This time Xuanyuan Sword 7 was picked up. Someone gave up, and I came to fill the spot. I originally planned to buy it, but my friend bought it and played it for a while before returning it. I was a little hesitant and planned to read the public test report before deciding whether to buy it or not. Unexpectedly, it was my turn to write a report myself.
After playing for 10 hours, I felt that I might not have enough time to write it for normal leveling, so I started working on the modifier. It took a little more than 16 hours in total to complete the game. Except for the unfinished Zhuluqi branch task in the DOMO secret realm, all others have been cleared. (After finishing the game, I found out that if I didn’t turn on the modifier, it would only take 18 hours. The plot was much shorter than I thought.)
Let’s get straight to the conclusion. Xuanyuan Sword 7 feels to me like it’s only two-thirds complete. It’s an unbearable game that forces explanations in order to be consistent with history.
Overall, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. There is nothing wrong with the entire system architecture, but there are too many details missing. The combat system has its flaws. The map maze is also very good, the difficulty of the puzzles is also reasonable, and the story plot is okay in the early stage, but in the later stage it suddenly becomes surprising and unexpected.
Let me talk about it in detail below. There are unavoidable spoilers in relevant parts.
title screen,
The title screen is a bit disappointing to be honest, it is indeed very detailed, but it is too lacking in content. There is only one game board missing. After finishing the game, I don’t even know where the game board for this title is. At first I even thought it was the artifact Taiyi Mirror. However, although it is mentioned in the DOMO secret realm in the game and is also mentioned in the terminology explanation, it does not appear in the plot. It's baffling to be honest.
I play with a controller, and there are two key positions to choose from, but neither of them are very easy to use. The most typical problem is that you cannot switch medicines while running. When switching medicines, the finger will leave the mobile control. The actual effect is to stand still to select medicine and run away to take medicine. Why can't it be customized?
The male protagonist and character creation are still passable. New Dynasty, is that the story of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing himself in the late Western Han Dynasty? You must hug Liu Zhen’s destiny’s son Xiu’s thigh tightly!
Um? ? Long press to skip? Can't fast forward and can only skip?
The plot of my childhood, the water shadows on the ground, etc. are pretty good, and the visual effects are quite up to par. Guiluan Luan made me overjoyed, because my favorite in the Xuanyuan Sword series is Maple Dance. The appearance of Guiluan Luan means that 7 is most likely going to follow the story line of Maple Dance – The Black Dragon Rises and the Flying Clouds – 7.
Then I discovered a problem, the models of other characters were really ugly. It was confirmed again in subsequent games that this game determines the model budget based on the importance of the character. Anyone who is good-looking and has temperament will definitely play an important role, or at least a supporting role. Those who appear once or several times must be ugly. "Master He, I think you are extremely ugly, so you will definitely not survive the second quarter." A certain NPC later, He Hao, confirmed this truth. This is really poor.
When talking to Ah Fu, I discovered that during the second conversation, I could actually choose to press B to skip a sentence? ? Be sick! Shouldn't it be possible to skip a sentence by pressing B in the first conversation, and long-pressing A in the second conversation? Did you do this cliffhanger backwards? ?
The plot comes to a point where the protagonist hears his father talking, talking about digging the tomb of Liu Hou and getting bamboo slips. etc? ? Stay? Isn't that Zhang Liang? Is it okay for the officials of the Western Han Dynasty to dig up the tombs of the founding heroes? It is more reliable to say that the tomb robber has been caught and the bamboo slips have been collected. Ji Liang cried bitterly while holding Shui Jing in the Peach Blossom Spring.
Then the protagonist ran away with his sister in his arms and got the bamboo slips. The timeline jumps back again.
This heavenly book. . . . It’s really LOW. . . Not as good as the 4th generation. Obviously to save costs.
The world of the Book of Heaven is quite beautiful, but you can't enter casually, and it's very small. Highlight the word "poor".
The plot continues, my sister dies, and the protagonist opens a book to save her life. According to friends, the pronunciation he speaks is Chunqiu Yayan, which was Mandarin at that time. I don’t understand it either, so I’m not sure. It's a little more attentive.
