After the console version of Gotham Knight was launched, many players are busy trying it out. Is it highly playable? This is a question that many players are concerned about. In order to make it easier for netizens who are watching to understand, here are some tips for everyone. Let’s share my review experience of Gotham Knight, let’s take a look at the introduction below.
Story plot
The story of Gotham Knight begins with a video left by Bruce Wayne. At the beginning of the film, Wayne said to the four people, "If you are watching this image, then I am dead."
The plot then jumped back to before the incident, where Batman and the mysterious man were fighting in the base. During the fight, the mysterious man took off his mask and revealed that he was Ras al Ghul. Unprepared, Batman lost to Gur, and had no choice but to activate the base's self-destruction program, and the two perished in the flames together.
When the four Nightwings arrived, they only found Batman's remains. In the second half of the video, we learned that the police department never trusted them after Commissioner Gordon died, and the clock tower was left by Batman as a base of operations. Everyone.
Of course, all of Batman's files and some outdated equipment are still stored in the base. Afterwards, everyone attended Bruce Wayne's funeral. After the funeral, the four people discussed and decided to start the investigation from the last case of Batman's lifetime. The game officially started after the four protagonists were selected.
As the plot continues to deepen, Harley Quinn will send a video. In the video, Harley Quinn says that she has obtained the cause of Batman's death, and if she wants it, she can come to Blackgate Prison. When Harley Quinn's main plot is advanced, the story about Harley Quinn will continue to exist in the game as a branch plot.
In addition to Harley Quinn, villains such as Penguin and Mr. Freeze will also appear in the game, and the Court of Owls will continue to appear in the main plot of this game.
After talking about the plot, let’s introduce the protagonists and villains this time:
Nightwing's real name is Dick Grayson, the original Robin. He was originally a circus acrobat who was adopted by Batman as an orphan after his parents were killed.
Robin's original name is Tim Drake, the third generation Robin is Red Robin, one of the important members of the Bat Family.
Batgirl's real name is Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon. She was inspired by Batman to embark on the road of fighting crime.
Red Hood's real name is Jason Todd. He was originally the second-generation Robin who called himself Red Hood because he was dissatisfied with Batman's practice of not killing the Joker, and betrayed Batman's principle of not killing the Joker.
Ra's al Ghul, who died with Batman in the opening CG, was the Ninja Master, the leader of the Assassin's League.
The death of Batman at the beginning of the plot is like a blow to the fans of Grandpa, and the revelation of the murderer also makes the plot lose some suspense. It is also regrettable that although there are four protagonists in the game, the main plot will not change due to switching roles. The character plot will only appear when the memory prompt appears in the clock tower. There is no such thing as giving him love 5's control of multiple protagonists and interleaved missions.
Map exploration
Compared with Arkham Knight, Gotham Knight has remade the Gotham City map. The map has changed from three islands connected in a ring to three islands connected from top to bottom. The three islands are Old Gotham at the bottom, New Gotham in the middle, and Gotham North at the top.
The biggest change is that Gotham City finally has daylight this time.
To be honest, the day-night cycle this time is relatively simple. Although the protagonist group will change into casual clothes during the day and change into a different appearance, they can only move around in the clock tower. Things such as making equipment and checking clues cannot be done at night. no
The way to change day and night is just to choose to go out on patrol at the exit. If you can help the butler Alfred purchase items as mentioned in the plot, it would be good to go out for a walk during the day.
In addition to the alternation of day and night, there are also many passers-by on the streets of Gotham City this time, and these passers-by add a little "life" to the dark Gotham City. At first, most citizens will be surprised by the appearance of the protagonist group, or they will mock the protagonist, "This kind of vigilante can't check for long." When the number of criminal activities solved continues to increase, the citizens will also make changes to the protagonist.
As an open-world RPG game, collectibles are naturally indispensable. Batarangs are hidden throughout Gotham City waiting for players to collect them. There are also many landmarks and graffiti art on the streets waiting to be scanned.
