FIG. 4 is an exemplary and schematic diagram showing an example of the quest selection screen according to the embodiment.

An image 400 shown in FIG. 4 is an example of a consecutive battle selection screen. This image 400 includes multiple buttons 410, 420, and 430. Button 410 is the first button that accepts the selection of the battle mode "Continuous battle", button 420 is the second button that accepts the selection of the battle mode "Puzzle", and button 430 is the first button that accepts the selection of the battle mode "Sequential battle". This is a third button that accepts selection of a mode (for example, a battle mode set in stages according to the difficulty level, not shown).

A battle mode called "continuous battle" that can be selected by the first button 410 is a mode in which multiple battles without deck changes are executed as one set. Furthermore, a battle mode called "puzzle" which can be selected by the second button 402 is a mode in which steps for achieving conditions specified by the operator in a battle are provided as a puzzle.

In the above-mentioned "continuous battle", if the rules change for each battle, the interest will be further improved. Therefore, in a "continuous battle", for example, before the start of each battle, at least one game effect is selectively selected from a plurality of preset game effects that can be generated during a battle using a competitive game. The at least one game effect is determined, and the at least one game effect occurs during a competition using a competition game. Note that the multiple game effects are not limited to the first game effect that occurs to adjust information related to the rules of the competitive game, which is different from the information tied to the game medium, but also include information tied to the game medium. It may also include a second game effect that occurs to adjust.

More specifically, in the embodiment, a game effect selection screen (image 500 shown in FIG. The user's arbitrary selection is accepted through the game effect selection screen (see above), and the game effect is selectively determined based on the user's arbitrary selection received through the game effect selection screen.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary and schematic diagram showing an example of the game effect selection screen according to the embodiment.

The image 500 shown in FIG. 5 shows each of the multiple battles provided as one set in the "continuous battle" after the "continuous battle" is selected via the above image 400 (see FIG. 4). This is an example of a game effect selection screen displayed on the display 110A before the game starts.

Image 500 includes areas 510, 520, and 530 in which user-selectable game effects are displayed. Game effects occur during battles in such a way that the player or the character associated with the player (more specifically, the player character controlled by the player) exhibits special abilities. It is also sometimes expressed as "ability".

Area 510 includes an area 511 in which the name of the ability is displayed, an image 512 showing the ability, an area 513 in which the explanation of the ability is displayed, and a button 514 that accepts a user's selection operation. Note that "class ability" displayed in the area 511 is a term meaning the above-mentioned second game effect. The image 512 also includes an image 512A showing a character corresponding to the ability, a frame 512B surrounding the image 512A, and a frame 512B in a manner that allows identification that the ability displayed in the image 512 is a "class ability." icon 512C displayed at the bottom of the screen.

As a specific example of "class ability", for example,
・When a player uses a game medium during a battle, if it is the fourth time in this turn, the ability to increase the status of a random player's game medium,
・The ability to increase the status of a specific game medium whenever the player uses that game medium;
・The ability to increase the damage dealt to enemy characters by the player consuming game media,
etc. are possible. The abilities that may be presented as "class abilities" are predetermined according to the class selected by the player when constructing the deck, so the possibilities of being presented as "class abilities" on the game effect selection screen are Certain abilities vary depending on the class selected by the player.

The basic display contents of areas 520 and 530 are the same as area 510 described above. More specifically, the area 520 (530) includes an area 521 (531) where the name of the ability is displayed, an image 522 (532) showing the ability, and an area 523 (533) where the explanation of the ability is displayed. button 524 (534) for accepting a user's selection operation. Note that the "neutral ability" displayed in the area 521 (531) is a term meaning the above-mentioned first game effect. The image 522 (532) also includes an image 522A (532A) showing a character corresponding to the ability, a frame 522B (532B) surrounding the image 522A (532A), and the ability displayed in the image 522 (532). It includes an icon 522C (532C) displayed at the bottom of the frame 522B (532B) in a manner that allows identification of "neutral ability", that is, a display manner different from the above-mentioned icon 512C.

