JP 2001-137534 A JP, 2008-220984, A Patent No. 4693936 gazette

In a so-called deck battle type game including the above conventional game, generally, a player or a character (hereinafter simply referred to as a "player") is prepared in advance as a game setting for a card battle (battle) using a character card. From among the plurality of character cards (for example, character cards as items owned by the player), a limited number of character cards (deck configuration characters) constituting the deck of the player are selected. At this time, the player may create his / her deck constituent characters by combining them arbitrarily and as desired, for example, by confirming or predicting the personality (strength, strength, etc.) of the enemy character and the opponent player. Can.

However, in such a conventional game, once a deck (set of deck configuration characters) is created, the deck configuration can not be changed in one battle event (also called quest or turn, etc.), and the deck configuration is fixed. The attack against the enemy character and the opponent character by the deck is configured to be automatically performed. Then, the player only selects a character card, or continuously strikes, for example, a button or a switch or the like for instructing an attack on an enemy character or an opponent character, in a battle event which is a main interest factor of the game. It was only possible to do very tedious work.

Also, the type and strength of attacks on enemy characters and opponent characters are usually determined in accordance with the type, personality, attribute, level, etc. of characters constituting the deck,
Since the deck configuration is fixed and can not be changed, even if multiple attacks are possible in one match event, the variation of the attack is limited, and the match event itself is uniform. In some cases, when the deck is configured, there is a disadvantage that the player can predict where the battle will go (the outcome) to some extent.

As a result, the whole event or event of the match is diminished or lost, and there is a problem that the player can not be motivated to participate in the game or to continue the game.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can draw out the ingenuity of the player and improve the interest and taste of the battle event, which has been conventionally converted to a monotonous task, thereby the player A server device capable of providing a game capable of enhancing game participation and continuation by the game and amplifying or enhancing the fun and excitement of the whole game, a control method thereof, a program, and a game system The purpose is

In order to solve the above problems, a server device according to the present invention first provides a game connected to a terminal device operated by a player (game user, client) via a communication line and including a predetermined competition event. The information storage unit stores information related to the game, and the control unit accesses the information, executes an operation related to the game, and causes the terminal device to display an image of the game.

Then, the information storage unit corresponds to each of a plurality of types of player characters associated with a predetermined battle event, at least one type of enemy character (opposite character), and each player character as a part of information related to a game. (Representing the player character)
It has information on game media. In addition, the control unit is configured to allow the player to select at least one desired game medium for attacking the enemy character from among the plurality of game media at the time of the predetermined competition event. The game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field when the player selects a desired game medium from the game mediums displayed in the first field, and displays the game medium in the first field of It may be deleted from the display screen of the terminal device, or may be moved to an area other than the first field and displayed, such as a second field described later), a new alternative to the removed game medium The game medium is added to the first field.

Note that “game media” indicates contents or items that the player can possess or manage in the game, and, for example, character cards, avatars, figures, etc. to which player characters are associated can be mentioned. These are concepts that are handled in a virtual space (virtual game space) on a game, and include what are also called so-called "objects" and the like. In addition, “game media” are those that directly evoke the player character but also indirectly recall it (eg, the player character's name, name, weapon, clothes, costume, spell, magic, skill, related character, etc.) And may be
It may be displayed as a still image or as a moving image, or it may not be an image and may be represented by simple text information, and in some cases it may not be visually recognized, such as audio information It may be recognizable only by hearing.

The player connects the terminal device to the server device configured in this way via the communication line,
It is possible to play games including predetermined match events online or offline. In the game, a control unit provided in the server device accesses information related to the game stored in the information storage unit, performs various operations related to the game using the information, and the game as a result of the operation While displaying the image on the terminal device as a game screen, it is possible to advance along the setting of the game.

Also, in a predetermined battle event of the game, the terminal unit
A plurality of game media corresponding to the player character are displayed in the first field of the display screen), and the player desirably selects a game media for attacking the enemy character from among the plurality of game media. be able to. Furthermore, from the first field,
The game media selected by the player are removed, and instead new game media are replenished in the first field at any time.

