The purpose of the proposal:
For players who have played games for a period of time and have certain experience, it is necessary to review and summarize according to the context of the game, so that they can better understand their interest orientation in playing games, because after dabbling in various types of games (whether domestic, foreign or Japanese) and accumulating certain experience, they will have a very personalized interest direction.
RPG games are divided into three parts if they are divided into series. One is domestic RPG, European RPG and Japanese RPG. (This is my personal division. Why do you want to divide it like this? The reasons are as follows: (If there is anything wrong, please give me some advice, it's a brick and a jade)
One: domestic RPG games are our complex, no matter good or bad, we care after all. In addition, there are many works that have touched countless players who love domestic RPG games, such as Xuanyuanjian series and Xianjian series. They have become eternal classics!
Two: RPG games in Europe and America represent the highest level of RPG game production. With more and more
High-tech has entered the production field of RPG games in Europe and America, which undoubtedly provides technical support for game production and game producers to maximize their creativity in game production.
Three: Japanese RPG game, we are familiar with it. Many old gamers first came into contact with Japanese RPG games (probably from the late 1970s). Because Japan and we are both Asian countries, the cultural background difference is not as big as that of Europe and America, so the game production, especially the moral concepts and story-telling characteristics expounded in the game, can arouse our voices more.
The following game works I introduced are representative, but some follow-up works are not included.

Award-winning martial arts RPG category:
Top Ten Classic Martial Arts RPG Games in 2002, which is the only selection, is very precious. Subsequently, with the prevalence of online games, domestic RPG games are declining.
In my opinion, these are excellent products that have stood the test of time, and I am afraid there will be no breakthrough in the future. Of course, this is not what we like to see in martial arts games!
Introduction is as follows:
(In chronological order)
1 Farewell My Concubine
Research and release: Xiamen Xinrui Lion
Game price: 3cd: 58 yuan
Date of listing: June 65438+1October 65438+May 2002.
Game evaluation: Farewell My Concubine describes the love story of Farewell My Concubine at the end of Qin Dynasty. The prevarication of the story will exceed the player's imagination, and the game will hold the player tightly in the story from beginning to end; There are many small games to match the twists and turns of the story. Don't underestimate these little games. Many test the patience and wisdom of players. Players must reach the realm of unity of heart and hand! The expressions of the characters in the game are very interesting. According to the meaning of each sentence, there are different expressions, there are huge maps, but there are more than 200 simple scene maps, from quiet lakes to magnificent palaces, all of which are vividly displayed! The most attractive thing about the game is its plot. It can be said that there is no superfluous plot, the connection is quite compact, there is no annoying maze, and there are no enemies! The moves in the game are also very rich. If the player can upgrade to level 60, he can see more than 30 kinds of martial arts skills of the protagonist! The most comfortable thing is that the game adopts a 45-degree oblique angle combat mode, which is easier for players who play martial arts RPG games for a long time! !
NO.2 The Legend of the Dragon and the Wolf-The Road to Breaking the Phoenix
Research and release: Zhiguan Technology-Mysterious Vision Studio
Game price: 5CD: 49/78 yuan (deluxe edition comes with full-color introduction).
Date of listing: March 27, 2002
Game Comments: The Legend of the Dragon and the Wolf: The Road to Breaking the Phoenix is a game masterpiece of Zhiguan Mystery Studio in 2002, which was adapted from the comic book The Legend of the Dragon and the Wolf, authorized by Toastmasters Japan and drawn by Mihara Righteousness. The main plot of this cartoon is the return of modern people to the three countries in the past. The biggest highlight of the game is "array method". When it comes to formation, it is necessary to understand the existence value of military advisers, counselors and others in the battle. The game provides the ability of both sides. Players can put on different formations according to different situations. As for what formation can be placed, it is related to the ability of the characters in the team. For example, holes are more formations than others! I believe everyone must have a feeling that as long as the masterpieces of Zhiguan Technology have theme songs, this time is no exception. The first is to make amazing animation. At the beginning, the effect of the Three Kingdoms Killing was conscientious and imposing. Although the picture is a bit bloody, it fully reflects the situation of the three kingdoms period! The theme song "Route" was sung by Jia, and the game music stirred people's hearts! The game is based on the readers of the dragon and the wolf biography, and modern people watch the troubled times, which makes the whole story of the game more acceptable, more objective and more convincing. In addition, the game team's many creative ways of playing and strict requirements for game screens and combat actions really make players feel refreshed! !
