The gaming community has a unique creative culture, which is to downgrade today’s high-definition games into low-definition styles of game consoles produced before the millennium. “Elden’s Circle” is an example. , and now Steam’s most popular hit game “Palworld” in 2024 has also become a target work created by fans.
Overseas animation group “64 Bits” recently released a downgraded animation of the fantasy beast collection game “Phantom Parlu” produced by Pocketpair Company on YouTube, simulating the image quality of the Nintendo DS handheld console and presenting “What If” with a grainy pixel feel. What kind of animation will “Phantom Pallu” be released for Nintendo DS?
In the film, it starts with the signature Yusanjia cottontail sheep, cuckoo chicken and naughty cat looking down, followed by various activities and adventures of the pixel villain protagonist on the map, including capturing fantasy beasts, building buildings, etc. Screens such as the base, summoning fantasy beasts, and resisting enemy attacks also bring out pixel versions of many high-level fantasy beasts.
The last surprise on the screen is the appearance of the tower boss Zoe and the Lightning Bear, which seems to bring people back to the past era. It also surprises many players. Many players even left messages saying they really want to play this version. “Phantom Beast Palu”
When it comes to “Phantom Parlu”, although the number of players online at the same time on Steam continues to decline slowly, there is still a recent online peak of nearly 200,000. The latest v0.1.5.1 version update is still mainly about major bug fixes. , especially the QoL changes such as not having to hold down the F key during production were well received, but some players also criticized the problems after the revision of the Breeding Ranch.
Of course, as long as “Phantom Parlu” launches a major content update, including various new regions, new beasts and PvP content previously officially promised, I believe there will still be a large number of players returning.
