Scam Club has distinctive characteristics
"ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK/Alpha Nighthawk" is an overhead science fiction mecha GALGAME developed by Liarsoft, that is, Scam Club. The original work was released in 2019, and its quality is quite OK. At that time, you can still see small-scale discussions, which can be said to be of a certain topic. However, the biggest obstacle in playing GALGAME is not how the work performs, but the language barrier that is not easy to overcome. It is not acceptable for everyone to eat raw meat and everyone has the conditions to achieve. Fortunately, this game did not make people wait for too long. Three years later, in 2022, the familiar Shiravune Baizhou was Chineseized and moved to the Steam platform, which can satisfy the wishes of players who are following this game and fans of the scammer club.
I have also experienced several other works by the Scam Club login to Steam before, so I have a certain understanding of them. Although there may be a certain degree of stereotype (?), their works seem to be not too large in size, and the ancestral UI is also quite recognizable. If you are familiar with it, you can quickly find the characteristics. Well, overall, it will give people a retro style (?), which can be said to be quite distinct. This time, "ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK", is no exception. Although it is a 2019 work, the UI is still the same, and it is really nostalgic to play with a small window.
Of course, new students may need to adapt a little. In terms of UI, the scammer club never creates a strong sense of refinedness, and pays more attention to practicality, whether it is the title screen with only frame options, or the text box that is almost transparent after the game is officially started, or the white function buttons that are very simple at the bottom. By the way, although this work is a visual novel without any choice throughout the whole process, it is recommended that you develop the good habit of saving a file at will. I encountered a stuck phenomenon in the process, and I forgot to save the file, so I had to reopen it.
Constructing a grand worldview
To be honest, when I first met "ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK", I was still a little confused when I first came up. The main reason is that a large number of nouns pop up all of a sudden, so I started from scratch to find out the details.
Simply put, there are roses in the outer space in the future in the underworld - that's right, roses, but the very large, inexplicable mechanical sermon (?) suddenly appeared. Humans 300 years ago named it "Conswello". It would be fine if this rose flower grows quietly there, but what is more troublesome is that it will grow tentacles (?), and it will also use a spike attack, which means that it will fall off spikes from time to time. The spike is extremely powerful, and it feels more powerful than the small nuclear bomb , and one shot directly destroys a city. Fortunately, the frequency of spikes falls is relatively low, basically once in a hundred years, otherwise a human with a 10-six-in-one tide would have been G long ago.
Of course, humans will definitely not sit and wait for death. So in the process of fighting Rose, I don’t know if it was developed for some evil considerations, a very furious mecha like “Electric Sheep” was developed, and it also formed a special army, which was manipulated by specialists, and at least it could handle Rose’s problem to a certain extent. Our heroine Milia is such a manipulator, but for various reasons, simply put, it is probably shorter in the blue bar (?), so she can only work in a department equivalent to logistics.
Of course you know, every operator has a lightsaber and cannon to cut and shoot, so she didn't expect to be entangled in this. However, this day finally came. Due to an opportunity, she met the male protagonist, and she was finally able to fly freely in the electric sheep. However, there is no free lunch in the world, and the price you should pay is still to pay. Well, of course, this price is something that everyone likes.
Since I am not a party in the setting, I didn’t remember any other terms other than "electrical sheep" until I reached the level of completion. This "electrical sheep" is still related to the famous novel " Will bionic people dream of electronic sheep ? 》 remembered it only. However, such a grand world view setting is quite satisfying. Interested students can also go to the game to see the special noun explanation module.
character Furuikong ecstasy
Milia, the heroine who has a very prominent personality and appearance, has mentioned it briefly before, and I believe it can hit many players' good football areas. In fact, the liar club is indeed very skilled in shaping the heroine. It successfully showed the feeling of wanting to refuse but waiting (?) in a more attractive way. After deliberately integrating multiple attributes for Milia, this work can take on the role of a heroine alone, and will not have the idea that it is not enough to have more (?).
