2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The game system according to the present embodiment is configured such that a player forms a deck composed of a plurality of characters (cards) and executes a game in which a player battles against a character of an opponent (another player). In this game, the parameters of the characters constituting the player's deck (hereinafter also referred to as player characters) are compared with the parameters of the characters constituting the opponent's deck (hereinafter also referred to as enemy characters). The game progresses accordingly. Here, the game has two game scenes: a chance scene where the player can attack and the player can score, and a pinch scene where the player can defend and the opponent can score. In the chance scene, the values based on the player character's attack parameters (abilities such as shoot, heading, pass, dribble, corner kick, etc.) are the defensive parameters of enemy characters (pass cut, sliding, clear, catching, etc.) The player score is added, and the player score is added when the value based on the attack parameter of the player character is smaller than the value based on the defense parameter of the enemy character. Quit without On the other hand, in the pinch scene, when the player character's defensive parameter is smaller than the enemy character's attack parameter, the opponent's score is added and the process ends. The value based on the player character's defensive parameter If it is equal to or greater than the value based on the parameter, the process ends without adding the opponent's score. Then, the winning or losing is determined based on the score on the player side and the score of the opponent when a predetermined number of game scenes including at least one of the first and second game scenes are completed. Each player's deck is set with the type of formation ("4-4-2" or other character arrangement formation).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen for the player to select an opponent. The game screen GI is displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10. Here, the game screen GI displayed on the terminal 10 of the player A is shown, and the game screen GI when the game mode is the first game mode is shown.

  On the game screen GI shown in FIG. 4, an icon IC indicating a predetermined number of other players (opponents) matched with the player is displayed. Here, icons ICs of ten other players (player B to player K) matched with the player A are displayed.

  A numerical value indicating the team strength of the other player is displayed on the icon IC of the other player. The player's team strength is a parameter that represents the strength of the player, and is calculated based on the parameters (attack parameters, defense parameters) of each character constituting the player's deck, the formation set on the deck, and the like. . Accordingly, when another player changes the character or formation constituting the deck, the team power of the other player varies. The player's team strength also varies depending on the player's state (strange, good, perfect, awakening), and the better the player's state, the higher the team strength of the player. The state of the player changes from moment to moment, and also changes as the player consumes a predetermined item.

  A predetermined number of other players to be matched with the players are determined based on the team strength of each player. For example, a predetermined number of other players are selected by lottery or the like from a plurality of other players whose team strength is within a predetermined range centered on the player's team power, and the selected predetermined number of other players are selected. Matched with the player. In this way, it is possible to prevent another player having a team power far from the team power of the player from being matched with the player, and to perform matching appropriately. The predetermined number of other players that are matched with the player are updated every time a certain time elapses (matching is executed every time a certain time elapses).

  The player selects another player as an opponent in consideration of the team power of each of a predetermined number of other players. When the player performs an operation of selecting one of the icon ICs of another player, a battle with the selected other player starts (transition to the battle screen with the other player). Here, an action parameter is set as a parameter for the player, and when the player performs an operation of selecting another player as an opponent, the action parameter is set according to the team strength and state of the other player. The consumption value is subtracted. The consumption value increases as the team power of the other selected players increases (or as the state is better). Note that the value of the behavior parameter automatically recovers (increases) over time with a predetermined upper limit as a limit.

  In the first game mode, when a player wins a match against another player, the player is given a predetermined game point as a reward. The amount of game points given as a reward increases as the other player's condition is better.

  Further, when the player wins the battle, a predetermined parameter (parameter represented by the gauge GA shown in FIG. 4) set for the player is increased by a predetermined amount. Then, when the player repeatedly wins against other players and the parameter represented by the gauge GA reaches a predetermined value, the game mode shifts from the first game mode to the second game mode.

When the second game mode is entered, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players matched with the player is determined. In the second game mode, when a player continues to win by playing against other players according to the determined battle order, the player is rewarded according to the number of consecutive wins.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players (player B to player K) is determined so that the team strength is in ascending order. That is, the player K having the smallest team strength is determined as the first battle order, and the player J having the largest team strength is determined as the tenth battle order. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, a mark MK is displayed in the vicinity of the icon IC of the player K with the first battle order, suggesting that the player K is first in the battle order. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a message MS indicating that the second game mode is being activated and the remaining time of the time limit of the second game mode is displayed on the game screen GI.

