Chen Mo clicked into Legion Conquest. The game quickly loaded.
This was an RTS game with a modern war theme. You could tell from the loading screen that it was filled with airplanes, cannons, tanks, and all sorts of cool looking high-tech weapons.
The structure of the game was very clear after entering the game. There were two main modules: Campaign Mode and Online Battle.
Chen Mo felt that this game was similar to Red Alert, but not quite the same. Firstly, the graphics were much better, and secondly, the packaging of the weapons was very different.
There weren't any Apocalypse Tanks or Prism Tanks in the game. It mainly used tanks that existed in the present day, but there were also some futuristic weapons.
Moreover, the game wasn't based on the Cold War, so there weren't any allies or Soviets.
Legion Conquest's world view was an empty one. After the Third World War, many countries were overthrown, and various armed forces formed armies to fight each other.
The campaign mode in this game was for the player to take on the role of the leader of one of the armies to conquer the world.
There were many current weapons in the game, such as tanks and bombers, but everyone could use them, blurring the concept of countries. This was probably done to promote the game globally.
Chen Mo registered an account and started challenging the campaign mode.
All in all, the quality of the game was quite good, and the guide was decent. The only flaw was that the story was a bit too thin. Chen Mo played through two levels, and there wasn't much of a main story. You just had to fight wherever the commander told you to, and there wasn't much of a sense of immersion in the story.
Of course, this was probably a side effect of the world view and blurring the concept of countries. The story was also limited.
But since it was an RTS game, the story wasn't that important, so it didn't affect its popularity.
Legion Conquest's controls were a bit rough, similar to Red Alert. Chen Mo didn't find the controls, shortcuts, and mouse buttons to be convenient.
Selecting, moving, and attacking were all done with the left mouse button, while the right mouse button was only used to "cancel" the selection, which made Chen Mo very uncomfortable.
Chen Mo studied the game as he played the story mode.
At this time, a student who looked like an internet addict was sitting next to Chen Mo. He looked at Chen Mo's screen out of boredom as he booted up the game.
Chen Mo was piloting a tank to run over seven or eight soldiers in front of him. However, these soldiers fired their machine guns and destroyed Chen Mo's tank.
"F * ck!" Chen Mo was speechless. It was as illogical as Red Alert. How could a bunch of soldiers with machine guns destroy my tank? The armor of the tank was fake?
The internet addict beside him was amused. "Newbie?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, newbie."
The internet-addicted teenager said, "The tanks in this game are quite rubbish. You either have to kill soldiers in the early stages, or hold back your air force or superweapons in the later stages. It's easy to lose everything if you kill tanks in the middle stages."
Chen Mo was speechless, "Aren't tanks the main force in modern warfare?"
The internet addict said, "Sigh, I'm confused too, but that's how the game is designed."
As the young man spoke, he also opened Legion Conquest and started searching for online matches.
The matchmaking process was quite fast. In less than a minute, he had found his opponent. This was a four player map, so it was a 1v1.
The internet addict didn't have the time to chat with Chen Mo, as he quickly focused on building and producing units.
Chen Mo also paused his game to watch the game of the internet addict.
Mining, building, producing soldiers, scouting … The young internet addict was playing it by the book, and he was quite serious about it.
In the early stages, the opponent's sudden explosion of troops caught the internet addict off guard. Fortunately, he had prepared more defensive facilities and managed to block a few waves of attacks. Then, the internet addict successfully produced more than 30 Lightning Flyers and stole the opponent's base, successfully turning the tables.
"Yes!" the internet addict said excitedly.
Chen Mo furrowed his eyebrows, "The balance of this game is pretty bad."
The internet addict glanced at him, "You call this bad? This is already the best RTS game. "
Chen Mo said, "Three tanks can't beat twenty soldiers, that doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it."
The internet addict said, "It can't be helped, this is already the most balanced RTS game. It's fine if you accept this setting."
Chen Mo asked, "Why don't you play RPGs?"
The internet addict said, "That, it's too tiring. Those games don't have much skill, it's just a race of time. Whoever has more time is better, unlike RTS games where it's all about skill. "
"Hmm," Chen Mo nodded.
The internet addict added, "If you really like RPGs, VR would be the best. This includes things like shooting and adventuring, it's all VR games right now.
"However, real-time strategy games and business simulation games are basically on the PC because changing to VR is a thankless task. Moreover, these games don't take up much time, one round would only take twenty to thirty minutes. You can rest after that, so it's not that tiring. "
Chen Mo asked, "Does this game have ranking?"
The internet addict was shocked, "Oh, there's ranking. I was just playing ranking."
Chen Mo asked, "So, ranking is the core of this game?"
The internet addict nodded, "Yes. The early stages are campaign mode, but later on it's all about ranking. It's only interesting when you're playing against experts. It's pretty much the same as a real battle. That's how RTS is, it requires a lot of depth. You won't be able to master it even if you study it for a long time. "
Chen Mo asked again, "Are there offline tournaments?"
The internet addict said, "Of course there are. Among offline tournaments, RTS games are the most popular ones on PC. Most of the big clubs have a few celebrity players, they're all godly players. "
The two chatted for a bit more before the internet addict went back to playing ranked.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, studied the settings of Legion Conquest a bit more before leaving the internet cafe.
What surprised Chen Mo was that RTS games that had been out of fashion for a long time in his previous world were still quite popular in this world.
It was understandable if one thought about it.
VR games had a huge impact on PC games, but not all PC players had converted to VR games. Compared to RPGs, RTS games were more fragmented and had better strategy depth, which was why it was still one of the mainstream games in the parallel world.
As for MOBAs? They didn't even have a prototype!
