Hello everyone, this is Zhengjing Game, I am the younger brother of Zhengjing.
Usually domestic players don’t particularly care whether a game has a Chinese version. After all, the content of some games is not in line with national conditions, but sometimes they also care about it. It is a game that originally said it supports Chinese but then regrets it. For example, "Total War: Warhammer" and "Football Manager 2017" were criticized by all players for this reason and received negative reviews.
But there is a domestic game that has been in public beta for a long time. Now it is on the shelves Steam is not only locked in the country but does not support Chinese!
" Fantasy Tower " is self-developed by Hotta Studio, a subsidiary of Perfect World Games. It is an open world two-dimensional style mobile game. The game was publicly tested as early as December last year. Recently, the game was released by Tencent's overseas publishing company Level Infinite Agent, the PC version of the game is now available on Steam and will be officially launched in the fourth quarter.
"Fantasy Tower" was intended to be a remake of " Genshin Impact " from the beginning. However, due to a series of major mistakes at the beginning of the beta test, the original potential stock was suddenly thrown away by "Genshin Impact". inside.
But! Nowadays, "Phantom Tower" is complained by players, it has done what "Genshin Impact" has not been able to do! That is, the game is not only locked in China when it is put on Steam, but also in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea and other countries and regions. In addition, the game does not support Chinese.
The locked region does not support Chinese. This news immediately aroused heated discussions among many netizens. The locked region is easy to understand, because "Magic Tower" had a mobile game version number at the time and did not have a PC game version number. Of course, major manufacturers don’t dare to blatantly list it on Steam and open it in China, and the PC mobile version of “Phantom Tower” was reported to be removed from the shelves before.
Lock it if you want. Players who have been tortured for a long time can understand, but it is a bit excessive not to support Chinese.
In response to this, some players laughed at themselves and said, "The national server is just a matter of players paying to be testers for the Fantasy Tower national server." "Another game to trick foreigners." "I am Russia, Argentina , Turkey three materials Senior agent will not tolerate bad reviews! "" Azerbaijan, my hometown"
It can be seen that even if the Steam version of "Phantom Tower" is region-locked and does not support Chinese, there should be a group of people from the other side of the mountain and the sea when it goes on sale. The cordial greetings and best wishes from a group of "United States of Azerbaijan" players over there.
My younger brother: As early as last year, Chinese players on Steam surpassed English players. Now adding Chinese to games has become an inevitable choice for many merchants, such as B's "Starry Sky" and SE Luminous Group's "FORSPOKEN" , these two masterpieces have already announced support for Chinese even before they go on sale. Even if some independent games do not have Chinese at the beginning, they will slowly add Chinese later, such as "Breaking In: Tactics Squad" and "For the King" "etc. A domestic game does not support Chinese when it is released overseas. No wonder players are so angry.
A surprising question: What do you think of games that intentionally do not support Chinese?
