  In the so-called deck battle type game including the above-described conventional game, generally, a player or a character (hereinafter simply referred to as a “player”) prepares in advance as a game setting in a card battle (battle) using a character card. A finite number of character cards (deck-constituting characters) constituting his deck is selected from the plurality of character cards (for example, character cards as the possessed items of the player). At this time, the player, for example, confirms or predicts the personality (strength, good technique, etc.) of the enemy character and the opponent player, and creates his / her deck composition character in any desired combination. Can do.

  However, in such a conventional game, once a deck (a set of deck constituent characters) is created, the deck configuration cannot be changed and fixed in one battle event (also called a quest or turn). The attack on the enemy character and the opponent character by the deck is automatically performed. In this case, the player only selects a character card at a battle event that is a main entertainment element of the game, or repeatedly hits a button or a switch for instructing an attack on an enemy character or an opponent character. It was only possible to do very monotonous work.

  Also, the type and strength of attacks against enemy characters and opponent characters are usually determined according to the type, personality, attributes, level, etc. of the characters that make up the deck. Because even if multiple attacks are possible in a single battle event, variations in the attack are limited, the battle event itself becomes uniform, and in some cases When the deck is constructed, there is a disadvantage that the player can predict the whereabouts (win / lose) of the battle to some extent.

  As a result, the interest and excitement of the game as a whole is reduced or lost, and there is a problem that the player's willingness to participate in the game or continue the game cannot be driven.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to draw out the ingenuity of the player and improve the interest and preference of the battle event, which has been converted into a monotonous work. A server device, a control method thereof, a program, and a game system capable of providing a game that can increase the willingness to participate in a game or continue the game and can amplify or increase the fun and excitement of the entire game For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above problems, a server device according to the present invention first provides a game that is connected to a terminal device operated by a player (game user, client) via a communication line and includes a predetermined battle event. An information storage unit that stores information related to the game, and a control unit that accesses the information, executes a calculation related to the game, and displays an image of the game on the terminal device.

  The information storage unit corresponds to a plurality of types of player characters and at least one type of enemy character (an opponent character) associated with a predetermined battle event, and each player character as a part of information related to the game. Contains game media information (representing a player character). Further, the control unit displays the plurality of game media in the terminal device so that the player can select at least one desired game media for attacking the enemy character from the plurality of game media at a predetermined battle event. When the player selects a desired game medium from among the game contents displayed in the first field, the game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field ( It may be deleted from the display screen of the terminal device, or it may be moved and displayed in an area other than the first field as in the second field described later), or a new replacement for the removed game media The game media is supplemented to the first field.

  The “game media” refers to content and items that can be held and managed by the player in the game, such as a character card, avatar, figure, etc. associated with the player character. These are concepts that are handled in a virtual space (virtual game space) on a game and include what is called an “object” or the like. In addition, the “game medium” may be one that directly recalls the player character, or one that indirectly recalls the player character (for example, the name, name, weapon, clothing, costume, spell, magic, technique, related character, etc. of the player character). Furthermore, it may be displayed as a still image or a moving image, or may be displayed as simple text information instead of an image. In some cases, it can be visually recognized. For example, it may be one that can be recognized only by hearing, such as voice information.

  The player can play a game including a predetermined battle event online or offline by connecting a terminal device to the server device configured as described above via a communication line. In the game, a control unit provided in the server device accesses information related to the game stored in the information storage unit, executes various calculations related to the game using the information, and performs a game operation as a calculation result. While displaying an image as a game screen on the terminal device, it is possible to proceed along the game settings.

  In addition, in a predetermined battle event of the game, a plurality of game media corresponding to the player character are displayed in the first field of the terminal device (display screen thereof) by the processing of the control unit, and the player A game medium for attacking enemy characters can be selected as desired from among the game media. Further, the game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field, and a new game medium is supplemented to the first field as needed instead.

