When it comes to football, more people may think of the active figures of the players in the World Cup or the usual games. They use their skillful skills to bring us one wonderful game after another. Among the many players, there are many stars with superb skills, such as Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo, Beckham, , etc., and they generally receive much more attention than ordinary players.
When it comes to sports games, the first thing that comes to mind for many players is "FIFA" and "Live Football". These two serious football games have accumulated a lot of good reputation after years of development, which has also impressed many players.
's high-quality game quality has also made "FIFA" and "Live Football" occupy the football game market for a long time, but as time goes by, serious football games are difficult to make big breakthroughs in gameplay. They basically fall into the scope of minor changes, and they still feel that there is little change when playing. This also makes me want to play those unreasonable football games other than serious football games.
When it comes to unfair aspects, we have to mention Japan. In most people's impression, things that seem serious will undergo some wonderful changes once they have been baptized by the powerful brains of the Japanese. But after performing these changes on a Japanese platform, they did not feel anything wrong, but instead became even more exciting, which also included football games.
In the Japanese game market, in addition to "Live Football" produced by Konami, there are also some less serious football games. One of these games attracted the author's attention, that is the "Lightning Eleven" series" produced and released by LEVEL-5.
"Lightning Eleven" debuted
dialed the roulette of time back to August 22, 2008. At this time, Nintendo 's handheld machine NDS has been on sale for nearly four years. The dual-screen design, lower-screen touch screen and configuration of microphone sound input device provided many possibilities for the gameplay method at that time. It was also on this day that the first work of "The Eleven of Lightning" was launched on NDS. Although
is a football game, "Lightning Eleven" has added RPG elements to it, allowing players to cultivate their own teams to increase their members, practices and competitions to promote the game, with the ultimate goal of winning the National Congress. There are three modes in the
game, namely story mode, game mode and communication mode. The focus of the story mode and the game mode is different, while the communication mode uses NDS wireless communication to allow players to exchange and fight between players, and can also download new credit-specific characters through WIFI. The story told by the first generation of
is relatively simple. At the beginning, the player will play the role of Yuando as the protagonist. He loves football and comes to a school called Leimen National Middle School and joins the football club. However, the strength of the football club is seriously low at this time, and even the 11 most basic people can't get together. So the burden of revitalizing Leimen Football Club was placed on Yuantang Shou. After hard recruiting 11 players, he began the road to revitalizing Leimen Football Club. During this period, after continuous special training and competitions, Leimen Junior High School defeated Shiyuzi Junior High School, which had the water of God, and won the national championship.
is different from ordinary football games. In addition to general kicking and passing, "Lightning Eleven" also has the use of ultimate skill. When attacking or defending against the enemy, time will be paused and waiting for skill commands. Players can choose normal commands or special skills, and after deciding on skills, they will enter command battle. If the success rate is higher than the enemy, you can successfully use the skills, but if the success rate is lower than the enemy, you will be intercepted by the enemy. Therefore, how to use commands correctly is also something that players need to think about during the game.
is like a general RPG game. The protagonist will also encounter enemies when moving on the map. However, the combat mechanism is not the regular 11vs11, but a 15-minute mini-game played in 4vs4. Only when encountering a boss battle or a plot match will it become a 30-minute official match of 11 vs11.
has more than one way to recruit players, and players can recruit in many ways.For example, managers' exploration, players' connections, and poaching from other teams, and each player has different abilities and ultimate skills. If the resource is allocated reasonably, it will be of great help to improve the team's overall ability.
, as the first generation work of "Lightning Eleven", injects fresh blood into football games with rich cultivation elements and fresh gameplay, providing another idea for the development of football games. Of course, its sales also satisfy the LEVEL-5, so the sequel is naturally ready.
" Lightning Eleven 2"
A year later, the sequel to "Lightning Eleven" "Lightning Eleven 2 Threatening Invaders" was officially released. A lot of new elements have been added to inherit the previous work, and unlike the previous work, only one version was released, this time it was released into two versions: Fire and Ice Edition. The differences between versions make the players who can join different, and the enemies who appear will also vary according to the version, making this game worth repeating.
