The last post’s title had ‘#1’, it meant that next post would be #2. This post missed its right time for several reasons. The original post (in Korean) explains the reasons in detail, but this post will explain briefly because it is related Korean game.
This post is related to some games, but main idea is ‘memorable items are beautiful when they remain as memories’, I think.
The topic of this post is described in above image. The introduction of game is only one sentence – ‘The return of SRPG(Strategy Role-playing Game) that swept Korean domestic game market in the 1990s’. Many people in my age were influenced by its original series (several games were released in 1995~2000). If I choose ‘only one game that most affected my life’, I will choose other one. But this series made my point of view about game. when I heard a news that ‘a game company bought IP of this game and would made a game based on Nintendo Switch’, I prepared to buy Nintendo Switch although its price is about 300 USD. I can buy gaming console for one game. I already bought Sony PlayStation 2 to play PERSONA 3 (of ATLUS).
Sereval years after I heard that news, the game is really launched. And it has mobile version. (I don’t have to buy Nintendo Switch to play this game.) While waiting several years, I played the game developer’s other games – the games are remake version of KOEI’s famous games. Actually, I am worried whether the developer spoil the game.
THE WARPLAY OF GENESIS.. (The literal translation of Korean game name include ‘war’, but the developer use ‘play’ to distinguish it from the game of same name.)
The game starts with simple tutorial, describes one of important battle in original version. The tutorial contents are very similar to the other game of same developer.
As I was deeply impressed in original version, the difference of character illustration makes me suffer. (The character in my memory is different!!)
But.. the memory of old game was great. After finishing the tutorial, the first scene of this game (it is very similar to the first scene of original game.) makes me stimulate to play more. It’s time travel to 28 years ago.
It is not easy to adopt the illustration of new game. But I get used to new illustration by seeing many times and I can focus on the story line what I fell into.
The developer, Line games has been making m~a~n~y~ mistakes in their games. But I appreciate the effort to make detailed story in remake game what is absent in original game. (The original games were quite old game and had small volume.) When I played other game which is remake version of KOEI’s uncharted water 2 – the game name of remake version is uncharted water origin(I will write as UWO), I satisfied its story volume and reinforcement of romantic relationship of Ernst von Bohr and his female staff. It is very famous that all lovers in original series showed very dark ending. And in the original story, the male would be a king while the female (whose name is Cindy) had bad ending.
The game contents are ordinary for recent Korean mobile game. I should collect character or weapons from random draw, and draw ticket can be obtained by payment.
The developer care about reproducing the original version’s emotion. I am satisfied the first scene of main character of whole story.
The game itself seems to spend some time to raise characters level. The game is little difficult for me. I should search other player’s tip and spend time to strengthen the team.
Main topic of this post is,
Strange collaboration event in UWO. The special collaboration ended in May 7th. I install the play of genesis in same day, I visited UWO page in 9th. So I couldn’t see the event. But I felt strange that the content of UWO is making a voyage in earth and gain the profit, while the content of the play of genesis is a series of battle in artificial world.
So the character in genesis should use skills of real world in UWO’s world. I can see the evidence in the notice. The queen(?) used Spanish language and appears in Palma de Mallorca, València, Barcelona. She get advantage when close combat in naval battle.
Wow.. Because Line games has IP of both of them, it can be possible. But I can’t understand the target of collaboration. I already leave all community of UWO, I can’t see other’s opinion. But I can see the general response. I felt ‘it is disrespectful to both IP’. If the developer want introduce new game – the play of genesis, it should be provided some support – such as free character, or event for whom access both game. The developer only sell characters (it is almost 100 USD for each character!) and sell necessary items again to strengthen the character. If someone willing to gain all of collaboration result, he/she should spent many times and lots of money. But the result is far from ‘world top class combination’, only some of navigator are changed to genesis’ character.
I can’t understand the situation. 🙁
