The controller 5 may have, for example, a joystick or a touch pad instead or in addition to the above.

<2. Outline of game>
Next, an example of outline contents of a game according to the present embodiment, that is, a game provided by the information processing device 3 executing the game program and the game processing method of the present invention will be described.

  The game according to the present embodiment is a so-called action role playing game in which an ally character battles with an enemy character while advancing a story. The ally characters include a player character operable by the player and a non-player character operated by the game program. The battle is performed directly on the game field when the teammate character encounters an enemy character on the game field, and the player character acts in real time in conjunction with the operation of the player.

  The character (an example of an object) appearing in the game may be, for example, a male male character, a female character, an animal character other than human, a virtual creature character other than human or animal, etc. For example, an object other than an organism etc. May be.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, on the map screen in which the current position of each character is displayed as a character icon during battle, information related to the character is totaled for each predetermined section, and the totalization icon is It is generated and displayed on the map screen. The contents will be described in detail below.

<3. Functional configuration of information processing apparatus>
Next, an example of a functional configuration of the information processing device 3 will be described using FIGS. 2 and 3 to 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 3 includes a battle execution processing unit 13, a map display processing unit 15, a character icon display processing unit 17, an information aggregation processing unit 19, a battle status determination processing unit 21, and aggregation. It has an icon generation processing unit 23, a totalized icon display processing unit 25, and a player character switching processing unit 27.

  The battle execution processing unit 13 executes a battle between the ally character and the enemy character. The ally character (an example of the ally object) is composed of a plurality of characters including at least one player character and at least one non-player character. However, the teammate character may be one player character. An enemy character (an example of an enemy object) is composed of a plurality of characters. The player character (an example of a player object) is directly operated by the player and moves on the game field to attack an enemy character. The non player character is automatically controlled by a predetermined algorithm (so-called game AI) defined by the game program, and moves on the game field to attack the enemy character.

  The map display processing unit 15 displays the map screen on the periphery of the game field screen. As a result, the player can operate the player character on the game field while checking the current positions of the teammate character and the enemy character by referring to the map screen. The map display processing unit 15 may always display the map superimposed on the game field, or normally, only the game field screen is displayed and the map is displayed when a predetermined operation input is made by the player. It may be displayed overlapping. In addition, when a predetermined operation input is made by the player, the game field screen may be switched to the map screen to display the map on the full screen.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of map display by the map display processing unit 15. In the example shown in FIG. 3, on the game field screen 33, four ally characters 29A to 29D and a plurality of enemy characters 31 are fighting. The four ally characters 29A to 29D are composed of a player character 29A and the remaining non player characters 29B to 29D. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the player character 29A is equipped with, for example, a weapon as a weapon, and the non-player characters 29B to 29D are equipped with, for example, a bow and arrow, a sword, and a weapon. The number, arrangement, and equipment of the ally characters 29 and the enemy characters 31 are merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the example shown in FIG. Also, the non-player characters 29B-29D may act outside the screen.

  A map screen 35 is displayed superimposed on the game field screen 33 at the periphery of the game field screen 33, in the upper left corner in the example shown in FIG. Note that the display position of the map screen 35 may be changed according to the battle situation or the like, or the visibility of the game field screen 33 may be improved, for example, as semi-transparent. On the map screen 35, an ally character icon 37 indicating the current position of each ally character 29 and an enemy character icon 39 indicating the current position of each enemy character 31 are displayed. The ally character icon 37 is displayed so as to distinguish which ally character is the player character. Further, information related to the enemy character 31 is totaled for each predetermined section, and a totalization icon 41 generated based on the totalization result is displayed. Details of the aggregation icon 41 will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, the enemy character icons 39 are not displayed for each enemy character 31 but a plurality of enemy characters 31 form a predetermined group, and each group (or each group) An enemy character icon 39 is displayed on each boss). This can prevent the map screen from becoming complicated.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the character icon display processing unit 17 (an example of the object icon display processing unit) is based on the current positions of the friend character 29 and the enemy character 31 (an example of the object icon) and the enemy character icon 39. (An example of an object icon) is displayed on the map screen 35.