The story probably said that the screenwriter felt that the plot was developing too ordinary, so he decided to add something different to it. So when Leimen Middle School won the national championship and returned to school, an unknown black object suddenly fell from the sky and fell to Leimen Middle School. As the black object exploded, Leimen Middle School was attacked by the alien cosmic group "Alien Academy". In order to fight against the Alien Academy, the protagonist and his group had to become the strongest team on Earth, and under the leadership of instructor Hitoko Yoshiro, they took a lightning caravan to fight.
This game has improved some aspects based on the previous system. For example, in the previous game, the "long shot" must be at a certain distance from the opponent's goal before the shooter can shoot. In this game, just click the S icon at the bottom of the screen to shoot for a long shot. If there is an L icon in the shooting skills, it means that you can use the ultimate shot for a long shot.
In addition to "long shot", the activation method of "Burning Phase" in the previous work has also been changed. The previous work was that different threesmen had to shoot three goals during the game time before they could start. After this game, it can be activated by pressing the L or R key at any time. It can only be activated once in a game and the performance lasts for only 14 minutes. In terms of skills, in addition to the ultimate skill of the previous work, an element called "Special Skill" has also been added. There are many effects of special skills, such as increasing your ability or the entire team and increasing the success rate of the kill skills, etc. The acquisition of special skills can also be learned through the form of a secret letter.
In addition, in terms of shooting, this game has added a new element called "Shot Blocking". When the opponent shoots in the track range, if the player other than the goalkeeper has the B-icon ultimate skill, he can stop the opponent's shot or weaken its power, because sometimes if the long-distance shooting is not "shot-to-shoot", the goalkeeper cannot hold it. Despite this, the goalkeeper's ability will increase significantly when he takes the ball near the goal, and the inability to use the ultimate skill to do this can be regarded as a small flaw. In addition to recruiting the previous game, there are also elements of "key characters" and "character replacement". Key characters can be selected in the picture of changing formation, and the differences in key characters will have a great impact on the ability of the entire team. "Character replacement" means that some characters can be replaced, and the replaced person will have different changes in the entire ability.
This game also adds Extra and Preminum battles in terms of battles. Extra battles are equivalent to the practice match of the previous work. They can compete again with the teams they have played. Unlike the practice matches in the previous work, this time they can get different rewards as the progress unfolds. Preminum battle is a special feature after the game is cleared. The biggest feature is that the lineup of the battle team is not arranged according to the story plot, and if various specified conditions are met, specific characters can be added to their team. The difference between the double version of
is not only in terms of players and strong rivals, but also in the different creations of the theme song and the ending song.Just like the opening song of the Fire version is "Thank you for thanks! ~ スーパーファイアススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススススス� The opening song of the Ice Edition is "つながリーヨ", and the ending song is "あいつはは免ボーイ!". They are all created separately according to the version, and can be said to be full of sincerity.
"Lightning Eleven 2 Threatening Invaders" has once again strengthened the gameplay on the basis of ensuring the quality of the previous work, and the dual version settings also make the game more fun, making the quality of this work a higher level. In addition, it achieved a sales volume of more than 1 million in two and a half months after its release in Japan. It can be said that the momentum of the game is getting more and more enthusiastic.
" Lightning Eleven 3"
One year after the second part was released, the third work of "Lightning Eleven" "Lightning Eleven 3" "The Challenge of the World! 》 is released. This work also launched a dual version called "Flash Edition" and "Bomb Edition", and later launched a third expansion pack called "Wangya Edition", adding some new content to the Flash Edition and Bomb Edition.
The story of this work took place three months after the end of the Alien Academy incident. At this time, a world competition called Football Frontier International's international football expansion competition is about to begin. Unlike the national competition, this time we have to face the challenges of top football players from all over the world. The strongest football teams in each country will gather here. For this World Championship, football coach Takamasaki Atsuki gathered 16 people including Yuando Guard to form a team called "Lightning Japan Team" to represent Japan in the World Championship. Later, Takamasaki Atsuki recommended a man named Daoya to be the coach of the Japanese team. Therefore, the protagonist and his group embarked on the journey again in order to win the World Championships.
has added more new systems than the previous work, and there are a few new systems added in this work. Through 2→3 Super Link and 3→3 Super Link, you can make "Lightning Eleven 2 Threatening Invaders" and "Lightning Eleven 3 World Challenge! 》 can be challenged in the world of "Lightning Eleven 3"! 》 and "Lightning Eleven People 3 The Challenge of the World Wang Ya!!".
