Lagrange Point
The first time I saw the name of this game, I definitely didn't understand it.
What ghost name? Is this really a game name? Not at all smooth, huh?
These few words are all recognized, and when combined, they cannot be understood at all!
In fact, this is a scientific term!!!
What is Lagrange Point?
When two massive objects orbit each other, there are five gravitational equilibrium positions around these objects, and it is at these points of gravitational optimality called Lagrange points.
At this point, smaller objects can be balanced, which can be simply understood as small objects in a "hover" state.
Knowing this knowledge point, is it suddenly felt that this game is "tall", very sci-fi feeling, there is no.
Lagrange Point is an RPG game produced by KONAMI in 1991 on FC.
It was the twilight of FC, and the development technology was very mature, so the overall graphics and sound performance of the game were very good.
The point is that this game has a sophisticated system setup and has been rated by many players as the flagship masterpiece of the end of FC.
Since it is a famous masterpiece, why is it not popular in China?
sinicization!!
"The game suffers from the fact that its text is all in Japanese kana form, and there has been no Chinese version, making it difficult for domestic players to appreciate the style of this game."
This is a generally accepted evaluation from the Internet.
Later, the random network was popularized, the simulator developed, and the Chinese version was naturally born under the hands of some game enthusiasts.
The emergence of the Chinese version has attracted the attention of more domestic players.
As a result, more and more people who have played this game have compared it with another masterpiece, "Heavy Machine Soldier", and its quality can be seen.
The opening animation, like a science fiction movie, looks like a masterpiece...
The story content is also very sci-fi, the game needs to travel through various space stations, and there is a "broken" Earth 1, Earth 2 back and forth.
A special setting in the game: the way to move outdoors, you must use vehicles to travel, such as cars, airplanes, etc., a bit like FC Alien Warrior 3 (MD Dream Star) feeling.
The difference is that the vehicle has no combat effectiveness, only a means of transportation, and different carriers have different terrain restrictions.
Cars can only move along the road;
Tanks can move on the ground, but not through forested desert mountains... ；
Aircraft can move at low altitudes and can cross some obstacles, except for mountains ... ；
Boats can move in some waters;
Some space stations, towns, mazes will also have small moving tools such as space capsules...
As the game progresses, the vehicles unlock sequentially, which is how the game limits area exploration.
The game is very meticulous, such as out of the space station outside the activities, need to wear a space suit, the operation has become a way to drift in the direction of the keys, the details are very thoughtful.
The game's combat system is a regular four-player turn-based system.
More special is a "BP" value in the character, this value is typed in "endurance", the character, whether it is a normal attack, or a skill attack, will consume BP value, when the BP value is zero, even the attack on the enemy is ineffective.
The BP value, translated in the game, is equivalent to the weapon energy slot, and the weapon cannot be used without energy.
Therefore, the BP value in the game is more important than the HP. Even later in the game, the designer will put a lot of enemies (monsters) that will use skills to reduce the BP of the player character, making the game more difficult on the one hand, and disgusting and disgusting players on the other hand.
Another very interesting setting is that in battle, the player character, received the enemy's fatal damage, HP will not immediately clear zero, no matter how much damage, HP will remain 1 point, then the character is in a "coma" state, can not move, but did not die,
If, at this time, using the recovery potion or recovery skill, the character will "wake up" and can continue to fight; if at this time, let the enemy "touch" it, then the character will truly "die" and need to return to the town to be revived.
This one setting can alleviate the situation of combat attrition to a certain extent.
The other is the game's "Money" slot points, which are not earned in battle, but record what monsters you killed in battle, how many, and then collect them at the "computer save point" in the town.
This point is very excessive, want to brush money to buy equipment, if you lack hundreds of pieces, to the map to kill for a while, but you do not know how much difference, there is enough money ...
Then there's the game's controllable characters.
There are about ten controllable characters, but up to four people are teamed up, and the types of roles are divided into three categories: human, modified human, and robot.
Different types will reflect the advantages and disadvantages in attributes, such as the most average human attributes, the transformation of human attack and defense is high, robot auxiliary skills are many and strong...
Characters all carry an "emotional system" where different emotions can have an impact on the outcome of the battle.
It is generally divided into three states: normal, panicked, and burning
In the "Burning" state, the character's critical strike chance, defense, and recovery value are increased to a certain extent.
In the "panic" state, the character is most likely out of command control and cannot use skills and kills.
generally.
The game system setting is very "big", but there is also a little "virtual", some players say that it copied a little east and west, but it was not practical enough.
The degree of freedom of the game is not high, the rate of encountering enemies is high, the battle is difficult, and the action route is too single.
The game's plot is medium-range, that is, a story of how the "several generals with great powers" set off a rebellion for one reason or another, wanting to launch a biological crisis that affects the fate of all mankind, and how the investigation team led by the protagonist discovered the problem step by step and prevented the crisis from happening.
The game's picture quality, music effect is the best in FC, many players are shocked by the game opening place.
For the Japanese RPG of the FC era, "Lagrange Point" is indeed a masterpiece, but it is still a little bit worse than the god work.
Summary: It's worth playing, but it's more grinding and not too easy.