As for creating a sense of substitution, it still depends on the traditional Long Aotian male protagonist of the liar society to support it (?), and they are very good at this type of shaping. This time, such a very typical male protagonist appeared in "ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK", with white hair, firm eyes, handsome cloak, tentacles, non-human (mistake), and various skilled (?), in short, he is really a character without any flaws. This also provides a little rationality for the rapid acquaintance and love between the male and female protagonists to a certain extent. The handsome and rich male protagonist, who is standing there, exudes endless light (?), is sorry for such a cool appearance, so it is much more reasonable to think about it.
Of course, in addition to the male and female protagonists, the appearance of various beast ears and Forree is also a highlight of the character design. For example, the little fox, who often mingles with the male and female protagonists, not only plays an important role in battle, but also is an excellent support in life. He can even play a battle with the female protagonist and stage a 2VS1 battle with the male protagonist (?). Well, he is really considerate and is completely indispensable for the male protagonist. The same is true for other NPCs. There are still many male and female males on the stage. Although I am not Furuikong and I look a little strange at first glance, I just can't help but take a look at it again. I wonder if I will awaken some strange attributes (?).
Art style is very unique
In terms of art style, "ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK" is also very distinctive. At first glance, it will give people a considerable sense of brightness. The watercolor painting method makes people feel like they are watching church glass paintings. Even for players like me who have a lot of experience in GALGAME, it is a rare experience. In fact, it is indeed quite satisfying to run the entire process. I think art alone can attract many players to try this game, right?
Specifically, the performance of various scenarios is relatively OK. While expressing the future style as much as possible, there will not be too much presence. Not to overestimate the main character is indeed the right choice. The mecha and monsters are pretty good. Well, although I am not a mecha control, the mecha with long and slender limbs like electrical sheep always looks a bit strange, which doesn't fit my aesthetic view. The monster setting is not strong, so the painter has put some neon colors on them, which looks a little more eye-catching.
The main highlight of this work is the characters. Overall, it is still cute, and the colorful hair color that does not look rural is also well embellished. It is worth mentioning that the painter will outline obvious edge dividing lines for the characters in some scenes, which makes the characters look like a paper-like déjà vu. I still like this feeling quite like this.
Overall, the artistic performance of this work can be regarded as excellent or above, especially some CG paintings are really outstanding, making people feel urge to take screenshots. However, the scammer club does not support a screenshot of F12 that comes with Steam. When you see your favorite CG, you have to find a screenshot tool to take a manual screenshot, which is a bit troublesome.
is generally worth a try
"ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK" sets up a grand world view, but the plot is a bit like holding it high and letting it go gently. It is obviously a world-class crisis, but I am still addicted to the portrayal of small scenes and small characters. The magnificent epic feeling that should have is not shown at all. The scene of the Electric Sheep War just collided back and forth (wrong) and did not reach the level of attracting mecha fans and X-level fans. Even this section can only say that the protagonist's halo is on. Although it is a little twists and turns, it can be said that he cut melons and vegetables along the way until the end.
And like the male protagonist and the female protagonist come together, it also has a very high degree of drama, or it is a rather outrageous purely condemned to fall in love at first sight. Why did you start to feel ashamed of playing just after meeting, and you didn’t say a few words? Is it so fun? (Mistake) This will make players who pursue rationality feel very unscientific, and it will become hasty if they lack the necessary preparation. The length of the article is a little short, and the ending comes to an abrupt end, although it is quite gratifying to usher in a happy ending.
After talking about the shortcomings, let’s talk about the advantages. First of all, the art style is very outstanding, no matter whether you uphold visualism or not, you will be unconsciously attracted to this work. Therefore, it is still very important to say that a good picture is, which can at least increase your interest in the work. Secondly, the character character that makes Furui Control and Beast Ear Control ecstatic, well, although I am not (?), I believe I can capture a few more players, right?
So these two points alone make this game more unique compared to other GALGAMEs, and the publisher Shiravune's perfect support for Chinese language and super conscientious pricing make this game extremely valuable to purchase. The price is very friendly at 70 yuan, and there is a 20% discount in the first week, which means that it is really cost-effective to buy it for only 56 yuan. Overall, this game is worth a try, so interested friends don’t need to hesitate at all.
Comprehensive score: 7.5/10