In terms of playing football, a new element called "Kill Tactics" was added to the previous game's ultimate skill. This is a ultimate skill used as a whole. Players can affect local or entire court by consuming TTP and clicking the T icon at the bottom of the screen. If used properly, the situation can be reversed instantly. However, the killing tactics cannot be used at will. If there is no one holding the ball, the goal ball holding the ball, and the tactical cooling (if either side launches the tactics, the entire court enters the tactical cooling time, and neither side cannot launch the tactics. After entering the CD, the countdown on the letter T starts, from 9 to 0, and then return to normal.), the T icon at the bottom of the screen is displayed in a gray unclickable state.
followed by a new element called "Shot Chain". In the track range of the long-range shot, if there is a C icon on the killing move at this time, you can start the shooting chain to improve your chances of scoring.
, like the previous work, there are some differences in the two versions of this work, mainly reflected in the initial characters, hidden teams, setting sets that can be viewed after passing the level, and hidden secret letters. However, the Wangya version launched later is quite different from the previous double versions. In the plot, the "Wangya Legion" appeared in the theater animation as the main enemy. Wangya's main players and brand new enemy characters will appear one by one.
Our players will also change according to the appearance of the Wangya version, and many limited characters will appear. In addition, the enemy players will also change. The enemy will appear only in the Wangya version, and we will also have exclusive killing skills that correspond to the Wangya version.
In addition to the above changes, the puzzles left in the double version will be answered one by one in the Wangya version.In addition, this game will also add a brand new "Cup" system and "Wangya Platinum Connection" system. In these two systems, players may also obtain super rare players, and there is even the possibility of pulling the members of the Wangya team to our team. Although
has been released in three versions this time, Level-5 is not perfunctory in terms of theme song and ending song. Each version has its corresponding theme and ending song. The theme song of the flash version is "GOOD キター!" and the ending song is "The Majesty WAO! (スパーワゼ)". The theme song of the bomb version is "Yuanqiu Nami"!", and the ending song is "Benqiu"!!". The theme song of Wang Ya version is "Theme" and the ending song is "Theme" and the ending song is "Theme"!". Sincerity hits you again.
"Lightning Eleven People 3 The Challenge of the World! 》 As the end of Yuantang's chapter, the game was strengthened again on the basis of inheriting the first two works, allowing the Lightning Eleven to complete the evolution again. Level-5 uses this sincere attitude to put a perfect end to these trilogies and lay a good foundation for the beginning of the new trilogy.
"Lightning Eleven" for home console platform
However, before the new trilogy, "Lightning Eleven" series" was transferred from the handheld platform to the home console platform, and launched the "Ace Forward" series" work on Nintendo's Wii. Level-5 is positioned as a "super-dimensional combat football" for the series, and has released three works, "Lightning Eleven Ace Forward", "Lightning Eleven Ace Forward 2012 Xtreme" and " Lightning Eleven GO Ace Forward 2013".
"Ace Forward" series" includes the characters, ultimate skills that appeared in the series, and the characters of the new Leimen Team and Zero Team in "Lightning Eleven GO" that were later launched. The picture is shown in 3D form. When using ultimate skills, there will also be a sound move animation. In 2012, avatars, incarnation ultimate skills, combined avatars and combined avatars skills have been added.
Compared with the RPG football type in the series, "Ace Forward" series" is more like a collection of all works in the series to have a happy football match. Watching the players who are familiar with and use their stronger expressive ultimate skills to run on the court, I believe that the players' blood has become more passionate because of football at this moment.
"Lightning Eleven GO" trilogy
Then one year after the end of Yuando Shuo, that is, on December 15, 2011, Level-5 launched a series of orthodox sequels "Lightning Eleven GO" series on NDS's next-generation handheld 3DS. The stage of this work is set in Leimen Middle School, which was ten years after the previous work Yuantanghou's generation. The protagonist also changed from Yuantanghou to Songfeng Tianma. After he joined the football club, he found that the Leimen Football Club at that time was no longer as charming as he had in the past, so he decided to revitalize Leimen Football Club again to launch it. The protagonist of the previous series Yuantang Mangzhu appeared as the coach of the Leimen Football Team.