NO.3 biography of heroes of the three kingdoms
Research and release: Zhiguan Technology-Oriental Calculus
Game price: 2cd: 35/49 yuan (deluxe edition comes with full-color game introduction and character calendar).
Date of listing: June 7, 2002
Game Comments: The Legend of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms is another set of role-playing games of Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes and Wulin's Legend of Heroes launched by Oriental Calculus Company (formerly Heluo Studio). Therefore, like the first two works, it emphasizes a high degree of freedom. In the game, players can walk freely around China, looking for the powerful ministers in the Three Kingdoms period, and interact with these figures by solving related tasks. With the player's mission story, it is worth mentioning that there will be 30 NPCs in the game. You can arrange your favorite team according to your own preferences, whether it is a super think tank composed of military advisers from the three countries or a powerful commando trained by the five tigers and generals, you can go around and do whatever you want. Q version of the characters used in the game look very cute. Cartoon-style scenes are also an important feature of the game. Soft and bright lines and comic dialogue bubbles will inevitably make players feel like watching cartoons when playing the game. There are a lot of martial arts in the game for players to choose and practice. If you get some specific items, you will learn peerless martial arts, so it will be easy to deal with the last BOSS! But the only thing Jin Chen doesn't like is the board fighting method used in the game. It's really inconvenient to control one group of people at a time and turn it on. If you still do turn-based system, don't applaud, you can choose moves to attack, not one by one!
Fourth place Qin Yi.
Research and Release: Target Software-The Third Wave
Game price: 2cd: 68 yuan
Date of listing: July 6, 2002
Game Comments: Qin Yi is the first martial arts RPG game of the target software. First of all, the animation of the game is quite exquisite, depicting the characters' expressions very delicately: Fu Su turned his head, with bodies everywhere behind him, and blood dripping down the blade. Sunset, stingy to scatter the last ray of sunshine to the world. The wind is blowing, and the wolves in the distance are howling in pain. It's cold! This is the opening of Qin Yi. When I finished watching this animated short film, I couldn't help but admire from the heart: this is a target work! That's cool! I have to mention that "Qin Yi" has added the battlefield function, which can not only be used as a stand-alone game, but also gallop in the battlefields of many players on the network! ! There are more than 100 kinds of weapons that can be counted in the game, and the principle of mutual resistance of five forms makes it more flexible! The operation feels good, like Diablo+Chivalrous! But I feel that the only drawback of this game is that the mouse will be oppressed. ...
Fifth place Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon-Green Ghost Sword
Research and release: Star of the Universe-Xiamen Xinrui Lion
Game price: 4Cd: 69 yuan
Date of listing: July 2002 16.
Game Comments: I believe everyone has seen the movie version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Last year was a wonderful moment. Foreigners saw the real martial arts in China! It wasn't long before the PC version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came out. The new lion really seized the opportunity! The story of the Green Ghost Sword of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon spans the north and south of the Central Plains, from the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang to the Imperial Capital in Beijing, from the snow scene in Tianshan Mountain to the fairyland in Shilin, from a poor village to the bustling ancient capital Imperial Capital, taking players around the country to make you feel the beauty of China more truly. The plot of the game is quite touching. The player plays two beautiful and emotional women. This is the first martial arts RPG game featuring women. You can learn as many as 60 kinds of martial arts in the game, and there are quite a lot of equipment and pills. There are also some special items. If the collection is complete, you will learn the ultimate moves (as if this has become the usual measure of martial arts RPG games)! The game depicts every scene quite realistically. The only drawback is that there are some annoying mazes in it, which make many players dizzy and complain bitterly. But Jin Yan thinks that the best way to walk the maze is to go to a place! !
The sixth Tibetan magic song
Research and release: Star of the Universe-Xiamen Xinrui Lion
Game price: 3cd: 49 yuan (with the theme necklace of Potala Palace in Tibet).
Date of listing: August 2002 15.