This king, combined with the broken mechanism man next to him, must be Ji Peng without a doubt!
Then the machine sister came online, and I was sure that she was from the Maple Dance series. Very happy.
Bonfire, upgrade weapons, isn’t this just like Tomb Raider? But how come Lara has several weapons and tools available, and you only have an unknown sword? The most puzzling thing is that there is an appearance option in the character bar, but it cannot be changed at all. This is also an important clue that I feel the game is unfinished.
Playing deer chess is quite interesting, and it is an important side plot and must be done. The difficulty is just that, just try it a few times.
The combat system is quite simple and rough, but the enemy's attack judgment is not very clear and easy to judge. However, because the attack method is actually quite simple, you will know it after a few tries. The OTE system does pretty well.
I saw Liu Xiu’s appearance! He is indeed the son of destiny! The protagonist seems to feel Liu Xiu's domineering spirit, he is extremely enthusiastic and proactive in every way.
I knelt down twice during the pain. The biggest problem I found with combat was perspective. There is no special function to switch the perspective to the direction the protagonist is facing, or it would be fine to zoom out to give a panoramic view. You can only rely on target locking to fight. 1V1 is quite convenient, but 1VN will be very annoying. It is strongly recommended to increase the horizontal viewing speed to the maximum (actually it is still not fast enough).
The various climbs in Qiming Ruins reminded me of Tomb Raider and God of War. Overall, it was pretty good, but I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t have the ability to jump.
The stone-pushing puzzle is simple, but a bit fiddly. This is where my friend got his refund. He said that we should make a small game interface separately, which can be completed in 2 minutes. We have to drag it here for a long time, which is a waste of life. In fact, there are many people who hold this view. So in the latest update, this puzzle can be skipped directly. It seems that he is not the only one complaining like this.
When I fought the BOSS, I forgot to lock the BOSS the first time, and I was tortured to death by the perspective. It was much easier to play after the lockdown. Then got an escort. The previous escorts improved attributes, but this time the escorts can help in fights, which is considered an improvement.
So my sister can join the war.
Then came animation.
Oh oh oh Wen Jin is still so beautiful! Thumbs up! However, a poor word was still revealed. Obviously it would be too expensive to make such cutscenes realistic in 3D. But this is a good thing for people like me who are addicted to the ink painting style of Maple Dance.
Then I found a BUG
Is it Liuwan or Liuguan?
Shangshan Dazhai opened its gate with the help of a certain bento NPC He Hao. A woman appeared. Well, she looked like she was playing an important role. This beauty cost a lot of money! Then I found out it was Hong'er.
I found a bug while sitting on the campfire repeatedly to clear dialogue, the wine gourd in Chu Hong's hand. . . What are you going to drink before the lid is removed?
When fighting a BOSS, one big one and one small one will continue to be summoned, and the perspective problem is once again a serious problem. Fortunately the place is big enough.
Continuing on, as we proceed to the Gaoyang Ruins, the difficulty of the puzzles increases slightly, but they are still the kind that can be solved step by step.
Then the king was released, and it turned out to be Ji Peng. After refining her body, my sister's body turned into a BOSS.
This BOSS is really powerful. The poison is very cruel. After being beaten to death, the younger sister broke down emotionally and said that they were not biological siblings anyway. Damn it? ? I don’t even know how you know that? ? Protagonist, did you tell your sister? Are you trying to destroy The Tale of Genji? Okay, I wrongly blamed you. Later I noticed in the dian that my sister found out that they were not biological siblings. So from here on I started to read Shidian seriously. The story is described from the perspective of the younger sister. The younger sister's several emotional outbursts can be seen in the story. If you don't read the story, it will be really confusing. This design is actually quite clever. Better than character monologues. Like here.
Then there are many side tasks that need to be cleared, and the rewards are very important. Including my sister, I can learn the weakened version of Qiantian Taihong – Qiantian Shaohong. The mission rewards given by children are key materials for upgrading the Book of Heaven buildings, etc. There is also Lingzi Xia Dan. After the mission is completed, there will be a little girl in the room. After repeated conversations, you can enter the DOMO secret realm. Here you can come here to continue playing chess after the chess task chain is completed.