  When the player selects the first player K according to the determined battle order and wins the battle with the player K, as shown in FIG. 7, the battle order is close to the icon IC of the second player F. A mark MK is displayed. Subsequently, when the player selects the second player F according to the determined battle order and wins by playing against the player F, as shown in FIG. 8, the icon IC of the player E with the third battle order is displayed. A mark MK is displayed in the vicinity of. In this way, each time a player wins by playing against another player according to the determined battle order, the next opponent in the battle order is presented to the player.

  Further, when the player performs an operation of selecting another player according to the determined battle order, the consumption value is subtracted from the behavior parameter. The consumption value at this time increases as the ranking of the other selected players in the battle order becomes lower.

  If a predetermined time limit has elapsed since the transition to the second game mode, the second game mode ends and the transition to the first game mode is made.

  Also, the second game mode ends when the player selects another player other than the other players according to the determined battle order. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, when the player selects another player other than the player E having the third battle order, the second game mode ends (the battle with the selected other player is performed). . Thus, the player is given an opportunity to select any other player as an opponent even in the second game mode.

  When the second game mode ends, the player is given a predetermined item or character as a reward. The types and number of items and characters that are awarded as rewards are determined according to the number of consecutive wins in the second game mode and the value of the rewards that are awarded as the number of consecutive wins increases. (For example, the effect of the item to be granted, the rarity or ability value of the character to be given) becomes high, and the number of rewards to be given increases. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, when the second game mode is ended without selecting the player E with the third battle order, the battle with the player K with the first battle order until then is played. Since the battle with the second player F in the order is won, the type and number of items and characters corresponding to the number of consecutive wins = 2 are given to the player as a reward.

  If the player loses as a result of playing the other players according to the determined battle order, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players is determined again, and the battle order of the first player is A mark MK is displayed in the vicinity of the icon IC.

When the player wins all the battles with the first to tenth other players according to the determined battle order (when the number of consecutive wins reaches a predetermined number), a special reward is given to the player as a bonus. In addition, a predetermined number of other players to be matched with the player are determined again, and the battle order of the determined predetermined number of other players is determined again.

  In addition, a battle with another player according to the determined battle order may be designated as a special battle by lottery (random). During execution of this battle, the time limit for the second game mode does not advance, and if the player wins this battle (or clears a predetermined condition in the battle), the time limit for the second game mode is predetermined. Only time is extended.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second game mode is entered, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players matched to the player is determined, and the player battles with other players according to the determined battle order. If the player continues to win, a reward corresponding to the number of consecutive wins is given to the player. Therefore, the player is encouraged to play against other players that the player does not normally select (for example, other players with high team power, other players who are not good at the player), and a predetermined number of other matched The player can be encouraged to play against the player evenly.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players is determined so that the team strength is low, and the team strength of the opponent gradually increases as the battle order becomes lower. By doing so, it is possible to reduce psychological resistance when the player makes a selection according to the battle order. Note that the battle order of a predetermined number of other players may be determined based on the battle history of the players. For example, the other players in which the formation (the opponent's presumption that the player is good at) that the player played the most among the formations of other players that the player has played so far is placed at the top of the battle order In this way, the battle order of a predetermined number of other players may be determined. Even in this case, it is possible to reduce the psychological resistance when the player selects according to the battle order.

  In the above description, a case has been described in which only the next (next) opponent in the determined battle order is presented (suggested) to the player. However, according to the determined battle order, the icons of a predetermined number of other players are displayed. May be arranged so as to present all of the determined battle order to the player.

3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the server 20. First, the matching processing unit 210 matches a player with a predetermined number of other players based on the parameters (team power) of each player (step S10), and transmits the matching result to the terminal 10 of the player (step S12). .

