Chapter 22: This game looks like a really satisfying one!

A new game begins, with a completely different room layout and monster configuration.

But having learned from his previous experience of sudden death, he became much more cautious.

While dodging bullets and fighting back, they made it through the first room without any major incidents.

"See? It passed!"

Chen Dazhuang shook his head smugly at the comments, "Now that's real gameplay!"

"Art style is irrelevant."

"Let's try again, I feel like I'm almost there..."

However, the truth is that we got stuck on the second level right after passing the first level.

I spent a whole hour wandering around the second floor.

The live stream chat instantly erupted in joy!

[Hahahaha! It's definitely an insomnia game. This torturous style is really something!]

[A game that requires player interaction? I like this one!]

[Dodge! Move! What's going on?! Dazhuang, do you even know how to play?!]

[Pfft! Hahaha, it's time for my food thesis defense!]

Damn, this game's design is really interesting, especially the monsters.

[Pfft, why did it hang up again?]

To be honest, it's fun, really great. I'm going to buy one now, just hope the price doesn't go up later.

The following levels are much more interesting.

Each dungeon level and each room has different items and monsters.

Sometimes there aren't any monsters in a room at all, so you can just walk through it.

But sometimes, the monsters in that room can be a little disgusting.

In particular, it required the sacrifice of Isaac.

Of course, Dazhuang is still exploring the other rooms, and hasn't even found the hidden rooms yet.

The purpose of the props remains unclear to this day.

Use whatever you find.

Just then! Suddenly, a silver key appeared before his eyes!

Meanwhile, on the other side, a hidden door was opened!

"Holy crap! There was a hidden one!"

"What are you waiting for? Let's go inside!!"

Controlling Isaac, he entered the hidden room directly.

I've already cleared one floor, and I didn't even know there were treasure rooms and shop rooms. It's unbelievable!

Now, Chen Dazhuang has started a new round and defeated the BOSS without taking any damage.

We've arrived at the second floor again!

A key actually came out!

"I understand! There are hidden rooms starting from the second floor, and there must be treasures inside!"

"Brothers, wait for me!"

So, Chen Dazhuang controlled Isaac and entered a brand new room!

The previous mistakes resulted in not obtaining any good items in the first three levels of the space!

But things are different now!

After the key was discovered, he carefully searched the rooms where no monsters had appeared!

For example, here!

"Let me check, there are no monsters in this room."

"But so many stones... something's not right!"

The next second! Isaac arrived near the rock!

"This stone... no, there are several stones here that are completely different from these!"

"There's an 'X' on this stone!"

"I bet this rock has some kind of prop inside! Let's blow it up first!"

With a mark, the bomb was buried on rock X, and with a bang, it blew up all the rocks in the vicinity.

as predicted!

Two bombs were dropped the instant the explosion occurred!

There were also blood packs and a golden box!

"Holy crap, I think I actually know how to play this game!!"

Chen Dazhuang was overjoyed!

What do players love most? Surprises!

In just nine minutes of this game, the score reached 1900!

"That was awesome!"

"I started with clay cookies, and now my score is almost over 2,000."

"Once we apply a debuff to the enemy, they'll be powerless!"

"I'm confident, brothers, I'll be able to get past the second level soon."

"Tsk tsk, just play around, just play around~"

Suddenly, as if he had figured out the true way to play the game, Chen Dazhuang rushed to the next level without saying a word!

however--

The monster in this room is the Chicken Leg Monster.

It's important to know that in this game, the system provided Shen Huaizhou with the design of all the monsters in The Binding of Isaac.

This includes monsters from The Binding of Isaac, The Repentance of Isaac, and several DLC versions.

Even at the very beginning, aside from the character Isaac.

It also added characters that will only be available in later DLC versions.

Of course, these characters can only be obtained after unlocking specific levels.

Furthermore, in order to "train" players' ability to think independently.

Since the initial release didn't activate God Mode, the most traditional cheat codes were naturally not included either.

Of course, the interface for mods has been left for players.

Furthermore, the player workshop was launched immediately upon release, allowing players to operate the game themselves.

That's how a game is operated.

In addition to the studio's own official updates, player participation is also necessary.

Shen Huaizhou even made a decision.

In the future, maps developed by players will rank higher among the game maps.

You can also receive official rewards from the game.

As a result, this game will inevitably become the most popular roguelike game among most players.

Pshaw, I've gone off on a tangent.

……

At this moment, Chen Dazhuang, confident that he was going to have a great game, took down the bomb, health pack and treasure chest on the second floor.

He plunged headfirst into a room!

As it turned out, the monsters in the room were four chicken leg guys.

The legendary first lesson for newbies, the newbie killer, the number one killer in the basement, Chicken Leg Bro!

The bullets it releases are these red blood droplets.

It's fast and has a high aggression!

All the bullets were fired from all directions; if you weren't careful, you'd be dead.

"I'm hiding...wait, what?!"

Chen Dazhuang hadn't figured out these strange things when, as soon as he entered the room, two chicken leg guys came right up to his face.

You instinctively flinch, but the bullet was already aimed at you.

Isaac twisted his body slightly, barely managing to graz the edge.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I discovered that there were two more "chicken leg guys" behind me.

Four bullets came right at our side, there was no way to avoid them!

"No way—you can play like this?"

His voice began to rise.

The next second, two drops of blood were gone.

With only two drops of blood left, the journey ahead is about to become extremely difficult.

This one room has turned this roguelike game into a bullet hell game.

And because of his own clumsy actions, his four drops of full health turned into two drops.

"I dodge! I dodge again! I'll throw another bullet!"

Chen Dazhuang was completely focused, his mouse and keyboard clicking rapidly.

They were about to kill the four chicken leg monsters.

Just as he was concentrating on his positioning, preparing to kill the last chicken leg guy.

"Click!"

A crisp, discordant click of a key hitting the screen!

Holy crap! My keyboard is stuck.
