"Ragnarok", "Rocky", "Hope Online"... will the mention of these names bring back fond memories for you? If you are interested in Japanese fantasy MMOPRG, "Forest Kingdom", which is currently available for pre-order, is definitely worth a try. Its healing painting style, vivid fantasy world and unique cat characters can bring warmth and tranquility to players, allowing everyone to experience rare leisure happiness in the impetuous real life.
Compared with other games of the same type, "Forest Kingdom" has a unique feature, which is that it adopts a purely hand-painted style. The game team brought together illustrators from China, Japan and South Korea and spent 4 years on 7 remakes, using every stroke and every painting to present this warm and different world to players. The hand-painted method means more manpower investment, longer production cycle and more professional painting technical requirements. Compared with the mainstream games on the market that use copy-and-paste models, the team of "Forest Kingdom" chose a different path. They are not just hand-painted for the sake of hand-painting, but have their own ideas.
A treehouse, for example, can easily be replicated in multiple sets of the same design using traditional methods. But putting it into the entire scene, such "copy and paste" will not look natural and coordinated enough. However, by hand-drawing, the whole world becomes more textured: wood may be mottled where it has been freshly cut, and differences in lighting can cause different shades of shadow.
In the opinion of the production team, good works should be full of human touch, and the hand-painted style can create this romantic and humane visual experience. The hand-painted style may not be so cool or dazzling, but the watercolor world it builds is like old times, easily arousing the warmth and touch deep in your heart, and making your adventurous heart ready again!
The gameplay is not monotonous either. With five major professions, seven maps, and sixteen scenes, a rich and diverse adventure experience is waiting for players to explore. In the game, you can work with your partners to overcome levels, defeat enemies through teamwork, and obtain surprising treasures. You can also create your favorite gear together and show off your creativity and personality. In addition to combat and trading, there are many other activities in the game that can bring you joy and satisfaction.
In addition to the main career in the game, during the adventure, players can also learn skills from teachers around the world, choose their own life career, and learn different life skills. You can participate in group dance activities in the square, enjoy the joy of dancing, and speed up your leveling at the same time. If you love photography, then you can become a landscape photographer and travel across the continent to capture beautiful scenery and earn extra experience and memories.
In general, "Forest Kingdom" brings a rare peace and warmth to everyone with its gorgeous hand-painted world and diverse activities. In this game, you can find relaxation, feel happy, and create beautiful memories with other players. Step into this world, immerse yourself, release stress and enjoy true tranquility.