In this work, the protagonist and his group are facing an organization called "Fifth Department", which controls the operation of football nationwide and cannot participate in the game if it does not follow its instructions. So in order to fight the "Fifth Department" and get back the football spirit ten years ago. Under the leadership of Songfeng Tianma, the original Lightning Eleven people changed their name to Leimen Eleven people and Leimen football coach Yuantangshou embarked on the journey together.
The system of this game has added a new element called "Incarnation" on the original basis. Each player has his own incarnation. When the opening condition is met, players can release the incarnation by clicking on "Incarnation" on the right side of the screen to enhance the player's ability. And it can also gather the aura of other players through "incarnation absorption" to improve the ability of their incarnation. There will be KP points when avatar. The skill can be released through the KP points. When the KP points return to zero, the incarnation will disappear. The difference between
football venues is a major feature of this game. The road of light competition held divides the football venues into six different types.They are Tornado Football Stadium, Ice and Snow Football Stadium, Water World Football Stadium, Pinball Platform Football Stadium, Desert Football Stadium and Tianzhi Yumen Football Stadium. Each football field has its own characteristics and makes the gameplay diverse. For example, the Ice and Snow Football Field is a football field made of ice, which makes the ground very slippery, which makes players unable to control the ball easily. The tornado football field will cause random tornadoes on the field, causing interference to the game. The Water World Football Stadium is on the water surface. It uses various irregular wooden boards to piece together. The wooden boards will rise and fall at any time and expose them to the water surface, making it impossible for players to move forward.
Pinball Platform Football Field The structure of the entire football field is a Pinball Platform, but it is relatively simple. There will be cylindrical blocking on all sides, rebounding devices rebounding and acceleration devices strengthening the goal. The desert football field is a football field that is completely made of sand. But the sand will suddenly flow, causing the players to flow to other corners. The last Tianzhi Yumen Football Stadium can be raised and lowered.
The double version of this work is not only the common battle team, role and incarnation, but the most distinctive one is that the wife of Sorado will change according to the version, which makes people feel that some strange meanings of the development team are included.
When talking about why the new trilogy is named not "4" but "GO", Level-5's president Hino Akihiro said that this is because of the changes in the protagonist and the new features of this work, and "GO" will also exist as a keyword. I want to give this series a new beginning.
Then it was December 27, 2012, which happened to be the fifth anniversary of the Lightning Eleven series. Therefore, Level-5 also took advantage of the situation to launch the fifth anniversary work "Lightning Eleven 1.2.3! ! "The Legend of Yuantang Shu" is a remake that brings together the Yuantang Shu's articles on NDS. It is a good choice for old players who want to reminisce about it and new players who want to get into the trap but are afraid of missing the previous series.
Like the first trilogy, players welcomed the GO sequel "Lightning Eleven GO2 Stone of Time and Space", a year after the release of GO's first work, which introduced the concept of "parallel universe". The battle to regain football's existence around people coming from the future, and in order to stop their behavior, Tianma and his group went through time and space to fight back football.
This work has added another form of "incarnation" to the previous work "incarnation". By injecting Qi into the incarnation, there is a layer of armor outside the incarnation, which further strengthens the incarnation's ability. There is also a newly added "extreme fusion" that can board another player's air on the body, thereby giving birth to new players and giving a player the abilities of both.
Because this game has the concept of time travel, the protagonist and his group can shuttle between different time and space through the time machine "Lightning TM Caravan". Therefore, during this period, players can meet some familiar historical figures, such as Liu Bei, Oda Nobunaga, Joan of Arc, Zhuge Kongming and other figures, which also adds some fun to the game process.
and what the protagonist does during the process of traveling through time and space will have some impact on other parallel universes, which is the so-called "time and space resonance" phenomenon, just like the influence of Yuantangshou in middle school that he can use the Golden God Fist and Incarnation in advance.
