The figure which illustrates the battle | competition state of the monster which is an enemy boss character, and the unit developed by taking over between several users in the game which concerns on the embodiment.

Hereinafter, an embodiment when the present invention is applied to an online game system will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an environment in which the online game system according to the embodiment is used. In the figure, web server devices 2 and 3 are connected to a network 1 including the Internet, and portable terminals 4 and 5 serving as client devices used by a user in this system are connected to a wireless LAN access point (AP ) 6 or a base station 7 of a wireless communication network.

  The web server devices 2 and 3 are computers for realizing the online game system according to the present embodiment, and a plurality of web server devices 2 and 3 are installed in parallel to the network 1 to provide an online game service. In the present embodiment, only two units are shown for simplicity of explanation.

  On the other hand, the mobile terminals 4 and 5 on the client side include smartphones, feature phones, and the like, and are mobile phones that operate on an OS such as Android (registered trademark) and iOS (registered trademark). It may be a notebook personal computer, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, or the like. In any case, in the present embodiment, only two units are shown for the sake of simplicity of explanation, but the online game provided from the web server devices 2 and 3 in advance to both of these portable terminals 4 and 5 is shown. It is assumed that a game application program is installed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 shows the concept of the game environment provided by the web server devices 2 and 3. As shown in the figure, in this game system, a user battles against an enemy boss character on an individual basis. Each user takes over the attack elements owned by other users who lost the previous battle against the same enemy character in addition to the attack elements they own (shown as “action” in the figure). can do.

  FIG. 2A shows a state in which the user 1 battles an enemy boss character using “action 1” as an attack element. Here, “action n (n = 1, 2,...)” Means, for example, the soldiers, the number of people, the arrangement of the units, the deck configuration in the card battle, This is information regarding the attack of the user n at the time of a battle with an enemy including a skill, a weapon or the like that the user has selected to use during the battle. At the beginning of the match, the hit points of both the enemy boss character and “Action 1” by the first user 1 are assumed to start at the maximum value set at that time.

  When the enemy boss character wins in this battle, the “action 1” used by the losing user 1 is stored on the web server device 2, 3 side, and then the user 2 fights against the same enemy boss character. Is inherited by

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the user 2 battles the enemy boss character, the user 2 uses “action 2” as an attack element prepared by the user 2, You can also play against enemy boss characters using "Action 1" together. Even at the beginning of the battle, the enemy boss character and the hit points of “action 1” and “action 2” are all started at the maximum value set at that time.

  Furthermore, when the user 2 loses to the enemy boss character, the “action 2” used by the losing user 2 is also stored on the web server devices 2 and 3 side, and then battles against the same enemy boss character. Inherited by user 3

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), when the user 3 plays against the enemy boss character, the user 3 uses the “action 3” as an attack element prepared by the user 3 and the users 1 and 2 use it. “Action 1” and “Action 2” can be used together to play against enemy boss characters. Even at the beginning of this battle, the enemy boss character and the hit points of “action 1” to “action 3” are all started at the maximum value set at that time.

  In this way, while the enemy boss character continues to win, the “action 1, 2,...” As the attack element used by each user who has competed is inherited by the next user, and the attack on the user side gradually The power increases, and it becomes more likely to be an enemy boss character.

  And, when the user wins the battle against the enemy boss character, the “action” that can be used by each user does not change, but the “action” as an attack element inherited by the next user who battles with the enemy boss character. “1, 2,...” Are reset and disappear. At this time, some bonus privilege may be given to all the users who have played against the enemy boss character until then.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing contents related to the strategy simulation game executed by the web server devices 2 and 3. In the following description, it is assumed that the web server device 2 executes processing and provides a game environment to the mobile terminal 4 or 5 that has requested a battle.

  In the strategy simulation game shown below, it is assumed that the “action” used by the terminal user as an attack element is a unit composed of a plurality of soldiers, and this unit is arranged around an enemy boss character to perform a battle. Do. The characteristics and strength of the individual soldiers constituting the unit can be arbitrarily set within the range given by the user, and the victory or defeat is determined by the overall strength of the entire unit and the enemy boss character.

  In this embodiment, the battle itself is a game by a non-player character (NPC), and the user does not operate not only the enemy boss character but also the individual soldiers on the ally side by the web server device 2. Shall be executed automatically.

The web server device 2 waits for a battle request via the network 1 at the beginning of processing (step S101).
When a request for a battle is received from the mobile terminal 4, the web server device 2 determines that there is a request in step S101, and a user who has played against the boss character in the past in association with the enemy boss character at that time. It is determined whether or not the data of the possessed unit is stored, in other words, whether or not the boss character has won against another user at least once (step S102).

  In this case, in addition, the mobile terminals 4 and 5 are registered as members in the web server device 2 in advance as the same group, and the web server device 2 side divides the battle results with the enemy boss character for each of a plurality of groups. By storing individually, the web server device 2 can provide a game environment using the storage result of the battle in the same group to the mobile terminals 4 and 5 that have received the battle request.

  Therefore, when a user battles an enemy boss character in the above game, by adding a restriction that the same group as other users must be formed in advance, the user forms the same group, for example, It is necessary to register or participate in a friend or hobby community in SNS (social networking service) in advance, and social properties in the game can be further improved.

  Here, if it is determined that the data of the front unit is stored in association with each other, the data is read out and expanded in the battle field in the virtual space of the game, and displayed on the display on the mobile terminals 4 and 5 (steps). S103).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S102 that the data of the front unit is not stored, the user who has requested the battle is the first battle with the boss character, and the processing in step S103 is not performed. .

