Some time ago, the mobile game "Against the Water" opened an update for the new season, which was really like a bear lifting the curtain and revealing a big face.

The new version features a mecha style, mecha bosses, mecha gameplay, and functional outfits. It seems that it is going to travel from the Song Dynasty to the future war. Players are all confused: Where did this little X come from? Is this still China?



It is easy to say whether it is a domestic issue. The mobile game "Against the Water" has always been focusing on pure domestic ancient style. The mecha carved with auspicious cloud patterns is indeed not from the Principality of Zeon, but this Song Dynasty is not necessarily the Song Dynasty that just played with gunpowder and printing. It must have at least the level of an industrial revolution.



How did the Song Dynasty have the Industrial Revolution?

The Song Dynasty in the mobile game "Ni Shui Han" has indeed undergone an industrial revolution. In the new team dungeon "Tian Ji Mystery City", not only the enemies drive mechas, but players also have to board mechas and "dogfight" in the hail of bullets. Low-altitude suspension, aerial combat, flat-ground gliding, missile tracking, and ultra-modern technological weapons are all available.



What allows players to drive mechas is the "Thousand Machine Jade Core", one of the development gameplays of the new season. This is a system similar to a talent tree. At the center of its development tree, an ability called "Mysterious Armor Descent" has attracted the attention of players: "Could it be that everyone will be able to summon mechas in the future?" The mobile game "Against the Cold" instantly turns into "Gundam Breaker", and the gamers are ecstatic.



The modeler was delighted, but what do the general players of the mobile game Ni Shui Han think? Their answer is: It's weird, more?

In the first few days after the server was launched, the dungeon gameplay did cause some confusion. After all, everyone usually controls their own characters and works together to fight the boss for 300 rounds. In "Heavenly Secret City", the style of tank battles right at the beginning is indeed a bit uncomfortable. But after getting started, the inexplicable excitement of the mecha battle gradually conquered everyone, and some people even began to worry about the former boss: "We all have mechas, so what qualifications does Makino Ya, who is known as the 'Thirteenth Culprit' in Wuyang City, have to be the king?"



On the other hand, the bold introduction of mechas has caused some players to ask, "If you do this, what about the ancient style?" Unexpectedly, the answer to these questions is, "Isn't this a good idea?"

First of all, let's talk about the mecha. At first glance, the mecha in the mobile game "Ni Shui Han" is a product of modern science fiction, as if it has traveled through time without any basis, but if you really enter the game to experience it, the Chinese armor patterns filled in it will not be very out of place: cloud and thunder patterns, auspicious cloud patterns, Ruyi disks, etc., in every corner that can be embellished, different styles are made as much as possible.

You can say that the "machine" in this mecha, which resembles a beast and a tiger, is indeed derived from science fiction, but the "armor" is also a real ancient armor, quite stylish.



In addition to the mecha, the new fashions introduced with the update also brought a bit of "industrial shock" to the Song Dynasty. After being accustomed to the various ancient-style clothing with long flowing clothes, the new fashions have turned to completely modern leather clothes that are closely related to motorcycle culture.



The female character has huge pink twin ponytails, short black hair with pink highlights, and a black leather jacket decorated with a belt. The black and pink landmine-style contrasting colors highlight the functional design language; the male character has short pink and blue hair with small pigtails, and a riveted leather jacket with cat elements, highlighting the popular elements of motorcycle metal.



In fact, judging from the reaction in the community, there seems to be no conflict in the choice between modern and ancient styles. Compared with modern styles with bolder materials and styles, being confined to the small circle of ancient styles will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue. After the launch of the new fashion, players also applauded for having more choices. More importantly, the fresh hairstyle copy dropped directly, and everyone was excited.



The mobile game "Ni Shui Han" has too many elements

Mecha wars, modern clothing... The idea of ​​the "Industrial Revolution" of the Song Dynasty inspired more "Tieba Idea Kings". Some players even recommended to the official that the mobile game "Ni Shui Han" should launch the second dimension image of the players, who can freely change clothes and hairstyles, and cosplay various classic characters...



Well said, but why not play ACG games? As you might imagine, the comments are also raising questions like this, but think about it carefully, in terms of core gameplay, the gameplay of Ni Shui Han mobile game is all-encompassing and it is almost impossible to find a perfect substitute in ACG games.

Afterwards, the poster posted a response to the plan. Maybe it will be realized one day?





In addition, the mobile game "Against the Water" also has a dream linkage with the familiar "Armor Hero". Players will soon be able to wear the armor of their dreams that they have been dreaming of since childhood in the Song Dynasty. In this anniversary version, they will also meet two classic characters, Emperor Xia and Xing Tian. I didn't expect that my childhood wish would be fulfilled in Against the Water when I grow up!





To be honest, as early as when the game update content was announced, I had roughly imagined in my mind how many players would argue over the topics of modern and ancient styles when the new content was released.

But judging from the response after the launch, apart from the usual "debate" on the strength of the professions, it seems that everyone likes both the mecha battles and the functional costumes, or at least it has not caused any negative emotions.

It's not just this time that the mobile game "Against the Water" has attempted the "Industrial Revolution". Various "divergent" gameplays, including the previous "Cyber ​​Manor" and "Song Dynasty Kart", have never shown any signs of failure. The diverse expressions, with solid gameplay and operations as the foundation, have brought various icing on the cake effects to the game.



Innovative dungeon levels, constantly expanding manors with new content, and a variety of "arcades" are all the reasons why the mobile game Ni Shui Han has the strength to make more "industrial revolutions" because of its solid core gameplay. In essence, the mobile game Ni Shui Han, like its players, is a large collection of Internet activities. Players gather together because they like MMORPGs, but they each have different hobbies, similarities, and their own personalities. The mobile game Ni Shui Han has built the best home for them.

There is a post that well demonstrates the diverse faces of the mobile game "Ni Shui Han".

At the beginning of the version update, due to the inability to adapt to the new group's gameplay, some conflicts broke out in the player community over the difficulty of the dungeon. Later, the conflicts escalated, making the discussion environment chaotic.

The poster of the original post hit the nail on the head. Everyone has their own preferences. There are all kinds of players, some who play for appearance, some who play for building manors, some who play for spectators, and yet they have to post a thread to mock and compete with each other over the difficulty of a dungeon. Is it possible that only a small number of players care about playing dungeons? Having fun is more important than anything else.



Who doesn't play games to make themselves happy? When many games still build happiness on forcing players to grind, spend money and force gameplay, the conscientious operation of the mobile game "Ni Shui Han" has created this inclusive paradise game. It is precisely because of this strategy that players here can be more tolerant of different themes and various gameplays, and can jointly maintain this subtle happiness.
