Darkrise Storm Knight

Well, because I have free time and I haven’t played any games on my phone for a long time, today I will introduce to you a game that I find very good, which is Darkrise. This is a very eye-catching RPG hack and slash game. The game’s graphics bias is pixelated, so the game doesn’t eat up too much of your computer’s capacity. Now it’s time to play!

When I first entered the game

As you can see above, that is the Main Menu screen of Darkrise. However, this is when you have chosen one of the game’s 4 characters, including:

• Mage: super strong in dealing large area damage and controlling enemies (hypnosis type). A strong magician will not give the enemy any chance to approach, however magicians are extremely vulnerable to long-range attacks (Lux for real). If you want to play magic, this is a great choice.

• Warrior: brave warriors will not need many allies to support, because they can be 1 kg 5 without losing anything (Tryndamere is dat u?) . They can deal a large amount of damage over a wide area, “refuse death” when having to weigh many enemies at the same time and “end of the world ragnarok” (?) to avoid control. Their only weakness is their short arms (average top-laner). You will feel overwhelming power when playing Warrior, so this will be a reasonable choice for those who like to hack and slash.

• Archer: archers are famous for soloing with huge amounts of damage without having to call down the jungler to help (just kidding, this isn’t League) and most shots can’t be dodged. The weakness of archers is that they can only attack one target, so try not to get surrounded. For those who like long-range attacks or just need 1-hit to kill the enemy, this is not a bad choice.

• Rogue: is the class I like to play the most, assassins are very mobile and flexible in battles, great at both hand-to-hand combat and also very good at long-range poking. Assassins possess abilities that cause bleeding and poison enemies over time. While appearing to be very vip pro in dealing damage, assassins always have a fatal weakness which is their defense ability which is only as thin as a piece of paper. In return, mobility and high movement speed are the keys to helping assassins survive well in battles and easily overcome enemies.

Gameplay

Darkrise is an RPG game, so most of your playing time will be spent digging for items to upgrade your character’s power. At first the game will be quite boring when there are not many monsters appearing, you will only be able to do a few simple things such as farming monsters or doing quests to find items, as the monsters will appear more and more and the level will increase. The difficulty will increase, corresponding to the drop rate of good items will increase quite a lot, sometimes so much that you will find it quite useless. By the way, when talking about equipment, there are a total of 5 levels: gray, green, blue, purple, orange (ranked from weak to strong) and additional equipment with raised borders are the equipment of the highest quality. special-unique. I only say color because it’s easier to recognize than reading the name (why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?) and has the following equipment: gloves, shoes, armor, helmet, pants armor, shoulder armor, weapons specific to different classes (swords, shields, bows, wands, knives) and accompanying auxiliary items such as necklaces and stuff… Talking about the number of pages The game device is not called that As many as PC games, probably only a few hundred. Regarding your Inventory, there will be a total of 48 slots to store items and divided into 2 pages (hope I’m not undercounting). You can also sell or throw away items to clear the slot or to earn money and diamonds.

This will be our Inventory, including equipment and storage spaces.

That’s enough to briefly talk about the equipment, next will be the combat+skill mechanism of the game. The game will have 3 main buttons:

• Jump button
• 2 buttons move left/right
• Roll button (used to dodge like dark souls)

The jump button and 2 movement buttons can be replaced with a joystick for those who want. In addition, there are 5 skill buttons including the normal attack button. I don’t know why, but the game developers let normal attack be a skill button, but thanks to that, you can customize the position of the buttons to make them most familiar. When you first start playing, you will only have one skill, which is normal fighting. Later, when you fight monsters to earn exp to level up, you will unlock skills in parallel with that process. On the main playing screen, there will only be 5 skill buttons, but actually each class has 9 different skills and you can only use 5 of those 9 skills to bring into battle. Oh, and there’s also a small button to store healing potions. Initially, there won’t be this button. You can go into the game to learn how to add this button. Regarding monsters, most monsters are usually quite weak against players, but of course that is when they are alone, but once it becomes a family game, of course you will encounter many difficulties. And you also have to be careful about your level, if you are about 10 levels lower than the enemy, it will have enough strength to crush you like a child or punch you to death. The types of monsters in the game are not too common, there will usually be monsters like skeletons, robbers, warriors, bats – no, bats, plus wolves and then another. A bunch of different kinds of things that I don’t know what to call them. As the years go by, the monsters will get more and more strange, but they’re still familiar faces in fantasy games or movies. The game will also have boss relatives, mini bosses of all kinds, most of which will be very difficult to defeat when first encountered and will only need to give you a few hits to send you back to the checkpoint. But in the end, the strongest person is still the player, take the time to try and upgrade a little bit to upgrade their strength so that they are ok. There are the following types of bosses and mini-bosses: skeletons that play magic, large slimes, warriors, some guys who are similar to players but are still machines, some flying squids from the world of haiten, a monster. Something that looks like a demon and spits fire is so painful, and there are dozens of different types of ostriches that I haven’t seen yet, I haven’t even played this game myself.