  As described above, in the present invention, the so-called candidates of the game medium selected by the player to attack the enemy character by the player character are once displayed in the first field, and the player actually The game medium used for the attack of the enemy character can be appropriately selected. Since the first field is replenished with new game media as needed, the player can further select a game media to be used for attacking enemy characters from the first field. As a result, the set of game media selected by the player (combination; for example, the one corresponding to the above-described conventional deck configuration) is not fixed and fixed at the battle event, but in one predetermined battle event, It can be changed sequentially and as desired depending on the player's choice. As a result, the player's intention and determination are reflected in the result of the battle event.

  More specifically, the information storage unit further includes information on the first parameter value (amount) set for each player character and / or each game medium as a part of information related to the game. When the control unit refills the first field with a new game medium that replaces the game medium removed from the first field, the type of game medium to be refilled (based on the first parameter value ( 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” (the type of parameter, not the value) is the agility (action or attack) of the player character. Swiftness, agility), action points (action points; AP, etc.), physical strength or vitality (hit points; HP, etc.) of individual or multiple player characters, attack power against enemy characters, used by player characters Possible strengths of skills are listed. Note that “based on the first parameter value” means not only the case where the type of game medium to be replenished is uniformly determined by the first parameter value, but also the magnitude of the first parameter value. The case where it determines according to the appearance probability weighted using is also included.

  In this way, compared to a case where a new game medium to be replenished in the first field is arbitrarily (randomly) determined, the type of new game medium to be replenished by the player is predicted to some extent (expected). ). Thus, when the player selects a desired game medium from the first field, for example, the player can execute a strategy or strategy for defeating an enemy character according to various attributes set according to the type of the game medium. It is possible to formulate effectively and intentionally. As a result, the room for discretion by the player in the battle event increases, and the intention and determination by the player can be reflected more strongly depending on the outcome of the battle event.

  More specifically, the information storage unit sets a second parameter value set for each player character and / or game medium as a part of information related to the game, and a predetermined battle event. The control unit further includes information on the third parameter value that is set, and the control unit has a total (total amount) of the second parameter values of the game medium selected by the player that is equal to or less than an upper limit value of the third parameter value. Further, it is also preferable to allow the player to select those game media. Note that the third parameter value set for a predetermined battle event is set for each turn when the predetermined battle event can be composed of a plurality of battles called so-called “turns”, for example. You can also.

  As these “second parameter” and “third parameter” (the type of parameter, not the value), 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.), attack power against enemy characters, and techniques that can be used by the player character. The strength can be exemplified. In addition, the “second parameter” may be the same as or different from the “first parameter” and / or the “third parameter”. It may be the same as or different from the “first parameter” and / or “second parameter”.

  In this way, the player can set the total of the second parameter values set in the game medium to be selected so as to be within the upper limit value of the third parameter value as the upper limit value of the third parameter value. It is required to compare, that is, to select a set of game media for attacking enemy characters while changing the upper limit values of the second parameter value and the third parameter value. As a result, for example, the battle event may become monotonous due to an easy selection in which the player selects only the game media of the player character that can cause more damage to the enemy character. Is prevented. Thereby, an appropriate psychological and intellectual load can be applied to the player, and the discretionary room for the player in the battle event is further increased.

  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 value of the third parameter value. Here, the “appropriate timing” is not particularly limited. For example, as described above, when a predetermined battle event can be composed of a plurality of battles (turns), with the passage of time in the middle of each turn, Alternatively, the upper limit value of the third parameter value may be recovered based on the damage given to the enemy character by the player character. Alternatively, instead of or in addition to this, a collective value may be restored at the beginning or end of the turn.

  Furthermore, the information storage unit also includes information on a plurality of types of techniques that allow each player character to attack an enemy character and damages the enemy character different from each other as part of the information related to the game. And the control unit, when 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, Depending on the quantity, it is possible to determine a specific technique from a plurality of types of techniques that can be used by the same player character, and to damage the enemy character by the determined specific technique.

