Japanese Patent No. 2794230

  The turn-type battle system is a static system in which a battle starts when a command input by a player is completed. On the other hand, the real-time battle system measures the time corresponding to the character for each character, and accepts the command input from the player for the character for which the time has been completed. Done. In this way, the real-time battle system is more dynamic than the turn-type battle system because the enemy character performs an action such as an attack even if the player does not input a command to the time-completed character. It is.

  However, since the conventional real-time battle system is advantageous when the player's character performs an action before the enemy character, it is easy for the player to simply input commands to the characters for which time measurement has been completed. Therefore, there is a problem that the conventional real-time battle system may be perceived by the player as a battle system with a monotonous and low strategy.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to accept a highly-reserved action reservation from a player in a game.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a control that enables an action reservation for each of a plurality of characters including one or more player characters and one or more enemy characters when a predetermined time elapses. And a reservation registration means for reserving and registering a player character that can be reserved for action by an operation of the player, and for registering and registering an enemy character that can be reserved for the action regardless of the operation of the player, and the reservation of the action is possible Order determining means for determining the action order of the character based on the timing at which the character is reserved and registered, display means for displaying an action reservation lane indicating the reserved and registered character and the action order of the character, The reserved character is caused to act according to the action order, and the player character and the enemy Characterized in that a match means for executing a battle between Yarakuta, an information processing apparatus including a.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to accept a highly strategic action reservation from a player in a game.

<Processing>
《Battle screen》
The battle screen according to the present embodiment is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is an image diagram of an example of a battle screen according to the present embodiment. The battle screen 1000 shown in FIG. 6 includes an attack reservation lane 1001, a panel 1003 on which a face picture of a player character (hereinafter referred to as a player character) is displayed, a player character and an enemy character (hereinafter referred to as an enemy character). A character arrangement column 1004 to be arranged is displayed.

  The character arrangement field 1004 of the battle screen 1000 indicates the arrangement positions of the player character and the enemy character with 3 × 3 squares. The player character is arranged at a 3 × 3 arrangement place on the right side of the character arrangement column 1004. Enemy characters are placed at the 3 × 3 placement location on the left side of the character placement field 1004. The player character and the enemy character are arranged so as to face each arrangement location of the character arrangement column 1004. FIG. 6 shows an example in which there are five player characters and three enemy characters. The player character may include a character borrowed from another player (a so-called assistant character).

  A panel 1003 on which the face picture of the player character is displayed is a button, and an operation for each player character can be received from the player. The attack range of each player character is shown in the upper right of the panel 1003 of each player character. Details of the attack range of each player character will be described later.

  The player character and the enemy character have an active state in which an attack reservation is accepted and an inactive state in which an attack reservation is not accepted. The player character and the enemy character change from the inactive state to the active state when a predetermined time set for each player character and enemy character elapses. In addition, the player character and the enemy character return to the inactive state when accepting the attack reservation, and change from the inactive state to the active state again after a predetermined time. The predetermined time for changing from the inactive state to the active state differs for each player character and enemy character, and can be set by parameters such as quickness set for each player character and enemy character.

  For example, in the case of an anti-computer battle performed by the CPU 406, the enemy character's attack reservation is made at the attack reservation timing generated by the game execution unit 12. For example, in the case of an interpersonal battle performed by another player, the enemy character's attack reservation is performed at the timing of the attack reservation transmitted from the other game device 1. The game execution unit 12 determines the order of registration in the attack reservation lane 1001 by comparing the timing of the player character's attack reservation made by the player with the timing of the enemy character's attack reservation made by the CPU 406 or another player.

  Note that the timing at which the player character changes from the inactive state to the active state can be represented by a change in the color of the face picture corresponding to each player character on the panel 1003.

  In FIG. 6, the brightness of the entire face picture of the player character in the inactive state is reduced and displayed, and the brightness of the face picture is returned at the timing when a predetermined time set for each player character elapses. By increasing the original luminance portion as time passes, the player is shown the timing of changing to the active state. As a display method of increasing the original luminance portion with the passage of time, increasing the original luminance portion from left to right, top to bottom, and from the periphery to the center can be considered.