As described above, in the present invention, the so-called candidates of the game media selected by the player to attack the enemy character by the player character are temporarily displayed in the first field, and the player actually selects one of them. A game medium to be used for attacking an enemy character can be selected as appropriate. And since new game media are replenished to the first field at any time, the player can additionally select game media to be used for attacking the enemy character from the first field. As a result, the set of game media selected by the player (combination; corresponding to the above-described conventional deck configuration, for example) is not fixed and fixed at the battle event, but at one predetermined battle event, It may change sequentially and as desired depending on the player's choice intention. Thus, the player's intention or judgment is
It will be reflected in the outcome of the match event.

More specifically, the information storage unit further includes information of a first parameter value (amount) set for each player character and / or each game medium, as a part of the information related to the game. , And the type of game medium to be replenished based on the first parameter value when the control section replenishes the first field with a new game medium replacing the game medium removed from the first field It is also preferable to determine the corresponding player character.

In this case, in view of the fact that the player character and the corresponding game medium are associated with the battle event, the “first parameter” (not the value but the type of the parameter) is the player character's agility (action or attack) Quickness and agility), action points of each player character or multiple player characters (action point; AP, etc.)
And physical strength or vitality (hit points; HP, etc.), attack power against enemy characters, strength of techniques usable by the player character, and the like. "Based on the first parameter value"
Is determined not only when the type of game media to be replenished is uniformly determined by the first parameter value, but also according to the appearance probability weighted using the magnitude of the first parameter value Also included.

In this way, it is possible to predict to some extent the type of a new game medium to be replenished by the player, as compared with the case where the new game medium to be replenished in the first field is arbitrarily (randomly) determined. ) Easy to do. Thereby, when the player selects a desired game medium from the first field, for example, according to various attributes and the like set according to the type of game medium, a strategy or strategy for defeating the enemy character is selected. It becomes possible to formulate effectively and intentionally. As a result, the player's discretion in the match event is increased, and the player's intentions and judgments can be strongly reflected by the result of the match event.

More specifically, the information storage unit sets a second parameter value set for each player character and / or each game medium as a part of the information related to the game, and a predetermined battle event. The information processing apparatus further includes the information of the third parameter value that has been set, and the control unit is configured to set the total (total amount) of the second parameter values of the game medium selected by the player to the upper limit value of the third parameter value In addition, it is also preferable to configure to allow the player to select those game contents. Note that the third parameter value set for a predetermined battle event is set, for example, for each turn when the predetermined battle event can be composed of a plurality of battles called a so-called "turn". It can also be done.

As the “second parameter” and the “third parameter” (not the value but the type of parameter), the player character's agility (action or attack) is the same as the “first parameter” described above. Quickness), action points (action points; AP, etc.), physical strength or vitality (hit points; HP, etc.) of individual or multiple player characters of player character, attack power against enemy characters, skill of player character available Strength etc. can be illustrated. Also, the “second parameter” may be the same as or different from the “first parameter” and / or the “third parameter”, and the “third parameter” may be It may be the same as or different from the first parameter and / or the second parameter.

By doing this, it is possible for the player to set the sum of the second parameter values set in the game medium to be selected to the upper limit value of the third parameter value so as to be within the upper limit value of the third parameter value. It is required to select a set of game media for attacking the enemy character while comparing the upper limit values of the second parameter value and the third parameter value. As a result, for example, the battle event may be monotonous due to an easy selection such that the player selects only the game medium of the player character that can give a large damage to the enemy character. It is prevented. As a result, it is possible to apply an appropriate psychological and intellectual load to the player, and the player's discretion in the match event further increases.

In this case, the control unit sequentially subtracts the second parameter value of the game medium selected by the player from the third parameter value, and adds a predetermined amount to the third parameter value at an appropriate timing. Alternatively, the battle event may be continued by recovering the upper limit of the third parameter value. Here, “appropriate timing” is not particularly limited, and for example, as described above, when a predetermined match event can be composed of a plurality of matches (turns), with the passage of time in the middle of each turn, Alternatively, the upper limit value of the third parameter value may be restored based on the damage given to the enemy character by the player character. Alternatively, instead of or in addition to that, the aggregate value may be restored at the beginning or end of the turn.