The two versions of this work are mainly different from the objects that merge with Kongming, hidden team, limited incarnation and pre-determined specials. In the hot air version, the objects that merge with Kongming are the Sun, the hidden team is Garcia Woolfin, the captain of the werewolf clan, the limited incarnation is the Asura of the Prison Flame and the ancient divine feather snake, and the pre-determined specials are Tianma and the Sun paired mobile chain. In the Thunder version, the object that merges with Kong Ming becomes the White Dragon, the hidden pair is the captain of the vampire clan, Bonfuny Buppe, the limited incarnation becomes the Queen of Silver Golda and the Spirit Emperor Leiden, and the pre-order special is the mobile chain of Sword City and White Dragon.
is also another year later, and the third work of the GO series, "Lightning Eleven GO Galaxy", was released. After experiencing the time and space travel of the previous work, the protagonist Songfeng Tianma was invited to participate in the football competition held on the Road of Holy Light, but on the field, except for Tianma, Jiancheng and Prodigy, they are all brand new teams and players that they have never seen before. It turned out that this game was just to select a team that could participate in the Galaxy Giant Cup. So after the protagonist and his group won the game, a huge spacecraft fell from the sky, kicking off the real game "Galaxy Giant Cup".
Compared with the Earth's football match, some new rules have been added to the cosmic football match held in the solar system of Faramdit, 188,000 light years away from the Earth. First of all, the producer probably thinks that the avatar arming and extreme fusion of the previous work have too much impact on the balance of the game, so these two elements are directly prohibited in this work. In addition, female players are also allowed to participate in the game in this game, so players will see many female players appearing in this game.
Although this game prohibits the use of avatar arming and extreme fusion, there is an element called "The Power of the Beast" to replace it. The power of the beast is a secret ability hidden in the human body. It can enable users to temporarily become animals and use "soul strikes" to fight against teams from other planets. When I first heard the news of the cancellation of "incarnation armed forces" and "extreme fusion", I thought this series was about to return to serious football. If I think about it carefully, it doesn't match the style of the series, but when I saw "The Power of the Beast" later, I meant that I was thinking too much.
This game is also related to the previous game and the remake of "Lightning Eleven 1.2.3 on 3DS! ! The Legend of Yuantang is linked to the linkage. Players can obtain Fran and Wandaba players through the linkage with "GO2". The Legend of Yuantang is linked to the linkage with "The Legend of Yuantang is linked to the linkage with "The Legend of Yuantang is linked to the ghost path, and the Haoyan Temple, and the snow blowing player. In addition, the highest level limit of the ultimate skill has also changed. Players can use the ultimate evolution book to evolve the ultimate skill in a higher direction, further strengthening the ability of the ultimate skill.
is also available on the dual version (it has become the traditional series 233). Choosing different versions will affect the hidden team, soul, the team you are fighting against, and the eleven Earth players who can choose to participate. For example, in the Big Bang version, the hidden team is a team led by Sakis, while in the Supernova version, it is a team led by Agurovas. The names of the teams led by both are the same as the version name.
This work, as the final work of the protagonist Songfeng Tianma, also inherits the quality of the first two works and has added some new elements, making the performance of this work still above normal levels, but the sales volume has shown a weak trend, and the cumulative sales volume is far less than that of the first two works. It is probably Level-5 that realized that the "Lightning Eleven" series must go through a major reform to open up a new path again, so it left this series silent for a while.
A new era is coming
As time goes by, I thought the series has been forgotten by Level-5, but in 2016, Level-5 tells players that the new work of "Lightning Eleven" is confirmed by the release of illustrations, and President Akihiro Hino said on Twitter: This time, the "イ" will return to the starting point, which is a super direct and passionate work. Although it will not appear incarnation and cannot travel through time (please don't laugh at w), it will have a brand new performance, which I believe will surprise everyone.
The subsequent press conference also confirmed that the name of the new series was "Lightning Eleven, Ares' Libra". The story is set in the parallel world of the first generation, and there will be 3 protagonists who will tell the story from different perspectives. The actual game screen was released later, but the release date was still not determined.
It is 2017, just on October 22nd. Level-5 announced that "Lightning Eleven Ares' Libra" will be released in 2018 and will be logged into multiple platforms of PS4, NS, IOS and Android. Now that time is approaching, fans of the series are increasingly looking forward to the performance of the new work.
was born in the vast army of games. The "Lightning Eleven" series relies on its own unique characteristics and continuous efforts to open up a path of its own.Although I have encountered setbacks on the long road, I believe that after the accumulation of time and the attitude of Level-5, the new work of the series "Lightning Eleven, Ares' Libra" will definitely bring players that familiar fun!