  In such a configuration, for example, when the player intentionally and continuously selects game media corresponding to the same player character, in addition to the technique (normal technique) that the player character can normally use, a different special character is used. A technique (for example, a special technique) can be activated (paid out) against an enemy character. In other words, in one battle event, a game element different from selecting a game medium is added, which significantly increases the variation of the strategy and strategy for defeating the enemy character by the player, and at the discretion of the player The room further increases.

  Further, the control unit displays a plurality of game media adjacent to each other (a kind of aligned state) on the first field, and after the game media selected by the player is removed from the first field, the game media is removed. The game media remaining in the first field are rearranged so as to fill or fill the area where the game media were placed, and the area (blank area) generated by the rearrangement is replenished with new game media. Then, the remaining game media and the supplemented new game media may be displayed in a state of being arranged adjacent to each other. In this case, the movement of the game medium (so-called fade-in, slide-in, etc.) may be displayed (dynamically displayed) using a moving image or the like.

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

  The server device control method according to the present invention is a method for effectively controlling the above-described server device of the present invention, that is, a predetermined battle event connected to a terminal device operated by a player via a communication line. A server including an information storage unit that provides a game including the information, stores information related to the game, and accesses the information, executes a calculation related to the game, and displays an image of the game on the terminal device This is a method for controlling the apparatus.

  In this method, first, in the information storage unit, as part of 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 The game media information corresponding to is stored. Then, the terminal device is provided with the plurality of game media so that the control unit can select at least one desired game media for attacking the enemy character from the plurality of game media at a predetermined battle event. When the player selects a desired game medium from among the game media displayed in the first field, the game media selected by the player is removed from the first field. Control for replenishing the first field with a new game medium in place of the removed game medium is performed.

  Further, the program according to the present invention provides a game that is connected to a terminal device operated by a player via a communication line and includes a predetermined battle event, and includes a predetermined battle event as a part of information related to the game. For causing a computer that can access an information storage unit that stores information on a plurality of types of associated player characters and at least one type of enemy character and game media corresponding to each player character to execute the following steps: Is.

  That is, in this step, information is accessed, a calculation related to the game is executed, and an image of the game is displayed on the terminal device. In the case of a predetermined battle event, the player can select an enemy character from a plurality of game media. A step of displaying a plurality of game media on the first field in the terminal device so that at least one desired game media for attacking can be selected, and a game media on which the player is displayed in the first field Removing a game medium selected by the player from the first field when a desired game medium is selected from the above, and replenishing the first field with a new game medium in place of the removed game medium Is included.

  Still further, a game system according to the present invention is a system including a terminal device operated by the above-described player, and a server device that provides a game including a predetermined battle event connected to the terminal device via a communication line. An information storage unit that stores information related to the game, and a control unit that accesses the information, executes a calculation related to the game, and displays an image of the game on the terminal device.

A plurality of game media are displayed in the first field of the terminal device so that they can be selected, and are selected by the player when the player selects a desired game media from among the game media displayed in the first field. Remove the removed game media from the first field and replace the removed game media with a new one It is intended to supplement the over arm medium in the first field.

  According to the present invention, it is possible for a player to appropriately select a game medium corresponding to a player character used for attacking an enemy character in a battle event, and a new game medium that replaces the selected game medium is provided as needed. Since it is replenished, the set of game media selected by the player can be changed sequentially and as desired according to the player's intention to select. As a result, the player's ingenuity in the battle event can be drawn out, and the interest and preference of the battle event, which has become a monotonous work in the past, can be improved. In addition, it is possible to amplify or increase the fun and excitement of the entire game.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram (system block diagram) showing a preferred embodiment of a server device according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram (system configuration diagram) showing a preferred embodiment of the game system according to the present invention. As shown in these drawings, the server device 100 is a server computer connected to a network 200 that is a communication line or communication network for information processing such as the Internet, and a predetermined server program operates on the server computer. By doing so, the server function is manifested. In addition, the server system 100 and the terminal device 2 such as the client computer 21 and the portable terminal 22 that are also wired and / or wirelessly connected to the network 200 are set to be communicable with each other, whereby the game system 1 is configured. Is done.

