The new year is almost halfway over.
In early June, the ALPHA version of "Blue Star Apocalypse" entered the studio for internal testing.
Approximately seventy employees from Bluestar participated in this test, and they will provide the most direct and effective feedback.
The game's development is currently about 20% complete, and the first large map's gameplay is basically finished.
The game primarily tells the story of a redemption journey in a post-apocalyptic world.
The protagonist, Russell, is an esper who lost all his family members in the apocalypse, including his six-year-old daughter.
A year after the apocalypse, she received a mission from the leader at the survivor base, asking her to lead a team to escort a "holy son" to the base of the Church of Judgment.
According to the language of the scriptures, the "Son of God" will save the world and end this apocalypse in the near future.
This "saint" named Louis was actually a 13-year-old boy with an eccentric personality.
Russell had to lead him through numerous obstacles to reach their target location a thousand kilometers away...
The game consists of three large maps. The first map mainly tells the story of Russell leading his team as they drive across a large province.
They encountered many difficulties and dangers on their journey, but also many interesting things.
The core gameplay revolves around fighting zombies and mutated monsters, exploring the map, and collecting resources.
Russell's ability is to throw a specially made beacon and then teleport herself or any items in her hand onto the beacon, making her arguably the safest person in the team.
Saint Louis, of course, followed her.
The game's combat system is also unique and interesting because of this ability.
Players can choose to use melee weapons and utilize Russell's superpowers to maneuver and "teleport" at crucial moments to defeat monsters.
However, this method still carries a certain risk of being attacked, and is suitable for highly skilled players who are very self-disciplined.
You can also choose ranged weapons. Russell (the player) has excellent marksmanship and can take down ordinary zombies with one shot.
The team even carried rocket launchers.
The smoke and dust scattered everywhere after the first shot, it was incredibly satisfying.
However, weapons and ammunition are very expensive, and it is necessary to judge whether to risk going out to collect resources as the convoy moves forward.
Yes, stockpiling food is part of the apocalypse! Don't play if you don't like it!
There is another alternative weapon called "blasting". Russell can shoot the beacon at the monster in advance or get close to the target location.
Then the explosive gunpowder is teleported there.
With a snap of the fingers, the entire area seemed to burst into a continuous burst of fireworks.
Russell, his long braid fluttering, walked towards the convoy without looking back.
She's a long-legged goddess.
In-game supplies are divided into five categories: food, ammunition, medicine, equipment, and miscellaneous items, with their importance decreasing in that order.
Every building you pass by may be hiding a huge number of zombies and mutated monsters.
Of course, it may also contain a huge amount of supplies.
It is both a danger and an opportunity.
Players can make decisions at any time, such as whether to station the convoy in place and then send a few NPCs to guard the base, or have a few NPCs follow them...
Of course, the most important one is also the Holy Son Louis.
Louis is a somewhat withdrawn little boy who often makes sarcastic remarks to others.
Russell, on the other hand, is a mature and sophisticated woman who will discipline him strictly.
The two didn't get along very well in the first large map's storyline, but this led to some hilarious conversations.
Sometimes, Louis would say, “The Cult of Judgment is unreliable, and I am no saint! You bunch of idiots, you’ve been completely fooled… If I were you, I would expose their deception!”
Russell remained expressionless: "If you were one of us, you would have been beaten to death long ago."
Louis: "..."
Of course, as the story progressed in the later stages of the first large map, the two gradually got along well.
Although they still bicker unconsciously, they have developed a considerable level of understanding and trust with each other.
Louis also took up a gun to help them fight, and Russell accepted him as a member of the team.
Louis stole a small cake for this "cold woman" to celebrate her birthday, and then learned that her son had died in the apocalypse.
That night, Louis pretended it was too cold and slept with Russell in his arms all night.
Russell said nothing, only that, "I must send you to the Church of Judgment; you are humanity's last hope."
The story ends with a massive bombing raid from another base.
No one knows why they dropped the bombs, but the entire city was engulfed in flames.
Under such immense force, the convoy disintegrated, and the team members perished one by one in the dangerous inferno.
The player controls Russell, protecting Louis as they flee in one direction.
