“Holy Spirit is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was recently launched on the Tiangong game platform. It’s a game that you can’t believe is still in the closed beta stage.”
“Let’s start with the game graphics. Holy Spirit has the most stunning graphics of all the VR online games I’ve experienced so far. Look at the rhythm of the hair. I think only a madman could present such details, but Holy Spirit succeeded. The details of this game are constantly telling players that this is a real world, but some amazing light and shadow effects remind us that we are in a game.”
“The second is the game’s combat system. In terms of combat system, I think Dissidia has already brought VR online games’ combat gameplay to its limit, but Holy Spirit has given me another possibility. This game has found a perfect balance between the gameplay and realism of the combat system. If you are a sword-wielding player, when dealing with a player who is also swinging a sword at you, you can choose to block, deflect, dodge and many other options.”
"All the methods you can think of to deal with sword-wielding enemies in real life can be used here. If a fighting master comes to experience this game, I'm afraid it won't take long for him to become addicted to it. Of course, I mean to abuse those new players."
"But it's not difficult for normal players to master the battles and rhythm in Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit's unique combat assistance system allows even an office worker who sits in the office for a long time to experience the pleasure of becoming a great swordsman, sharpshooter, or great magician. Look at my sword-swinging movements. Can you keep up with my speed?"
While watching the review video, Jiang Qiao put several pieces of roasted pork belly into Hai Lan's bowl.
QGN is a foreign evaluation organization, so Jiang Qiao is listening to English now. However, QGN China’s official account comes with subtitles, and Jiang Qiao’s foreign language level is pretty good.
At this stage, the testing qualification of "Holy Spirit" is only for domestic players, but it is normal for such a large evaluation organization to have editors who specifically stay on site to draw accounts.
"The next part is about the plot and character creation of Holy Spirit. Game plot and character creation have always been less emphasized in online games, but Holy Spirit, as a game in the closed beta stage, did not cut corners in this regard. There are even so many dialogues with each NPC that you can chat with him like a real person. This is something I have never seen in other games."
The editor of QGN Review mentioned this and also released a video of him having a long conversation with a blacksmith who sells equipment in Lionheart City.
The topics of their conversation ranged from this morning's weather to the changes in prices in Lionheart City, and then to why the black dragon princess in the black dragon's lair was so irritable.
Well, the blacksmith who sells equipment is a Dark Iron Dwarf.
After chatting for five or six minutes, he actually successfully received a hidden mission related to the black dragon's lair.
"From the above conversation, we can see that he can answer most of the questions you ask in the NPC dialogues, provided that they are related to the NPC's background. If the NPCs do not give some repeated answers, then players may really think that this is a role played by the game staff. Are you played by the staff? Dwarf Blacksmith Frey?"
"Speaking of NPCs, we have to introduce the most popular NPC in "Holy Spirit", the Soul Keeper Freya."
"Topics about the Soul Keeper Freya have flooded various game forums. Yes, when you play Holy Spirit, you can get a character that is between a girlfriend and a wife. Freya has the most preset dialogues among all Holy Spirit NPCs. You can even chat with her about topics in the real world, 'Oh! Freya, do you think I will get a raise after completing this review?'"
The video shows the editor communicating with his Freya in English. His Freya tilted her head slightly and answered decisively with a 'NO'.
"The game Holy Spirit has many surprises. I can unreservedly praise it as one of the best online games of this century, but there are some shortcomings in its excellence. The most direct feeling I have during my gaming experience is that some of the life and occupation systems are too useless. To be more precise, the life and occupation systems related to manufacturing are too useless. The best equipment and props in the game need to be obtained from dungeons..."
"Although the game map has rich exploration elements, it is not very large. As long as you get a fast flying mount, you can quickly ride from one side of the game map to the other..."
"To sum up, this is still a closed beta game. At this stage, the qualification to play Holy Spirit is very precious, the number of players is less than 10,000, and it is only open to Chinese players. This is really sad! However, we are still looking forward to the future growth of this game. In the end, we gave it a score of 9.5."
"It's not full marks." Hai Lan asked after swallowing the pork belly in her mouth.
"This is already a full score. A difference of 0.5 points is equivalent to randomly deducting one or two points when you write an essay." Jiang Qiao said.
"composition?"
Jiang Qiao didn't continue explaining to Hai Lan. He continued stuffing a few pieces of pork belly into her mouth and began to think about the next update plan of the Holy Spirit.
The first is the increase in the level cap. Hai Lan has collected a piece of divine fragment, and Jiang Qiao can increase the level cap of all players to level 55.
The new level cap will inevitably open up new maps. The size of Jiangqiao Holy Spirit's map is still only 234 square kilometers. Taking into account the three plane fragments that Jiangqiao currently controls, the total area can reach 300 square kilometers.
"I still have to go to a new dimension to do things." Jiang Qiao fell into deep thought when he thought of this.
The main map of the Holy Spirit will always be just a novice village for players, a novice village used to level up, get used to the Holy Spirit system, and rest.
Jiangqiao trains players not to let them fight and play in the Novice Village, but to resist enemies from other worlds, or... to cause trouble in other worlds.
"In addition to this, there is also the structure of the other world." Jiang Qiao thought of this and picked up Hai Lan's lunch box, which still retained the attributes of the manor.
After assimilating the small plane invaded by the Annihilation Legion and Queen May's plane, Hai Lan obtained 40,000 points of creation energy. This brings the total creation energy stored by Jiang Qiao to 65,000 points.
Very little. These creation energies are only enough for Jiang Qiao to build an inner world the size of Jiangcheng Food Street.
The inner world can gradually expand along with the fragments of other worlds conquered by players. Jiang Qiao is not in a hurry about this. What Jiang Qiao feels is the tricky part is where the players’ resources come from in the construction gameplay of the inner world
Building a house always requires things like stones and minerals. If all of them are transported from the world of the Holy Spirit, it will be a considerable expense for the energy of creation.
Moreover, players need to use mining drafts to dig stones in the Holy Spirit and move them to the other world... This is too troublesome.
"Jiang Qiao, a powerful guy has come to the Trial Tower plane." Hai Lan suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and said to Jiang Qiao.
"A powerful guy? Isn't it such a coincidence?"
When Jiang Qiao heard Hai Lan's words, he felt as if at the end of the main quest, a passerby with an exclamation mark on his head came out and forced the next main quest on him.
"The server is undergoing maintenance right now, so I'll go ask the tower spirit of the Trial Tower if there are any rewards."