  An example of the character icon display by the character icon display processing unit 17 is shown at the top of FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the ally character icon 37 and the enemy character icon 39 are displayed as circular objects, respectively, and it is possible to identify the hostile by the difference in display color (FIG. 4 etc. ally character The icon 37 is shown in white and the enemy character icon 39 is shown hatched). The shape of the character icon is an example, and may be, for example, a shape or a symbol other than a circle, or a symbol representing the appearance of the character.

  Note that, as described above, the character icon display processing unit 17 does not display the enemy character icons 39 for each enemy character 31 but for each group (or each boss of the group) configured by a plurality of enemy characters 31 The enemy character icon 39 is displayed on. Similarly, when the ally character 29 is, for example, a warlord and carries a unit or the like consisting of a plurality of soldiers, the ally character icon 37 is displayed for each unit (or every warlord).

  Returning to FIG. 2, the information aggregation processing unit 19 aggregates character related information (an example of object related information) related to at least one enemy character 31 present in a predetermined section set on the game screen. That is, in the present embodiment, character related information related to at least one enemy character icon 39 present in a predetermined section set on the map screen 35 is totalized.

  The predetermined section is a unit area for tabulating the character related information, and for example, is an area (section 45) in which the map screen 35 is divided into grids by grid lines 43 as shown in FIG. Although the grid lines 43 are shown for convenience of explanation, they are not displayed on the map screen 35.

  The character related information is information related to the enemy character icon 39 (enemy character 31) present in each section 45, and for example, the number of the enemy character icons 39, status information related to battle (for example, level, strength value, Parameters such as attack power, defense power, equipment, skills, attributes, special effects, etc. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the number of enemy character icons 39 is counted as 1 in the section 45a, 2 in the section 45b, 3 in the section 45c, 4 in the section 45d, and 0 in the other sections 45. In each section 45, for example, the sum (or the average or the like) of the status information of the enemy character icons 39 (enemy character 31) present in the section 45 is calculated by calculating.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the battle status determination processing unit 21 is advantageous when the player character challenges the enemy character 31 present in the sections 45a to 45c based on the result of counting the character related information. Determine (expect) whether it will be disadvantageous or not. If the count result of each section 45 changes (such as the number or type of enemy characters) changes due to the change in the war situation, the determination result of the war situation also changes in real time according to the change. Although the method of determination is not particularly limited as long as it is based on the above tabulation result, for example, determination based on the type of weapon to be equipped, determination based on special effects of equipment or skill, determination based on parameter size, etc. Be

  The determination according to the type of weapon to be equipped is performed, for example, as follows. That is, the weapon equipped by each character is set to a relatively advantageous or disadvantageous effect according to its type. For example, the so-called "three-those relationship", in which a kite is advantageous to a sword, a sword is advantageous to a kite, and a kite is advantageous to a kite. The battle status determination processing unit 21 compares the type of the weapon equipped by the player character with the type of the weapon equipped by the enemy character 31 present in the sections 45a to 45c, and determines the battle status based on the above relationship.

  The determination based on the special effects of equipment and skills is performed, for example, as follows. That is, special effects are set for the weapons and skills provided for each character according to the type. For example, an effect is given that a particular weapon or particular skill gives a large damage to a particular type of character (such as a bow and arrow for a flying character). The battle status determination processing unit 21 compares the type of player character and the type of weapon and skill provided with the type of the enemy character 31 present in the sections 45a to 45c and the type of weapon and skill provided, based on the above special effects. Determine the war situation.

  The determination based on the magnitude of the parameter is performed, for example, as follows. That is, for a particular character that does not have an advantage or disadvantage due to the types of weapons and skills described above, for example, a character that attacks a character whose magic power is advantageous for a character whose defense strength is low In such a case, the determination is made in consideration of various parameters, such as a character with low magic defense power being disadvantageous. The battle status determination processing unit 21 determines the battle status by comparing and comparing the parameters of the player character with the parameters of the enemy character 31 present in the sections 45a to 45c.

