Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

When many players first came into contact with "Ayrden's Circle", they basically thought of playing "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and "Bloodborne" and "Dark Souls" and other soul games. For play.

In terms of the combat system, including the style and characteristics, it is true that "Eldon's Circle" is no different from these soul-based games.

But this feature of the open world gives “Elden Circle” countless possibilities.

Just like in the prequel of Black Soul, players can parkour to get the tomb king sword, and break the dragon tail to get the flying dragon sword or run over to brush the black knight tomahawk.

This is also a way to reduce the difficulty of the game, but in "Eldon's Circle", there are more free settings, a wider map, and content to explore.

This open-ended setting is destined to allow many players to find a simple and easy route to clear the level of "Ayrden's Circle", so that the entire game is not only a blood pressure explosion, but also has a refreshing point.

For example, players who play melee combat, when they get the old cold leg combat skills, can incarnate into a combat skill madman, combined with the old cold leg's large-scale AOE and frost characteristics, it is easier to defeat the originally difficult BOSS.

Or use the 100% physical defense and combat skills to bring the energy suspension effect, tortoise do everything.

With a special item called Bionic Teardrop obtained from going to the Eternal City, it can sometimes achieve the effect of 1+1>3.

Although Chen Xu's bionic teardrop is slightly balanced in terms of damage, hatred, HP, and AI, it is still very powerful as the ashes that can use the same weapons, magic, and achievements as the player. Especially some special genres.

For example, the old cold legs, and the monsters with low toughness, the dual-wielding extra-large can hit them straight.

As for the mages favored by players, they have a variety of ways to play. They can use the blue secret to dew, all blessing spell damage and intelligence, and a glass cannon that kills the genre in seconds.

It is also possible to use pyroxene magic with a faster casting speed, paired with a dagger with the combat skill of the hound's pace, and become a very elegant mage.

For many mages, the magic professor on the top floor of Kalia's study, flashing and summoning a big bow, can be said to have impressed many players with his wretched fighting style.

It's a pity that this magic flash is only exclusive to BOSS, but players are not without substitutes.

The Hound's Step is a substitute. Compared to rolling, the distance is longer, the hand is raised faster, and the frame of invincibility is longer.

The price required is just a little bit of mana consumption and energy bar.

In addition, in the game, the religious genre of prayer is also quite powerful, although the signature skill "Sunshine Gun" in Dark Souls has become a little weak in "Ayrden Circle".

The dragon heart that can be obtained after defeating the dragon, and the power of the dragon that can be exchanged after arriving at the Great Dragon Church brings many possibilities, especially the scarlet and corrupt dragon breath, combined with the bleeding crossbow arrow and pulley crossbow, and a The main weapon with the belly-cutting combat technique makes the whole game easier and more enjoyable.

The two mouthfuls of corrupt dragon breath make the BOSS feel the power of scarlet corruption, combined with the long-distance bleeding effect of crossbow arrows, let the monster experience what a despicable fader is.

And even with these routines, there is no way to make the game easier, there is a very simple and rude method, that is, leveling.

Although it is different from the traditional ARPG, as long as the attributes are high enough, the boss can't break the defense, but the big bucket brought by the numerical increase can still make the fault tolerance of the battle lower.

There are two huge crows next to the Blessing Point of the Corruption Platform in Galead. As long as you learn the rock ball as a mage, about 8,000 runes will arrive in the account in one minute.

There is also a treetop at the bottom of the deep root, the huge gargoyle can easily end whether it is a mage or a melee, and a 4000 point rune is enough to make players happy for a while.

Through the white-masked NPC of the Rose Church, after starting the mission of the Blood Dynasty, the first big crow worth 10,000 runes near the blessing point, and a 2,000-year-old experience baby sitting in the front row, make the player have full 's motivation.

It can be said that as long as the player wants to, he can completely incarnate into the Shilipo Sword God.

As long as my output is explosive enough, no boss can stop me.

At the beginning, on major platforms and videos, these anchors were tortured to death, and players also watched with relish.

But with the advancement of time, players have deepened their understanding of "Elden's Circle", and more content has been excavated.

Although suffering is still suffering, as long as it is not handicapped, most bosses basically die a dozen times, and it takes more than half an hour to pass.

This sense of contrast even makes many players feel a very cool feeling, which gives birth to the idea of ​​​​playing on their own.

After all, although Soul Game has always been famous enough, it can even be said to be the top three major IP under Nebula Games.

But in terms of sales, it is really not a top line. The main reason is that there are too many cloud players. After all, not many players are thinking about suffering madly.

However, there are shortcuts in "Ayrden's Circle", and it is not the kind of card bug, which makes many players come up with the idea of ​​​​experiencing the experience themselves.

And when these players entered the game, they immediately felt the charm of the game.

Because of the rich gameplay, it can be said that as long as you think about it, "Ayrden Circle" can be regarded as the simplest soul game ever.

As long as you are a little familiar with the BOSS battle mode, you can easily beat it after suffering a few times.

Of course, if you don't summon NPCs and use these genres, then "Elden's Circle" will also be the most difficult soul game of all time.

These two extreme experiences have also caused controversy and discussion among many players.

Post bars, live broadcast platforms, and community forums are full of posts of various rhythms.

'The ashes system is really a piece of rat feces that ruined a good pot of soup. I don't know what Chen Xu thought. He made such a thing with no technical content, and cooperated with the mage's blue secret dewdrop and soul torrent. Any BOSS is in the All meaningless in front of him.

'Bloodborne, Black Soul and Sekiro, if you can summon helpers when you fight bosses, can you still play these soul games? How hilarious! Don't wash anything, you don't need it, I don't need to pretend I don't know, then it's like a clown, if you know it, you just pretend you don't know, and you lie to yourself. ’

‘This is the same as letting others play DOTA to select heroes and not allowed to enlarge their moves. Playing Call of Duty is not allowed to change bullets. What a good game, I have to disgust you all of a sudden. ’

Obviously, these posts are basically made by players who are dissatisfied with the fact that there are too many options to reduce the difficulty in Eldon Circle.

Similarly, there are glass cannon soul torrents, old cold legs, poke shields and dragon breath corruption, and even the easy leveling points have also been picked up by some players.

Of course there are opponents, and there are more supporters.

'No way? No way? A single-player game, can you really say that? In PVP, there is no way to use ashes, shields, and dragon breath corruption, and it is given for nothing. If the level is too high, there is no way to match ordinary players, and there are damage corrections, so what do unbalanced people think? ’

‘To be fair, a single-player game isn’t just how you want to play it? If you want to challenge yourself, don't bring it, and if you want to play these routines more easily, wouldn't it be good? Can single player games be compared? ’

'Fuck, here comes the rat **** bible! ’

The direction of the content discussed in this post caused widespread debate among players, and it was replied to thousands of floors in just one day, and players were arguing with each other.

However, what many players couldn't think of was that at this juncture, Chen Xu actually replied to this on the official blog.
