Since the first generation, Daewoo 's " Monopoly " has been loved by countless Chinese players because of its interesting gameplay and humorous style. Even the sales of "Monopoly 4" far exceeds that of Daewoo's classic work "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series after .
From this point of view, Daewoo's "Monopoly" series is undoubtedly a national-level game.
The first generation of Monopoly
, especially the characters created by the game - the honest and honest Atubo, the cute and clever Jin Beibei, the charming Mrs. Qian, etc., have still attracted countless players more than ten years later.
Mrs. Qian’s classic line
Following the release of "Monopoly 10" in 2019, "Monopoly 11" finally appeared in front of players after three years. "Monopoly 11" will be available on steam and Switch platforms on October 20. Steam is priced at 66 yuan in the country, and the Switch Hong Kong service is priced at 129 yuan, and there is a 10% discount on the first week.
Perhaps for fans of the "Monopoly" series, after playing the previous work "Monopoly 10", they will be a little worried about the quality of this work. So, in the following content, I will also use "Monopoly 10" as a reference to talk about the game experience that "Monopoly 11" brings me this time.
sincere content
I have to say that compared to the previous work, this new work is really richer in terms of the picture and content.
The first release of Monopoly 11 has 14 characters to choose from.
is like the most popular Sun Xiaomei , Mrs. Qian, Asu Bo and other classic characters. You can see most of the classic characters from all generations in this work.
The 14 characters that debuted in
have only 6 characters compared to the previous work. This time there are really a lot more
From the perspective of the style, the characters this time can be said to be a makeover and look more "mature". Maybe I've gotten used to the style of the Q-version big-headed doll in the previous few works, and I may not be able to adapt to this style, but after watching it for a long time, I actually feel it's not bad.

Interestingly, on the character selection page, you can change these characters into various different clothes according to your preferences, and each character also has his own different styles of clothing.
Change characters to
Like the previous game, some characters have vehicles that match their identities. For example, Sharonbass's vehicle is an Indian flying carpet, while Umi's vehicle is a little wolf and a tiger, which also adds a lot of fun to the game.
Let’s talk about this map again.
There are a total of 12 maps for the first release of Monopoly 11, including 8 maps in traditional mode and 4 hot-fighting maps.
Traditional map
This time the map has also changed the way of using countries and cities as the themes, and has used various styles as the themes of the map.
For example, the Snow Country theme map in the picture, there are also the Tang Dynasty style sky never sleeping, the fantasy sky courtyard, and even the cyberpunk style mountain city, etc. At the same time, since the previous generation received bad reviews from many players because the map was too small, the map of this game has also been improved, and it does not feel like "playing house" when playing.

Hot Fighting Mode has appeared. In "Monopoly 10", Hot Fighting Mode has also been added to the game as a new mode.
In the hot-fight map, the small real estate grid will be replaced by attack card grids such as mines, missiles, and explosives. Using attack cards to directly cause money damage to the opponent is the winning mechanism of the hot-fight map.
"Monopoly 10" hot fighting mode
However, many players said that because the pace is too fast, the hot fighting mode is not very fun. This game has improved this mode, and the Hot Fighting Mode no longer uses the same map as the traditional mode.
Hot Bucket Mode Four Maps
Hot Bucket Map will have its own path different from traditional maps.These map paths are usually more densely intertwined, such as in the "Candy War" map, the "Jelly" can be transmitted layer by layer to higher maps, which makes it more urgency to play.