  The server device 100 includes an arithmetic processing unit 101 such as a CPU and an MPU, a ROM 102 and a RAM 103 as storage devices, an external interface 104 to which an input unit 105 and an external memory 106 are connected, an image processing unit 107 to which a display monitor 111 is connected, a disk Alternatively, the slot drive 108 in which a memory device or the like is accommodated or connected, the audio processing unit 109 to which the speaker device 112 is connected, and the network interface 110, for example, a system bus including an internal bus, an external bus, and an expansion bus They are connected to each other via a path 120. Note that the device units responsible for input / output, such as the input unit 105, the external memory 106, the display monitor 111, and the speaker device 112, may be omitted as appropriate, and even if they are provided, It is not always necessary to connect to the transmission line 120 at all times.

  The arithmetic processing unit 101 controls the overall operation of the server apparatus 100, transmits and receives control signals and information signals (data) to and from other components described above, and performs various arithmetic processes necessary for game execution. I do. Therefore, the arithmetic processing unit 101 performs arithmetic operations such as addition / subtraction / multiplication / division using a numerical operation unit, logical operations such as logical sum, logical product, logical negation, bit, etc. for a storage area such as a so-called register that can be accessed at high speed. Bit operations such as sum, bit product, bit inversion, bit shift, bit rotation, etc., and further, saturation operation, trigonometric function operation, vector operation, etc. can be performed as necessary.

  The ROM 102 generally stores an IPL (Initial Program Loader) that is executed first after the power is turned on. By executing this, the disk 102 or the memory device accommodated in or connected to the slot drive 108 is recorded. The recorded server program or game program is once read into the RAM 103 by the arithmetic processing unit 101, and the program is executed by the arithmetic processing unit 101. Furthermore, the ROM 102 stores an operating system program and other various data necessary for operation control of the entire server apparatus 100.

  Further, the RAM 103 is for temporarily storing a server program, a game program, and various data. As described above, the read server program and game program, other game progresses, and a plurality of data are stored. Data necessary for communication between the terminal devices 2 is held in the RAM 103. Further, the arithmetic processing unit 101 sets a variable area in the RAM 103 and directly performs a calculation using a numerical arithmetic unit for the value stored in the variable area, or registers the value stored in the RAM 103 as a register. The data is temporarily copied or moved and stored, and the calculation is directly performed on the register, and further, the calculation result is written back to the RAM 103.

  The input unit 105 connected via the external interface 104 receives various operation inputs performed by the user (game provider) of the server device 100. The input unit 105 includes a keyboard, a touchpad, In addition to the touch panel, for example, a voice input device can be employed, and the type of device is not particularly limited as long as various operation inputs, determination operations, cancellation operations, menu display, and the like can be input.

  Furthermore, in the RAM 103 and the external memory 106 detachably connected via the external interface 104, the operating status of the server device 100, the access status of each terminal device 2, the game play status and the progress status of each terminal device 2 Data indicating (past results and the like), data of a log (record) of communication between the terminal devices 2 and the like are stored in a rewritable manner.

  Further, the image processing unit 107 processes various data read from the slot drive 108 by the arithmetic processing unit 101 or the image processing unit 107 itself, and then stores the processed image information in a frame memory or the like. Record. The image information recorded in the frame memory is converted into a video signal at a predetermined synchronization timing, and is output to the display monitor 111 connected to the image processing unit 107. Thereby, various image displays are possible. Further, the image information related to the game is transmitted from the image processing unit 107 and / or the arithmetic processing unit 101 to each terminal device 2 through a cooperative process with the arithmetic processing unit 101 or the like.

