During the adventure, players may encounter various monsters. In order to protect themselves and move forward, players need to operate characters to fight. This means that players will fight monsters, using various skills and attacks to defeat them.

The game is very innovative. The traditional plot game fighting mode is turn-based, while the fighting mode of "Devil Heroes" is a hand-rubbing combat mode, which tests the player's finger dexterity. The story of the game will gradually unfold, and each stage has new tasks and challenges waiting for players to complete. Players need to constantly upgrade their skills and equipment to deal with more challenging enemies and levels. In the end, players will face a powerful Boss enemy, and only by successfully defeating the Boss can they complete the challenges of the entire game.

combat system

·Battle rules

In the game "Legend of FC Demon Heroes", when players walk a certain distance on the world map, they will encounter various monsters. Unlike traditional turn-based games, this game uses action fighting. Players need to use fighting skills, magic, and proficiency in the weapons in their hands to defeat enemies and gain experience points.

By defeating monsters, players can gain experience points and drop items, including gold coins, equipment, and spellbooks. The accumulation of experience points can improve the player's level, increase attribute points and skill points, and thus improve combat effectiveness.

Advantages of the game

1. Rich and interesting plot: The game has a deep and complex storyline, which can attract players' interest and immerse themselves in the game world. The storyline is presented through rich characters and scenes, providing players with a rich and varied gaming experience.

2. Well-crafted sound effects: The sound design of the game is excellent, with high-quality audio effects and music that enhance the atmosphere and emotion of the game. The game sound effects have been carefully designed and adjusted to perfectly match the game scenes and plots, providing a more realistic gaming experience.

3. Excellent special effects: The magical special effects in this game are well-made, with unique design and excellent visual effects. These special effects can enhance the playability and interest of the game, provide players with a good visual experience, and also improve the art design and artistic value of the game.

4. Excellent plot: "The Legend of Heroes of the Demon God" is a fascinating game work, and its plot design is very good. The storyline in the game is displayed through rich characters and scenes, providing players with a deep and complex story experience. This kind of excellent plot design can attract players' motivation to continue exploring and gain a deeper understanding of the plot and characters in the game world.

5. Balanced and reasonable game design: The game pays great attention to balance and rationality in design. The combat system, upgrade mechanism and level design in the game have been carefully planned and adjusted to ensure that each player's experience in the game is fair and balanced. This balance mechanism prevents players from gaining an advantage in a certain stage of combat, and must gradually upgrade their characters and skills, thus improving the challenge and strategy of the game.


game disadvantages

1. There are few hidden levels in this game, and there are almost no sub-quests, which makes the game relatively simple and reduces the fun of the game.


2. When the protagonist acts on the map, the time interval between spawning monsters is too short, which will easily make the player tired of the battle.


3. The character growth mechanism in the game is unreasonably designed. Generally speaking, players will feel very happy when they upgrade, but the upgrade mechanism of "Devil Heroes" is very unreasonable. Specifically, it is very easy for players to upgrade in the first 5 levels, but it becomes extremely difficult to upgrade in the later stages, and there is no significant increase in numerical values ​​after the upgrade; However, "Legend of Heroes of the Demon God" only increased the upper limit of hp and mana, and did not give players any numerical supplements.


4. There are problems with some settings in the game, such as "Storm Magic", which consumes 30 mana points, but causes very little damage. It just blows the enemy out of the battle interface, and there is no subsequent damage. However, the "Crystal Ice Magic", which costs 10 mana points, is more effective.

Storm Magic:

Crystallized Ice Magic:

There is a "combat boundary" problem in the game. The area where players can act is very limited. When a monster is knocked out of bounds, it takes a lot of time to lead it back to the combat area. This problem will indeed waste the player's time, and it can be properly modified to reduce the game experience

5. Some plot settings in the game are flawed and inconsistent. Specifically, in the grassland stage, the player defeated the demon, the king promised to betroth the princess to the player, and agreed to hold the wedding after the player cleared the level. Players have great expectations for this and struggle to get the princess's love.

However, after the player clears the level, the princess is not with the player, but with another character "Vattaro". This inconsistent setting makes some players feel sad. The player is saving Wataruo throughout the game, and the player has put in so much effort to get the princess's love! But in the end, only the wedding dress was made for the Wataro people, which is puzzling. If I had known earlier, I would not be saved.

The game is worth learning

  1. In the combat system module, most plot games adopt a turn-based combat method. However, game companies can also add "action mode", which allows players to choose their own combat mode.insert image description here

  2. In the combat system module, the game data changes caused by each attack will be recorded in the table.
    insert image description here

  3. In the plot module, players can challenge the follow-up powerful plot boss in advance during the main task plot stage, so that they can know their own strength in advance.

  4. In terms of game development and design, the developers deliberately kept a lot of interesting bugs, which increased the playability of the game and made many players enjoy it.

  5. In terms of game props, there is a prop called "sleep learning", which allows players to gain experience and upgrade during the rest process; there is also a prop called "power potion", which can increase the number of equipment players carry. The design of these two props is very interesting.

  6. A "post" is set up in the game, and players can go from the station of the current village to the station of any village they have experienced before. This design greatly saves walking time and is very convenient.