  The aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 generates the aggregation icon 41 based on the aggregation result of the character related information. At this time, the tabulation icon generation processing unit 23 determines the size of the tabulation icon 41 based on the tabulation result of the character-related information, in the present embodiment, based on the number of enemy character icons 39 present in the sections 45a to 45d. Thereby, when the number of enemy characters in each section 45 fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the battle situation, the size of the totalization icon 41 being displayed fluctuates in real time according to the fluctuation. Further, the tabulation icon generation processing unit 23 generates the tabulation icon 41 so that the determination result of the battle status described above can be identified. As a result, when the determination result in each section 45 fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the war situation, the identification display of the counting icon 41 being displayed fluctuates in real time according to the fluctuation.

  4 to 6 show an example of the aggregation icon 41 generated by the aggregation icon generation processing unit 23. FIG. 4 is an example of the tabulation icon when the determination of the battle status is performed according to the type of weapon to be mounted. As shown in the lower part of FIG. 4, the tabulation icons 41 are respectively generated and displayed as balloon-like circular objects, and the number (number) of enemy character icons 39 can be identified by the size (diameter) of the circular objects, It is possible to identify the judgment result of the above-mentioned battle situation by the difference of the inner symbol and the display color.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, in the section 45 a in which the number of enemy character icons 39 is one, the smallest counting icon 41 is generated, and the size of the counting icon 41 increases as the number of enemy character icons increases to 2, 3 and 4. It is gradually increasing. In the section 45 where the enemy character icon 39 does not exist, the totalization icon 41 is not generated and displayed. Further, the maximum value of the size of the totalization icon 41 is not particularly limited, and increases as the number of enemy character icons 39 existing in one section 45 increases. In the present embodiment, the number of enemy character icons 39 (enemy character 31) is counted by one icon (one character) at a time to change the size of the counting icon 41, thereby enabling fine display. The size may be changed stepwise by counting a plurality of icons (a plurality of characters).

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, a symbol 47 representing the determination result of the battle status according to the type of the equipped weapon described above is displayed inside the counting icon 41. In this example, the symbol 47 is, for example, a broken double-line symbol, the symbol 47a bent downward indicates that the player character is advantageous, and the symbol 47b bent upward indicates that the player character is disadvantageous. At the same time, the player can instantly identify the determination result of the battle status by the difference in the display color of the aggregation icon 41 (in this example, the aggregation icon 41 when the player character is advantageous is white and the player character is disadvantageous) The tabulation icon 41 is indicated by hatching).

  The shape of the counting icon 41 is an example, and may be, for example, a shape or a symbol other than a circle, or a symbol representing the appearance of a character. Further, the shape of the above-described symbol 47 is also an example, and for example, symbols, characters, symbols, etc. other than the broken line may be used. Further, the type of the tabulation icon may be made different depending on the determination result of the battle situation.

  FIG. 5 is an example of the tabulated icon when the determination of the battle situation is performed by the special effects of the equipment and skills described above. Similar to FIG. 4 described above, the number of enemy character icons 39 can be identified by the size of the total icon 41, and the determination result of the above-described battle status can be identified by the difference in the inner symbols and display colors. It is.

  In the example shown in the lower part of FIG. 5, in some sections 45b and 45c, a symbol 49 representing the determination result of the battle status by the special effects of the equipment and skills described above is displayed inside the aggregation icon 41. In this example, the symbol 49 is, for example, a symbol of exclamation mark (exclamation mark), and together with the display color, the player can instantly identify the determination result of the battle situation. That is, the player character is advantageous by the special effect for the enemy character 31 in the upper right section 45b (the total icon 41 is white), and the player character for the enemy character 31 in the section 45c (the total icon 41 is hatched) Are disadvantaged by special effects. The other display contents are the same as those in FIG.

  In addition, the shape of the said symbol 49 is an example, for example, it is good also as symbols, characters, patterns, etc. other than an exclamation mark. Further, the type of the tabulation icon may be made different depending on the determination result of the battle situation.

  FIG. 6 is an example of the tabulated icon when the determination of the battle situation is performed based on the magnitude of the parameters described above. The number of enemy character icons 39 can be identified by the size of the total icon 41, and the determination result of the battle situation described above can be identified by the difference between the inner symbols and the display color, as described above with reference to FIGS. Similar to 5.