  Furthermore, the audio processing unit 109 converts various data read from the slot drive 108 into audio signals, and outputs the audio signals from the speaker device 112 connected to the audio processing unit 109. Also, sound information (sound effect and music information) related to the game is sent from the sound processing unit 109 and / or the calculation processing unit 101 to each terminal device 2 through a cooperative process with the calculation processing unit 101 or the like.

  Furthermore, the network interface 110 is for connecting the server apparatus 100 to the network 200. For example, the network interface 110 conforms to various standards used for constructing a LAN, an analog modem, an ISDN modem, an ADSL modem, and a cable television. A cable modem or the like for connecting to the Internet or the like using a John line, and an interface for connecting these to the arithmetic processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120.

  In the game system 1 and the server device 100 configured as described above, a preferred embodiment of a game executed in accordance with a game program according to the present invention will be described below. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a part of the procedure of the game executed in the server device 100, and particularly shows a flow focusing on the development flow of the game screen displayed on the terminal device 2 operated by the player. 4 and 5 are schematic diagrams showing a configuration example of a game screen in a part of the game procedure shown in FIG.

  Note that various processes (image and screen display, determination, calculation, and the like) in the following procedure are executed based on control commands from the arithmetic processing unit 101 of the server apparatus 100. That is, the arithmetic processing unit 101 functions as a “control unit” in the present invention. In addition to the ROM 102 and RAM 103 and the external memory 106 described above, various storage media on which information related to the game is recorded correspond to an “information storage unit” in the present invention.

  Here, first, the player operates the terminal device 2 (client computer 21 or portable terminal 22; tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.), and connects the terminal device 2 to the server device 100 via the network 200 such as the Internet. Furthermore, 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 or a password on the platform screen before selecting the game. When the arithmetic processing unit 101 of the server device 100 recognizes the login information, the player-specific my page associated with the ID number is displayed on the terminal device 2 (step S1). In this game example, a banner listing a plurality of scenes (for example, location, dungeon, quest, etc.) set as game scenes is displayed on the My Page screen. These locations, dungeons, quests, etc. may or may not be hierarchized with each other or as individual structures.

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

  Further description will be given with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. As a processing procedure of this turn Tu, first, an event field Fe and a palette Fp are defined as display areas for game images on the screen 2a of the terminal device 2, Each component is displayed in the display area. In the event field Fe in the present embodiment, player characters Ca to Cd (friend characters) represented by a solid circle in the figure are displayed as part of the constituent elements. In addition, the palette Fp is a kind of “place” that displays character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 corresponding to the player characters Ca to Cd (representing each of the player characters Ca to Cd) as constituent elements. is there. That is, the palette Fp corresponds to the “first field”, and the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 correspond to the “game medium”.

  FIG. 4 shows an arrangement example of a plurality of character cards A31, B32, C33, D34 at the start of a certain turn Tu. The palette Fp of the screen 2a at this time includes three character cards A31 represented by the solid line rectangles and one character card B32, C33, D34 each represented by the solid line rectangles. Displayed in a state of being arranged adjacent to each other (in a state of being aligned in a row). Note that each one of the character cards A31 and C33 represented by a broken-line rectangle in the figure is to be 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, as the first parameter value, a numerical value of “agility” (quickness) unique to the player characters Ca to Cd represented by each is set in advance. On the screen 2a, the agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D) is determined for each of the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 in a manner that the player can identify. It is displayed. The display mode of the “agility” is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a numerical value or a graphic display with a different size, length, or quantity.

  This “agility” affects the frequency (probability) of the character cards A31, B32, C33, D34 appearing in the palette Fp, and the arithmetic processing unit 101 determines their agility RP (A), RP ( Based on the values of B), RP (C), and RP (D), for example, a calculation process is performed such that the appearance frequency of a character card corresponding to a player character with relatively high agility is relatively high. The player can select a desired character card from the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 displayed on the screen 2a in this way.

  Further, the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 are preset with numerical values of “action points: AP” specific to the player characters Ca to Cd represented by the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34. On the screen 2a, the values of the action points are AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D), and the character cards A31, B32, Displayed for each of C33 and D34. Furthermore, the total amount of action points AP (AP total amount) that can be consumed for this turn Tu is also set.

