I have previously reviewed the twelve canonical works of the Assassin's Creed series, from the original Assassin's Creed to the latest Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. Today, let's review the derivative works of the Assassin's Creed series, there are also a lot of derivative works in this series, and there are more than a dozen works almost like the main sequel.
Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles was released on 5 February 2008 for NDS handheld and mobile devices such as Android and iOS.
The game was developed as a prequel to Assassin's Creed, and in addition to the three cities of Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus, two new cities were added to the game, Sur and Aleppo.
Because the game is sold on both handheld and mobile platforms, there are certain differences between the two platform versions, and the NDS version of the game screen resolution is poor, but the model of the characters in the game is beautiful, and there are more key operation instructions in the game, which is relatively difficult for players to get started. The mobile version of the game screen has a high resolution, and the character dialogue voice has also been added, and the picture clarity is extremely high, which is very conscientious. But the modeling in the game is very rough, and the protagonist and the minions are a little out of shape, especially because the clarity has become higher, but the model has not changed, so it looks very inconsistent. In addition, the difficulty of the mobile version is very low, castrating the difficulty of stealing and hijacking, simplifying the compatible speed of combos, increasing the gaps in the game mechanism, and even castrating the stiffness and long-distance run-up after running. The game content has been greatly simplified.
Assassin's Creed: Bloodline was released in 2009 for PSP and PSV consoles.
The timeline of the Assassin's Creed: Bloodline story is set between Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2, and the game is set in Cyprus, where Altaïr challenges the Templars once again after obtaining the Fruit of Eden and learning of the existence of other treasures.
Due to the limited function of the handheld, the game's picture performance is not as good as on the console platform, and the picture shrinkage is still relatively serious, but the performance of the picture is still good for the handheld, especially in the metal reflection. In addition, the difficulty of the game is not high.,There's also a very rich boss battle.,Overall, it's a good work.。
ASSASSIN'S CREED II: DISCOVERY WAS RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 2, 2010 FOR NDS HANDHELD AND IOS MOBILE.
The story of the game is set 15 years after the story of Assassin's Creed 2, where our protagonist Ezio travels to 15th-century Spain to free the Assassins who followed him who were imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition.
Whether it's in the NDS version or the IOS version, the game's graphics quality is better than that of Assassin's Creed on the PSP handheld, and the character animations in the game and the 2D game mode have been well received by the media and players, but the game's lackluster missions, rough level design and cumbersome controls have also been complained about by players, but overall it is a good work.
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation was released on October 30, 2012 on PS3, Xbox360, PC, and PSV.
Set in New Orleans, the game has the same timeline as Assassin's Creed 3, focusing on the French and Indian War from 1765 to 1780.
The graphics of this game are very stunning, almost recreating 17th-century New Orleans. In addition, the game also uses a female assassin as the protagonist for the first time, which is also a highlight of this game. However, the game's too short process and mediocre game plot, as well as the harsh counterattack judgment and unsatisfactory combat operation feel, also made many fans of the series very unpopular with this work.
Assassin's Creed: Pirate Voyage, also known as Assassin's Creed: Pirate Legends, was released on December 5, 2013 on WP, IOS, Android and other mobile terminals, and is a strategy game with action elements.
This is a brand new entry for the Assassin's Creed series released on mobile platforms, as the game has been changed to a strategy game, which is also a new challenge! The goal of the game is to become the most feared pirate in the Caribbean! In the game, players take on the role of the confident captain "Alonzo Batilia" on a quest to discover the treasures of the Caribbean Gulf and prove his mettle. In the game, players only need to manage the crew and upgrade the ship to ensure that they survive all kinds of difficult sea encounters.
This is a standalone work, the gameplay of the game is simple and varied, using turn-based offensive and defensive naval battles, and players are more comfortable with the operation. In the game, players can control the movement of the ship by accelerating, decelerating, and turning the rudder; In a naval battle, in addition to bomb throwing or dodging actions, you can also use spider bullets to interrupt the enemy's attack; After the player wins, he can also collect bounties or get new ships.
Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry was released on February 18, 2014 on PS3, Xbox 360, WiiU, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and other platforms.
The game was originally developed as a DLC for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, but was later released as a standalone game. The game follows Adéwale, a slave-born man who discovers his freedom after boarding the Jackdaw and becoming a pirate. Fifteen years later, Adéwalé was a trained Assassin, but was shipwrecked in Santo Domingo with no members of the army or weapons. He must acquire a ship and assemble his own team to save a group of slaves and seek revenge on them.
Although the game only has a short 5-hour storyline and a total of 9 missions, this condensed version of Assassin's Creed is indeed very well-made, and the game brings players to areas that have rarely been set foot before, and aside from the entanglement between the Assassins and the Templars, the plot of this work shows a unique charm, and Adéwale's story can be said to touch the player from the bottom of his heart.
