier World, told Qingting.com.

However, what surprised me the most is that the developers of this game - only two people! Huang Huping is the game planner and program. The company's main beauty, Zhao Jintao, is responsible for modeling, material and plot writing, etc.: "Since the "Different Star Crisis", I started to do it. It took us half a year before and after."

So, what is the quality of the game played by the two men in The Dark Legion? What are the characteristics compared to other FPS? Why did the author create the urge to buy equipment? Let's take a good look at it. In addition, the "Dark Legion" is expected to go online in late February this year. We will select 20 wonderful responses in this article, and send the download code of the game after the game is released!

The joy of fighting + exploring: it is not the same as painting the ground!

If the "Different Star Crisis" is to draw the ground for the prison, the user circle in a small place, and "Dark Legion" is to open the world to the entire player. You can explore as much as you can by walking and teleporting in huge scenes.

Huang Huping said: "Our FPS is not only to emphasize the coolness of the battle, but also to let users enjoy the fun of exploration." Players in the game, can be in the training ground, the surface of the alien planet, the alien cave, the aliens Explore in six scenarios, such as bases and laboratories, each with its own characteristics.

The game uses a linear and deep level mode, which is different from the way RAW DATA is used to select small scenes. This kind of promotion and rich scenes are basically the main reason why I bought HTC Vive.

Think about it, a huge, deep-rooted virtual world, and play for hours! It really seems to open the door to the new world. Of course, not dizzy is the basic condition. I have played this game for three or four hours in a row. Apart from feeling sore limbs, there is no dizziness.

The enemies in the game are basically divided into two types: alien monsters and biochemical reformers. The former is basically close to the player attack, the latter will use a wealth of firearms, including pistols, sniper rifles and machine guns. From the beginning of the transformation of the people, the difficulty of the game has also begun to increase significantly, but the fun has also increased:

All the railings, oil drums, and gates in the scene suddenly have a meaning: use them as a shelter, and take the opportunity to fight back behind them. At this point, you can feel the difference between VR games and traditional FPS: in those games, just press a button, the protagonist will hide behind the obstacles beautifully, and in VR, you need to really kneel and sideways to avoid the opposite side. attack.

Especially when facing three or four enemies at the same time, I can really experience the feeling of facing the rain of bullets, and the sense of accomplishment of successful completion of the opposite is quite large.

But the more regrettable thing is that the biochemical people began to appear in the game, making the first half of the game slightly dull.

A lot of guns, subtle touches, sour sound

I am also a war-torn person. Which FPS in the West I have never seen? What "Halo", "Destiny", "The Whole Blockade", "Killing Zone", "Call of Duty", I talked with them! But I also can't think of any guns that are in these games, but not in the Dark Legion.

Pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, rockets, grenades, and other "frequent passengers" in the FPS need not say much, even bows, C4 bombs, shields are not very common weapons, also appeared in the "Dark Legion" .

The firearm is fired in a similar way to RAW DATA, and it needs to be removed from the back to the firearm. It is commendable that each weapon has a special way of playing, very similar to real weapons. For example , after the machine gun has the clip, you need to manually pull the bolt. The shotgun needs manual sliding. The rocket launcher needs to load the rocket into it... This kind of detail will have a huge interest in the game. promote.

In addition to firearms, the game can also use fireball attack, press the double board machine to enter the "magician" mode, this is a bit inexplicable, because the background of the game is hard sci-fi, the protagonist suddenly began to swear magic ......

In addition , the sound effects of all weapons, whether it is fire or bullet hit the background / enemy, the effect is a lever, it sounds like that. This is also the unanimous opinion of the small partners including many of my experiences.

Huang Huping told Qingting.com, the game is ready to join the weapon upgrade mode. For example, the submachine gun can be turned into a "Gatlin machine gun" weapon after the upgrade, so that players can have more fun to grow and collect. "It is even possible to join melee weapons."

The attraction of the virtual world: to appreciate the future technology in advance

In The Dark Legion, you can often find some bones. Beside these poor forerunners, there are often words like the last words, or tell the player to decrypt the key, or provide some skills to deal with the enemy, but the players can Learn about the ins and outs of the story, and find a big yin mou at the end of the game...

This form of storytelling is not unusual, but what excites me is the expression of the words - they are all written on a transparent tablet. Reminds me of the all-transparent mobile phone that Robert Downey used in the Iron Man 2 movie.

This transparent tablet is made in the real world and may require advances in many aspects of technology. But in the VR world, it is just a simple modeling plus particle effect. But people have the magical feeling of holding "future equipment" in their hands.

I can't help but think that in the future, people can experience high-tech equipment that can't be experienced in reality in VR in advance, which may be a great charm that VR brings to us.

In the future, Glacier World plans to add voice interaction, multiplayer cooperation mode, etc. to the game. I believe that with the addition of these elements, Dark Army will attract more people.

Insufficient: Training is too long!

Although the author said many advantages of the "Dark Legion", but the game still has a relatively big problem, that is - the training is too long!

Before entering the game officially, the player must use all the weapons in the training field, and also meet the corresponding requirements. The specific form is "the target hit rate is XX% with XX bullets", and has a simple - Medium-difficult, three levels of choice.

Although it looks more human, the actual experience is still quite impatient. I don't have to say much about the author's experience. Another experienced colleague is playing training, but it has not been achieved for a long time. In general, it has taken us more than an hour to basically train. At this time, the game has not officially started.

Huang Huping’s intention is to “make players familiar with all firearms before the official game and reduce the cost of learning”. However, the requirements of the training are not to the extent of “familiarity” but to the stage of “proficiency”. After hearing the complaints from Qingting.com, Huang Huping also said that he would make adjustments.

In addition, there are some other major problems in the game:

1. There are some small bugs in the game. For example, sometimes there are no props, and somehow they are shot in the bunker. These small bugs sometimes affect the actual experience of the game.

2. The most fun part of the game is the mid-to-late period and the biochemical transformation of people fighting, but this seems to be a bit dull in the first half of the game.

However, overall, the game is still in the beta test stage. At this time, it has already been on the green channel of Steam. The Ice World is also working overtime to modify various design problems and bugs. I believe that after the game is officially launched, We will see a more perfect game.

Summary: I can't see that only two people have spent half a year doing it! Once again, the truth of "hardware depends on content"

Wang Congqing, president of HTC Vive China, also said that many excellent VR games are from the hands of only one or two people. The Dark Legs once again proved this sentence.

Finally, send a welfare, what kind of interaction does this sister have with the players in The Dark Legion? I have to find out in the game yourself.

The above is a fake welfare, "Dark Legion" is expected to go online in late February this year. We will select 20 wonderful responses in this article, and send the download code of the game after the game is released!