  The action points unique to the player characters Ca to Cd also represent the magnitude of damage that can be given by a normal technique to be applied to an enemy character described later. Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the action points AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D) specific to the player characters Ca to Cd are the player characters Ca to C described above. It is set to correlate with the agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D) inherent to Cd. For example, a player character having a relatively large agility RP (faster) has a higher probability of appearing in the palette Fp, but has a smaller action point AP. Conversely, a player character with a relatively small agility RP (more dull movement) has a lower probability of appearing on the palette Fp (a player character with a relatively high agility RP appears and is used several times). The action point AP is set large instead.

  When the player selects a desired card from 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. Is done. The player can continue to select a desired character card until the AP total amount becomes 0 (zero). In other words, the player can select a desired character card as long as the total of action points AP of the character cards to be selected does not exceed the total AP amount.

  Thus, 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 in the total amount of AP that can be consumed in the turn Tu is displayed as the AP gauge 61 in the event field Fe as shown in FIG. 4 so that the player can easily recognize it (step S3 so far).

  With this setting, the player can take action points AP (A), AP (B), unique to the player characters Ca to Cd described in the above-mentioned total amount of AP that can be consumed and the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34. AP (C), AP (D), and agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (C), RP (D) for attacking enemy characters while comparatively considering Character cards are sequentially determined and can be selected from the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34 that are once arranged and displayed on the palette Fp.

  Next, the character cards A31 and C33 selected by the player are removed from the palette Fp and re-displayed as the selected character cards A41 and C43 together with the player characters Ca to Cd in the event field Fe, for example, as shown in FIG. . At this time, the selected character card displayed in the event field Fe may be displayed in the same state as the form (shape, size, etc.) displayed in the palette Fp, or, for example, In this way, it may be displayed in a state where the overall shape is reduced.

  FIG. 4 shows a state where three character cards A31 and one character card C33 selected by the player from the palette Fp are moved to the event field Fe and rearranged adjacent to each other (illustrated). The arrow Ya represents the locus of “movement”). In this case, the event field Fe corresponds to a “second field”. At this time, the AP gauge 61 in the event field Fe is filled with the AP total amount, and the action points AP (A) × 3 sheets written on the selected character cards A31 and C33 + action point A state where AP (C) × 1 sheet is subtracted is displayed with an oblique line and highlighted.

  Thus, when the character cards A31 and C33 for attacking the enemy character are selected and moved and displayed from the palette Fp to the event field Fe, the character cards A31 and C33 are arranged on the palette Fp. A blank space is once generated in the area that was left. Immediately thereafter, the character cards B32 and D34 remaining in the palette Fp move (slide) leftward in the drawing so as to fill or fill the blank area, and a new broken line rectangle shown in FIG. New character cards including the character cards A31 and C33 appear from the right direction toward the screen 2a and are replenished to the palette Fp. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the remaining character cards B32 and D34, and the three newly replenished character cards A31 and one character card C33 are rearranged adjacent to each other (here) Step S4).

  At this time, the arithmetic processing unit 101 has an AP total amount displayed on the AP gauge 61 that is larger than 0 (zero) and, for example, a time elapsed from the start of the turn Tu is longer than a predetermined time set in advance. It is always determined whether it is before (that is, before a predetermined time has elapsed) (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 palette Fp on the screen 2a. Then, the player can additionally select another character card from the rearranged character cards as shown in the palette Fp in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the condition is not satisfied (step S5 is No), the arithmetic processing unit 101 shifts the processing to the next step (that is, the battle step). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, a battle field Fb is displayed in the area above the palette Fp on the screen 2a instead of the event field Fe. In the battle field Fb, enemy characters Ea to Ec are displayed as constituent elements in addition to the player characters Ca to Cd previously displayed. In addition, at this time, the player characters Ca to Cd are displayed in a different mode that symbolizes that they are in a battle state, for example, different from the mode (shape, arrangement, etc.) displayed in the event field Fe. It may be.