Furthermore, the information storage unit has information on a plurality of types of tricks that each player character can attack against the enemy character as part of the information related to the game, and the damage given to the enemy character differs from each other. If there are a plurality of game media selected by the player and the plurality of game media include ones corresponding to the same player character, the control unit is a game media corresponding to the same player character According to the quantity
Determine a specific technique from among the multiple types of techniques that the same player character can use,
It can also be configured to give the enemy character the damage by the determined specific skill.

In such a configuration, for example, by intentionally and continuously selecting game media corresponding to the same player character, the player character can use a special technique different from that (normal skill) in addition to techniques (ordinary techniques) that can normally be used. A technique (eg, special move technique) can be activated (played out) on the enemy character. That is, in one battle event, a game element different from selecting a game medium is added, which significantly increases the variation of strategies and strategies for defeating the enemy character by the player, and the player's discretion There is more room available.

In addition, the control unit causes a plurality of game media to be displayed in the first field in a state of arranging the game media adjacent to each other (a sort of alignment state), and removes the game media selected by the player from the first field. The game media remaining in the first field is rearranged so as to fill or fill the area in which the game media were arranged, and the new game medium is replenished in the area (blank area) generated by the rearrangement. These remaining game media and the replenished new game media may be displayed adjacent to each other. In this case, movement (so-called fade-in, slide-in, etc.) in which the game medium moves may be displayed (dynamically displayed) as a moving image or the like.

Furthermore, it is easy for the control unit to confirm the player character of the game medium selected by the player, for example, in the same state or a different state as the state where the game medium selected by the player is displayed in the first field. In an appropriate manner, the second field different from the first field may be displayed again.

Further, a method of controlling a server device according to the present invention is a method for effectively controlling the server device of the present invention described above, that is, a terminal device operated by a player is connected via a communication line and a predetermined match event is Providing a game including the information storage unit storing information related to the game, and a server including a control unit that accesses the information, executes an operation related to the game, and causes the terminal device to display an image of the game It is a control method of an apparatus.

Then, in this method, first, in the information storage unit, as a part of the information related to the game, a plurality of types of player characters and at least one type of enemy character associated with a predetermined battle event, and each player character Information on game media corresponding to is stored. Then, the control unit is configured to allow the player to select at least one desired game medium for attacking the enemy character from among the plurality of game mediums at the time of the predetermined competition event. The game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field when the player selects a desired game medium from the game mediums displayed in the first field; Control is performed to replenish the first field with new game media replacing the removed game media.

Furthermore, the program according to the present invention provides a game connected to a terminal device operated by a player via a communication line and including a predetermined match event, and as a part of information related to the game, a predetermined match event. For causing a computer capable of accessing an information storage unit storing information of a plurality of types of player characters and at least one type of enemy characters associated with each other and game media corresponding to each player character to execute the following steps. It is a thing.

That is, in the step, the information is accessed, the operation related to the game is executed, and the image of the game is displayed on the terminal device. In the predetermined competition event, the player is an enemy character from among a plurality of game media. Displaying a plurality of game media in a first field of the terminal device so that at least one desired game media for attacking the game can be selected, and the game media displayed in the first field by the player The game media selected by the player are removed from the first field when a desired game media is selected from among the first game media, and a new game media replacing the removed game media is

That is, the arithmetic processing unit 101 functions as a "control unit" in the present invention. In addition to the above-described ROM 102 and RAM 103, and the external memory 106, various storage media in which information related to the game is recorded correspond to the "information storage unit" in the present invention.

Here, first, the player is the terminal device 2 (client computer 21 or portable terminal 2
2; Operate a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc.), and network 2 such as the Internet
The terminal device 2 is connected to the server device 100 via 00. Further, by the operation of the terminal device 2, the player selects a game provided from the server device 100, or inputs login information such as an ID number and a personal identification number on a platform screen before selecting a game. When the arithmetic processing unit 101 of the server device 100 recognizes the login information, the player unique personal page associated with the ID number is displayed on the terminal device 2 (step S).
1). Further, in the example of this game, a banner in which a plurality of scenes (for example, a location, a dungeon, a quest, etc.) set as the game scene are listed is displayed on the my page screen. Note that these locations, dungeons and quests may or may not be hierarchized as each other or as individual structures.

