“The combat system of “”end of the United States”” was also very unique. ”
“Even though Chen Mo didn’t have any special zombies or special weapons like survival apocalypse, the players realized after playing that the combat system was very different from traditional zombie games. It was completely different from all the games that Chen Mo had played before. ”
!!
“Simply put, the combat system of “”doomsday of the United States”” was more realistic, and it could better show the real state of humans fighting zombies in the apocalypse. ”
“In “”doomsday of the United States,”” fighting against humans and fighting against zombies were two different ways of fighting. ”
“When fighting with zombies, the zombies ‘best sense was hearing. Their vision was very poor, so they had to walk slowly and quietly. ”
“””Listening”” and “”assassination”” were the most common combat methods. “”Listen”” was a special ability of the protagonist. In the state of “”listen,”” the protagonist’s movements would become very slow and he would almost not make any sound. At the same time, he could locate the zombies and humans behind the wall through his hearing. ”
“The zombies in the game were divided into ordinary zombies and special zombies. The ordinary zombies could be killed directly by the stealth engine, but some special zombies, such as the voice tracker, could not be killed by strangulation. They had to be killed with a Switchblade. ”
“Moreover, zombies had very sharp hearing. As long as they fired a shot, the surrounding zombies would definitely swarm over. If the protagonist was bitten, the game would end directly. Therefore, in a battle, the most cost-effective way was to assassinate or simply avoid the battle in stealth. It was not realistic to shoot and kill all the way. ”
“This was different from other zombie games. Other zombie games always tried to give the main character a bunch of killing weapons, such as chainsaws, Gatling guns, and so on, so that the players could experience the thrill of killing zombies. But thinking about it carefully, if it was really the end of the world 20 years later, it would be good enough to find a few bullets. Things like chainsaws and Gatling guns were basically difficult to get. ”
“As for fighting against humans, it was another way of fighting. ”
“Humans had very good vision, and they would be discovered as soon as they showed their heads. However, his hearing was slightly worse, so the difficulty of stealth assassination was slightly reduced. ”
“Humans often carried live ammunition, so this kind of battle was a bit similar to “”mysterious sea””, which was a combination of stealth assassination and gunfight behind cover. However, because the number of bullets in the players ‘hands was extremely limited, it was impossible for them to shoot all the way like in the simple mode of “”mysterious Sea area.”” Guns could only be used as a tactical weapon. In most cases, the protagonist’s weapon was a bottle of wine, a brick, or even a physical fight. ”
“In particular, his brick-smacking fighting style was very down-to-earth. ”
“Therefore, although the combat system and resource system of “”doomsday of the United States”” seemed a little stingy at first glance, it was actually closer to the real doomsday ecosystem. ”
“20 years after the virus outbreak, if there was any combat material that had an unlimited supply, it would probably be bricks. ”
“On the surface, this combat system still looked like stealth, assassination, and shooting from behind cover. However, with the special background of the apocalypse zombies, the “”listening”” ability, and the complex weapon system, it became brand new. It had a very clear distinction from other games, and the combat experience had its own characteristics. ”
……
……
Zhao Lei was completely immersed in the plot of ‘doomsday of the United States’.
“Qiaoer and Tessa found Robert to track down a batch of their goods. They met the leader of the fireflies, Marlene, and accepted a special deal. Bring a 13-year-old loli named Allie out of the city and obtain a large number of weapons. ”
“However, on the way out of the city, they met soldiers and found out that Ellie was actually infected. However, she was an infected person who had developed antibodies. This little girl might have the key to creating the zombie virus vaccine. ”
“However, when they finally arrived at the Capitol after much difficulty, the plot was reversed again. ”
“The Firefly members in the parliament building had all been evacuated, but Daisy insisted on continuing to search for fireflies as she had been infected and did not have much time left. In this post-apocalyptic world, qiaoer could survive not because he was strong, but because he was lucky, and luck would eventually run out. ”
“Daisy hoped that qiaoer could send Ellie to the Firefly organization to develop a vaccine, while she chose to cover their retreat and delay the soldiers who came to search. ”
“Qiaoer and Ellie went through a lot of trouble to avoid the soldiers ‘pursuit. At the same time, the plot also welcomed a very crucial turning point. ”
What should he do next?
Zhao Lei could empathize with qiaoer’s situation.
“In his 20 years of life on the run, qiaoer had experienced too much. He was used to seeing mutual deception and the cruelty of the apocalypse. This could be seen from the fact that he could calmly and unhesitatingly kill the soldiers and enemies who threatened him. ”
“Qiaoer was also very cold to Ellie. The reason he escorted Ellie was not out of sympathy, but to get the weapons. This was just a deal. ”
“He had to admit that qiaoer’s mentality was very in line with the rules of conduct after the end of the world. If qiaoer wasn’t such a person, he wouldn’t have been able to survive for 20 years. ”
Qiaoer was obviously unwilling to risk his life for an illusory goal at this time.
“But no matter what, qiaoer couldn’t just leave Allie behind, so the plot continued. Qiaoer ran to the next destination. ”
“In the course of the game, Zhao Lei discovered some very interesting points. ”
“First of all, qiaoer’s attitude towards Allie was a little repulsive. Compared to the kind father from 20 years ago, qiaoer was now like a cold and emotionless egoist. He basically didn’t respond to Allie’s jokes at all. Sometimes, he would even scold her sternly. ”
“Of course, this was more of a self-defense mentality. Obviously, qiaoer had seen many examples in the past 20 years. Just like he said,””the only use of the things you care about is to kill you.”” Qiaoer wanted to live on and did not want to take risks for an illusionary goal. ”
“The portrayal of such a character made Zhao Lei feel that it was very real and very appropriate. In the apocalypse, qiaoer was no longer a good person, but he did not become a bad person either. He just put on a protective color and became a gray person who could survive more easily in the apocalypse. ”
“Secondly, Joel and Allie were partners, and their relationship was completely different from that between Joel and Tessa. This difference could be seen in the way they played. ”
“Tessa was a typical tomboy, so whenever they reached a high place, Joel could pull Tessa up and Tessa would pull him up. But Allie was just a little girl, and she couldn’t pull Joel away, so she could only look for the key or some special tools after he pulled her over. ”
“Moreover, Daisy was basically armed with live ammunition, while Allie was unarmed. When he had gotten the bow, Ellie had asked him to use it, but qiaoer had rejected her. No matter how much Ellie had asked, qiaoer did not want to give her any weapon. ”
“But even so, Allie would still find things like bottles and bricks from the scenes, which often helped qiaoer. ”
“Qiaoer and Allie’s pairing was also dramatic, full of contradictions and conflicts. This made Zhao Lei very curious as to how the plot would develop. ”
