Is the star card more fun than exploring and discovering?

Game type: action clearance

Release date: March 25, 2022

Production and distribution: Hal Institute/Nintendo

Game language: Chinese

First of all, the year of the pink devil

Unconsciously, the pink magic Kirby is also 30 years old.

Masahiro Sakurai designed this soft and lovely image in 1992, which once saved the Hal Institute on the verge of bankruptcy. It's brave people who grew up in the country. Although it looks cute, it has a warrior's heart. It is not only brave and just, but also has super skills to copy the enemy's ability. With its strength in sharp contrast to its appearance, it not only captured the hearts of teenagers and ladies, but also attracted the attention of hardcore players. Even Satoru Iwata, the later president of Nintendo, is a fan.

After HAL Institute joined Nintendo, Masahiro Sakurai, Shinichi Shimomura and Shinsuke Kumazaki also developed more than 65,438+05 orthodox kabi games for the Stone Man console. It not only accumulated a high popularity for Kabi, but also made him one of the four kings of Nintendo's red, yellow, green and pink, and indirectly brought fire to supporting roles such as headscarf Wadou Rudy and Emperor.

Because Hal Institute insists on secondary production, Kabi is inevitably left out in this generation. After all, the times are developing, players have adapted to the three-dimensional gameplay, and it is time to change.

Then, this "StarCraft Kabi: Exploration and Discovery" is the first 3D Kabi game produced by Shinya Kumazaki. It adopts box level, retains rich transformation gameplay, and explores collection and reproduction.

In this 30-year-old age, can Kabi bring us mature gameplay?

Second, explore and discover the three-dimensional Kabi world.

Kobe Bryant of the Stars: Exploration and Discovery was officially released on March 25th, exclusive to Switch. The 3D image of Pink Devil is still very cute. The pink round body and the same round limbs give people a baby-like visual experience. This time, it was to save Wadou Rudis who was captured by the Beast Corps.

The game screen uses bright colors, plus the role image of QQ, which is quite a fairy tale world.

One of the characteristics of Kumazaki Kabi is cuteness, which is particularly prominent in this work, whether it is Kabi, Wadrudi or enemy characters. Sometimes, watching enemy soldiers walk around makes them feel cute. The details of the picture are also well handled. For example, flames will leave scorch marks on the ground, and snowballs will leave ice marks.

The game adopts a hierarchical system. The map is divided into grassland, beach, desert and other special levels, and each level contains several small levels. Level setting has always been a feature of Nintendo. This book is designed in a box. Although the task is to save Rudy Wadou, there are many hidden places and methods to solve puzzles. The ultimate goal is to find all Rudy Wadou as much as possible, because their number is related to the opening of checkpoints and the opening of small town buildings.

The difficulty of the Kabi series has not been high. Kabi himself has blood strips. As long as you pay attention to adding blood and avoiding it, there will be almost no death.

Kabi himself only has the ability to float in the air and swallow. If he swallows ordinary soldiers, he can spit them out and attack the enemy. If he swallows special images, he can learn their skills For example, soldiers with swords, soldiers with fires, snowmen and so on. Kabi can become a skilled soldier in an instant, and he can also use his ability to solve puzzles and accumulate strength to attack. The design of ice and snow ability is particularly fun. It can freeze the enemy into ice hockey, get out and open the way. Even the BOSS can freeze, and Kabi's walking will become skating, which is very interesting.

Being able to "fill your mouth" is a major feature of this work. Kabi can gain their abilities by swallowing large props. Unlike his skills, his ability to fill his mouth and even his appearance will change. For example, turning into a car sprint can knock down enemies and marked buildings and open hidden roads. Stairs, tires, gliders, etc. Can open more ways to solve puzzles.

Kabi is different from Mario. It has blood strips, and it will get hurt when it meets the enemy. There are food props in the checkpoint that can be restored. BOSS also has a long physical strength slot, and the key to fighting lies in the skills selected by Kabi, such as weak hair, big body and weak door (not). The physical damage of swords and boomerangs is certainly safer, but the producers also provide more interesting ways to play. For example, the BOSS gorilla in the first level can quickly freeze its legs with freezing ability, and he will fall to the ground and be executed, which can save his strength and give it a heavy blow. Moreover, these skills can be upgraded and strengthened in the weapon store, and the moves will become more cool and powerful.

The last feature is to build a small town. Wadou Rudy provided logistical support for Kabi's adventure. There are weapons shops, prop shops and other facilities here. The more Wadou Rudi rescued, the more shops can be built. Seeing these little guys busy with their work, the town is becoming more and more prosperous. Is it a sense of accomplishment?

Three: the status of the four kings is in jeopardy.

On the whole, the work exceeded expectations. I thought the Hal Society provided a sand table the size of Captain Toad, but the play was close to the experience of Super Mario Odyssey. Great efforts have been made in the design of levels and details, coupled with cute characters and fairy-tale stories, the difficulty is moderate, and players of all ages can have fun. Don't forget to play two.

Although the game is fun, there are some flaws to say. This game is not a free view, but a semi-fixed form, and some hidden positions are very difficult to find. And it is especially inconvenient in the BOSS war. Only by circling constantly can we find the angle attack. After being stuck in the perspective, you can hardly find where you are, so you can only rush out by intuition.

The other is that although there are many things collected, they are of little significance, basically gold coins and food. After rescuing all Vadoorudi, there is no need to repeat the play. It is true that the treasure level provides a challenge mode, but as long as you pass the customs within a limited time, you can get rare gems, which lacks the challenge of Mario.

There are also many surprises in the performance of the plot. Personally, I appreciate Kabi's dark worldview.

There is no doubt that the game is still fun, simple to use, rich in gameplay, and has certain collection and cultivation elements. It can be regarded as the most interesting game of Nintendo in the past three months this year. Unfortunately, due to the allocation of resources, the volume of this work cannot be compared with other first-line masterpieces such as Mario, Zelda and Bao Mengke. The thrones of the four kings of red, yellow, green and pink seem a bit unworthy of the name!

I hope HAL and Nintendo can rejuvenate Kabi!

Personal responsibility score is about 80 points (full score 100).