  Prior to the start of the battle, for example, so-called hit points HP are set for the player characters Ca to Cd as their physical strength and vitality. In the battle, for example, when the attack on the enemy characters Ea to Ec by the player characters Ca to Cd is interrupted or after the turn Tu is repeated a predetermined number of times, the player characters Ca to Cd are played by the enemy characters Ea to Ec. It is set to be attacked. When an attack by the enemy character is received, the hit points HP of the player characters Ca to Cd decrease according to the attack power. Note that the total HP amount of the player characters Ca to Cd is displayed in the battle field Fb as the HP gauge 62, for example, as shown in FIG.

  Here, as each of the player characters Ca to Cd, for example, relatively few damages are given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec as a plurality of types of attack techniques that can be delivered (activated) to the enemy characters Ea to Ec. A “normal skill” and a “deadly technique” with relatively large damage are preset. It should be noted that the damage that can be given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec by these normal and special moves may always be set as a steady value, for example, the player characters Ca to Cd and / or the enemy characters Ea to Ec. It may be set so as to change appropriately according to the attributes (strength level, experience level, etc.), the compatibility between the player characters Ca to Cd and the enemy character, the type of battle quest, and the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a numerical value indicating how many times the enemy character is attacked with “normal skill” is displayed near each player character. For example, in FIG. 5, in the figure 8 arranged in the vicinity of the player character Ca, information indicating that the deadly technique is activated by “3” attacks after the normal technique is shown, and the player character In the figure 8 arranged in the vicinity of Cc, information is displayed that the special technique is activated by “1” attack after the normal technique.

  In this setting, in the example shown in FIG. 5, when the player character Ca, for example, repeats “normal skill” three times consecutively against the enemy characters Ea to Ec before being attacked by the enemy character, a plurality of times. A combination of normal techniques (so-called “combos”) occurs, and “Special Moves” are activated as rewards. The arithmetic processing unit 101 determines whether or not this combo has occurred (step S7). When the condition is satisfied (Yes in step S7), a screen on which the “deadly technique” of the player character Ca is activated (the deadly technique activation) Screen) is displayed on the screen 2a (step S8). Thereby, more serious damage can be given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec. Similarly, when the player character Cc performs “normal skill” once more against the enemy characters Ea to Ec, the combo is established and the “deadly technique” is activated, and the deadly technique animation screen of the player character Cc is displayed on the screen. 2a is displayed (step S8). It should be noted that the player can specify a specific enemy character from the enemy characters Ea to Ec, for example, and attack in a concentrated manner.

  As described above, the player can select a plurality of the same character cards in succession, and the same player character corresponding to the character card can send out the “normal technique” to the enemy characters a plurality of times in succession. If this happens, a combo will be generated and you will be able to activate the “Death Technique”. Therefore, in order to advantageously develop a battle with the enemy character in the turn Tu, the player can make a consumable amount of AP and action points specific to the player characters Ca to Cd within the limited time in step S4 described above. In addition to comparatively weighing AP and agility RP, it is required to develop an advanced strategy or strategy on how to generate a combo.

  Although not shown, numerical information indicating how many times the enemy character is attacked when the enemy character is attacked may be displayed in the vicinity of each enemy character. In this way, the player can check the timing of the attack by the enemy character (in other words, how many times he can afford to attack the enemy character before receiving the attack from the enemy character). Therefore, the interest of selecting a suitable character card from the palette Fp is increased while further considering the information.

  On the other hand, when any one of the player characters Ca to Cd cannot continuously send out the “normal technique” attacks multiple times in the turn Tu (step S7 without generating a combo). No), for example, the battle is over and the result is displayed on the screen 2a (step S9). As the result of the battle, for example, the remaining amount of physical strength and vitality of the enemy characters Ea to Ec, which are indicators of damage given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec, the remaining amount of AP total amount (the final state of the AP gauge 61 in the turn Tu) ), The remaining amount of the total amount of HP (the final state of the HP gauge 62 in the turn Tu).

