Views:

The next day, Chen Xu came to the company at 7:30 in the morning, but surprisingly, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue arrived early.

Seeing Chen Xu pushing the door open, the two people rushed to Chen Xu with excited faces.

"It's exploded, it's exploded! Mr. Chen's reputation has exploded!" Yang Xin touched the laptop in his hand with excitement on his face.

On the screen, the ratings from the official app store are displayed.

9.9 points, an incredibly high score.

And not only that, two media outlets already gave game reviews of "Undertale" on the second day after it was launched.

The most shocking thing is that the ratings given by these two media are all out of 10!

Even a review website called Game Time and Space even took it to the sky.

In the review, the other party did not spoil the content, but just sold it off with a Riddler-like feeling throughout.

However, many exaggerated descriptions are cited in the review articles.

For example, after completing "Undertale", the editor was silent for a long time.

This is a game that breaks the constraints of traditional RPGs.

Subverting players' understanding of RPG games, it turns out that a game can be so shocking.

Although it is a low-cost independent game, it brings a more shocking experience than 3A masterpieces.

The same evaluation also appeared in the comment area of "Under Legend".

It's filled with a lot of confusing comments.

For example, it's an incredible RPG game that had chills running down my spine until the end! ''Crush your kindness, and mine! ''This fills you with determination! '

"The sales volume is not bad, but we have to let it ferment for the time being." After taking the computer and looking at the sales volume in the background, Chen Xu also smiled.

2,749 copies is not a high figure.

It's also normal, even though there was a hype with Zhong Media before.

But in fact, it just lets more players know the name of the game "Under Legend".

For many players, Nebula Games and Chen Xu are very unfamiliar.

The only thing that works is a gentleman's game.

Moreover, Chen Xu set the price of "Under the Legend" at 36 yuan, the same as in his previous life.

As an independent game, it is not expensive, and the social economy of the parallel world is much higher than that of the previous life. Otherwise, the game industry would not be so prosperous.

From 19:00 to 23:00, this is considered a prime time period.

The evaluation of the game time and space itself has made the game more popular. At the same time, this time period is also a period of free time for players, which can be used to experience the game.

Before 19 o'clock, the sales data of "Under Legend" increased by about 500 per hour.

But after 19 o'clock, this number more than doubled, reaching around 1,200.

At the same time, the total sales volume also successfully exceeded 14,000 copies.

And the reviews of the game have gradually begun to increase.

You know, it has only been a day and a half since "Undertale" was officially launched on the game platform.

In the private room of the hot pot restaurant where we had dinner before, Yang Xin, who was celebrating in the evening, looked even more excited when he heard the numbers Chen Xu broke.

Although the sales of the previous "Mirror" were astonishing, after all, she was just a theatergoer before she participated in it.

But she participated in the entire production of "Undertale".

Even though the process feels like "the dog is tied to win," she is responsible for most of the plot filling in the game anyway.

It also gave her a sense of accomplishment.

"I don't know how much the final sales volume will be!" Ruan Ningxue took a sip of juice with the same excitement on her face.

"It feels like it might break a million!" Yang Xin said excitedly.

"Judging from the current evaluation trend, it's only a matter of time before it reaches one million." Chen Xu smiled and nodded, affirming.

… … …

Unlike Chen Xu who was confident, players who had been paying attention to "Undertale" and some designers in the industry went crazy when they saw the reviews of its game.

What's happening here

In the Hepai media, Media Zhong’s eyes were widened and he had no intention of getting off work.

Is Nebula Game stuffed with money? How much does this cost

He has also done this kind of thing by buying good reviews and good reviews from the media, but this "Undertale" is too much!

This was his first thought, and it was also the first thought of everyone else who saw the results of "Undertale".

No one believes that Undertale's true quality warrants such a review.

After all, this is a low-cost independent game.

With such a score, it can be said to be a standard masterpiece.

Is a game like "Undertale" really worthy of being produced with a small budget

But at the same time, this has also attracted the curiosity of many players, that is, what kind of game "Under the Legend" is.

And after these players become curious, they will become part of countless praises and continue to add fuel to the fire.

The most direct manifestation is the game data that Chen Xu has been observing.

Every hour when refreshed, there will be a considerable increase.

Of course, the more important thing is the evaluation of the game.

It was almost unanimously praised, and the overall game's score remained at 9.9, not declining due to the increase in sales.

You must know that the rating of a game slowly decreases as the number of players increases.

Generally speaking, if you can reach 8.5 points, you have reached the bottom line of excellence.

If it reaches 9 points, it is already considered a high-quality game, and if it reaches 9.5 points or above, it can already be called a masterpiece.

But despite the skyrocketing sales of "Undertale", player ratings have remained very stable.

Although this score can definitely drop as more and more players follow, it is still quite scary.

And below the store, the reviews given by players express their opinions on this game.

"I thought it was just an ordinary RPG monster-killing game, but I have to say that the appearance of Xiaohua and the ending really shocked me!"

"At first, I became curious about Nebula Games and Chen Xu because of Magic Mirror, but I have to say that "Undertale" made me understand what a game is! Really, it subverted my understanding of RPG games!"

"I can only describe it as incredible!"

"Never hurt those monsters in the game, otherwise you will regret it! Trust me!"

"The wind is roaring, and standing in front of you is a real hero!"

"It feels like an explosion! I have a feeling that the game "Under Legend" will definitely become a hit!"

"The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, children like you should be burned in hell!"

"This fills you with determination!"

"Incredibly innovative and shocking game design!"

Countless players have given "Undertale" extremely high reviews, and of course there are also some negative reviews mixed in.

It lowered the rating by 0.1, but compared with the flood of positive reviews, these negative reviews are like a drop in the ocean.
