As the saying goes, having fun alone is not as good as having fun with others, and the category of "Fighting Games" is the best choice to connect with friends. Although mobile games have long been the mainstream of gathering and entertainment for young people, there are still many players who are willing to stay in the world of fighting games and continue to enjoy the excitement and pleasure of fighting with friends. In this issue, we will take stock of the representative works of ten fighting games for you. The rankings are in no particular order. Let’s talk less, remember to like the collection ~
Monster Hunter series
When it comes to the game of fighting together, it is natural that this series of works can be called ceiling! Yes, the Monster Hunter series produced by Capcom can definitely be called the first masterpiece of the popular fighting game. The goal of the game seems very simple, that is, to repeatedly cycle between collecting materials and hunting monsters, but in fact, this process is full of variables, with unique hunting grounds, various monsters with different weaknesses, colorful equipment and brain-burning, and the fighting process is full of variables, as well as Capcom’s hearty sense of blow as an action deity, which makes it difficult for players to extricate themselves, and also makes us have a happy time with our friends with PSP.
As of last year’s latest work, Monster Hunter: Rise, the total sales volume of Monster Hunter series has reached 85 million copies. It not only redefines the type of fighting game, but also plays a very important role in the fate of PSP and 3DS handhelds in the market. It is definitely an important work that can be recorded in the history of games.
In short, the most interesting thing about strange hunting is that players can obviously feel their own "growth". From the beginning of the three-line cat-and-car game to the later stage of harmless locking, the strange hunting series has brought hunters a sense of accomplishment that other games can’t do. The rise of the latest series has once again lowered the threshold of newcomer into the pit and raised the refreshing feeling of strange hunting series to a higher level. Whether you like fighting games or not, I strongly recommend you to experience it yourself!
God eater series
This is a team-based hunting game developed by NBGI in Japan, which supports the cooperation of up to four players. The game describes a future world that is in a doomsday crisis. A huge monster called "Wild God" suddenly falls on the earth and makes chaos everywhere. When facing the brink of life and death, human beings find that a weapon called "Magic Machine" can be made by connecting the cells of the wild god with the human body, so a group of soldiers bravely join in the battle with the wild god. These soldiers are exactly the same.
The original "God Eater" was sold on PSP platform, which not only has excellent game quality, excellent impact and system design, but also has a very perfect world view and complicated plot. It can be said that in the history of PSP, the work "God Eater" definitely has an important position and influence. Different from the strange hunting series, in addition to the beautiful and handsome characters, the main theme of this series is a "high-speed action". If you are tired of the turn-based strange hunting operation, you can also try this unique hunting world. This follow-up work has landed on many platforms, such as PSV, PS4, NS and Steam. Players who like this style should not miss it ~
Series of ghost stories
There are a group of warriors who fight against "ghosts" and are called "ghost houses". They silently guard the world behind the historical stage. However, the Millennium-long era of peace suddenly ushered in great changes. Under the distortion of time and space, different spaces with no earthly breath began to appear in various regions of the world, and an unprecedented number of ghosts swarmed out of them, dominating more than half of the world in one fell swoop. While rescuing the surviving human beings, the warriors of Ghost House fought against the ghosts, barely holding the living space of human beings, and were forced to shoulder the responsibility of governing the world from now on-this is the series of the masterpiece of the glorious Tekumo game "Begging for Ghosts".
The hero of this game is completely set by the player, including the name and appearance, which can be decided by the player himself. In addition to online hunting, there are many followers in the game. Although they can’t switch weapons and can’t control them personally, players can choose their companions to go out with them before each crusade, which is an indispensable help in the battle.
As a work originated from PSP era, Ghost Story has been widely praised by players for its quality, and the so-called "real hunters play ghost hunting" can also fully show the status of this work today.
It’s a pity that this series hasn’t launched a sequel for a long time. I don’t know if Glory still remembers having such an IP.
Sacrifice to the soul
The pursuit of strength requires a corresponding price, which is the core theme of the work "Sacrifice to the Soul". The plot background of the game is a cruel magical world. Many magicians can do whatever it takes to pursue powerful power. The player will play a slave controlled by a magician. Before being used to worship heaven, the player will get a mysterious magic book, and he can enter the ancient battlefield and mysterious field described in the book through magic to complete various adventures and tasks. Although players can use powerful magic to fight against the enemy, every time they launch magic, they need to pay a corresponding price. Sometimes they can use the vegetation and rocks around them as sacrifices, while sometimes they are used to sacrifice the protagonist’s own body and life.
This game was originally released on the PSV handheld platform in 2013. The publisher is Sony itself, and the game can support up to four people online. For PSV, which lacks heavyweight works, Sacrifice of the Soul has been regarded as one of the very rare facade games from the perspective of single-player play or collective fighting game, but some players can’t accept this work because of its dark artistic style.
Dream star Online2
As a world-famous game developer, Sega often has refreshing ideas, but it is always a bit out of date. This multi-platform online game "Dream Star OL2" is a typical example. This game was called "the first online game in Japan" in those years. Players will choose their own identities from four races: human, new human, robot and magic man, and participate in the planetary travel fleet "Oracle" composed of four races. After many years, the Oracle fleet has finally discovered new planets after crossing countless galaxies, and players can play the role of members of the investigation team with their friends and embark on an adventurous journey in order to continuously explore new planets.
"Dream Star OL2" spans versions of multiple platforms, such as PC, handheld and mobile phone. Although it is a pity that this work has been discontinued in 2017, fortunately, as an upgraded version of the next generation, the new work "Dream Star OL2: New Origin" has landed on STEAM and various host platforms, and it can support the adventure of 32 people working together at most. The artistic style of the game can be described as Xian Yi, young and old, and the sense of attack is quite good. It is more accurate than MMORPG.
