Reborn in 2002: I'll Revive Chinese-Made Games

Lu Heng was reborn in 2002.

That year, the domestic game Qin Shang wowed audiences at E3 and was hailed as a historical Diablo.

That year was also the darkest dawn of the end of domestic single-player games and the rise of online games.

After that, the best Three Kingdoms games came from Japan, and the best martial arts games came from France.

The world knew only the swords and sorcery of the West, not the Eastern worlds of wuxia and immortal cultivation.

The world had witnessed loyal, courageous ninja and knights, but knew nothing of the chivalrous heroes and Daoist priests who fought for their country and people.

If being reborn is a chance to make up for regrets, then domestic games need the ambition to change the world!

A bustling city ripe for exploration could be Chang Le Wei Yang in Luoyang!

A breathtaking continent between worlds could be the ethereal Three Realms and Four Continents of xianxia!

A real-time strategy game exposing the history of World War II in Asia is on its way, and Chinese-style horror that will leave you pondering in dread is about to ascend to the pantheon!

And there will be business simulations, action adventures, and narrative games!

Games are mainly for entertainment, but they can be more than entertainment.

“Games from Huaguo have practically become the gold standard for quality.”

“Xia Ke Xing is the pinnacle of 2D side-scrolling action games. Its parrying and blade-clashing mechanics are still being copied and studied by a bunch of AAA games.”

“Warm Snow needs no introduction. After all these years, no roguelike in its vein has managed to surpass it.”

“As for AAA titles like Sleeping Dogs, Mount & Blade: Three Kingdoms, and Assassin’s Creed: Dynasty, I don’t think I need to introduce them.”

That was what the video game players who had made a pilgrimage to Huaguo said in response to a reporter’s question.