  In the example shown in the lower part of FIG. 6, in some sections 45 a, symbols 51 representing the determination results of the battle status based on the magnitude of the above-described parameters are displayed inside the aggregation icon 41. In this example, the symbol 51 is, for example, a broken single-line symbol, the symbol 51a bent downward indicates that the player character is advantageous, and the symbol 51b bent upward indicates that the player character is disadvantageous. At the same time, the player can instantly identify the determination result of the battle status by the difference in the display color of the aggregation icon 41 (in this example, the aggregation icon 41 when the player character is advantageous is white and the player character is disadvantageous) The tabulation icon 41 is indicated by hatching). That is, the player character is advantageous for the enemy character 31 of the upper two sections and the lower one section 45a (the total icon 41 is white) depending on the size of the parameter, and the right section 45a (the total icon 41 is hatched) The player character is at a disadvantage with respect to the enemy character 31 of FIG. The other display contents are the same as in FIG. 4 and FIG.

  In addition, the shape of the said symbol 51 is an example, for example, it is good also as a symbol other than a broken line, a character, a pattern, etc. Further, the type of the tabulation icon may be made different depending on the determination result of the battle situation.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the aggregation icon display processing unit 25 displays the aggregation icon 41 on the section 45 in which at least one character in which the character related information is aggregated is present. At this time, the aggregation icon display processing unit 25 superimposes and displays the aggregation icon 41 on the enemy character icon 39 so that the aggregation icon 41 and the enemy character icon 39 are alternately displayed.

  4 to 6 show an example of display by the totalized icon display processing unit 25. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, on the map screen 35, the state in which the respective character icons 37 and 39 are displayed without displaying the totalization icon 41, and the approximate center position of the section 45 corresponding to the totalization icon 41 The state of being superimposed and displayed on the character icons 37 and 39 is switched every predetermined time (for example, one second). In other words, each character icon 37, 39 is constantly displayed on the map screen 35, and the counting icon 41 is displayed so as to be superimposed on it and blink at predetermined time intervals. As a result, the enemy character icon 39 and the totalization icon 41 are automatically switched, so that the time and effort of the operation input for switching the display by the player is not required. Then, the player can operate the player character while confirming both of the collected information and the detailed position of each character.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the player character switching processing unit 27 (an example of a player object switching processing unit) switches the player character that can be operated by the player to any one of the teammate characters based on the operation input of the player. As a result, the player can switch the player character to a desired ally character at any timing during the battle. At this time, the viewpoint of the battle screen (the position of the virtual camera) is also switched according to the switching of the player character. Note that all members of the ally character may be switchable to the player character, or only part of the ally character may be switchable to the player character.

  At this time, the battle status determination processing unit 21 determines whether the battle status is advantageous or disadvantageous when the switched player character challenges the enemy character 31 in battle, and the totalized icon generation processing unit 23 The identification display of the determination result of the battle status of the aggregation icon 41 is switched based on the determination result.

  FIGS. 7 and 8 show examples of the display of the game field screen 33 and the map screen 35 when the player character is switched by the player character switching processing unit 27. FIG.

  In the example shown in the upper part of FIG. 7, four ally characters 29A to 29D and a plurality of enemy characters 31 are fighting on the game field screen 33. The four ally characters 29A to 29D are composed of a player character 29A and the remaining non player characters 29B to 29D. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the player character 29A is equipped with, for example, a weapon as a weapon, and the non-player characters 29B to 29D are equipped with, for example, a bow and arrow, a sword, and a weapon.

  The lower part of FIG. 7 shows an example of the screen when the player character is switched. In this example, the player character is switched from the teammate character 29A (the state shown at the top of FIG. 7) to the teammate character 29C (the state shown at the bottom of FIG. 7). Thereby, the non player character 29C becomes the player character 29C, and the player character 29A becomes the non player character 29A. Further, along with this, the viewpoint of the battle screen (the position of the virtual camera) is also switched from the rear of the teammate character 29A (state shown at the top of FIG. 7) to the rear of the teammate character 29C (state shown at the bottom of FIG. 7).

  On the map screen 35, the display of the aggregation icon 41 is switched along with the switching of the player character. The details will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the map screen 35 before and after switching of the player character of FIG. 7. For ease of explanation, it is assumed that all of the enemy characters 31 are equipped with a hook (not shown) in FIGS. 7 and 8.