Next, when the player selects, for example, a battle-type quest (predetermined battle event) from the list of a plurality of scenes displayed on the terminal device 2, the preparation screen of the battle-type quest is a terminal device When the preparation of the selected competitive type quest is completed in the arithmetic processing unit 101, the introduction screen is displayed on the terminal device 2 (step S2). At this time, the display of the preparation screen or the introduction screen of the battle type quest may be a still image or a moving image, or may be a flash or the like. Then, the arithmetic processing unit 101 proceeds to the processing of the turn Tu (a step group surrounded by an alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 3) set in the competitive quest.

4 and 5, in the processing procedure of the turn Tu, first, an event field Fe and a pallet Fp are defined as a display area of the game image on the screen 2a of the terminal device 2, Display each component in the display area. In the event field Fe in the present embodiment, a player character C represented by a circle of a solid line shown
a to Cd (friend characters) are displayed as part of the components. In addition, the pallet Fp is a component of the character cards A31, B32, C33, D corresponding to the player characters Ca to Cd (representing the player characters Ca to Cd).
It is a kind of "place" that displays 34. That is, the pallet Fp corresponds to the "first field", and the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 correspond to the "game media".

FIG. 4 shows a plurality of character cards A31, B32, C at the start of a certain turn Tu.
The example of arrangement | positioning of 33 and D34 is shown. In the pallet Fp of the screen 2a at this time, three character cards A31 represented by rectangles of solid lines in the drawing and one character card B32, C33, D34 respectively represented in rectangles of solid lines in the drawings also, It is displayed in a state of being arranged adjacent to each other (in a state of being aligned in a line). Each one of the character cards A31 and C33 represented by a rectangle of a broken line in the figure is intended to be newly replenished later, and here, for convenience, they are displayed in the same drawing.

Here, in each of the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34, "agility" (quickness) specific to the player characters Ca to Cd represented by the first parameter value.
The agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (C), RP (D) of the screen 2a is a character card A3 in a mode that can be identified by the player.
1, B32, C33, and D34 are displayed. As a display mode of the "quickness",
It is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, numerical values, or may be graphic displays different in size, length, and quantity.

This "quickness" is the character card A31, B32, C33 that appears on the pallet Fp.
, D34, and the arithmetic processing unit 101 determines the agility
For example, based on the values of P (A), RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D), the appearance frequency of the character card corresponding to the player character with relatively high agility is relatively high. Perform such arithmetic processing. The player can select a desired character card from among the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 displayed on the screen 2a in this manner.

Here, in the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34, numerical values of "action point: AP" unique to the player characters Ca to Cd respectively represented are previously set. In addition, on the screen 2a, the values of these action points are character cards A31, B32, as AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D) in a manner that allows the player to identify them. It is displayed for each of C33 and D34. Furthermore, the total amount (AP total amount) of action points AP that can be consumed for this turn Tu is also set.

The action points specific to the player characters Ca to Cd also indicate the magnitude of damage that can be given to the enemy character described later by a normal skill set. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the player characters Ca to
Action points AP (A), AP (B), AP (C) and AP (D) specific to Cd are
The agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (specific to the above-mentioned player characters Ca to Cd
C), it is set to correlate with RP (D). For example, the player character whose agility RP is relatively large (quicker) has a smaller action point AP instead of a higher probability of appearing on the palette Fp. Conversely, the player character with relatively small agility RP (more sluggishness) has a lower probability of appearing on the palette Fp (a player character with relatively large agility RP appears and is used several times) The action point AP is set large instead of the fact that it does not easily appear).

Then, when the player selects a desired card from among the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34, the action point AP set for the selected character card is subtracted from the total amount of AP that can be consumed in the turn Tu. Be done. The player is that A
A desired character card can be selected continuously until the total amount of P becomes 0 (zero). In other words, the player can select a desired character card as long as the total action point AP of the selected character card does not exceed the total AP amount.