  When the game mode is the first game mode (Y in step S14), the processing unit 200 determines whether or not notification information for notifying other players selected as the opponent has been received from the terminal 10. If it is determined (step S16) and the notification information is not received (N in step S16), the process proceeds to step S52. When the notification information is received, the processing unit 200 transmits the information of the selected other player (the opponent) to the terminal 10 (step S18), and the player's behavior parameters are transmitted to the other player. Decrease by the consumption value according to the team power and condition. Next, the battle result management unit 212 receives the battle result from the terminal 10, registers the received battle result in the player information, and updates the battle history of the player (step S20).

Next, the reward granting unit 214 determines whether or not the player has won the match based on the received match result (step S22). If the match is defeated (N in step S22), the process proceeds to step S52. To do. When the battle is won (Y in Step S22), the reward granting unit 214 grants a reward (predetermined game point) to the player and registers it in the player information (Step S24). Next, the game mode changing unit 216 increases a predetermined parameter (parameter represented by gauge GA) set for the player by a predetermined amount (step S26), and whether the predetermined parameter has reached a predetermined value (predetermined) Whether or not the above condition is satisfied) is determined (step S28). When the predetermined parameter reaches the predetermined value (Y in step S28), the game mode changing unit 216 determines the predetermined number of other players based on the team strength of each of the predetermined number of other players or the player's battle history. The player's battle order is determined (step S30), information indicating the determined battle order is transmitted to the terminal 10, and the game mode is shifted from the first game mode to the second game mode (step S32). Also, predetermined parameters are reset.

  When the game mode is the second game mode (N in Step S14), the processing unit 200 determines whether or not notification information for notifying another player selected as the opponent has been received from the terminal 10. If it is determined (step S34) and the notification information is not received (N in step S34), the process proceeds to step S46. When the notification information is received (Y in step S34), the game mode changing unit 216 determines whether the selected other player matches the other player according to the battle order (step S36). ). When the selected other player matches the other player in accordance with the battle order (Y in Step S36), the processing unit 200 transmits the information of the selected other player (the opponent) to the terminal 10. (Step S38), and the action parameter of the player is decreased by a consumption value corresponding to the rank of the other player in the battle order. Next, the battle result management unit 212 receives the battle result from the terminal 10, registers the received battle result in the player information, and updates the battle history of the player (step S40).

  Next, the game mode changing unit 216 determines whether or not the player has won the match based on the received match result (step S42). If the match has been won (Y in step S42), the process proceeds to step S46. Transition. When the match is defeated (N in Step S42), the game mode changing unit 216 determines the battle order of another predetermined number of players again, and transmits information indicating the determined battle order to the terminal 10 (Step S42). S44). Next, it is determined whether a predetermined time limit has elapsed since the transition to the second game mode (step S46). If the predetermined time limit has not elapsed (Y in step S46), the process proceeds to step S52. Transition.

  When the selected other player does not match the other player according to the battle order (N in Step S36) and when a predetermined time limit has elapsed (N in Step S46), the reward granting unit 214 Then, a reward (predetermined item or character) corresponding to the number of consecutive wins in the second game mode is given to the player and registered in the player information (step S48), and the game mode changing unit 216 changes the game mode. A transition is made from the second game mode to the first game mode (step S50).

  Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not to continue the process (step S52). When the process is continued (for example, the value of the behavior parameter is equal to or greater than a predetermined value) (Y in step S52). The process proceeds to step S14.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the terminal 10. First, based on the matching result received from the server 20, the game processing unit 110 performs control to display the icon ICs of a predetermined number of other players matched with the player on the game screen GI (step S60). Further, in the case of the second game mode, the game processing unit 110 suggests the next opponent (or a battle order of a predetermined number of other players) based on the information indicating the battle order received from the server 20. Control to display information to be displayed on the game screen GI.

  Next, the game processing unit 110 determines whether or not there has been an operation input for selecting any of a predetermined number of other players as opponents (step S62), and if there has been an operation input (Y in step S62) ) Transmits notification information for notifying other players selected as opponents to the server 20 (step S64), and receives information of other players selected as opponents from the server 20 (step S66). ). Next, the game processing part 110 performs the process which advances the game which battles with an opponent (step S68), and transmits a battle result to the server 20 (step S70).

  Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not to continue the process (step S72). When the process is continued (Y in step S72), the process proceeds to step S62.
