Mikura conversation game free of craft and movement impossible "Minecraft: Story Mode" review

There is no fixed story in the game "Minecraft (Minecraft)" which can reconstruct the world constituted by blocks as you like, but it is possible to play the story of RPG style in the world view of MinecraftMinecraft: Story Mode (Minecraft: Story Mode)"is. It is a totally different game maker from the manufacturer "Mojang" who produced the original mine craft "Telltale GamesAlthough it is making, it appeared as a series like a spin-off, so to speak, I tried to experience how the graphics and system of Minecraft are utilized effectively.

Minecraft: Story mode is released on PC, Mac, Steam, iOS, Android, PS 4, PS 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Because PlayStation / Xbox version could not be used yet in Japan, I will review with the iOS application version using the super large screen iPad Pro. When downloading and launching the application, the top screen looks something like this. To start the game, tap "Play".


Then the selection screen of six kinds of main characters is displayed. After choosing your favorite character, tap "Continue".


Tap "Start Episode 1".


Then "This game will change the story according to your choice" in English, prologue started from here.


Minecraft: The hero "The Order of The Stone" has become a legend that can be born in the world of story mode. When the crisis approached the world, four heroes combined power and brought peace to the world by knocking down the Ender Dragon, but narration says, "Like a myth that has been handed down to the present, the legend is time and The truth will also be lost ... ... In brief, lies are sometimes included ", casting a shadow on the glorious legend of the heroes.


It is Jesse, the main character, to appear as a boy admiring the legendary hero. Where are you staying at home with a friend Olivia, Olivia asked Jesse "Which would you choose if you fight 100 chick-size zombies or 10 zombie-sized chickens?"


Then a choice of 4 options appeared. There is a gauge under the choice, and it decreases automatically automatically. As for this time, we can choose "Ha?" "Chicken size zombie" "Zombie size chicken" "......", so it's a system that chooses something and progresses the story within time. If you do not press anything until time runs out, it will be a reply of "......".


So, when you select "chicken size zombies" ...


Jesse told "Easy of that, I will pick out the zombies of the poppy in the shit." It is a casual conversation scene, but depending on which selection you choose, it affects the subsequent story. For example, this "zombie or chicken" crush appeared also in Episode 2.


You can understand how you actually select a conversation and advance the story with the following movie.

In addition, depending on the conversation, a message like "Olivia will remember that." (Olivia remembers this) is displayed in the upper left corner, which may suggest whether it is an important scene or not. Because the speed at which the conversation gauge is decreasing is early, it was sometimes randomly chosen as soon as I thought, but on the contrary it can be reassured that "○ ○ does not remember this".


Besides Jessie's pet's pig's "Ruben" ... ...


Another group "Axel" will also appear. Three people will participate in the area craft contest "Endercon". Jesse's expectation will rise because Endercock's winner can face "Gabriel" who is one of The Order of The Stone.


Up to this point, you can not do anything other than choosing a choice, but you will be preparing before you leave and you will be able to freely move through the house. You can move the character in the sliding direction, and if the button is displayed, you can move automatically to that point by tapping.


Tap on "Chest" which is also in the original Mine Craft, I got "Flint".


The scenes that Jesse is moving freely and collecting materials and information are included in the following movies.

When I departed, Olivia got a question "I have never won the championship but I can win" ... After receiving a question and selecting the production design of Endercon, the material gathering event started. If you hit a button displayed on the screen repeatedly, we will collect sand blocks.


In order to keep the strength of the material collection, Ruben helped me to push up the pushup. Slide in the direction of the arrow and perform a pushup. These buttons and arrows often appear suddenly even after this, so be careful as it may get damaged or game over if you fail. Sometimes the story may branch depending on whether you can press the button or not.


You can see the state of collecting materials by operating Jessie with buttons and arrows from the following movies.

When you arrive at the venue of Endercon, there are scenes involved in the bully ... ...


When the production was completed, a crowd of people came around the three people, and it was decided to be admired as "nice craft!"


But one of those bullies who are not so interesting destroys the block damming the lava.



Ruben underneath was ignited and Ruben, who fell into a panic, was missing.


"Let's go looking for Leuven everyone!" "You must stay here and watch the machine!" I chose the option to be left for everyone here.


Jesse, who chased after Leuven and came out of the city alone, encountered a group of zombies.


Skeleton is about to release a bow and arrow when thinking that she ran away because of life. The arrow was out ... ...


The slide did not make it in time, and an arrow sticks in the arm.


A zombie is already waiting for the place to escape, Jesse took out the sword of the tree and the battle started. You can change the frontal and the backward slide with a pressing zombie.


Tap to attack until attacks or wait until zombies get into the game.


When you attack several times the button will be displayed and you can tap the two at a tempo to beat the zombies.


If I thought "this can win!" The tree's sword broke, and even spiders gathered. At the time of desperate situation, I withdrew the longevity with the help of the heroine 'Petra.'


Escaping the difficulties, the sword has broken, so we went to a place with a workbench for two people.


I will finally make "stone sword" as the first craft. To operate, just place two stone blocks from the item column on the left and one down the wooden stick. People who played the original Minecraft can make it without looking at anything, but if you do not know how to make it, you can click "Recipes (recipe)" at the bottom right.


Successfully crafted the stone sword. Because there are only limited materials, it seems that we can not make items other than the stone sword.


It is like this when I look at the state of actually making a sword of stone in a movie.

Even after that, the selected base story continues, but the ender dragon has revived in the streets in later development ... ...


Inhale people and buildings with blue light and rampage. Jesse, who was late for running away, will be drunk by the light.


If you do not understand how to operate it, it is sucked into blue light as it is ... ...


What a death of a moment. I was worried that "This game is not going to die?", But from this point I decided to learn that the selection error is a serious development involving life.


It is easy to see how Jessie will die like it in a movie.

It is one way to escape from Ender Dragon because of life, but here, Jesse will receive a request from Gabriel, one of the heroes, "gather the heroes of The Order of The Stone" as the world fought is.


"Episode 2" starts a journey to find two heroes. People who were interesting will be able to play if you purchase episode 2 anew.


In Episode 2, actions and battle scenes are larger than episode 1, such as fighting the ghost with the Nether and encountering a lot of end-man. In general, the story advances according to the choice of conversation. In addition, I tried to clear episodes 1 and 2 twice, but although there was a change in the story by the selection, there seems to be no change in the story of the main story.



Minecraft: Because the story mode is a "conversation game using Minecraft graphics" which is completely different between the original and the game system, even a person who has never played Minecraft can play. On the other hand, if you are a person who wants to play "Original Minkraft-like game play", you might be eating shoulder watermarks. Although there is subtitles, it is hard to proceed with English conversation, so I'd like to expect Japanese first.

Episode 3 is "Coming Soon", but the trailer movie has already been released.
