This new version of a classic game is remade, and it comes with the officially released Chinese language for communication, as well as practical tools. For some old players who have been playing games for many years, its price and some of the newly added content have sparked a lot of discussion.
Version core changes
The DX version launched this time is mainly based on the 2004 original version for high-definition operation. It improves the resolution of the game screen, and also adds a large number of new scripts, new events and new generals that are not lacking in the original version. Scripts such as "Nagawa Chapter" expand the interpretation space of the Warring States Period.
For those players who have come from the original version on PSP or PC, the addition of 100 generals and editing functions are the main highlights. The addition of official Simplified Chinese has lowered the entry barrier, but some players have pointed out that there is room for improvement in some UI and text adaptations.
Game play features
The core charm of the game is the high degree of freedom. Players are not limited to playing the role of Kinoshita Tokichiro, but can choose one of hundreds of Warring States figures and experience a variety of completely different life trajectories such as generals, businessmen, ninjas, swordsmen and even pirates.
Each profession has its own independent growth path and exclusive mini-games. For example, merchants have to run businesses, and ninjas have to perform secret missions. Such a multi-threaded design makes the game highly replayable, and you can get a fresh experience every time you start the game.
New element analysis
The newly added system called "Cat Generals" in the DX version is interesting. Players can collect them and specially dispatch cat generals with special abilities to assist them in their work. Although it seems to be a bit of a joke on the surface, it actually adds a lot of relaxed and cute collection-related elements to the game.
Another key new addition is the enhancement and improvement of the "Event Editor" function. Players can have more freedom to create original plots and events, and can also share them with others. This situation has greatly expanded the game and extended the vitality of the game. So far, the community still has a large number of scripts made by players circulating in the community.
Platform and installation points
This version is specially marked for Mac system support and is packaged as an independent App. This resolves the compatibility issues that may arise with the older version on the newer macOS system, making it more convenient for Mac users to experience it.
Please note that you should pay attention to the security settings of the system during installation. If you encounter the "Application is damaged" prompt, you generally need to enter the system preferences state, and in the "Security and Privacy" category, allow applications from unknown developers to run. This is not a problem with the software itself.
Modifiers and Experience
The multiple modifiers that come with the resources are a practical tool that allows players to adjust parameters such as money, skill points, and interpersonal relationships. It can effectively save time for players who want to quickly experience the plot or strive to overcome certain repetitive practice sessions.
However, it is recommended that players who play for the first time try the original and pure challenge first. If you use the modifier too early, it may reduce the sense of accomplishment brought by the core "growth and choice" of the game, thereby affecting your in-depth understanding of the game system.
The practical significance of the game
Apart from entertainment, "Taiko Lizhi Zhuan 5" is like an introductory book to the dynamically changing history of the Warring States Period. During the game, players will unknowingly develop a more three-dimensional understanding of historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen and their interpersonal networks.
The concept called "Warring States Survival Science" contained in the game, such as assessing the situation, accumulating connections, and developing multiple skills, although its background is set in ancient times, its underlying logic about planning and growth also has a certain metaphorical meaning and inspirational value for real life.
Which profession of life do you most prefer to experience in "Taiko Rizhiden 5"? Is it the kind of daimyo who can show outstanding talents in planning and command, or the kind of businessman who can dominate the world in terms of wealth accumulation?