By the way, the UI of this game is also very concise and clear. Perhaps after logging in to steam and switch, the game will also log on to the mobile platform like the previous work.
The UI of the game is very concise and clear.
. Let’s have some new tricks
Although some changes cannot be liked by all players during the iteration of "Monopoly" in the process of "Monopoly" iteration, Daewoo is still persistent in adding some new tricks to each generation - "Monopoly 11" is no exception.
After the real-time system changes failed, the Monopoly series finally returned to the turn-based mode. As more and more players begin to tend to play fast-paced mode, producers have also thought and changed how to speed up the game, such as the hot-fighting mode added in Monopoly 10.
has been added to the live " Monopoly 5" for the first time. However, the modified "monopoly 10" did not receive everyone's praise.
So in order to further enhance the game experience of players, the producers have also added some "new tricks" to the game this time.
This time, "Monopoly 11" has added the "mechanism" design of the map to the series for the first time. Each map has mechanisms that meet their own scenes. These mechanisms can change the role position, remove NPCs and other different mechanism effects.
is like in the "Cloud Garden" map, you can step on the clouds and fly on the fog to another place.
On the map of "Mechanical Maze", stepping on a specific mechanism can transfer the place where the plot leads, increasing the complexity of the terrain.
not only made some changes on the map, but also "Monopoly 11" has also made some new things on the cards.
"Monopoly 11" has added some "super cards" synthesis gameplay - if you have multiple same cards, you can choose to synthesize more advanced cards like "autochess".
However, like the previous work, this work still cancels the point mechanism, and the cards are also very easy to obtain. Perhaps it still has a certain impact on the balance of the game.
In this regard, the game optimized and upgraded the balance of the card based on the previous work data feedback.
is like some, which weakens the effect of some attack cards in this game; and the machine doll that cleans the roadblocks can freely choose where to go when facing the forks. (However, the machine doll will still clear the good and bad gods together, so how to use it depends on your choice)
In terms of card acquisition methods, in addition to stores and card stealing, a mysterious man in white has been added to the game, and you can buy cards at a lower price.
In this Monopoly 11, a new "Lord Battle" mode has been added - in multiplayer mode, we can choose to work together to fight a "Lord" character.
There are two lords in "Monopoly 11" this time - Octopus King and Doctor Who.
Doctor Who can make the challenger hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose one thousand. While he endured the money loss, he would equally deduct all the challengers. With the difficulty of unlocking Doctor Who will have more hands.
, and the Octopus King's feature is the design around picking cards and missile cards. As the difficulty increases, these lords also have stronger abilities.
still has to be said, although it is four to one, it is actually quite easy to lose when playing. So don't take it lightly when challenging them.
A failed game
is pretty good game experience
Many people say that the AI of Monopoly 10 is very mentally retarded. While I was playing Monopoly 11, I was surprised to find that there was no major problem with the logic of AI.
is a bit mentally retarded like the AI in the previous game, "using sweeping cards without anything in front", which mostly does not appear in this game.
In the game, AI will use the corresponding props to ensure that they can get a larger real estate. When encountering bad gods and props ahead, they will also clean up the road conditions ahead at the right time. At the same time, there are few situations where AI works together to persecute players, and it is quite comfortable to play.
continues the previous changes. In order not to make the game appear to be slow, the stock trading method is still cancelled in the multiplayer mode, which may be considered after careful consideration. However, many players still expressed that they wanted to play the stock trading mechanism in multiplayer mode. Perhaps it is better to add a switch when setting the game's start.
is the same as the previous game. This game can also provide online game multiplayer networking function, and it also supports multiple controllers. You can also customize the game parameters according to your preferences.
is a game that was experienced in advance and has not yet experienced the online function, so the network function will not be evaluated here. However, for the countless bad reviews about the networking function after the previous work was released, I think Monopoly 11 will also improve this aspect (if I didn't say it).
According to the official news, this time, many people have strengthened the platform's friend invitation function online. After completing a competition, you can quickly invite friends to join the next competition, which is much more convenient.

After I experienced it, after the previous work was negatively reviewed by players due to its poor content and unreasonable game mechanism, this time "Monopoly 11" looks like Daewoo's more attentive work.
adapts to the improvement of the times
In my opinion, "Monopoly" is a game that requires a certain amount of wisdom and luck, but not a game that requires victory.
After starting to immerse yourself in the world of Monopoly 11 for the goal of "first", I looked back and realized that the happiest thing was not to be the richest asset, but the most important reason for my fun was the whole process of prank and planning strategies.
Please boldly use props
compared to the previous work with slightly poor content. This work has greatly improved in terms of gameplay and game experience, which also made me experience a lot of fun throughout the game.
Although this series has fallen into a long bottleneck period after the peak of the series' reputation "Monopoly 4", many people still think that "Monopoly 4" is an insurmountable work, and the subsequent series has somewhat "nothing".
But I think the reason why players feel more and more boring is that in such a fast-paced era, traditional gameplay like Monopoly has gradually lagged behind the era.
Under such circumstances, Monopoly 11 also chose to adapt to the times and gradually accelerated its game pace. The childhood years that can spend a lot of time was over. Now, we spend a little time playing one or two of Monopoly 11 is also a good gaming experience.
