A humorous RPG based on the mega-popular Taiwan TV puppet show called Pili (霹靂). There are at least about five Chinese-language games dedicated to this series. The peculiarity of Pili's puppet shows is a huge number of characters (there is information that they are constantly replenished in the series!) And the most detailed study of each character: appearance, character, habits, manner of fighting, etc. for game creators, this is truly a Klondike. And what, in fact, this time: what adventures have the developers prepared for us in the bottomless world of Pili? You will play as an ugly, curious, cowardly and therefore a very funny old man named Qin Jiaxian (秦假仙). He has thick black hair, bulging eyes, antennae, and a large red nose. This was done on purpose, so to speak - with a mockery, since many gamers have already begun to get used to the role of beautiful and "correct" blonde warriors, such as Luanshi Kuandao (亂世 狂刀) or Ye Xiaochai (葉小 釵) in previous games. By the way, you will also meet them in this RPG. In addition to them, there will also be beautiful Mo Zhaonu (莫召奴), smug Aosyao Hongchen (傲 笑 紅塵) and a number of other characters. Role-playing system - well, just good-looking. The main parameters are physical strength, inner strength and experience. There are only nine secondary parameters: defense, ingenuity, grace, etc. As you know, Pili has ingredients for magic. These are five elements: wind, thunder, ice, fire and earth. In addition to them, there are five entities: light, darkness, strength, poison and chaos. Here's an interesting role model. Of course, in the beginning, your "handsome" will have the minimum values of these qualities. In addition to role-playing parameters, there are weapons: in the minimum "configuration" it is an ordinary dao sword, and it is also possible to use various items. They are divided into food, drugs, poisons, etc. Weapons are clearly subdivided into the following types in groups: dao (swords sharpened on one side), swords and double-edged swords. Control - only with the mouse, which will be pleasant to any gamer. In general, the game mechanics leaves the most blissful impression. It feels like they took a classic RPG from the early 1990s and wrapped it in vibrant modern graphics. You can walk on the large outer map and visit various places. These places will open to you only in a certain sequence, which you must gradually find yourself. There inside (caves, buildings, forest, ruins, etc.) you have to interact through dialogues with characters and perform some actions. Unlike the old classic RPGs, no one attacks you on the big map. Battles take place inside locations. The battle was implemented with a step-by-step exchange of blows - and this is in 2000! You can apply blow or magic to the enemy. And for oneself, a loved one has the opportunity to heal, apply an object, to defend and, of course, sometimes it is corny to escape. Unlike early RPGs, fights are not particularly fatal here: lost and lost - just nobody kills our hero because of his pathetic worthlessness, quote: "... you are absolutely useless person, so I will not kill you!" Since our old man is a very quarrelsome person, in any dialogue there is quickly a transition "to personalities" with the use of "three-story" mutual insults. This humor is felt even with minimal knowledge of the Chinese language. All events on the first map (on the first level) revolve around the death of one of the respected people, for whose body they have already "arrived". Arrived - that's how it is said! A whole delegation of dolls from the underworld with greenish and purple "muzzles". And with them is also a skeleton harnessed to a hearse (!). |