As described above, the action point AP corresponds to the “second parameter” and the “third parameter”, and the value of the action point AP unique to the player characters Ca to Cd corresponds to the “second parameter value”. Further, the total amount of AP that can be consumed in the turn Tu corresponds to the “third parameter value” and its “upper limit value”. The numerical change of the total amount of AP that can be consumed in the turn Tu is displayed as an AP gauge 61, for example, in an event field Fe as shown in FIG. 4 so that the player can easily recognize it (step S3).

The player uses the above settings to make the above-mentioned total amount of consumable AP, character card A 31
, B32, C33, and D34, action points AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D), and agility RP (A) specific to the player characters Ca to Cd, respectively. , RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D), while determining the character cards for attacking the enemy character sequentially while comparing and weighing the character cards A 31 once aligned and displayed on the pallet Fp. , B32, C33, and D34.

Next, the character cards A31 and C33 selected by the player are displayed on the pallet F.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is removed from p and re-displayed as selected character cards A41 and C43 in the event field Fe together with the player characters Ca to Cd. At this time, the selected character card displayed in the event field Fe is a pallet F
It may be displayed in the same state as the mode (shape, size, etc.) when displayed on p, or may be displayed in a state in which the entire shape is reduced as shown, for example.

In FIG. 4, three character cards A 31 and one character card C 33 selected by the player from the pallet Fp are transferred to the event field Fe, and are arranged adjacent to each other (shown in FIG. 4). Arrow Ya represents the trajectory of the "movement". In this case, the event field Fe corresponds to the "second field". Also, at this time, the action point AP indicated on the selected character card A31, C33 from the state in which the AP total amount is completely filled in the AP gauge 61 in the event field Fe.
A) The state in which 3 sheets + action point AP (C) × 1 sheet has been subtracted is highlighted with hatching.

Thus, when the character cards A31 and C33 are selected to attack the enemy character and they are moved and displayed from the pallet Fp to the event field Fe, the character cards A31 and C33 are arranged on the pallet Fp. There is a space once in the area that was being Immediately thereafter, the character cards B32 and D34 remaining on the pallet Fp move (slide) to the left toward the figure so as to fill or fill the blank area, and the new shown by the broken line rectangle in FIG. A new character card including the character cards A31 and C33 appears from the right direction toward the screen 2a and is replenished to the pallet Fp. FIG. 5 shows a state in which such remaining character cards B32 and D34, and three newly replenished character cards A31 and one character card C33 are rearranged adjacent to each other (here) Until step S4).

At this time, the arithmetic processing unit 101 causes the total AP amount in this turn Tu to be displayed on the AP gauge 61 to be larger than 0 (zero), and for example, the time elapsed from the start of the turn Tu to be longer than a predetermined time set in advance. It is always determined whether it is before (that is, before the elapse of a predetermined time) (step S5). When this condition is satisfied (Yes in step S5), the display of the event field Fe is continued in the upper area of the pallet Fp of the screen 2a. Then, the player can additionally select another character card from among the character cards rearranged as shown in the pallet Fp in FIG.

On the other hand, when the condition is not satisfied (No in step S5), the arithmetic processing unit 101 shifts the process to the next step (that is, the battle step). In that case, as shown in FIG. 5, a battle field Fb is displayed in the upper area of the pallet Fp on the screen 2a, instead of the event field Fe. In addition to the player characters Ca to Cd displayed earlier, enemy characters Ea to Ec are displayed on the battle field Fb as the components. Also, at that time, the player characters Ca to Cd are displayed in another mode, for example, symbolizing being in the battle state, unlike the mode (shape, arrangement, etc.) displayed in the event field Fe. You may

Further, prior to the start of the battle, for example, so-called hit points HP as physical strength and vitality are set to the player characters Ca to Cd. Then, in the battle, for example, when the player characters Ca to Cd stop attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec, or after repeating the turn Tu a predetermined number of times, the player characters Ca to Cd are determined by the enemy characters Ea to Ec. It is set to be attacked. Then, when the enemy character receives an attack, the hit points HP of the player characters Ca to Cd decrease according to the attack power. The total HP amount of the player characters Ca to Cd is displayed as the HP gauge 62 in the battle field Fb, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 so that the player can easily view.