There is also a task of asking for information which is quite interesting.
This is the story of the Lanke chess game
This is a new version of the story of the Gold and Silver Ax.
His fairy wife who is "as beautiful as a fairy". . . . Do you want an NPC who only appears once to look good? ?
The new version of Ye Gong's Ship of Dragons – Ye Gong's Love of Inflamed Heads. These side quests are really interesting.
If you continue to Guigu, you can complete all the Zhuluqi missions on the way, and then enter the young room puzzle. Before entering, the protagonist and Hong'er had a kiss. The younger sister was obviously jealous when she saw it, so she broke out again in the juvenile hall and rushed off alone. Yes, it's explained in the Chronicle. Not too inexplicable.
This maze is not complicated, but it is very dark and confusing. Confusion is normal. After the fight, he went down the mountain to save others, and then went up the mountain again. Does this mean forced leveling? . .
Keel bridge, this effect. . . It's not as powerful as the simple keel bridge in 2D Maple Dance.
Arriving at the snowy land of Guigu, there are new puzzles. The first door-opening puzzle is very simple. You can figure out what to do if you step on it casually, but it is important to understand why you step on it as you do. The following puzzles are all from the same series.
In the first group of stone pillar halls, simply put, you just need to push the corresponding stone pillars according to the Bagua symbols on the stone tablets on the upper left. There are 3 stone monuments in total, the third one is inside the shop room, so it is easy to miss it. For example, I missed it and found it after searching for nearly half an hour.
The second group added the color factor. The colors on the stele are green, red, yellow, white and black. There are two colored card slots on the ground, green and white. Once these two are determined, the positions of the other three colors will naturally be determined.
After leaving the Ghost Valley, we followed the river and found Wenjin. Then. . . . Emotionally broken. It's not my sister, it's me.
This one is not bad, it is just a permanent 20-year-old girl turned into a young woman, which is acceptable, after all, she is a wife.
This damn girl is an aunt! unacceptable!
Immediately I wanted to delete the game. Wen Jin, who promised that she would never grow old at the age of 20! !
I was literally going to explode. So I didn’t even want to take screenshots later. There are two motivations that support me to continue playing. One is that the public test needs to be completed, and the other is that from the map, there are not many Shi Gandang left. It seems that the level is about to be cleared? this? Feel like a lot of things are not explained clearly? ? Almost finished?
However, I really didn't expect that the shit feeding would begin.
On the ancient Yellow River Road, the monsters go to the left, the plot goes to the right, and it's a dilemma. The sister wants to save people, but the protagonist actually doesn’t want to take care of it this time? ? this? ? Why did your personality change so suddenly? When my sister has an emotional outburst, I can still read Shidian to understand the reason. What's going on with you, the protagonist? ? Conscience suddenly eaten by a dog? ?
I still chose to chase the monster, but found that I still circled back, and there was no difference. So what does this plot mean?
When the caravan is in danger, the protagonist takes the initiative again this time. Well this time it's a ride.
Rescued the caravan and went to the Luban Ship Ruins. Is this really a ship? The wooden planks are reasonable, but what about the cliffs?
The BOSS of Jiren-Yu is really strong. You can only wait until it kneels down before going up to fight. Don't go too far, otherwise the laser will be emitted, and the sky will be too red.
After the fight, I saw Xuanyuan Sword and Mo Huang came again. With your looks, I think you are probably the big boss.
The protagonist opens the Book of Heaven to save people, then rushes over and dances a tango. . . You're fucking kidding me. . .
My sister talked to Hong'er alone, and then looked at the dian. Damn it, do you want to share your husband?
The protagonist singled out the Liuli Tuqiong fusion monster that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then learned about the Sky Fire Cannon. Okay, I also know that Liu Xiu is the most powerful evidence that he is the son of destiny. The meteorite falling from the sky and destroying Wang Mang's 400,000 army is left to the sky fire cannon.
