Help the black soldier to rescue him, and learn through conversation that he is from the United States and has joined the Allied Powers camp.
The content of this section of the station is quite cheerful.
Especially the way the soldiers swayed to the music of the band made Liuliu laugh hard.
But the humor and joy are short-lived, as the game is set against the backdrop of World War I.
As the narrator introduces, Emil's regiment was dispatched to fight the German 71st Division led by Byron Vondorf.
Everyone's sense of novelty was immediately dissipated by the fear of the first battle.
On the battlefield, the emir served as the flag bearer, and with the commander's order, the soldiers began to charge.
The operation mode of this section is a bit similar to the barrage avoidance gameplay in "Under Legend".
The entire game is a 2D scroll, and players need to control the front and back to avoid the cannonballs falling in the sky.
Cannonballs like dumplings hit Emil and the others from the air, but they had no choice but to charge.
The commander who rushed to the front was killed on the spot, and the emir, who was the flag bearer, took his place.
But facing the German machine guns and artillery shells, this was a desperate charge, and the fighting was tragic.
Before the attack, the sky was still blue and sunny.
But now there are dark clouds, and the ground is full of French corpses.
The sound of guns and gunfire, as well as the BGM that turned from majestic to tragic, made Liuliu feel the tragic atmosphere of war even though the game was just a cartoon-style 2D scroll.
In the game, as Emil charged, a bullet hit him mercilessly.
Amidst the heavy rain and desolate BGM, the next moment the scene shifted to the German army.
One of the blond soldiers stood out, that was Karl.
"So Emil was drafted by France, and Karl was drafted by Germany after being deported. This family must be loyal to their respective countries and fight on the battlefield?"
"And is Emil dead?"
Liuliu reacted instantly when he saw this.
Could it be that the plot of "Braveheart: War of the Worlds" is arranged like this
The plot of relatives killing each other, through the intertwining of national stance and family affection, ultimately reflects the cruelty of war
It feels very possible, but if this is really the case, it would be a bit bloody, right
Liuliu thought in his heart, but did not say anything. Instead, he simply described the current situation to the audience in the live broadcast room.
After experiencing the two games "Undertale" and "To the Moon", she believed that this game would not be what she thought.
And the game has only started for about ten minutes.
[Sister Marie Selonshaw, Private Emile Selon of the 150th Infantry Regiment, was wounded by fire on August 21 and captured by the enemy]
[I hope we can get news from him soon]
In the sad orchestral BGM, the narration sounded.
The scene came to Emir's farm, and Emir's daughter burst into tears looking at the letter in her hand.
But seeing this made Liuliu and the audience in the live broadcast room breathe a sigh of relief.
He was captured but not dead, which is good news.
And just as Liuliu was guessing about the next plot, whether Emil would escape from the German army with Karl, or whether Karl would help Emil escape.
However, the screen shot came to another character, that is, the black soldier who was helped by Emil at the station.
[American soldier Freddy volunteered to join the Allied forces at the beginning of the war]
[Behind his brave appearance, there is a heart that has been deeply affected and destroyed by the war]
[He has only one belief: to punish those who destroyed him]
[It was not until the Battle of the Marne that Freddy finally found traces of the regiment led by Byron Vondorf]
Listening to the narration and looking at the interspersed cartoon pages, Liuliu almost understood the background of this character.
Both Karl and Emil were forced to enlist.
As an American, Freddy came to Europe to join the Allied forces, obviously not for the so-called justice.
He was an avenger. It was probably the German army, especially the army led by Byron Vondorf, who killed his wife.
Thinking of the photo that appeared in the character introduction just now, Liuliu speculated in his heart.
But she didn't know whether it was like this or not.
After all, the feeling this game brings to her so far can only be said to be very special.
Few, or almost no, lines.
The serious narration gave her the feeling of watching a documentary.
At the same time, the game is filled with a lot of humor that makes people smile, but it has not yet waited for the players to laugh happily.
Under the cartoon-like graffiti art style, the cruel war is immediately displayed in front of the players.
This makes the previous humor full of irony.
In addition, the gameplay of the game is different from the previous gameplay where Emil was a bit like dodging barrages.
After becoming Freddy, I was exposed to the gameplay of decryption and stealth.
Just like the introduction of the game, "Braveheart: World War" is a puzzle game.
Previous Emirs didn't show much of this.
But as for Freddy, he needs to use various game mechanisms to sneak into the enemy's hinterland.
For example, in the current level, after a little research, Liuliu quickly found the knock on the door.
First use a grenade to blow down the ladder, then set the interval between machine gunners' shots and climb the ladder to reach the destination.
Then he used stones and other props to make strange noises to attract the enemy's attention, and then he took the opportunity to get down from the ladder and beat the enemy over with fists as big as sandbags.
Obviously, it is the same as the previous "Escape" of Nebula Games. Although this is a World War I-themed game, at least so far, players do not have guns.
The only thing that can be done is to beat the world with a pair of old fists, and by the way, you can also use a vise to cut the barbed wire.
Maybe it was the beginning of the game. The level was not very difficult to decipher. Liuliu understood what to do after just a quick look.
But she also noticed one thing.
That is, although the graphic style of the entire game looks like cartoon graffiti and is very humorous, it does not make sense from the plot and story.
But it is full of irony, such as the train station needs to bribe the officer with beer.
There is also Freddy's level. The German soldiers in front are fighting, but Byron von Dorff, as an officer, is tasting red wine in the room. When the Allied troops break through the defense line and come over, he chooses to take a ride immediately. The airship escapes.
After completing Freddy's level, watching him angrily tear the German flag in half, the game screen fell into darkness as before.
At the same time, the narration introduction and the background of the comic appear.
[Due to the reinforcement of the British army, the German army's plan failed, the front line moved north and the cold winter ushered in]
[Karl’s team retreated to the outskirts of Neuve Chapelle, where the Emil was imprisoned]
"Hey, so Emil and Karl can meet?"
Looking at this background introduction, Liuliu whispered to himself.
The next moment the game screen appears, at this time the character controlled by the player returns to Emil's side.
Different from the military uniform he wore before, this time Emil was wearing a simple kitchen apron, his feet were connected by shackles, and he was holding a large iron spoon in his hand. He seemed to have become a German army cook.
Here, in addition to Byron Vondorf, Liuliu also saw a relatively familiar character, that is, the German search and rescue dog from the previous game introduction and the UI interface before entering the game.
After pouring some water for the dog, Emil arrived at the warehouse and prepared to cook. At this time, Karl also took the opportunity to run over to see Emil.
The two people who met were very happy, and Karl asked him about the emir's wife.
Emil handed Karl a letter and photos sent to him by his daughter.
But before the two of them could say anything more, the soldiers waiting to eat outside began to urge them, so Karl and Emil had no choice but to separate quickly.
But when Emil came outside pushing the big pot of rice that had been prepared.
British artillery fire has arrived.
During the British bombing, Emil was buried by collapsed rocks.
The screen fell into darkness and silence, making Liuliu and the audience in front of the computer feel worried for Emil.
