这游戏我也没玩,特地购买写差评。 《中华人民共和国宪法》第五十二条明确规定:中华人民共和国公民有维护国家统一和全国各民族团结的义务。 先不论这游戏体现的意识形态,既然敢在中国区卖,又显而易见地在地图上使坏,那我们中国人自然不会客气。

创意很好,玩法有待加强 6.5/10 完整版评测:https://cowlevel.net/game/Way_of_Defector/review/2895720 Great idea, weak gameplay 6.5/10 Fullversio of this review: https://cowlevel.net/game/Way_of_Defector/review/2895720 由于开发者很可能是韩国朋友,所以本文使用中英文双语评测 For english part of this review, just scroll down 现在给了不推荐,以后如果有改善会改 This moment I hit thumb down, but if this game get some improvement, I'll change it. 首先感谢野蔷薇计划与开发者提供的评测机会。当我第一次看到游戏介绍的时候,毫不犹豫的点下了申请键。在玩了数小时,被枪毙数次之后,总体心情是较为失望的 游戏是扮演朝鲜普通人通过找到蛇头逃离朝鲜的故事。机制也比较简单,容易上手 人物有各种数值,HP,饥饿及钱。每天分为3个时间段,玩家每天可以用任意时间段做出:移动,打黑工,调查,休息等选项。游戏目的是获取5个蛇头信息并完成蛇头的任务,期间躲避秘密警察的追捕,最终逃到韩国。 玩家做每件事(除了购买与移动),都需要进行检定。检定方法就是丢x个骰子(如果丢到红槽额外加一个骰子),然后如果出现了5-6,则通过检定。总体来说我玩之后有种在玩桌游的感觉,自己做了任何决定,成不成功都是看骰子的脸色。玩家可以选择多付出时间打工/收集信息,每多一格时间玩家可以丢的骰子也更多。但总体来说还是看脸 如果玩家和秘密警察处于同一位置,则玩家做任何行动前都要进行检定,比谁丢出的5-6多。 一旦被秘密警察发现,会被拘留并送往集中营。期间玩家有机会通过测试逃出升天,但是如果没有成功会被直接枪决。 总体感觉就是自己玩了一个很美式的桌游,自己再如何努力,最后决定命运的,还是骰子。 写一下自己觉得有趣的点:1 在游戏中会遇到各种各样的事件,里面的中国人一般都是愿意帮助你的(?)。2 朝鲜黑市用RMB(是真的) 总结一下: + 题材新颖 + 上手简单 - 过度依赖运气 - 英语需要润色 以下是一些建议: 修改菜单字体,TNR看上去怪怪的 多花时间打工的基础工资依旧是3RMB,不知道是有意设计还是如何 加入更多的个人背景故事,这些人为什么逃离,添加部分脱北路上的个人剧情 建议英文重新润色,读上去明显感觉是非母语者写的英文 可以添加部分朝鲜那种宣传音乐作为讽刺性的对比 English version I'd like to thank Wildrose Project from cow level and the developer for sending me this game for review. I have to admit, the idea of this game interested me a lot. But after few hours of playing and getting executed in camp, I was disappointed. In this game, the player plays a North Korean defector who flees from their home to the South. The mechanism is very easy to learn. At the start of the game, you have to gather 5 pieces of informtion for the broker, and complete the broker's quest in oder you make the way to the South, while evading from the secret police. Your character have various stats like HP, hunger and money. Ever day has 3 time blocks, the player can decide what the do in each time block: move, work, investigate, rest and so on. Everytime the players do something (with some exception), the player have to pass a check by throughing x amount dices (depending on your stats and event). If you land on the red bar, you get an extra dice. If you get any 5 or 6, you passed this check. The player can also boost the stat temorarily by spending more time on it or using the character's ability. But at last, it ONLY depend on the result of the dices, which is a little bit lame if you have thrown 5 dices and failed the check. If the character is on the same spot as the secret police, you have to pass a special check (or I call it a dice duel) with the secret police. Once the player get caught, he has one chance to flee before he got transported to concentration camp. In the camp, there is a last chance to flee before the player get executed. In conclusion, I felt I played a boardgame, 99% of which is depending on your luck. Didn't care how far you made, one failed check could ruin the whole game. Few interesting points: 1. the chinese in this game are almost always helpful, which is cool. 2. the North Korean blackmarkt uses RMB as currency. Brief summary: + Great theme/idea + Esay to pick up and play - Only depend on your luck - English translation needs (a lot of) improvement A few suggestions: Change the font, Times New Roman is not so great for games Regardless how much time I spend on work, I always only get 3 RMB as my basic salary. I'm not sure whether it's intended or not. Add more backstory and unique story line along the way for each character. The english translation needs improving. (It's my personal preference)Add some North Korean propaganda music as an ironic contrast to the harsh situation which the player is facing.
垃圾 游戏 ,买这个完全是要给个差评!棒子做这个游戏完全没用脑子~~~
어차피 인생은 운이다. 탈북 성공담을 티비나 유튜브로 들어봤지만 결국 운이 없으면 실패고 성공보다 잡혀들어가는 사람이 더 많으니 이 게임은 어찌보면 사실적인것 같다 아직 한번 탈북성공했지만 진짜 운이 어마어마하게 작용한다 하지만 불만은 없다 다만 조금 더 편리해졌으면 좋겠다 선택시 마우스의 감도나 옵션으로 변경해도 될 설명은 시작할때마다 나온다 편의성을 더 높일수 있을것 같은데 이건 개발사의 한계인지 모르겠다 결론:운빨게임의 끝이라면 끝이고 현실성이라고 하면 현실성이 높은 게임.
看来韩国人也不是很明白中国到底有多大,做的游戏也是各种常识性错误。
Way of Defector is fascinating. You are helping North Korean defector escape through China, and together you go on an emotional journey where you feel responsible for this real-life inspired person's survival. The game is far from perfect though, and the decision to make every outcome determine by a dice roll ranges from mildly irritating to screw this game. The writing could also use work, and there are a certain amount of weird and overly 'gamey' moment that seem very out of place. However, if you can look past all of that, then you will find a game that is like nothing else you will have played before.

이 게임은 머리부터 발끝까지 다이스 입니다. 다이스가 너무나도 많이 나와 하기가 힘듭니다. 보드게임하면 다이스이긴 하지만, 그래도 전략적인 부분이 있어야하는데 그냥 운이 좋아야합니다. 제가 보드게임 참 좋아하고, 게임중에 또 운빨요소가 강한 게임도 많이 해봤는데요, 이 게임은 아컴호러보다 어렵습니다.
TRPG 요소가 들어간 보드게임. 행동 하나하나 주사위를 굴려야하는 불편함이 있다. 운요소가 너무 심하기 때문에 호불호를 확실히 탈 수 있는 게임. 피지컬 적인 요소(주사위를 타이밍에 맞춰 굴리면 주사위를 추가로 주는)은 장점일수도 있지만 기존 TRPG 유저들이 이것을 좋아할지는 의문. 너무 주사위 의존도가 심하다는게 큰 단점이다. 전자게임으로 구현을 했으면 주사위뿐만아니라 몇가지 다른 형태의 미니게임으로 행동분기를 넘길 수 있는 요소가 있지 않았을까?
Great concept, poorly implemented. The "game" is repetitive and takes on almost a D&D style of gameplay with the dice. However where you might fight a troll or something in a D&D style board game, you do the same thing over and over again. You seem to be constantly on a quest to find a broker, just when you think you have achieved it, bam rinse repeat. I really tried to give the "game" a chance but it's just mind numbing. If you have ever watched paint dry, then you have had more excitement than this "game" offers.