Gundam destroyer series
Didn’t expect that, did you Gundam also has a fighting game! This game was originally released on PSV and PS3 platforms in 2013. At the beginning of the game, players can only use the original Gundam to obtain the body material they want by completing the task, so as to collect and assemble the big-name body they want.
Although the game supports four-person online cooperation, strictly speaking, the quality of Gundam Destroyer is not very outstanding when it comes to combat systems. The real highlight of this game is that you can freely choose different types of components to match, which satisfies the curiosity of players to assemble a four-unlike model at random when playing Gundam model in childhood, and finally gives you a chance to see how the body with uncoordinated hands and feet stands on the battlefield. If you are also a fan who once dreamed of collecting Gundam models, but you have no money to buy them, no time to assemble them and no place to collect them, please come and play this game.
If it’s your first time to contact this series, I suggest starting with Gundam Destroyer 3, which has reached the peak of the series in terms of completion and combat feel, and will get the most perfect experience with the vibration of the handle. The only drawback is that it is too liver, and you will feel very tired when you brush it in the later stage, but this game is still worth experiencing by players with a host!
Fearless
This game comes from the little-known Phoenix Labs studio in Canada, but in fact, many producers are from the original League of Legends team. I believe that players can easily see some LOL shadows in the multiplayer ARPG game "Fearless". The background setting of the game is not complicated. In an overhead world, bloodthirsty behemoths invade the earth, and a group of soldiers come forward to hunt down the behemoths in order to protect the people, and then they can make all kinds of equipment with the materials and rewards they get from the behemoths. This kind of play seems to have a little shadow of Monster Hunter, but in terms of action design, there is still a clear gap between this work and Capcom’s mature design style.
This game has been released in PC, NS, IOS and other platform versions, which supports multi-person cooperation and cross-platform online. If you like the game of strange hunting, you also hope to experience the game of fighting together on a portable platform, and you can accept this kind of painting style which is somewhat similar to "Night of the Fortress" without refusing moderate krypton, then this game is still worth brushing with your partners for a while.
Freedom war.
Freedom war, an online action game created by Sony SCEJ Studio, was released on PSV handheld platform in 2014. The background of this story is set in the near future. Facing the increasing number of prisoners, human beings have built several prison-dedicated cities around the world in order to maintain the order of existence. However, due to the depletion of resources and the deterioration of living environment, conflicts continue to occur. In order to strengthen management, the government forces prisoners in prison cities to fight. The player plays a felon who has been sentenced to 1 million years in prison and is forced to fight for his commutation. The fighting design of the game is very special. Invaders will constantly take away the citizens of our camp. Players can get corresponding reduced sentences after saving their companions through fighting, and support up to eight people to cooperate or fight.
In my personal opinion, the worldview of freedom war is very interesting, with a little Cyberpunk style. In order to match the various special operation functions of PSV, some ingenious ideas are also put forward in the game, but many ideas have not been well implemented because of the rush. I can only hope that Sony can rebuild this series one day.
Odyssey in Wonderland
The once classic online game "The Legend of Wonderland" can be said to be the memory of a generation of players, and "The Odyssey of Wonderland", as a derivative work of the Wonderland series, naturally bears the expectations of many old RO fans at the beginning of its publication. The producer of this game is GAMEARTS, which once developed the grandia series. It first appeared on the PSV platform in 2012 and supports online games for up to four people. Players can freely combine various occupations to cope with different combat situations, and friends can also launch powerful skills such as joint attack through cooperation, so that the refreshing feeling of defeating various giant BOSS is quite exciting.
Moreover, for the old online game players who came from the legend of Wonderland in the early years, I believe that the Odyssey of Wonderland will not let them feel disappointed. Many familiar monsters and scenes in the RO series will be made here, plus the perfect reproduction of various original professional skills. This kind of emotional bonus is believed to be enough to make the old RO players feel satisfied.
The king of the apocalypse
The action RPG "The King of Apocalypse" produced by SQUARE ENIX in 2011 is actually a sequel based on the worldview of our old work "The King of Red Lotus". This game is sold on PSP and PSV platforms. The story of the game tells the story that after the Great Collapse, the seven realms merged and various forces fought for the battle around the powerful nuclear stone. There are seven weapons for players to choose from in the game, and up to four people can cooperate online.
Although on the surface, it seems that this is another fighting game that is in line with the monster hunter series, but as a traditional RPG manufacturer, SQUARE ENIX always feels a little overwhelmed when designing this seamless fighting game. The plot is relatively excellent, and the anti-transfer players are surprised. The system design is a little close to the synthesis of the two series of Dream Star+God of War, but the sense of attack is relatively blunt. It can only be said that "The King of Apocalypse" can be regarded as the ambition of the production team, and finally,
Wild heart
The Wild Heart, jointly developed by EA and Glory Tekumo, was just released on February 16th this year. As a game with the theme of hunting, although there is no way to shake the position of the strange hunting series, Wild Heart has attracted many players with its new unique gameplay as its selling point. The production team designed a brand-new fantasy world with feudal Japan as a reference prototype. As hunters, players need to use the ancient armed technology called cleverness to fight monsters. The same is to play the hunter and fight the monster. If you have played all kinds of fighting games, Wild Heart is worth a try before the arrival of the new strange hunting work.
So the above is the game recommendation of this issue. I wonder what other fun fighting games you have played? Welcome to share your game experience in the comments section ~
