The advancement of technology is strikingly rapid.
Things that you would long for back in the day are commonplace in the world today.
Such is not an exception, even for the world of games.
In fact, it could be said to be a field where such “longings” and “fantasies” are easier to manifest.
There are also cases of bringing life to an old two-dimensional game with the latest technology and that’s also the charm of it.
In short, there are quite a few people who long for science fiction or fantasy worlds.
While it may only be in the form of a game, these people have brought such worlds to life.
“He”, who had just graduated from high school and was now leading a comfortable university life, is also one such person who had this longing.
4th generation VRS—virtual reality sensation game—aka an “All-Sense Projection” type game.
Such games were brought to life with BCNI <Brain Control Nano Interface> device, which is a revolutionary electronic device that can read brain waves—in other words, it reads the player’s mind and outputs it onto a virtual reality game.
This device not only outputs such brain waves onto the game, it also gives feedback to the player from the game—feedback not only limited to sight and hearing—but which also encompasses all five senses with the “All-Sense Projection” system and stimulates the player.
To sum up, this “All-Sense Projection” (ASP for short from now on) system has made it possible to provide the player with a whole second world—a complete virtual reality.
As a result, VR games which utilize this ASP system were developed in great numbers and became extremely popular, making the entire world crazy about it.
And among these games, there was one with the title “Tactics Chronicle”.
As one can guess from just the title, it was a tactics simulation game.
Developing a nation, building it up, protecting it, attacking other nations and ultimately turning it into a great nation.
This genre of National Strategy simulation existed way back in the day as well, starting from offline single-player modes.
However, this particular title had the fantasy aspect of “leading a country of demons as a human king” and was a bit more of an RPG.
Moreover, this was the first game of the genre to utilize the ASP system and on top of that, the developers are renowned for their thoroughness towards the details, all resulting in amazing early reviews.
And so, after postponing the release date 3 times and making the eagerly waiting players desperate, they finally released “Tactics Chronicle” and were able to grasp the players’ hearts tight by not betraying the early reviews.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that such a game only drops one or twice a year at best.
—Of course I would buy it.
“He” said to himself, all alone in the room. It wasn’t an excuse for himself.
It was only normal to line up the night before release to buy such games.
The titles this developer has released were known to not disappoint its core audience and so he had been keenly waiting for it. For that alone, he felt much more grief and indignation when the 3rd postponement was announced.
