Perhaps it is because September is approaching and the holiday is about to end, major game manufacturers are also speeding up their actions. In August, many games have announced their test news, and many of them are key games that players pay attention to. In this article, let's take a look at the games that have been tested in August.

"Lock Kingdom Mobile Game" - First test on August 19

Since obtaining the version number in June, I believe many players have been looking forward to the test launch of "Lock Kingdom Mobile Game". After 2 months, the official officially confirmed that the first test of the game will be launched on August 19.

It should be noted that this test is a technical light test, a free test with deleted data, and the test is only for the iOS platform. It only supports QQ login. Users who have successfully made a reservation for the mobile game are eligible to draw a place for the light test (filling out the questionnaire will increase the probability). Recruitment ends on August 15, and only 10,000 places are available.

The game will be based on the web version, and will build a worldview based on classic characters, scenes, and storylines, creating a new magical world with a more rigorous worldview. Players will play the role of a college freshman in a magical world where elves coexist, gradually understand this world, establish a deep bond with the elves, and make important choices at critical moments.

The core gameplay of the game revolves around the capture and cultivation of elves. Players can explore different maps to capture various elves and cultivate them to grow, thereby enhancing their combat capabilities. The battles in the game adopt a turn-based strategy. Players need to reasonably match the pet lineup and use the principle of attribute restraint to defeat the opponent.


According to reports, in addition to verifying the overall game experience and related technical issues, this test will also focus on capturing elves in the big world and building combat strategies. Some other popular scenes, familiar NPCs, specific elves, and specific gameplay are currently under development, while others will be opened in subsequent tests.

"Infinite Nikki" - Confidential Mobile Test on August 7

As a new game from Paper Games, Infinite Nikki has been highly anticipated by players since it received the game license. The game was first tested in May, and according to online news, on August 7, the game launched a small-scale confidential test for mobile terminals called "Fantasy Test".


17173 was also fortunate to participate in this test. The graphics performance of "Infinite Nikki" on mobile terminals is quite good. The characters in the game have extremely delicate facial expressions, skin texture and rich details. The large number of close-up shots that appear during the plot are particularly noticeable.


What’s even more surprising is that even in an open world with ever-changing lighting and terrain, these exquisite costumes can still maintain the same high quality performance. The clothes can dynamically react to the ambient light, adjust the brightness and color, and achieve transparent highlights, rich shadows, and natural highlights.

As for the open world itself, Infinite Nikki also has excellent performance in scene art. Through reasonable control of texture resolution and optimized allocation of memory resources, the game restores the core scene details of the PC to the greatest extent on the mobile terminal.


"Zhu Xian 2" mobile game - August 8th Millennium Agreement Test

"Zhu Xian" is a well-known IP in China, and the "Zhu Xian" series of games under Perfect World are also the childhood memories of many players. On August 8, the new flagship mobile game "Zhu Xian 2" of the "Zhu Xian" series started paid testing.


As the new flagship work of Zhu Xian, the mobile game "Zhu Xian 2" will make new attempts to reshape the MMO rules in the following aspects.

Unlike the fixed career combination and standing output mode of traditional MMO, players can change their careers anytime and anywhere in the "Zhu Xian 2" mobile game, and it is completely free. Players can switch career positions anytime and anywhere according to their needs to meet the various dungeon and combat needs of team/lone wolf players.


Each profession in the game has powerful skills that can change the rules of physics. The fairy-like skill settings make both PVP and PVE more immersive. Players can also move and cast spells throughout the battle without having to stand still and read the bar to release skills. The battle process is more refreshing and exciting, and the overall experience is not inferior to action games.


Zhu Xian 2 Mobile Game innovatively adopts the development model that goes against the MMO industry, replacing the main career setting in traditional MMO games with a unique three-line gameplay. It provides players with three completely different growth path choices: combat (Xian Xiu)/refining (Xian Shu)/design (Xian Yu).

Xianxiu players will receive more combat trials, have more opportunities to challenge dungeons and secret realms, and can constantly hone their combat skills, representing the ceiling of combat power in the game. Xianshu players can refine elixirs, customize exclusive magic weapons for other players, and earn a lot of wealth through transactions with other players; Xianyu players can design unique fashions and hairstyles, and create their own fashion labels.


However, judging from the feedback from players who have participated in the test so far, although the game's graphics have been improved a lot, the gameplay is still based on the old framework of Perfect World. There is still a large amount of pay-to-win content in the game, and it is still a pay-to-win game.