Here, for each of the player characters Ca to Cd, for example, the enemy characters Ea to E can be selected as a plurality of types of attack techniques that can be extended (activated) to the enemy characters Ea to Ec.
The "normal skill" that causes relatively little damage to c and the "special move" that has relatively large damage are set in advance. In addition, these ordinary skills and special moves are the enemy characters Ea to Ec.
The damage that can be given to the player may be set as a steady value at all times, for example, the attributes (strength level, experience level, etc.) of the player characters Ca to Cd and / or the enemy characters Ea to Ec, the player character Ca It may be set to change as appropriate according to the compatibility between Cd and the enemy character, the type of the battle type quest, and the like.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the vicinity of each player character, a numerical value is displayed which indicates how many times the enemy character is attacked as a "normal skill" and the "special move" is activated. For example,
In FIG. 5, in the figure 8 arranged in the vicinity of the player character Ca, information is shown that the special move is activated by the “3” attacks after the normal skill, and the figure of the player character Cc In the figure 8 arranged in the vicinity, information is displayed that the special move is activated by the “one” attack after the normal move.

In this setting, in the example shown in FIG. 5, if the player character Ca draws "normal skill" three more times consecutively to the enemy characters Ea to Ec, for example, before being attacked by the enemy characters, a plurality of times A combination of ordinary skills (so-called "combo") occurs, and the "special move" is activated as a reward. The arithmetic processing unit 101 determines whether or not this combo has occurred (step S7), and when the condition is satisfied (Yes in step S7), a screen on which the "special move" of the player character Ca is activated (special move activation The screen is displayed on the screen 2a (step S8). As a result, it is possible to give the enemy characters Ea to Ec a greater damage. Similarly, the player character Cc is the enemy character Ea to Ec.
On the other hand, when the "ordinary skill" is drawn one more time, a combo is established and the "special move" is activated, and a special move activation screen of the player character Cc is displayed on the screen 2a (step S8). Note that
The player can, for example, designate one particular enemy character from among the enemy characters Ea to Ec and attack them in a concentrated manner.

As described above, the player can select the same character card plural times in succession, and the same player character corresponding to the character card can play out the "normal skill" plural times in succession to the enemy character. If so, a combo will occur and a "special move" can be activated. Therefore, in order to advantageously develop the battle with the enemy character in the turn Tu, the player can spend A within the limited time in step S4 described above.
In addition to weighing the total amount of P, the action points AP specific to the player characters Ca to Cd, and the agility RP, it is required to develop a high-level strategy or strategy, such as how to generate a combo. It becomes.

Although not shown, numerical information may be displayed in the vicinity of each enemy character to indicate how many times the enemy character is attacked when attacking the player character. In this way, the player can confirm the timing at which the attack by the enemy character is performed (in other words, how many times it is possible to attack the enemy character before the attack by the enemy character) Therefore, while taking the information into consideration, the interest of selecting a suitable character card from the pallet Fp is increased.

On the other hand, when any one of the player characters Ca to Cd can not continuously play out the “normal skill” attack a plurality of times in the turn Tu (step S7, the combo is not generated). No, for example, the battle ends, and the result is displayed on the screen 2a (step S9). As a battle result, for example, the remaining amount such as the physical strength or vitality of the enemy characters Ea to Ec, which is an index of damage given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec, the remaining amount of total AP (final state of the AP gauge 61 in the turn Tu And the remaining amount of HP total amount (final state of HP gauge 62 in turn Tu).

The execution of the above steps S3 to S9 completes the first (first) turn Tu, and the processing unit 101 determines whether the remaining AP amount is larger than 0 and the remaining HP amount is larger than 0. (Step S10). If the condition is satisfied, that is, if both action point AP and hit point HP remain, the turn Tu (2 of the battle type quest)
Can be repeatedly executed again. On the other hand, when the condition is not satisfied, that is, when at least one of the action point AP and the hit point HP does not remain, this battle type quest is ended, and the game is ended if necessary.

