How to play Poems of Phia? This is a two-dimensional RPG game launched by NetEase. It is similar to the gameplay of Harry Potter. You can develop and manage freely in the academy. The core gameplay is strategic development. How to play it specifically? What are its characteristics? Let’s introduce how to get started with Feiya’s Poem.
"The Poem of Feiya" is a business simulation game that combines strategy and development.
In order to cooperate with the spread of simulated management and development gameplay, "The Poem of Phia" did not choose to "enter the campus" from the first perspective like "Harry Potter: Magic Awakening", but chose a God's perspective attitude. In the game, players need to play the role of the dean of a magic academy and build their own academy from scratch.
Of course, the academy in "The Poem of Phia" is not an ordinary academy, but an out-and-out magic academy. In the world view of the game, a mysterious force called "イクリプス" is rampant in the world. People cannot erase it from the world, but they can purify it. Therefore, in order to fight against this force, various places have built A magic academy that teaches purification spells and teaches adventurers the art of evolution.
Although the game does not allow players to assume the role of a "student", many campus elements are still added to the game. As a "principal", players can still feel the full college atmosphere.
For example, the game chooses green, blue and white as the main colors, and also adds elements such as sky islands and magic, plus multiple European medieval-style buildings, which is consistent with many popular TV series or "magic"-related The elements appearing in film and television works are basically consistent, and it is easy for players to think of adventures in other worlds, further exaggerating the experience of college adventure in this magical other world.
The combination of two-dimensional + college simulation management and training is actually very clever. Just the background of campus training in a different world makes people feel very two-dimensional.
When it comes to this, we have to mention Japan, the birthplace of the second dimension. Although high schools in Japan are not included in compulsory education, the high school enrollment rate in Japan reaches an astonishing 97%. In other words, if you create with high school life as the background, the content produced can basically resonate with all Japanese people.
Therefore, it can be seen that many animations, novels, games, and film and television works are created with high school campuses as the background. In the field of animation, there are even subcategories such as "campus animation", and in the field of games, there are also such works as "Persona" "Record" series (console, PC), "Sakura Campus Simulator" (mobile) and other popular works.
With the gradual development and emergence of the second dimension, the second dimension and the background of high school campuses have become inextricably linked.
From this perspective, the combination of two-dimensional + academy is actually a good entry point, and it also achieves logical self-consistency in terms of subject matter. It can be said that "The Poem of Feiya" is a product for core two-dimensional players, which also explains why Japan, with the largest concentration of core two-dimensional players, became the market for this test.
The gameplay setting of "Poem of Feia" is somewhat similar to "Ice Steam Age". All city construction content of the player revolves around the "core crystal". The auxiliary buildings need to be connected to the main city before they can be built. With the level of the crystal, As the level increases, players can unlock buildings with various functions to train students, such as libraries, training grounds, classrooms, etc.
Different from general business simulations or SLG, in this process, players can not only observe every move of each student from a God's perspective, but also go deep into different scenes to view their training or learning status. Although in these scenes, players It’s still viewed from a God’s perspective, but it also enhances the sense of immersion to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that in terms of urban construction, "The Poem of Feia" seems to have introduced some UGC content. As long as the conditions are met, players can freely choose the placement of various facilities.
Judging from the content of the business gameplay alone, "The Poem of Feia" has almost collected most of the 4X elements, but at the combat level, the game has changed its style and is not designed in the direction of a "grand strategy game" , but incorporates TeanRPG gameplay that is easier for players to understand.
Specifically, when the player's plot reaches a certain level, the player can go to places outside the town, and "erosion flowers" will appear in these areas that can be explored at will, and the player can choose to fight the monsters in them. These flowers can be purified.
In short, these flowers are like dungeons. Players can lead students to challenge some flowers directly, others require the player core to reach a certain level before they can challenge them, and some even require teaming up with other players to fight together.
In combat, the entire process is basically carried out in a fully automatic manner. The student selected by the player will automatically find enemies on the map to fight. During this, the player can control the character to release skills on the enemy.
Looking at the entire 2D category, 2D games like this that focus on city construction and simulated business gameplay seem to be very rare, and "The Poem of Feiya" not only matches the two-dimensional attributes in terms of subject matter, but also does not go towards the current situation in terms of gameplay. SLG in the broadest sense in mobile games is closer, but is presented through Team RPG. This combination also produces a very subtle chemical reaction, and the whole game is eye-catching.
