OR FANS OF CHESS LIKE GAMES.[/quote] [i]More info below....[/i] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2413855904 [h1]THE LOWDOWN:[/h1] 蜀山幻剑录 Sword of Shushan (SOS) is a Strategy Role-playing Game (SRPG) developed using the UNITY engine. It takes place in an ancient Chinese fantasy setting where an epic war between good and evil is about to recommence. Players take control of Han Yunchuan a disciple of Shushan who assembles and leads a band of talented heroes against a horde of ancient demons. Play begins with two heroes who must fight their way across a campaign of twenty-five levels of unique, colourful locations, gaining additional recruits as they progress. Along the way they will fight formations of enemy combatants who attack in waves. Combat is viewed from an isometric perspective, combining elements of chess-like strategy with those of squad-based tactics. WEGOUGO is used to determine movement, combat and other actions. Levels are divided into grid squares, where heroes must be placed in tactically beneficial locations. Key tactical factors include: formation, positioning, movement range, line-of-sight, skill range and areas of affect. Unique mechanics see every unit favour one of five elements. Attacks combined with these elements across teammates lead to enhanced attacks and defending, especially against enemies with weaker elements. Terrain serves to provide blocking points or restricting line-of-sight attacks against the players units. Movement allows placing heroes close to each other for the benefit of certain abilities and to use or exchange items such as healing potions. Alternatively it can be used as a foil to attract enemies into coordinated traps. Enemies are engineered to spawn consistently at the same places in every game across every difficulty. Some spawn and remain in position until a specific turn activates them or heroes get to close. The AI is geared to attack the weakest or most exposed enemies when it can. Making use of spells to heal its own units or attack multiple heroes at once. On levelling characters can upgrade up to four skills, four times. Once every three levels. Between levels players can purchase weapons, armour and trinkets from a large selection of inventory. These fill a handful of slots for each hero to increase particular stats. Graphically its looks very pretty. Chinese voice-overs add to the overall ambience. As does the soundtrack. The game has a fair amount of character based dialogue which appears mostly at the start of battles. The English translation was not made by an native English speaker. There are four difficulties from Beginner (Medium) to Hard (Grandmaster). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2413854038 [h1]THE GOOD:[/h1] + Around ten individual heroes with varied tactical benefits and weaknesses to control. + Characters possess three skill-based and magical abilities, upgradable to four levels. Plus a unique special ability. + An extensive inventory of equippable armour, trinkets and weapons and potions. + Post battle phase allows for health restoration, purchasing and selling of items and re-equipping between combat. + Challenging, punishing enemy AI. + Extensive autosave feature and quick save. During and between battles. Except the hardest mode. Needs more slots. + Some amazingly rendered animations when abilities are used. + Full 360 rotation and zoom-in/out camera. [h1]THE BAD:[/h1] - There is no overwatch. No zones of control. Does have retaliation. - Non-native Man-Eng translation. - Overwhelming combat on two hardest difficulties. Even Warrior is very difficult. - Needs a longer tutorial. To demonstratel the nuances of tactical combat. - No character development. No skill trees for varied character tactical options. - Worthless AI controlled allies. - Very restrictive initial setups and opposition rosters for each level. - Optional reward locations on every level containing equipment and treasure. Can barely be reached before battle ends. Always the same contents. - Some GPU overheating issues. Fans come on fairly quickly. Limited video settings. - Cannot change difficulty mid-campaign. [h1]AND THE REST:[/h1] * Fast-paced combat/gameplay. * Fitting Chinese inspired soundtrack and audio. * Graphically pretty. * Minimal narrative develops story and keeps the game flowing at a good pace. * Limited replayability. * All factors balanced but for hardcore play. Spawns, enemy numbers, starting location, number of heroes, etc. * Non-standard GUI. Uses context menus for each character. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2413855435 [h1]ANALYSIS:[/h1] SoS packs a pretty intimidating challenge. One that will either be loved or loathed depending on your disposition. It is hardcore without even the hint of an apology. On every level the party was outnumbered, outmatched and outgunned. After a couple of aborted attempts on the hardest difficulties I switched to the easiest setting to get a better understanding of gameplay. Getting the most out of this game will require complete comprehension of the war-chess style combat engine. This includes the nuanced tactical factors that cleverly combine, to make your heroes more deadly. The path to achieving this felt obfuscated due to the basic tutorial and poorly compiled Man-Eng translation. Attempting to decipher narrative and vital tool-tips proved hap-hazard at best. As if playing with one hand-tied behind my back. The graphics were very pretty and complimented by a simple yet stylish soundtrack. Snippets of overly serious sounding voice-acting that punctuated the action reminded me of my fondness for old Chinese movies. Even if I had no idea what they were saying! Fans of Chinese stories and movies will appreciate the overall ambience, theme and setting. I certainly did. Selecting from an increasing inventory of items was a joy. Sometimes selections felt limited to one option. Yet there were times when more than one could be contemplated. The fixed selection of character skills was disappointing. Though levelling these proved to be balanced. At least on the easiest difficulty. With its restrictive design and scripted spawns, the game lacks dynamism resulting in an almost on-rails experience. One that limited replayability to; trying different tactics, maximising different abilities or equipping different items. Replaying on harder difficulties would essentially feel like playing the same game except the enemies being tougher. Having skill-trees with separate branches could have increased replayability immensely. As would picking a limited number of heroes from the available roster for each level. [h1]SUMMARY:[/h1] Having never played an SRPG (to date) the game was alien to my personal preferences. On easy it should not be beyond most players. On harder difficulties the AI punishes the slightest mistakes. Something not out of place for this genre. SoS is well-made with above average production values (apart from the translation.) Consider getting this if you intend to play on easy or like a masochistic challenge. Similarly if you prefer undynamic level design and execution. Recommended only for hardcore fans of SRPGs.