  By performing the above steps S3 to S9, the first (first) turn Tu is completed, and the arithmetic processing unit 101 determines whether the remaining AP amount is greater than 0 and the remaining HP amount is greater than 0. (Step S10). When the condition is satisfied, that is, when both the action point AP and the hit point HP remain, the turn Tu (second and subsequent times) 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, the battle type quest is ended, and the game is ended as necessary.

  According to the server device 100 configured as described above, its control method, game program, and 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, D34 candidates are once displayed on the palette Fp, and the player can appropriately select a character card to be actually used for the attack of the enemy characters Ea to Ec. Since another new character card is replenished to the palette Fp, the player can further select a character card to be used for attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec from the palette Fp.

  Thereby, the player can change the structure of the set of character cards for making an attack on the enemy characters Ea to Ec one after another according to his / her choice intention. Therefore, the player's intention and judgment (the success or failure of the strategy and strategy assembled by the player) are effectively reflected in the result of the battle event. As a result, the player's ingenuity in the battle event is drawn, This makes it possible to improve the interest and interest of a battle event that has become a difficult task. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game or continue the game can be sufficiently increased, and the fun and excitement of the entire game can be amplified or increased.

  Also, the player compares the consumable AP total amount set for the turn Tu, the specific action points AP set for the player characters Ca to Cd, and the agility RP within a limited time. Since it is required to efficiently select a tactically effective character card while considering, it is possible to increase the player's discretion in the battle-type quest and to satisfy the player's interesting desire it can. In addition, in order to win a battle with the enemy characters Ea to Ec, it is also necessary to develop a more sophisticated and detailed strategy or strategy, such as how to generate a combo that can be used to execute a “deadly skill”. Thus, the player's discretion in the battle quest can be further increased. As a result, the fun and excitement of the entire game can be further amplified or increased, and the player's willingness to participate in the game can be further synergistically increased.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, this invention is not limited to said embodiment and the modification already described, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the limit which does not change the summary. For example, the configuration of the server device 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is applicable to the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 that are the terminal devices 2 although there are differences in processing capability and the like. In other words, the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 can be used as the server device 100. That is, any computer device connected via the network 200 can function as a server device.

  Further, the server device 100 is configured to perform the same function as a memory device loaded in the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, 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 by RAID or the like, and may not be connected to the arithmetic processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120. As part of the networking, it may be connected to another external device or the like via the network 200.

  Furthermore, the network interface in the server device 100 and the terminal device 2 may be either a wireless LAN device or a wired LAN device, and may be either installed inside or of an external device type such as a LAN card. . Furthermore, as the terminal device 2, a game machine that can be connected to the network 200 may be used. In addition, for example, a communication karaoke device may be used.

  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, and in this case, an attack on the enemy character by the player character of the player player and the player character of the other player is combined. When generated, it may be possible to activate another technique (for example, “cooperating special technique” if it is named) having a greater attack power than that of each “special technique”. In addition, it is difficult when the player selects the character card having a small agility RP and a large action point AP to undesirably increase the number of times the combo is generated (when exceeding the assumed limit). In order to increase the degree, processing for increasing the frequency of attacks by enemy characters may be executed. As a technique for that purpose, for example, a process of appropriately reducing the number of times until the above-described attack by the enemy character is given.

  As described above, the server device, the control method, the program, and the game system of the present invention draw out the ingenuity of the player in the battle event, and improve the interest and preference of the battle event, which has become a monotonous work in the past. As a result, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to participate in or continue the game, and to amplify or increase the fun and excitement of the entire game. Widely and effectively used for general distribution, provision, and implementation of games, software and hardware related technologies related to distribution, provision, and implementation of such games, as well as their design, manufacturing, and sales activities. be able to.
