During the 2018 Russia World Cup, the advertisement "Dongfeng Nissan Family World Cup" shot by Dongfeng Nissan left a deep impression on everyone. Its idea of "car+football" was praised by many netizens. In fact, this idea was not Nissan's first. As early as 2015, a casual online game "Rocket League" was developed by American independent game studio Psyonix By virtue of the game form of car+football, IGN got a score of 8.0. Later, after the promotion of multiple platforms and stable servers in 2017, IGN increased its score to 9.3. In April 2017, it was officially announced that the national service of Rocket Alliance would be operated and represented by Tencent Games. In the near future, it will officially meet with the majority of domestic players. Unexpectedly, there will be no news about the game except for the test at the end of 2017. The time comes to November 9, 2018, when Rocket Alliance starts the "burst test", what will be the performance of this conservatively acclaimed game, Let's have a look.

Speed and passion gained from simple operation

From the perspective of playing method, the overall playing method of Rocket League can be summarized in one sentence - playing football with a racing car. After entering the game, players need to first choose a racing car they drive. For novices, the overall car is no different, as long as they choose the appearance they like. The overall operation of the game is not complicated. WASD controls the direction, the space bar locks the football, the left mouse button accelerates the fuel, and the right mouse button jumps over the game.

As for the rules of the game, in addition to the time rules, the game has no rules at all. Your goal is to drive the ball into the other party's (or your own) door. There is no boundary setting in the game. You can drive a car on the wall or in the goal. Even if your car is crashed on the court, you will be able to resume the race safely in your own half of the court. This simple and crude game mode greatly reduces the threshold of the game for players. Both newcomers to the game and hardcore players who are good at various games can find the most simple and direct happiness in the game.

Easy to use, difficult to master, the operation experience behind simple games

Although the game is very simple to master, it is difficult to master. First of all, unlike the control of characters, it is difficult to control the car to play football. After all, the car itself does not have flexible lateral movement ability, and the player needs to complete the steering operation, In addition, the perspective in the game is not the overhead perspective, but the third person follow perspective. For players who play for the first time, they will feel dizzy. It is recommended to click the space bar to lock the position of the football for the game. For players who are dizzy 3D, it will greatly alleviate the vertigo caused by high-speed movement, and it is also more convenient to operate.

The setting of no boundary makes the wall in the game also become the battlefield for football. It is also difficult to operate the wall in the third person following perspective, but the use of this space greatly highlights the fun of the game. In the game, there are fuel replenishing points all over the court. After touching, you can use fuel to accelerate the pace of the game. Players can use fuel to attack and defend faster and perform wonderful operations. However, with the acceleration of the speed of the car, the operation difficulty of the players has also become higher, and it has become more difficult to predict the trajectory of the football movement to intercept and shoot. The jump attribute makes the originally flat football field more three-dimensional. The rolling acceleration brought by double click jump makes the car more dynamic and the game has more operation space.

In addition, although all kinds of cars in the game have the same attributes in terms of speed, force, acceleration, etc., thanks to the excellent physical collision engine of the game, the different appearances of different cars directly affect the movement track of the football after the car touches the football. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable car after you are familiar with the game, This is also the main reason for the differentiation of cars in the game.

Personalized, versatile models can be matched freely

In addition to the short and smooth rhythm of the game, the most favorable thing in the game settings is the absolutely fair competitive environment, which should be one of the main reasons why the game can gain the support of the majority of players. There is no attribute setting in the game, which also makes the attribute props not appear in the game mall, which is a variety of customized decorative materials for players, In addition to car spray painting, overhead decoration, tire appearance and antenna decoration, the game has its own unique decoration for ball movement track, car fuel injection or shooting special effects for stubborn choices. Of course, you can't buy it directly. You need to buy a treasure chest and draw it by yourself. Whether you can draw your favorite decoration depends on your luck.

The three most popular elements in European and American games, "car gun ball", have been unfailing for a long time, and the Rocket League, which is the second of the three, has a short and smooth game rhythm. It is not surprising that the exciting game experience can win the praise of the majority of players. The intense and exciting game experience, Close and meticulous team cooperation and good game operation feel are all willing to make the game a success. If the disadvantages of the game are that the game map scene and playing method are relatively simple, and the characteristics of the vehicle are not particularly obvious, I hope that the game can be improved in the future to bring players a richer game experience.

Kick the accelerator and score goals. At present, the game is in the "flash test" stage. Call the kids to the official website to grab the code and have a tense and exciting car football match!