所有说高难度的，其实都不是硬核SRPG玩家，我目前最高难度，全挑战达成，全宝箱拾取，全程无任何人员阵亡，准备第二十六章。 首先先分享最高难度不能存档，全宝箱全挑战，无任何一人死亡的经验： 1、在前面第四章，主角和肉盾身上各买4个红瓶摆着，换攻防武器+最高防御衣服+最高防御饰品，怪打你俩都是1点血，而且肉盾能得8点经验，去桥位置卡住怪让他打你，你打不到他不会反击，就这样我刷了220个回合将肉盾等级刷很高，这样前面几章就毫无任何难度了。 2、同样的方法，后面的章节留一个弓箭手怪，四个近战把他围住，治疗买个回蓝的武器，刷200多回合，可以把奶妈等级刷很高； 3、凡是有追兵一类的关卡，统统不要走，原地摆好阵型，等到三十回合不再有任何伏兵了再推进，毫无难度，而且可以吃满整个关卡的经验； 4、凡是有要救人的关卡，特别是有几关那些要你救的人还会自己动跑的，想办法买一堆拒马，把那群人框在里面不让他动，等上四五十回合，确定没有任何伏兵了，再打掉放开，万无一失。 5、关于装备选择，首选攻防武器+血防护甲+最高防御饰品+最高防御鞋子，其次选择有回血一类的装备，可以增加很高容错。因为里面法师怪很少，看见法师怪逼近了，先查看安全距离，然后卡一个路径回合，用弓箭手大招秒掉，从此便可高枕无忧了。至于其他战术经验就不分享了，这就是最高难度的通关办法，所以凡是SRPG游戏，只要不设定回合上限，不能完全杜绝经验farm机制，那么再高的难度也形同虚设。 其次是游戏评价：公正点说，这个游戏虎头蛇尾，金玉其外，败絮其中的游戏，如此14个角色，注定每个人物的特点和故事都不会太突出，让游戏沉浸感和代入感大大降低。其次，从主角拿上神剑开始，往后的剧情变成了无一例外的重复劳动，难度仅只是因为容错低带来的，并不需要脑子里认真计算和排兵布阵，从那开始就索然无味了。

难度太高了，尼玛，普通都很难打

首先我对这款游戏的评价是比较好玩，能玩下去的战棋，推荐购买。原因有以下几点： 1、战棋没落的时代，国产仙侠剧情的战棋难得，战斗特效我觉得很帅，台词也有点仙侠小说的意思。但是剧情略显薄弱，能把蜀山的剧情做的丰满点就更好了，但是考虑是几个人的第一款作品，希望能有续作 2、难度设置还不错，玩起来有挑战感，需要思考，战棋游戏最重要的就是难度梯度曲线合理，否则怎么都不好玩。可以看看侠客系列就很好。但是养成不够丰富，我个人还是希望国产战棋能出现大作。

游戏目前玩到20章，估计过半了吧，玩的次难难度。 先说结论：本作战斗、对弈乐趣足，但探索乐趣缺乏。 对于喜欢战棋类型的朋友来说，值得一玩。 下面说几点个人看法： 关于难度，很多人觉得难，但我觉得可以接受。注意站位，五行相克，相互配合，其实真不难，反正我第三档难度（最难四档），不刻意完成挑战目标，还是挺容易过关的。 关于技能，个人觉得是游戏最大的亮点，有很多很棒的设计，比如大白的设计（让玩家注意站位配合），还有梨花陷阱（让玩家思考敌人的走位），嘲讽等。 关于装备，有不少创新设计，除了直接加进攻或防御，还有多种附加属性，挺好的。比如说我喜欢的：被围敌人越多，防御越高；以及待机就能补血等。但有点太发散，太多了，战斗时谁的装备有什么特性，完全记不住。 关于队员，个人觉得太多，人多则乱，不容易掌控操作，而且人物性格也不容易塑造。这点不如幻世录1，人数不多，但特点各异，性格鲜明。 关于剧情和游戏进程，过于单调：战斗，增加队员，调整装备，下一关战斗。 总体来说，一个优秀国单游戏的骨架还是有的，但需要丰富一下肌肉。当然吐槽的地方自然不少，不一一说了。对于国产单机PC战棋游戏来说，已经难能可贵，希望能坚持下去，本人也很期待工作室有新作品。

Game is too difficult and translation is poor.

这钱花得值，非常好的战旗游戏，和火焰纹章一样简单上手

每一关都有一个队友加入和越来越多的敌人 开头剧情讲几句话就开打 每一关都是这样 很没意思

Intensive battles and moderate difficulty. Be ware of enemy attack range and the cycle of the 5 elements (earth > water > fire > metal > wood > earth).
