Game content

Role-playing games

Role-playing games usually have a complete storyline. In the game, players can abandon their identity and play certain roles in the game to obtain a sense of substitution, such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Final Fantasy", and "The Elder Scrolls" "In the RPG game, the player seems to have the experience and experience of the game character, "entering into the play" like an actor. This requires the construction of a logically sophisticated, perfect and self-consistent game world. It also requires a game environment full of freedom. It also requires novel game plots and character creations. Players gain more than novels and movies during the game. A real experience of substitution.

Simulation games

Simulation games , now mostly electronic games, are a wide range of game types. Simulation games try to replicate various forms of "real" life to achieve the purpose of "training" players: such as improving proficiency, analyzing the situation, or predicting. Simulation games with different levels of simulation have different functions. The higher level of simulation can be used for professional knowledge training; the lower level can be used as a means of entertainment.

" Simulation " is the core of simulation games. "True" represents the real world. The higher the simulation level, the more helpful the simulation game is to real life; on the contrary, the lower the simulation level will make the game more entertaining. The level of simulation does not represent the excellence of the simulation game, but the market the game faces.

Simulation games can serve three purposes: strategy, planning, and training. The three of them correspond to "entertainment", "simulation" and "case study". Especially third parties are often reflected in simulation games, because simulation games can imitate some situations that are not often encountered in reality. Many organizations have adopted simulation games for teaching guidance. The higher the simulation level, the higher the simulation game will be called "virtual training software", but in fact the two are the same thing. The various advantages brought by simulation games have attracted attention in the western teaching circles. Many researchers have tried to support the development of simulation games to allow them to enter all aspects of life.

Simulation games have also brought about a change in the definition of the word "game". The simulation game proves that if the word "game" is interpreted as equivalent to "entertainment", it is one-sided. Games represent a comprehensive and interactive multimedia experience, and simulation games are exactly the type of games that can bring this interactive experience to society. Before the definition of the word "game" was expanded, many people named this kind of applicative game "Serious Game", although this was wrong.

Planning games

Strategy games , this type of game provides players with an environment where they can use their brains to think about problems and deal with more complex things, allowing players to freely control, manage and use people or things in the game, through this free means and players start Brainstorm ways to fight the enemy to achieve the goals required by the game.

Classification : Strategy games can be divided into two types: turn-based and real-time. Turn-based strategy games such as the "Three Kingdoms" series that everyone likes (Three Kingdoms 7, 8, and 10 are RPG-type games), "Sakura Wars" series, and also like Star Wars Round strategy online game "Interstellar Civilization"; real-time strategy games such as "Command and Conquer" series, "Age of Empires" series, "Dune", etc. Later, in the development of strategy games, a simulation game with a relatively fixed game method was formed. This type of game mainly simulates the world we live in, allowing you to operate or build some scenes like hospitals and shops in a virtual environment. You must make full use of your own wisdom to work hard to achieve the requirements of building and operating these scenes in the game, namely SIM (simulation) games, such as "The Sims", "Simulation City", "Roller Coaster Tycoon" and development games (TCG, Such as "Football Manager World", there are also development games and real-time strategy games for the purpose of cultivating and educating game objects. They are also the development and branches of strategy games, such as "Zero Boli Raising Plan", etc.) Under the SLG.

Adventure games

Adventure games focus on plot-based and exploratory interactions such as exploring the unknown and solving puzzles. Adventure games also emphasize the discovery of story clues, which mainly test the player's observation and analysis capabilities.

Adventure game (Adventure Game) is a kind of video game. Adventure games focus on plotting and exploratory interactions such as exploring the unknown and solving puzzles, emphasizing the discovery of story clues, and mainly testing the player's observation and analysis capabilities. Adventure games are sometimes very similar to role-playing games, but unlike role-playing games, adventure games are characterized by the fact that the storyline is often in the form of completing a task or solving certain puzzles. And the importance of puzzles is deliberately emphasized during the game.

Adventure games are generally divided into text-based adventure games and action-based adventure games. Text-based adventure games focus on using text or image puzzles to test players, while action-based games rely on 2D and 3D scenes with hints or mechanisms. . The similarity is that both games have the feature of "exploration". Nowadays, both action-adventure games and love text adventure games have the element of "exploration". It can be said that " exploration " is the core of adventure games.

In addition to the two ways of distinguishing between text and action, adventure games also have two ways of distinguishing between decryption and action. Although both classification methods contain "actions", they do not mean the same thing. Actions as opposed to solving puzzles refer to the two parts of puzzles and battles in the exploration. The relative between words and actions only refers to whether to explore more with the body or the words.

classification

• Text adventure

Text adventure, also known as Interactive fiction, is a traditional type of adventure game. It is generally a puzzle-solving element. Due to the rise of action-adventure games, the older generation of text-adventure games has declined. Emerging text adventure games generally contain a love element, which allows text adventure games to continue.

• Visual novel

Visual novel is a new type of adventure game. Visual novels are similar to simplified text adventure games. Visual novels have few options, but they have rich dialogues and images. Players only need to watch visual novels step by step. As the name suggests, they are novels with a lot of images. However, this method of reverting the game back to comics has been opposed by those who promote game development.

• Action adventure

Action Adventure Game (AAG) is a 3D product of clearance type action games-they also contain elements of clearance and puzzle solving. However, due to the improvement of the screen, it has changed from simply giving instructions to advance to a way that requires the use of mechanisms or action skills to advance in the level.

Action games

Action game ( Action Game ) is a game type that can be counted as an action game in a broad sense with "action" as the main form of the game. It emphasizes the player's ability to react and the coordination of hands and eyes. Mainly game consoles, supplemented by computers. The plot of an action game is generally relatively simple, and the game can be played mainly through familiarity with the operating skills. This type of game is generally more exciting, with a tight plot, rich sound and light effects, and simple operation. Action games also include "shooting games" and "fighting games".

classification

• shooting game

Shooting Game (Shooting Game, referred to as STG). It has obvious characteristics of an action game, because the characters and objects to be controlled are basically in motion. And "shooting" itself is also a kind of action. To sum it up, there is no pure shooting game, because shooting must go through an action to show its "shooting".

• Fighting games

Fighting Game (FTG). This type of game has obvious characteristics of action games and is well distinguished. The screen usually shows players standing facing each other and fighting each other, using fighting skills to defeat opponents to win.

Hot spots in the game market

In order to be able to correctly find the hot spots in today's game market, I found the ranking of downloads in the game market for the day and the ranking of recent hot searches on my mobile phone, as shown below:

First look at the ranking of downloads of the day. You can see that online games, that is, games in PVP mode, are more popular among players. Among them, Onmyoji is a strategy game, and the Condor Heroes and Naruto are all action games. It can be seen that the current hot spot lies in strategy and action games.

Looking at the games on the hot search list, you can find that many of the above games are casual puzzle stand-alone games. Most games can be attributed to ultra-casual games, that is, games that are extremely simple to operate and can be played in fragmented time. I think the main reason is that when you play games on your mobile phone, you don’t have too much time. It may be your relaxing time halfway through work and study. Such fragmented time is more suitable for playing some casual games, if you have time. , You will choose to play games on the PC side and the experience will be better.

In general, the hot spot in the mobile game market today is still ultra-casual stand-alone games, and some strategy and action online games.