Game Comments: Jin feels that if he has never been to Tibet, he doesn't have to go because of this game! Some scenes and props with Tibetan characteristics that I came into contact with in the game, as well as Tibetan gods, monsters and ghosts with different characteristics in the game, can be found in this dictionary. Let you play the game once, and you will feel that you have really traveled to Tibet, so that you can know more about Tibet and fall in love with this mysterious land of Tibet! More than 200 scenes, the pictures are real, the Potala Palace is magnificent, and the Tibetan tribes are quiet and peaceful! The fighting system of the game uses a big screen to fight, and the moves are also mixed with magical effects, which looks amazing! This story is very touching. The choice of the hero and many heroines is in the player's own hands!
NO.7 "new double pride 3"
Research and release: Global Star-Taiwan Province Yujun Technology
Game price: 4cd: 69/99 yuan.
Date of listing: August 27, 2002
Game Comments: Jin Zhen was surprised when he saw the third generation of this series of games. Didn't the story end in the second generation? After introduction, I learned that this is a sequel written by Yujun Technology, and I certainly want to buy it. To tell the truth, Jin Zhen likes the Q version of the role modeling game of Jun Technology very much, as well as funny role dialogue and appropriate game music! What I want to talk about is the fighting of the game: after the fighting modes of Heroes of Two Families and Biography of Chu Liuxiang were extended, the fighting system of Heroes of Two Families 3 was greatly renovated, except that the original horizontal fighting mode was changed to a 45-degree oblique angle, and every move of the 3D model became much more vivid! The second feature is the "apprentice system" of the game: there are many strange people in the Wulin, and some martial arts skills in "New Double Pride 3" can only be learned through the guidance and teaching of Master. Generally speaking, the master won't accept you as an apprentice so cheaply, and you won't be accepted as an apprentice until you meet the conditions set by the master. For example, "robbery" is the evolution board of skillful hands, but if you learn it, you can attack the enemy and steal from him at the same time. Is it much more convenient? And the game has many branches, tasks and endings, which really makes people linger!
No.8 Xuanyuan Sword 4
R&D and Release: Global Star-Daewoo Software
Game price: 4cd/5cd: 69/99 yuan (the deluxe edition comes with the theme soundtrack album, introduction, Xuanyuanjian model and original design set of the game).
Date of listing: August 27, 2002
Game Comments: Xuanyuanjian has always been called the brand of the game. No matter whether the game is good or bad, as long as it is a series of Xuanyuanjian games, everyone will have the impulse to buy. It's like if Faye Wong's new album comes out, Faye Wong fans will buy it and listen to it regardless of whether it is advertised or not. This is the same as Xuanyuanjian fans! Although the 3D picture of Xuanyuanjian 4 is controversial this time, as a well-qualified game production company, it has completely mastered the plot! As for the picture: the 3D picture of ink painting style is drawn by hand in Deep paint 3d software, with emphasis on the preservation of Chinese painting lines and the blooming of rich colors of ink painting. After spending a lot of time trying to figure it out, the finished product is surprisingly novel and enjoyable. But Jin Zhan himself doesn't like 3D! It should be said that the game company is very considerate of the players, especially the deluxe edition is designed for the collection of players, although the price of the game has skyrocketed in the end! !
No.9 Tianlong Babu
Research and Distribution: Zhiguan Technology-Taipei R&D Center
Game price: 3cd: 35/49 yuan (the deluxe edition comes with more than 200 pages of introduction and a set of detachable calendar).
Date of listing: 2002165438+1October 27th.
Game Comments: This game can be said to be one of the masterpieces of this year. It took 12 months to develop successfully. Although some players are a little disgusted with the difficulty of the game, as far as the game itself is concerned, the game is really excellent! The music of the competition, and invited bel canto singer "Jia He" to sing a song "Hero Dream" (super touching). The game screen is based on China's ink landscape painting, depicting famous scenes such as Dali and Yanziwu, which is magnificent. The action of the game is cleverly designed. Every time you attack the enemy, you must have internal skills and martial arts moves, so that you can attack the enemy. And with the frequent use of some martial arts, their level will also be improved. But you must have the right combination of martial arts and mental skills, so that you can improve Shaolin's martial arts. For example, you must use Shaolin's internal skills and mental skills. Otherwise, you will accomplish nothing even if you use it often! There are many side tasks in the game, and the design is interlocking! The reason why Jin Zhan made great efforts to write the four strategies of this game is because it is a rare good game!
Issue 10 "chapter of heaven and earth robbery-global god knot"
Research and distribution: Zhiguan Technology-Taiwan Province Hantang International
Game price: 4Cd: 49 yuan (Deluxe version is undecided, paperback version is not for sale. The following game is based on the traditional Chinese version of Taiwan Province Province).