Finally, Bruce left a storage box. After arriving at the designated location, the player needs to collect all the markers within the specified time. After successful collection, the system will prompt the location of the storage box. Open it to get rewards such as experience and chips.
game vehicle
This time Gotham Knights provides players with a variety of ways to travel. For example, in the trailer, players saw flying wings being one of them.
Each of the four protagonists in the game has a unique way of traveling. The flying wing is exclusive to Nightwing, and the Red Hood has a way of traveling similar to multi-jumping in the air.
In terms of vehicles, the Batmobile has been replaced by the Batmobile. Compared with the latter's first appearance, the visual impact is still inferior.
The operation of the Batmobile is still relatively difficult, but fortunately the road is wide enough. As for the customization of the Batmobile, it means changing the color, and forget about adjusting the size of the wheel hub. Of course, if you are too lazy to run, you can also use fast movement to travel.

role experience
The biggest selling point of Gotham Knights is naturally the Bat-family, which consists of Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Red Hood. Each of these four protagonists has an exclusive skill tree. For example, in addition to Nightwing's fancy combos in combat, his skill names are more appropriate for his identity as an acrobat, while Red Hood's skills enhance his shooting and grabbing abilities.
Players can choose a more advantageous character to carry out tasks. For example, when infiltrating the police station at the beginning of the game, players can choose a more advantageous Robin to carry out tasks. When they go to Blackgate Prison to find Harley Quinn and obtain evidence about Batman, they can use the red head. Hood breaks into prison.
In the game, players can freely switch between four players to play the game, but the guidance in the early stages of the game was not done well.
After unlocking the clock tower base, players need to go to the left corner of the base to find the four-person suit before they can switch roles and play the game. There is no prompt when they first arrive at the base, and players need to get close to the suit before jumping out. Tutorial.
So much so that in the early stages of the game, the author always believed that it was impossible to switch characters, and that if you wanted to play other characters, you would have to open a new file and start over.
In order to protect the player's liver, the four protagonists in the game adopt a common level setting. The main character and the other three characters have the same level.
In the words of the producer, players always have one calling hero, but when players always want to experience the other three heroes, re-leveling and completing missions from the beginning will lead to a worse experience. This is the case with Marvel's Avengers. This change This reduces the unnecessary swiping sessions for players.
Compared with Arkham Knight, which requires purchasing DLC and other methods to unlock battle suits, this game is equipped with 15 sets of suits of different styles for players to choose from. In addition to the appearance of the suits, there are also numerical differences.
Mentioning numerical values naturally makes people think of brushing and brushing. Yes, there is a brushing and brushing link in this game.
When enemies are eliminated in the game, materials such as polymers, titanium, and tribute will be obtained. These materials can be used to make suits and weapons. Materials alone are not enough to make equipment. Players also need to obtain blueprints by knocking down enemies. It can't escape leveling, but it can't escape the equipment grinding. The numerical value of the armor is more like that of Marvel's Avengers.
Combat system
Let’s talk about the combat system. Compared with Arkham Knight, this game cancels the combo meter and adds a power skill meter. When players use normal attacks and long-range attacks, they will accumulate a power meter. Once the meter is full, they can use power skills. Power skills with piercing attributes can also allow enemies to break through their defenses.
In terms of operation, because there is no locking system in this game, the combat becomes extremely lame. After the third chapter of the game, an enemy named Talon will appear. You need to use heavy long-range attacks to knock it out before it can cause damage. However, when Talon falls to the ground and is injured again, it will immediately get up and perform continuous dodges.
Random attacks that cannot be locked can only make the claw sit up, and the combat experience branch is reduced. This problem also exists when releasing power skills.
I believe that most players have heard the phrase "The Riddler, get out of Gotham City", and there is also a puzzle-solving gameplay in the main plot of this game. In comparison, the puzzle-solving part of this game is a bit boring. It basically involves scanning around with a scanner, and then arriving at a specific location to solve the puzzle based on clues. Take the hidden room at the beginning of the game as an example. As long as you determine that you need to use a microwave to open the secret room, and then find the corresponding password from several different digits, you will successfully solve the puzzle.