  The upper part of FIG. 8 corresponds to the upper part of FIG. As shown in the upper part of FIG. 8, four ally character icons 37 corresponding to the ally characters 29A to 29D are displayed around the enemy character icon 39. At this time, the teammate character icon 37 corresponding to the player character 29A is displayed by the identification display unit 53 so as to indicate that it is the player character. Here, in order to facilitate the description, for example, the enemy character 31 present in the section 45a at the right end and the section 45c is equipped with a sword (not shown), and the enemy character 31 present in the other sections 45a, 45b, 45d. For example, it is assumed that a bag (not shown) is equipped. As a result, from the relationship between the above-described three freezing points with the eyelid equipped by the player character 29A, a tabulation icon 41 indicating that the player character is advantageous is displayed for the section 45a and the section 45c at the right end. For the sections 45a, 45b, 45d, a totaling icon 41 indicating that the player character is disadvantageous is displayed.

  In this state, the player character 29A is disadvantageous to the opposing enemy character 31. Therefore, when the player character is switched to the teammate character 29C as shown in the lower part of FIG. 7, the map screen 35 is as shown in the lower part of FIG. That is, since the switched player character 29C is equipped with a sword, the player character is disadvantageous for the section 45a and the section 45c at the right end from the relationship of the above-mentioned three constrictions, but the other sections 45a, 45b, 45d The player character is advantageous, and the identification display of the determination result of the battle status of the aggregation icon 41 is switched. Thus, the player can advance the battle by operating the advantageous player character 29C with respect to the opposing enemy character 31.

  The processes and the like in the respective processing units described above are not limited to the examples of sharing of these processes, and may be performed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit). Further, processing may be performed by a further subdivided processing unit. The functions of the processing units described above are implemented by a game program executed by the CPU 101 (see FIG. 10 described later) described later, but for example, a part thereof is a dedicated integrated circuit such as ASIC or FPGA, etc. May be implemented by an actual device such as an electrical circuit of

<4. Processing Procedure Performed by Information Processing Device>
Next, an example of the processing procedure executed by the CPU 101 of the information processing device 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S5, the information processing apparatus 3 causes the battle execution processing unit 13 to start the battle between the teammate character 29 and the enemy character 31.

  In step S10, the information processing device 3 causes the map display processing unit 15 to display the map screen 35 on the periphery of the game field screen 33.

  In step S15, the information processing device 3 causes the character icon display processing unit 17 to display the teammate character icon 37 and the enemy character icon 39 on the map screen 35 in accordance with the current positions of the teammate character 29 and the enemy character 31.

  In step S20, the information processing device 3 causes the information aggregation processing unit 19 to aggregate character related information related to the enemy character 31 present in each section 45 set on the map screen 35. The character-related information is, for example, the number of enemy character icons 39 existing in each section 45, status information related to battle, etc. as described above.

  In step S25, the information processing apparatus 3 causes the information aggregation processing unit 19 to determine the size of the aggregation icon 41 based on the number of enemy character icons 39 present in each section 45.

  In step S30, the information processing apparatus 3 challenges the enemy character 31 whose player character is present in each section 45 to battle based on the counting result of the character related information in step S20 by the battle status determination processing unit 21. Determine if the situation is advantageous or disadvantageous.

  In step S35, the information processing device 3 causes the aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 to generate the aggregation icon 41 based on the size of the icon determined in step S25 and the determination result in step S30.

  In step S40, the information processing device 3 displays the counting icon 41 substantially at the center of the corresponding section 45 so that the counting icon 41 and the enemy character icon 39 are alternately displayed by the counting icon display processing unit 25. Do.

  In step S45, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the player has performed an operation input for switching the player character. If an operation input is made (step S45: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S50. On the other hand, when the operation input is not performed (step S45: NO), the process proceeds to step S60 described later.

  In step S50, the information processing apparatus 3 causes the player character switching processing unit 27 to switch the player character to any one of the plurality of ally characters in accordance with the operation input of the player.

  In step S55, the information processing device 3 causes the aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 to switch the identification display of the determination result of the battle status of the aggregation icon 41 in accordance with the switching of the player character.