Thereafter, the web server device 2 develops an image of the enemy boss character again in the battle field, and displays it on the display of the portable terminal 4 (step S104).
In the mobile terminal 4 on which the boss character is displayed, a previously prepared unit is arranged and displayed at an arbitrary position in the battle field (step S105).

  FIG. 4 (A) shows the first unit consisting of six soldiers S1, S1,... On the front side of the monster M on the screen of the monster M as an enemy boss character in the battle field BF. An example of a state of being hardened on the left side of FIG. This state corresponds to FIG. 2A, and the first unit composed of six soldiers S1, S1,... Corresponds to “action 1” as an attack element.

  When the arrangement of the enemy team is completed in this way, the web server device 2 executes the battle between the first unit and the monster M as a game by NPC as described above after waiting for the completion of preparation by the user's instruction operation as necessary. (Step S106) As a result, it is determined whether or not the user side wins from the combined strength of both (Step S107).

  If it is determined that the monster M as an enemy boss character has won instead of the user side, the web server device 2 transmits and displays an image of losing to the portable terminal 4 and is used by the user side. After storing the data of the first unit (step S110), the process returns to the process from step S101 again to wait for the next opponent to appear.

  For example, when the mobile terminal 5 makes a request for a battle as the second user, the web server device 2 determines that there is a request in step S101, and then associates it with the monster M in step S102. It is determined that the data of the first unit shown in A) is stored, and in step S103, the data is read out, developed in the battle field in the game virtual space, and displayed on the display on the portable terminal 5 side. .

  Further, the web server device 2 expands the image of the monster M in step S <b> 104 and displays it on the display of the mobile terminal 5. In the portable terminal 5 on which the monster M is displayed, the unit prepared in advance in step S105 is arranged and displayed at an arbitrary position in the battle field.

  FIG. 4B shows that the second user has four soldiers prepared by himself in addition to the first unit consisting of six soldiers S1, S1,... Used by the previous user in the battlefield BF. The second unit composed of S2, S2,... Is illustrated in a state where it is arranged in front of the monster M, on the right side of the screen. This state corresponds to FIG. 2B, and the second unit composed of four soldiers S2, S2,... Corresponds to “action 2” as an attack element.

  When the placement of the enemy team is completed in this way, the web server device 2 executes a battle between the first and second units and the monster M as a NPC game in step S106. Based on the result, the user wins in step S107. It is determined whether or not.

  Here again, when it is determined that the monster M as an enemy boss character has won instead of the user side, the web server device 2 transmits and displays an image for declaring the loss to the portable terminal 5 in step S110. At the same time, after the data of the second unit used by the user 2 is added and stored, the process returns to step S101 again to wait for the next opponent to appear.

  As a third user, for example, when another mobile terminal requests a battle, the web server device 2 determines that there is a request in step S101, and then associates it with the monster M in step S102. It is determined that the data of the first and second units shown in 4 (B) is stored, and the data is read out in step S103 and developed in the battle field in the virtual space of the game. Display on the display.

  Further, the web server device 2 expands the image of the monster M in step S <b> 104 and displays it on the display of the mobile terminal 5. In the portable terminal on which the monster M is displayed, the unit prepared in advance in step S105 is arranged and displayed at an arbitrary position in the battle field.

  FIG. 4C shows a first unit consisting of six soldiers S1, S1,... Used by the previous user in the battlefield BF by the third user, and four soldiers S2, S2,. In addition to the second unit, a third unit consisting of six soldiers S3, S3,... Prepared by itself is illustrated in such a manner that three people are distributed and sandwiched between the left and right of the monster M. . This state corresponds to FIG. 2C, and a third unit composed of six soldiers S3, S3,... Corresponds to “action 3” as an attack element.

  When the placement of the allies is completed in this way, in step S106, the web server device 2 executes a battle between the first to third units and the monster M as a NPC game, and based on the result, the user wins in step S107. It is determined whether or not.

  When the user side finally wins, when the web server device 2 determines the user's victory in 107, the bonus privilege corresponding to the strength level of the monster M is given to the three users who participated in the battle so far. For example, the virtual currency, coins, points, etc. in this online game are divided by the number of times they participated in the battle, and each user is notified of the victory of the monster M (step S108).

  After that, the unit data stored for the monster M is cleared all at once (step S109), and then the processing returns to the above-described step S101 so as to start the battle with the monster M from the beginning.

  As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, since the data of the other user's unit that lost the battle against the monster M will be taken over and the battle will be performed, the connection with other users is utilized. Each user can individually enjoy the game regardless of the operation pace of other users.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the number and arrangement of user characters are stored as unit information has been described in order to simplify the description. By adopting such a game configuration, the most basic battle in the strategy simulation game can be realized.

  In addition, as information about the user character, for example, it is possible to set a group composed of a plurality of user characters, items used by the user character in the battle, skills used by the user character in the battle, etc. By making it arbitrarily settable, it is possible to realize a game environment with more extensibility by considering cooperation with other user characters.

  In the above embodiment, when the enemy boss character monster M is won, the previous unit data stored up to that point is cleared, so that the same enemy boss character is repeatedly battled. In this case, as the unit you are using becomes gradually stronger, you can gradually reduce the number of data of the previous unit used in the process until you win the enemy boss character, You can feel that the troops are strengthened within.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when an enemy boss character is won, a bonus privilege is given to all users who have participated in the battle so far, so only one user can win the enemy boss character. Even in such a situation, the user can actively participate in the battle and can revitalize the game environment.

  In the above embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the enemy boss character is a monster M, and the friend user side is a unit composed of a plurality of soldiers. The invention is not limited to such a setting, and is suitable for other battle-type games, in particular, a strategy simulation game in which a plurality of characters on the side are arranged to fight against a powerful enemy.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, the functions executed in the above-described embodiments may be combined as appropriate as possible.