Date of listing: 65438+February 7, 2002
Game Comments: Everyone should be impressed by last year's ghost sword record! This is a very excellent martial arts RPG game last year! However, Han and Tang technology lived up to expectations. At the end of winter in 2002, the latest masterpiece "The Robbed World-World God Knot" was released. Animation in the game has always been the most direct way to guide players into the game. With the help of wonderful animation and computer multimedia sound and light effects, players can express it directly, especially the opening animation of the game, which often makes the spirit conveyed by the game itself instantly condense and erupt. "Global God Knot" completely uses "scenery" to transport the mirror this time, breaking through the myth of role performance in previous game animation. Excluding the elements of people in animation, the production team said that this would allow players to see the world from the first-person perspective, completely immersed in the texture of the spirit of the work, and fully lead players to the essence of role-playing! Although the game uses the engine of Ghost Sword Record, it improves the fluency of the picture and the game! Small games and puzzles that test intelligence are even worse! ! I hope the mainland version will be released as soon as possible to solve the similar difficulties of many fans in Han and Tang Dynasties!
Two: European and American RPG games:
The works I introduce below are the top RPG games in Europe and America, which can be said to represent the highest level of PRG games in Europe and America, especially the launch of The Elder Scrolls 4. Because the game engine adopts the most advanced HAVOK physical rendering technology, it is also called "hardware killer".
If you like RPG games in Europe and America, the following works must not be missed.
1。 Diablo:
Diablo is an action RPG game, but it is different from other action games. First of all, all the actions of the protagonist and the settings of the interface can be handled with the mouse. Simple manipulation is the first feature of the game. The second feature is the image effect of the game. The screen of the game is displayed with a 60-degree tilt (if you can't imagine it, you can try to recall the Genesis series of Origin), because all the scenes of the game are displayed in real-time stereoscopic projection, so the game not only has light and dark effects, but also has a very smooth character movement effect, and the magic performance is also a must. The higher the level, the higher the magic you can cast, and the gorgeous effect will be improved accordingly, especially when you are surrounded by people. When you cast electric discharge magic or fire magic, the effect can only be experienced by yourself. The game has a large number of weapons, armor and props, from which we can see the meticulous degree of artistic production.
The sound effects of the game are colorful and stereoscopic. Players can tell which direction the monster comes from and its approximate distance by sound. Because the sound effects of the game are recorded with eight channels, players can hear eight different sound effects at the same time, which can enhance the player's feeling of experiencing the scene. The third feature of the game is that Blizzard has created a "random number" stage. What is a "random number"? For example, if you want to play the game again after playing it, you will find that the maze structure has completely changed, and sometimes even the villagers' conversations are different. This is called "random number". In other words, every time you play a maze, the places you can explore are different. It can be said that this is a never-ending game!
Finally, the game provides a powerful connection function. In addition to Ipx, MODEM and direct connection, Blizzard also set up a server for players to fight with their comrades in other parts of the world through the Internet. Even if you play games online, it will not affect its speed. Diablo is a classic RPG game.
2. Ancient scroll series:
This series has been published for the fourth time.
As early as the release of "The Elder Scrolls 3: Morning Wind", it has already established the leading position of this series in RPG games in Europe and America. In particular, a new character was added to the follow-up expansion of The Elder Scrolls 3, which was criticized at that time, that is, if a character was bitten by a wolf, he would become a werewolf at night, that is, he was a human being during the day and a werewolf at night. Obviously, this character has the dual roles of man and wolf.
Then, with the launch of "Ancient 4", from its weekly sales, its achievement is 654.38+0.7 million! In the current stand-alone game, no game can achieve such astronomical sales in such a short time!
Of course, for PC gamers, a large number of people have to upgrade their systems, because "Ancient 4" requires very high memory and graphics cards. If it is an NVIDIA series graphics card, the memory must reach 1G to run full special effects smoothly.
3. < Porter's Gate > Series
Speaking of this series, I think the second generation is the most classic!
& lt The Gate of Bode 2: The Shadow of Amen) 1998 has won high praise, left a deep impression and profound thoughts.