Specific examples of "neutral ability" include:
・The ability to increase the maximum value of the player character's physical strength by +5 and restore the player character's physical strength by 5,
・Ability to add a special game medium to your hand at the start of your first turn ・Ability to draw 1 additional card from your deck in addition to the normal one (i.e. draw 2 cards in total) at the start of your turn ,
etc. are possible. Unlike the above "class abilities", abilities that may be presented as "neutral abilities" are predetermined regardless of the class selected by the player, so they are presented as "neutral abilities" on the game effect selection screen. As for the abilities that may be used, one of predetermined abilities is determined by lottery.

In addition, in the embodiment, the "class abilities" and "neutral abilities" presented to the user as options have a certain probability, and are enhanced versions of the basic abilities normally presented (for example, versions with increased status increases). ) may become a premium ability. Premium abilities are presented with a lower probability than basic abilities that are normally presented, and images showing premium abilities are displayed in a more visually luxurious (decorative) manner than images showing basic class abilities. Ru.

Additionally, on the upper right side of the image 500, there is an area 551 in which physical strength, which is one of the parameters related to the player character operated by the player (in a battle, if the physical strength of the player character becomes zero, you lose) is displayed. It is provided. In "Consecutive Battles", the setting is such that physical strength is carried over in multiple battles provided as one set (however, a certain amount of physical strength is recovered after each battle ends). Physical strength is displayed, for example, in the format of "number indicating current value/number indicating maximum value," but for example, if the maximum value of physical strength increases due to a game effect, the increased maximum value (for example, 21) will be different from the normal value. It may be displayed in a display mode different from the maximum value (20) (for example, a display mode in which the font color is changed). Such changes in the display mode can be performed not only on physical strength but also on various statuses or parameters that can change depending on game effects. Furthermore, on the upper right side of the image 500, there are a button 552 that accepts an operation to confirm the deck to be used in the "continuous battle" and a button 553 that accepts an operation to confirm the ability selected by the user in the current "continuous battle". , is provided.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, three abilities are displayed as selectable, but in the embodiment, two abilities may be displayed as selectable, or four or more abilities may be displayed as selectable. May be displayed. Further, the format is not limited to a format in which only one ability can be selected from a plurality of abilities, but a format in which two or more abilities can be selected at once from a plurality of abilities may be adopted.

Here, the ability lottery presented on the game effect selection screen will be briefly explained. The first lottery is performed after the user selects a deck from among "class abilities" that are predetermined according to the class of the deck and "neutral abilities" that are predetermined regardless of the class. The second to fourth lottery draws are performed after the first to third matches, respectively, and immediately before a consecutive battle preparation screen (see FIG. 6 and FIG. 10), which will be described later, is displayed. In this case, the continuous battle preparation screen is displayed after the user completes the ability selection.

The ability lottery process is performed, for example, as follows, using a lottery table prepared in advance, before the start of each of the first to fourth games.
1. Referring to the first lottery table prepared in advance for the first lottery before the start of the X (1 to 4) game, which "class ability" and/or "neutral ability" is determined as a game effect It is determined whether the ability will be presented as an option on the selection screen and whether the ability to be presented will be a normal ability or a premium ability.
2. Then, by referring to the second lottery table prepared in advance for the second lottery before the start of the X (1 to 4)th match, the contents of "class ability" and/or "neutral ability" are determined. It is determined. For example, 1. above. , if it is decided to present a "class ability" that has become a premium ability as an option before the start of the Xth game, all "class abilities" that may be presented in the Xth game will be presented as options. The content of the ability to be presented is determined by referring to the second lottery table determined together with the probability.
3. 1 above. and 2. This process is repeated until three abilities to be presented as options are determined.

In addition, in the above-mentioned ability lottery process, adjustments are made so that the same three abilities are not presented as options, and adjustments are made so that the ability that the user has selected once is not presented as an option again. .

When an ability is selected via the game effect selection screen as described above before the start of the first battle in the "continuous battle", a continuation battle preparation screen as shown in FIG. 6 below is displayed on the display 110A. Ru.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary and schematic diagram showing an example of a continuous battle preparation screen according to the embodiment.