  In step S60, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the player has performed an operation input to end the battle. When the operation input is not performed (step S60: NO), the process returns to the previous step S15, and the same steps are repeated. On the other hand, when the operation input is performed (step S60: YES), this flow is ended.

  In addition, the processing procedure mentioned above is an example, Comprising: At least one copy of the said procedure may be deleted or changed, and procedures other than the above may be added. Also, the order of at least part of the above procedures may be changed, or multiple procedures may be combined into a single procedure.

  Then, the CPU 101 executes various processes in accordance with the program recorded in the recording device 117, whereby the processes by the information aggregation processing unit 19 and the aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 described above are realized. At this time, the CPU 101 may, for example, directly read and execute the program from the recording device 117 or may temporarily load and execute the program on the RAM 105. Furthermore, when the CPU 101 receives a program via the communication device 123, the drive 119, or the connection port 121, for example, the received program may be directly executed without being recorded in the recording device 117.

  In addition, the CPU 101 may perform various processes based on signals and information input from the input device 113 such as a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone (not shown), etc., including the controller 5 described above, as necessary. .

  The GPU 106 performs processing for image display, such as rendering processing, in response to an instruction from the CPU 101.

  Then, the CPU 101 and the GPU 106 output the result of execution of the above processing from the output device 115 including, for example, the display device 7 and the audio output unit described above. Furthermore, the CPU 101 and the GPU 106 may transmit the processing result via the communication device 123 and the connection port 121 as needed, and may record the processing result on the recording device 117 or the recording medium 125.

<6. Effect of embodiment>
The game program according to the present embodiment includes an information aggregation processing unit 19 that aggregates character-related information related to at least one enemy character 31 present in a predetermined section 45 set on the game screen. An aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 that generates an aggregation icon 41 based on an aggregation result of related information, and an aggregation icon that displays the aggregation icon 41 on a section 45 in which at least one enemy character 31 whose character related information is aggregated is present It functions as the display processing unit 25.

  In the present embodiment, for each section 45 set on the game screen, an aggregation icon 41 representing an aggregation result of information on the enemy character 31 present in the section 45 is displayed. As a result, instead of displaying the information related to each character in detail, the information of a plurality of characters present in the section 45 can be summarized and displayed collectively. As a result, even when a large number of characters appear, for example, the player can grasp the rough information at a glance without looking at the detailed information on the game screen, so that the information on the game screen can be obtained. Becomes easy.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the tabulation icon generation processing unit 23 determines the size of the tabulation icon 41 based on the tabulation result of the character related information.

  In this embodiment, since the counting result is represented by the size of the counting icon 41, the visibility can be improved, and it becomes easier for the player to obtain information on the game screen. In addition, even when the position or the situation (parameters, etc.) of each character constantly fluctuates as in, for example, an action game, the size of the totalization icon 41 can be fluctuated in real time according to the fluctuation, so the player can You can always get the latest information from the game screen.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program causes the information processing device 3 to display the teammate character icon 37 and the enemy character icon 39 based on the current positions of the teammate character 29 and the enemy character 31; The aggregation icon display processing unit 25 superimposes and displays the aggregation icon 41 on the enemy character icon 39 so that the aggregation icon 41 and the enemy character icon 39 are alternately displayed.

  As a result, the player can grasp not only the information collected but also the detailed position of each character, so the amount of information that the player can obtain can be increased. In addition, since icon display is automatically switched, it is possible to improve convenience without requiring an operation input operation for switching the display by the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program performs the battle between the teammate character 29 and the enemy character 31 by the battle execution processing unit 13 and the teammate character 29 based on the tabulated result of the character related information. Function as a battle condition determination processing unit 21 that determines whether the battle situation is advantageous or disadvantageous when the player challenges the battle against at least one enemy character 31 present in the section 45, and generates an aggregation icon generation processing unit 23 generates an aggregation icon 41 so that the determination result of the battle situation can be identified.