Another major feature is its well-made maps. Players will often consult the automatically drawn map, because the brief description of hundreds of large areas of the game on the map can clearly record the key locations that players have passed, such as important buildings and exits. Some areas will be completely displayed on the map after the player enters-that is, the city of Ascata. By looking at their maps conveniently, players can find some places they are interested in, such as hotels, guilds, shops and temples. This is a very advantageous feature. At this point, it is better than other RPG works in Europe and America.
4. < neverwinter nights >
There is no need to explain too much about the honor you won from below!
2000 E3 Game Review Best RPG Game
Best online multiplayer game in 2000
E3 Best Game 200 1

Gamespy Best PC Role Playing Game Award in 2002;
This work is different from other works in network function.
Neverwinter nights has a powerful open network function, and the game content is infinitely expanded. It can be said that neverwinter nights is the third generation of online games. Neverwinter nights allows players to create their own game world and keep it forever. Each server allows up to 64 players to play at the same time. Neverwinter nights's goal is undoubtedly the future development direction of online games and a milestone of online multiplayer role-playing games.
5.& lt fable of ghosts and gods >
I think this work belongs to a unique game, and it is one of the unique RPG games in Europe and America, whether in the setting of characters or in the setting of the system.
Generally speaking, RPG games in Europe and America must require players to set their roles, such as occupation, clothing, skin, height and many other specific options, before starting the game.
But this work abandons the traditional setting, and you can let the characters develop freely.
The protagonist's adventure is from childhood to adulthood until old age, with the goal of becoming a world-famous hero. From an inexperienced child to a person who can influence the world, it depends on the player whether he chooses the road of justice or dedicates his life to evil spirits. The protagonist of the game will not only leave wrinkles on his face over time, but also change vividly in appearance with the actions and reactions controlled by the players. Frequent use of sword skills will make muscles strong and developed, singing magic mantras all day will make hair pale and fall off, and scars and scars in every battle will always accompany the protagonist until his death.
6.& lt Gothic Dynasty Series
Gothic dynasty series is a famous RPG game launched by JoWood.
In particular, an early edition of Goth III was exhibited this year. Gothic dynasty series is an RPG with an open ending design, and its production is quite satisfactory. Generally speaking, it is conservative.
7. < radiation > series
In July, 2005, Bethesda Software Company, the creator of The Elder Scrolls (Chinese name: The Elder Scrolls) and enjoying a high reputation in the industry, announced that it had won the development right of Future Radiation series games (but not related online games). Radiation is a very interesting story, involving the past and even the future, and even the concept of power politics. Known as the "great RPG".
The story of radiation begins after a worldwide nuclear war, which will challenge your ability to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. You will play a resident who grew up in a secret underground shelter. The change of the surrounding environment forces you to go to the "outside world" C, a strange world that has passed 80 years since the decline of modern civilization, a world full of variation, radiation, bandits and violence.
8.
This game is a famous game manufacturer and is recognized as the originator of RPG games in Europe and America: Black Island (Black Island Studio).
This game is an anomaly in many RPG games. It doesn't have much fighting, too much chopping, walking, talking, reading and thinking. Requiem in a Foreign Land is more like a novel adapted from a game than a game adapted from a novel. It is a kind of life experience, seemingly absurd characters and dialogues, which contain many complex and real emotions and philosophical thinking. What you need to solve in the game is not boring puzzles or difficult enemies, but something else, some metaphors and symbols buried in the game. What makes you a person? What gave you a new life? What changed each of us? I shed tears of excitement more than once in Soul in a Foreign Land. Yes, no game has touched us so deeply.
9. < Frozen Valley > Series
In 2000, Black Island Studio released a game very similar to Dungeons and Dragons, namely Ice Wind Valley.
Bingfeng Valley has published three series, Bingfeng Valley 1, Bingfeng Valley: Heart of Winter, Bingfeng Valley 2.
This series follows the engine and background of Bode Gate, but at the same time, it has undergone considerable improvement and style reset. One of the most obvious changes is its fast pace. If you have played the Bird's Gate series, you should also like this adventure series, which is characterized by a lively and clean game rhythm.
In addition, the biggest feature of this series is that it is coherent with several original symphonies created by Jeremy Soule. It can be said that music is so vivid that it seems to guide the development of the whole story. Ice wind Dell's narrative skills are also superb. The six chapters of the story are all connected in series with an illustrated book in a movie-like way, as if an old man were telling an old story.