On the other hand, in areas 921 to 923, abilities that are different from the abilities unique to "continuous battles" and that are given to enemy characters by the opponent's operation of the game medium are displayed. These areas 910, 921 to 923 are displayed on the battle screen by performing a predetermined operation while the battle is in progress. Here, since the enemy character in the "continuous battle" is usually a non-player character who fights against the player according to a predetermined program without human operation, the abilities displayed in the area 910 are determined by the player's selection. It is an ability that is predetermined according to the enemy character and is not based on the enemy character. Note that although an example is described here in which not only the player character but also the enemy character is given abilities unique to "Sequential Battles," in the embodiment, it is not necessary that the enemy character be given abilities. , a configuration in which only the player character is given abilities is also conceivable.

The second and subsequent battles in the "continuous battle" will be briefly explained below.

For example, in the embodiment, if the selection of the second ability is completed before the start of the second battle in a "continuous battle", the consecutive battle preparation screen is displayed in the manner shown in Figure 10 below. Ru.

FIG. 10 is an exemplary and schematic diagram showing an example of the continuous battle preparation screen different from FIG. 6 according to the embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 10, elements common to those in the example shown in FIG. 6 are given the same reference numerals, and therefore elements different from the example shown in FIG. 6 will be mainly described below.

As mentioned above, the image 1000 shown in FIG. 10 shows the situation before the start of the second match of the "continuous battle". Therefore, in the area 1101 of the image 1000, an image 672 showing the enemy character to be fought for the second time and an image 672A showing the physical strength of the enemy character are displayed in the area 612, and an arrow is displayed above the area 612. A shaped object 690 is displayed. Also displayed in the image 1000 is a button 1102 that accepts an operation to start the next match (that is, the second match). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the image 671 showing the enemy character to be fought for the first time and the image 671A showing the physical strength of the enemy character are grayed out, making it clear that the first match has ended. There is. Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the physical strength shown by the image 672A is different from the physical strength of the enemy character that you will fight for the first time (see image 671A), but the physical strength of the enemy character is the same in each battle. Good too.

Immediately after each match in the "continuous battle" ends, a match result screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display 110A.

FIG. 11 is an exemplary and schematic diagram showing an example of a match result screen according to the embodiment.

An image 1100 shown in FIG. 11 is an example of a match result screen displayed on display 110A immediately after the fourth match ends. This image 1100 includes an area 1110 in which the current number of wins in the "continuous battle" is displayed, an area 1120 in which the current physical strength of the player character is displayed, and a region 1120 in which the current number of wins in the "continuous battle" is displayed, and a region 1120 in which the player character's current physical strength is displayed. It includes an area 1130 where the ability selected by is displayed, and an area 1101 where is provided.

As explained above, the system according to the embodiment is a system for providing users with a competitive game using a deck including a predetermined number of game media selected from a plurality of game media. A first game that is a plurality of game effects that are preset to be generated at a time, and that occurs to adjust information regarding rules of a competitive game that is different from information tied to the game medium. At least one game effect is selectively determined from a plurality of game effects including effects, and processing is performed to generate the selectively determined at least one game effect during a battle using a battle game. These processes are executed on the terminal device 110 side, for example, under the initiative of the server device 120.

According to the above-described configuration, the rules of the battle are appropriately changed depending on at least one selectively determined game effect, so that the interest of the battle game can be further improved.

In addition, in the embodiment, a battle mode ("continuous battle") that provides one set of multiple battles that do not include deck changes is executed, and at least one of the above game effects is applied during the execution of the battle mode. Selective decisions are made multiple times. According to such a configuration, a plurality of game effects are generated in duplicate each time a battle is played, so that the interest of the battle game can be further improved.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, the plurality of game effects described above further include a second game effect that occurs to adjust information tied to the game content. According to such a configuration, the interest of the competitive game can be further improved by adding the second game effect, compared to, for example, a case where only the first game effect is targeted.

Note that in embodiments, the selective determination of the at least one game effect is performed based on an arbitrary selection of the user received via the user interface. According to such a configuration, since the user can arbitrarily select the game effect that occurs during the battle, it is possible to further improve the interest of the battle game.

Further, in the embodiment, a user's arbitrary selection is accepted via a game effect selection screen serving as a user interface that selectably displays a predetermined number of game effects determined by lottery from a plurality of game effects. According to such a configuration, the user can visually and easily select a game effect via the game effect selection screen.

Further, in the embodiment, the first game effect and the second game effect are displayed in a visually distinguishable manner on the game effect selection screen. According to such a configuration, the user can easily visually distinguish the first game effect and the second game effect.