Then Liu Xiu was asked to sneak into the Yao Mountain Zhechong Camp, go up the mountain, and see the dam. So it was decided to destroy the dam.
etc? ? Are you serious? First of all, what is Lijun doing to build this dam? Secondly, you destroyed the dam and flooded Li Jun. Liu Xiu couldn't escape either? The wealth and lives of the people are also ruined. Your conscience is suddenly eaten by a dog again? In the end, the way you destroyed the dam was to open the gate and release the water? Can such an exaggerated effect be achieved by opening the gate normally and releasing water?
I know that there is indeed a flood in the strong evidence that Liu Xiu is the son of destiny, but your plot is too inhumane! As a disciple of the Mo family, Hong'er can also support the protagonist? Totally unreasonable!
Unless you, Tai Shi Zhao, are a plane warrior sent by plane consciousness to destroy the time traveler Wang Mang, and he will do whatever it takes to help Liu Xiu, the son of destiny. Otherwise it would be unreasonable.
Then the sky cannon was thrown at the head of Wang Mang's army. The blame is still on the back.
Next, the Vulcan Machine was launched, and the final battle turned out to be Mo Huang.
I have to turn off the special effects here, otherwise it will become stuck.
Alas, in the end the BOSS slashed me with the Xuanyuan Sword again. It just hurts. The tradition has not changed over the years. Back then, he was slashed by Shu Sangzi with the Xuanyuan Sword, and now he was slashed with the Xuanyuan Sword by Mo Huang.
In the end, Hong'er got close and stabbed Mo Huang to death. This is implying something. . .
Return to the river to find Wen Jin, and ask Wen Jin what happened. He actually replayed the previous three animations and ended it? Have funds really bottomed out?
He summoned the Black Fire Dragon BOSS again, and after killing him, Wen Jin disappeared. It can be seen that this scene has been given enough funds, and it is so beautiful that it explodes. But I forgot to take a screenshot of the picture.
Then my sister was resurrected successfully.
The three of us went swimming together. At the end of the story, he also said that as the last Mohist descendant, he went to various places to build water conservancy projects. Is this repaying a debt to conscience?
And then it's over.
Summarize:
The combat system is passable and feels good. The viewing angle is an issue, but it's not completely unacceptable. The monster's attack method is slightly single, and as a result, the damage will explode in the later stage, and there will be various negative effects. I really can’t afford to be hurt. There is a problem with the monster design. The protagonist's attack method is also slightly single.
The picture is good, and it is completely up to standard. There is an obvious problem with character modeling funding. Several NPCs are duplicated. There are only a few parts of the expression that are just right. However, bugs have also appeared, especially Hong'er's hair, which is particularly prone to problems.
The dubbing is still very good. Especially Ji Peng.
The equipment system is a bit simple, and the series' most interesting Demon Refining is also boring this time. Moreover, the difficulty of collecting monsters is the most difficult in history. If you are not careful, you will be killed or have too much blood. However, the ability to collect monsters can also be used as a skill to gather monsters, which is a new way of playing.
The latter part of the plot is really bloody. The appearance of Liuli is inexplicable, the dilemma is inexplicable, and Dam is simply crazy.
A lot of the plot is not explained clearly. What Mo Huang said about sacrificing so many Mohist disciples for a few villagers, the past events between Hong'er and Mo Huang, and the past events between Mo Huang and Liuli, can tell a lot of stories. But they didn’t talk about it. Lingzi Xia Dan also couldn't explain it clearly.
A legendary figure like Liu Xiu and Wang Mang is known as "The Son of the Plane vs. the Traveler". One is used as a plot NPC and the other is directly used as a background panel. It is simply a waste.
In the animation, Wen Jin talked about going from Gui Valley to Shu. I thought I had to go all the way there, but it turned out to be right next to Gui Valley.
If this game is separated after the end of the Guigu plot, and the previous episode is the first, I can give it an 8 points. Next is the next episode, I can only give it 3 points.
Yes, the subsequent plot is really so shitty. I hope DOMO can be a person and release a plot DLC to complete it. Isn’t playing Chinese RPG just about playing with culture and plot?