According to the server apparatus 100 configured as described above, the control method thereof, the game program, and the game system 1, the character cards A31 and B32 selected by the player in order for the player characters Ca to Cd to attack the enemy characters Ea to Ec. , C33, and D34 are temporarily displayed on the pallet Fp, and the player can appropriately select a character card to be used for attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec among them. Then, since another new character card is replenished to the pallet Fp, the player can additionally select a character card to be used for attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec from the pallet Fp.

Thereby, the player can change the configuration of the character card set for attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec sequentially and as desired according to his / her choice intention.
Therefore, the player's intention and judgment (good or bad of the strategy and strategy assembled by the player) are effectively reflected in the outcome of the match event, and as a result, the player's ingenuity in the match event is extracted It is possible to improve the interest and taste of the battle event, which had become a common task. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently enhance the player's willingness to participate in the game or to continue the game, and it is possible to amplify or enhance the fun and the examination of the whole game.

In addition, for the player, the total amount of consumable AP set for the turn Tu within a certain limited time, and the unique action point AP set for the player characters Ca to Cd.
Since it is required to efficiently select a tactically effective character card while comparing the agility RP and the agility RP, the player's discretion in the battle type quest can be increased, and by the player It can also satisfy interesting needs. In addition, in order to win the battle with the enemy characters Ea to Ec, it is also necessary to formulate a more advanced and thorough strategy or strategy, such as how to generate a combo capable of delivering a "special move". Therefore, the player's discretion in the battle type quest can be further increased. As a result, it is possible to further amplify or enhance the fun and taste of the whole game, and to further synergistically increase the player's willingness to participate in the game.

Note that, as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, although the configuration of the server apparatus 100 shown in FIG.
This also applies to the client computer 21 and the portable terminal 22 that are Conversely, it is also possible to use the client computer 21 and the portable terminal 22 as the server device 100. That is, any of the computer devices connected via the network 200 can function as a server device.

Furthermore, the server apparatus 100 is configured to perform the same function as a memory device loaded in the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, and the slot drive 108 using a mass storage device such as a hard disk or an SSD. These storage devices may or may not be redundant according to RAID or the like, and may not be connected to the processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120, for example, cloud computing May be connected to another external device or the like via the network 200 as part of the network.

Furthermore, as a network interface in the server apparatus 100 and the terminal apparatus 2, any of a wireless LAN apparatus and a wired LAN apparatus may be used, and they may be mounted inside or may be of an external device type such as a LAN card. . Furthermore, as the terminal device 2, a game machine connectable to the network 200 may be used, and it is also possible to use, for example, a communication karaoke device.

In addition, the game setting in the battle event is not limited to the specific example in the above embodiment. For example, it is possible to advance a battle event in cooperation with other players participating in the game system 1, in which case the attack on the enemy character by the player character of the player character and the player character of the other player acts as a combo. When it occurs,
It may be possible to activate another technique (for example, “joint special technique” if named) whose attack power is even larger than that of each “special move”. In addition, the player selects only the character card with a small agility RP and a large action point AP.
If the number of occurrences of combos is disadvantageously increased (if the expected limit is exceeded), processing may be performed to increase the frequency of attacks by enemy characters in order to increase the degree of difficulty. As a method for that purpose, there is, for example, a process of appropriately reducing the number of times of attack by the enemy character described above.

As described above, the server device of the present invention, its control method, program, and game system draw out the ingenuity of the player in the match event, and improve the interest and taste of the match event which has conventionally been changed to a monotonous task. In particular, in the server-client type network configuration, since it is possible to increase the player's motivation to participate in and continue the game, and to amplify or enhance the fun and taste of the whole game. Widely and effectively use it for all games to be delivered, provided, implemented etc., all software and hardware related technologies related to the delivery, offer, implementation etc of the game, and further, activities such as design, manufacture, sales etc. be able to.