Regarding the in-game currency system…it’s quite easy to get. Slaying monsters and selling items are your two main sources of income. In the game, there is money and diamonds that can be used to do all kinds of things such as enchanting items, repairing items, upgrading weapons and armor, pairing gems for armor. or weapons with effects. The game also has its own NPCs to do those jobs such as traders, blacksmiths, shop owners, jade assemblers, etc. Please come to the game to have the best experience. There is one point that I feel is quite annoying about the system of making and spending money, which is that making money is easy but when it comes time to spend it, it is not much. For example, once you go to the map and kill monsters to make money, you can earn up to a few hundred thousand gold, but when you spend it, it only costs less than 1 thousand. Let me give an example, when you die, you will not lose your items like some blocky game, you will only have the durability of your armor damaged, but the cost to repair an ENTIRE set of items is only 500 gold, While one session of sweeping your map can help you earn 500 to 600 thousand gold, it seems like it’s nothing. I hope the developer sets the price a little higher to have motivation to make money. Oh, there’s also the selling of equipment, the price of equipment depends on the level and whether it’s a special item or not. Let’s leave that aside for now, sell the pile of items that drop from Hell is enough to help you live your whole life without worrying about spending (I wish I could do that in real life too TT). Another thing that also makes me question the developer is farming monsters to get items. The high-level equipment in this game… is quite easy to get (when you level from average or higher in the game you will see more purple and orange items dropping). It makes the process of diligently earning items from farming monsters significantly reduced because good items drop more than expected. Mah, I still haven’t explored the whole game so this is just a small part, but the rest everything is great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ everything is still good enough.

Now comes the skill upgrade tree. How should I say it, I’m quite impressed with the skill tree in the game. Even though it’s just a mobile game, the author took great care of the skill tree. There are many branches that you can choose to upgrade, and it is not limited to being able to upgrade all types of branches that you like, as long as you have enough points. You can earn points to upgrade skills through leveling up, every time you level up, you will immediately have 1 point to upgrade skills. Speaking of upgrading internal skills, you can also upgrade your active skills (which are the skills you use to fight) when you pick up some books.

You can also do some other side things that are quite interesting and worth taking the time to try: you can look for materials such as minerals, leather, plants, and energy to make some things. Items such as weapons, armor, food, gems to buff weapons, or smelting items can also find ingredients to craft. This type of chore is quite fun and easy to make us pay more attention to the game. This is also one of the interesting mechanisms that you can try. Good job Roika!

Now comes the game’s map. Up to now, I think the game’s map can be considered medium sized, not too big. Because the game is still in beta, the map hasn’t been updated yet and there are still many vacant areas. The developer has drawn a huge map, so big that the phone screen cannot fit it all, but there are still areas that cannot be played simply because the developer has not included the map. go there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is an example of a map that is not fully developed

As you can see above, the Orion Kingdom region is an extremely empty area. Although the developer has named a number of locations on that frozen continent, Orion Kingdom can only be played in one section. small bordering the remaining green land. There are quite a few areas that have potential such as the Acid Lands island area which has a main color tone similar to a decadent era and I find it quite cool and has a lot of potential to become a super difficult and boss-filled area. In short, the playable map is still quite large, and the game can still expand to many other areas, depending on the speed of development. You should wait, everyone(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ , the game is fun anyway ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ).

Plot

Well, what do you expect from a mobile game, a complete storyline and on par with AAA games? Well….nothing like that. Right after choosing the character, you will be shown a short image (?), I don’t know if I should call it cutscene or not because it is simply images accompanied by text. In short, the game’s plot will be as follows: “You are a civilian who has spent most of your life taking care of your family and living a leisurely life on your home island. But for one day eclipse, you have to go out to sea to find food and are attacked by a group of strangers, you don’t know who they are, you’re not even sure if they are human or not. And then after the attack, you were lucky to survive and drift to a deserted island, your journey back to your hometown begins from here. The plot is just that simple, but it’s still worth playing!

Grab the dress

This is a game that should be played, worth experiencing, it doesn’t cost you any money, the gameplay is fun and not bad, the music and sound are okay, will change when you are in a peaceful area or when You are in combat, the punching mechanism is at an ok level, separate characters with interesting skills, the map is wide and it is well worth spending the time to plow. However, because the game is free, when you fail, you will still receive ads as usual.

7.75/10

Peace and love!
