At each stage, an enemy character that becomes an opponent appears, so that it is possible to play against the player character selected by the player. When a player wins a battle with an enemy character, the player can acquire an item held by the enemy character or can acquire the enemy character itself. If a predetermined clear condition (for example, winning a battle with an appearing boss character) can be satisfied, the stage has been cleared, and the process can proceed to the next stage.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the player can play a lottery game called “gacha-gacha” (registered trademark). In the lottery game, a character selected from a plurality of characters constituting the deck is given to the player. In this lottery game, a plurality of decks (deck 1, deck 2, deck 3...) Are set. Since the types of characters stored in each deck are different, the player can play a lottery game with the aim of obtaining a desired character by selecting a deck.

<Character synthesis>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player can combine characters by combining a plurality of characters. By performing character synthesis, parameters (for example, level, attack power, defense power, etc.) set for the character after synthesis can be changed.
(Reinforced synthesis)
In the present embodiment, character synthesis is performed by combining at least one material character with a base character. By this character composition, the current value of the parameter set in the base character before composition is increased, and the current value of the increased new parameter is set in the base character after composition. When character composition is performed in this manner, the player does not own both the base character and the material character, but only possesses the base character after being strengthened by the composition.
(Evolution synthesis)
In addition, in this embodiment, by synthesizing all the material characters associated with the base character with the base character, the upper limit value as well as the current value of the parameter set for the base character is increased and increased. Later values can be set as new parameters. Note that the character ID of the base character may be changed by this evolutionary synthesis, and the current values of parameters such as attack power may be set back to the initial values. When character composition is performed in this way, the player does not own the base character and all material characters, but only possesses the base character (newly born character) that has been evolved through composition. .

<Purchase item>
In the game system 1 of this embodiment, the player can purchase a desired item at a shop on the game by consuming virtual currency. In this item purchase, a plurality of shops (shop 1, shop 2, shop 3...) Are set. Since the items that can be purchased at each shop are different, the player can purchase a desired item by selecting the shop.

<Browsing detailed information, guidance to play events>

When the server device 10 receives the lottery game start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes a lottery game process.

  Specifically, the lottery processing unit 111B selects a deck designated by the player with reference to the lottery information shown in FIG. Next, the lottery processing unit 111B refers to the deck information shown in FIG. 9 and gives a character randomly selected from a plurality of characters stored in the deck to the player. Next, the lottery processing unit 111B updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 12 so that the assigned character becomes a character owned by the player.

<Character composition processing>
(Reinforced synthesis)
When the player designates a base character and a material character and performs an operation for starting character reinforcement synthesis, the player terminal 20 transmits a reinforcement synthesis request to the server device 10.
When the server device 10 receives the enhanced composition request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes character composition processing (enhanced composition).

  Specifically, the composition processing unit 111C refers to the owned character information illustrated in FIG. 12 and selects a base character and a material character designated by the player from a plurality of characters owned by the player. Next, the composition processing unit 111C refers to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 12, and based on the current values of parameters such as the material character level, attack power, and defense power, the base character level, attack power, and defense power. And increase the current value of the parameter, and set the new current value parameter after the increase to the base character. Then, the composition processing unit 111C has the ownership shown in FIG. 12 so that the material character used for the composition does not become the character owned by the player, and the synthesized base character becomes the character owned by the player. Update character information.

(Evolution synthesis)
FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the character synthesis process (evolutionary synthesis) according to this embodiment.

  First, when the player designates a base character and performs an operation for starting the evolution synthesis of the character, the player terminal 20 transmits an evolution synthesis request to the server device 10 (S101).

  Next, when receiving the evolutionary synthesis request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 selects all material characters associated with the base character (S102). That is, the composition processing unit 111C refers to the character information shown in FIG. 5 and the composition information shown in FIG. 6, and selects all material characters associated with the base character.

  Next, the server device 10 causes the game screen generation unit 113 to generate screen data (HTML file) for displaying the evolution synthesis game screen (Web page) on the player terminal 20 (S103).

  Specifically, the composition processing unit 111C refers to the owned character information shown in FIG. 12 and the composition information shown in FIG. 6 to determine whether or not the player owns all the material characters associated with the base character ( It is determined whether or not the synthesis condition is satisfied. When the determination is affirmed, the synthesis processing unit 111C causes the game screen generation unit 113 to generate the evolution synthesis game screen 50 shown in FIG. Next, if such a determination is denied, the composition processing unit 111C refers to the character picture book information shown in FIG. 14, and the player has owned all the material characters associated with the base character so far. It is determined whether or not there is. Then, the synthesis processing unit 111C causes the game screen generation unit 113 to generate the evolution synthesis game screen 60 shown in FIG. 19 according to the determination result.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the evolution synthesis game screen 50 when all the material characters have been acquired. The evolution synthesis game screen 50 includes a base character display area 51, a material character display area 52, and operation buttons 53. Since the player has acquired all the material characters, the character images of all the material characters arranged in the material character display area 52 are clearly displayed. Therefore, when the player selects the operation button 53, all the material characters (“character B”, “character C”, “character D”) can be combined with the base character (“character A”).

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen 60 for evolutionary synthesis when all material characters have not been acquired. The evolution synthesis game screen 60 has a base character display area 61, a material character display area 62, and operation buttons 63. In the material character display area 62, material characters 621 to 623 are arranged. Since the material character 621 is a character owned by the player, the character image is clearly displayed. Since the material character 622 is a character that the player does not own, the character image is in a non-display state (secret state).