  As a result, the player can instantaneously determine whether it is preferable or undesirable to cause the teammate character 29 to fight with the enemy character 31 in which section 45, so that the battle can be advanced advantageously. Also, for example, when the battle situation changes in real time, such as in an action game, the identification display of the advantage or disadvantage of the totalization icon 41 also changes in realtime, so the player always changes by referring to the totalization icon 41 It becomes possible to take ad hoc tactics while grasping the war situation. Therefore, strategicity can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program is a player character switching processing unit 27 that switches the information processing apparatus 3 to any one of the teammate characters 29 based on the player's operation input. Further, the battle status determination processing unit 21 determines whether the battle status is advantageous or disadvantageous when the switched player character challenges the enemy character 31 for battle, and the totalized icon generation processing unit 23 The identification display of the determination result of the battle status of the aggregation icon 41 is switched based on the determination result.

  In the present embodiment, the player can switch the player character to the desired teammate character 29 at any timing during the battle. As a result, the player can participate in the battle using various characters, so the interest can be improved. Further, at this time, the identification display as to whether the battle situation in the aggregation icon 41 is advantageous or disadvantageous is also switched according to the switching of the player character. Therefore, for example, when the player character faces an enemy character 31 which is disadvantageous, the player character is switched to an ally character 29 which is advantageous to the enemy character 31, and a tactic such as fighting the enemy character 31 is taken. It becomes possible. Therefore, strategicity can be improved.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the tabulation icon generation processing unit 23 determines the size of the tabulation icon 41 based on the number of enemy characters 31 present in the section 45 set on the map screen 35.

  As a result, the player can grasp the distribution and power of the enemy character 31 on the game field at a glance by referring to the tally icon 41 on the map screen 35. Therefore, it is possible for the player to take ad hoc tactics while grasping the distribution and power of the enemy character 31 constantly changing by referring to the map screen 35, thereby improving the strategy.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program causes the information processing device 3 to further function as the map display processing unit 15 that causes the map screen 35 to be displayed on the periphery of the game field screen 33.

  For example, in an action game in which a player character is operated in real time on the game field screen 33 to perform battle, the player needs to perform a complicated operation to execute various attacks and defenses while moving the player character. is there. Therefore, it is difficult to read even detailed information on the map screen 35 displayed on the periphery of the game field screen 33.

  In this embodiment, the player can grasp rough information such as the distribution and power of the enemy character 31 instantly without looking at the detailed information on the map screen 35. It is preferable that the player can obtain necessary information while concentrating on the operation.

<7. Modified example etc>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and the technical idea thereof.

  For example, although the case where an aggregation icon is displayed on the map screen 35 has been described above as an example, the aggregation icon may be displayed on a game screen other than the map screen. FIG. 11 shows an example of display in the case of displaying an aggregation icon on the game field screen 33, for example.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the player character 29A and units 55A to 55E of a plurality of enemy characters face each other on the game field screen 33. Grid-like sections 57 are set on the game field screen 33 by grid lines 43.

  The process performed in this modification is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. That is, the information aggregation processing unit 19 aggregates character related information related to the units 55A to 55E of the enemy characters present in each section 57, and has a size according to the number of characters of each unit 55A to 55E Total icons 41 capable of identifying the determination result are displayed superimposed on the units 55A to 55E of the enemy characters, respectively. At this time, the aggregation icon display processing unit 25 alternately displays the aggregation icon 41 and the icons of the units 55A to 55E.

  According to this modification, the following effects are obtained. That is, when there are a plurality of units in which enemy characters such as the units 55A to 55E are gathered on the game field screen 33, when these units are displayed finely, it is difficult for the player to see, and the processing load also increases. Therefore, by displaying the aggregation icon 41 as in the present modification, the player can grasp the rough information at a glance without displaying the unit in detail. Therefore, the visibility by the player can be improved, and the processing load can be reduced. In addition, since it becomes easy for the player to make a strategy such as which unit to fight against, it is possible to improve the strategy.

  Further, for example, although the size of the totalization icon 41 is determined based on the number of enemy characters 31 (enemy character icons 39) in the above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the size of the totalization icon 41 may be determined based on parameters such as level, strength value, aggression power, defense power, equipment, skills, attributes, special effects, and the like. In this case, when there are a plurality of enemy characters 31 in the section 45, their statuses may be summed to total power.

  Further, other than those described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiment and each modification may be combined as appropriate for use. In addition, although not illustrated one by one, various changes are added and implemented in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modification in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
