"Legend of Guardians" is a dungeon defense game that combines Rogue elements. The game introduction is that you were hired by the dungeon company as dungeon guardian , and you only have one job: guarding the dungeon!
"The Legend of the Guardian" was released on October 10, 2019. Although the release time is relatively short, it has received particularly positive reviews on Steam. More importantly, it is free and supports Chinese.
game starts with 3 characters for you to choose from, namely slave owner, witch and engineer. The slave owner can be played for free, while the witches and engineers need to pay to unlock them.
game is progressed according to cycles. There are random tasks for players to choose from in each cycle. When encountering multiple tasks on the same day, only 1 task can be selected to complete. When encountering adventurer tasks, you must start preparing for guard work. The adventure heroes who come to grab treasures will continue to strengthen as the cycle increases, and will be strengthened from skills to levels, making it increasingly difficult for players to defend.
Guard preparation What players can adjust is to place traps and place monsters. Generally, there are 2 trap rooms and 2 monster rooms. There are spell rooms and environmental rooms interspersed in the middle, and the order of the rooms is random and unfixed.
1 rooms can store up to 6 monsters or 6 traps on standby. Other unnecessary ones can be dragged into the garrison and inventory. Some monsters that go out to perform tasks and require medical treatment will directly enter the garrison. Only when the time comes can they be dragged back to the room on standby. The same is true for traps. They cannot be used during the repair period and are in the inventory.
During the arrangement process, you need to first carefully observe the hero attributes coming to attack, and design the defensive strategy through the different attributes.
Generally speaking, it mainly contains the following attributes:
health: health will die if it reaches zero.
Morale: If morale returns to zero, you will be scared away.
Power: is related to the attack damage.
Speed: Involves attack priority. This game attacks in sequence according to the speed. Some monsters with low blood and slow speed will be killed directly by heroes. Some attack effects will slow down the hero.
resistance: The amount of resistance is related to the hero's damage. For example, the fire damage is 100 points. If the hero's flame resistance is 50%, then the actual damage is 50 points. If the flame resistance is -50%, then the actual damage is 150 points. So we need to analyze what are the weaknesses of the three heroes who came to attack? Arrange appropriate monsters to attack with corresponding attributes.
Sometimes, it can reduce the resistance of a certain attribute through traps, and then output through monsters with corresponding attributes in the next room, which can produce a good effect. For example, use traps that reduce hero's atmospheric resistance in the trap layout room, and then arrange 3 monsters with atmospheric damage in the next room.
So taking into account the attribute confrontation of the total 6 characters on both sides makes the calculation more complicated.
Attack attributes: Generally speaking, it is to see the attack attributes and attack locations of this hero. The attack locations are divided into front, back and ranges. Therefore, monsters with high resistance should be arranged to stand in this position to reduce the attack damage value. Therefore, we must comprehensively consider the corresponding defensive resistance and attack attributes of the three monsters arranged. Attacks will come with various attack effects, such as bleeding, poisoning, etc.
Passive skills: Some heroes and monsters will have special passive skills and are also very powerful. There are up to 3 attack attributes and passive skills in total.
The last room is fixed to the city lord's room played by the player. When the current room cannot be defended, the city lord must take the battle in person. Once you are successful in defense, you can not only get money, but you can get blood, and scare away the hero and you can get tears. Money, blood, and tears can be used for later purchases and upgrades. There will also be 3 additional rewards to choose from, including artifacts, money, skill bonuses, monsters, etc.
and if the defense fails, he will be fired and the game ends. After that, the player can only inherit the level and continue to start again on this save, and the skill bonuses, upgraded monsters, acquired artifacts, etc. during the period will be lost.
various tasks encountered during the game promotion. The commonly used tasks are:
events: encounter various random events, both good and bad.
training: Upgrade monster level.
Engineer: Upgrade the trap level.
Business: Buy monsters and traps.
There are some special tasks:
Business travel: Let monsters perform to get various rewards and artifacts. Repeatedly obtaining the artifact will be upgraded, but this monster is not available during the trip.
Doctor: You can restore 10% of the city lord's health for free
Course: Use gold coins to train employees to upgrade monsters.
Exercise: Spend blood, tears and gold coins to improve the city lord's attributes.
Sanctuary: Use tears and blood to curse the incoming heroes.
The heroes who come to attack will become stronger and stronger: there are adventurers, veterans, and champions. The higher the difficulty, the stronger the hero, and of course, the better the rewards will be received after victory.
Summary: The butt determines the head, and the world view shown by different positions has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The game we often play is to play heroes, destroy monsters and obtain treasures. But this game is abnormal and plays a monster and destroys the heroes to guard the treasure. So, are the heroes a group of great men or robbers?
Due to the change in the character's perspective, the justice of traditional heroes in obtaining treasures has been questioned. Like Pixar's animated film Monster Company, monsters must let their children scream to get electricity. In the world of monsters they are heroes, but in the world of humans they are threats.
This change in position makes the traditional monster with a hideous face suddenly become cute. "Legend of Guardians" also has this similar effect, which gives players who are first touching a certain sense of novelty. In addition, the Roguelike elements included in the game make each game different. It seems simple but is actually difficult. At the same time, the irreversible game makes every choice of players related to future development. The hero encountered his two monster employees fighting and asked if they were punished? He chose not to punish, but one of the monsters was retaliated after a few days and died. I guess if I choose to punish, the two monsters will probably not be able to use them for several weeks.
In short, this game can be downloaded and played because it is still very interesting. What’s more important is that it is free.