  Further, the timing at which the enemy character changes from the inactive state to the active state is represented by a change in the color of the weapon mark 1005 displayed above the enemy character placed in the character placement field 1004. For example, the weapon mark 1005 changes its color from blue, yellow, and red so that the color of the weapon mark 1005 becomes red at a timing when a predetermined time set for each enemy character elapses.

  The way of expressing the timing at which the enemy character changes from the inactive state to the active state is not limited to the change in the color of the weapon mark 1005. The timing at which the enemy character changes from the inactive state to the active state may be represented, for example, by an effect that water accumulates in the weapon mark 1005 or may be represented by a countdown effect.

  The active player character accepts an attack reservation request by an operation (for example, a tap) on the panel 1003 from the player. An active player character that has received a request for an attack reservation from a player is registered for an attack by being registered in a panel (reservation frame) flowing from the right to the left in the attack reservation lane 1001.

  Similarly, an enemy character in an active state is also reserved for an attack by being registered in the panel that flows from the right to the left in the attack reservation lane 1001. The enemy character in the active state is reserved for an attack by being registered in the panel on the attack reservation lane 1001 at a timing set by a program, for example.

  Here, details of the attack reserved lane 1001 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an example of an attack reservation lane. In the attack reservation lane 1001 of FIG. 7, panels 1002-1 to 1002-5 flowing from right to left are displayed.

  The player character or enemy character registered in the panel 1002-1 that has reached the leftmost performs an attack. That is, in the example of FIG. 7, the player characters or enemy characters registered in the panels 1002-2 to 1002-4 attack in order. Panel 1002-5 represents the type of panel that can be registered next, and no player character or enemy character is registered in panel 1002-5. In the example of FIG. 7, the player can recognize that the panel that can be registered next is an empty panel (no effect).

  On the panels 1002-1 to 1002-4 on the attack reservation lane 1001, face pictures of player characters or enemy characters reserved for attack are displayed. In this way, the attack reservation lane 1001 visualizes the order of attack of the player character and the enemy character.

  Some panels 1002-1 to 1002-5 on the attack reservation lane 1001 have some effect. In the example of FIG. 7, a “skill” panel 1002-3 capable of activating skills is displayed. Hereinafter, the panel 1002 is simply referred to as any panel 1002-1 to 1002-5.

  The effect of the panel 1002 can be obtained at the timing when the player character or enemy character registered in the panel 1002 attacks. For example, a player character whose skill can be activated by an attack registered in the “skill” panel 1002-3 can be used to make a skill activation reservation by an operation (for example, swipe) different from the player's request for an attack reservation to the panel 1003. Accept the request.

  In addition to the effects that enable the ability to activate skills, the effects of the panel 1002 include, for example, the acquisition of skill points for activating skills, the enhancement of temporary or permanent attack and defense, and the recovery of physical strength. There are things that change the parameters. Further, the effect of the panel 1002 is that the player character or enemy character registered in the panel 1002 changes the attack order by, for example, interrupting to the leftmost, and the attack characteristics (attributes) set for each character. There may be one that activates a specific effect when the attack characteristics set on the panel 1002 match, or one that increases the attack range of the player character or enemy character registered on the panel 1002. Furthermore, the effect which the panel 1002 has may change the parameter of enemy characters, such as an enemy character's attack power down and defense power down.

  Furthermore, by continuously registering player characters on the panel 1002 of the attack reservation lane 1001, a continuous attack (so-called combo) may be activated. For example, an advantageous effect for the player, such as an attack up or an additional attack, may be activated during the combo. Note that the combo ends when the enemy character attacks when the enemy character's continuous registration to the panel 1002 is interrupted due to the registration of the enemy character to the panel 1002 of the attack reservation lane 1001. Also, the combo is determined to be that the continuous registration of the attack reservation by the player character has been interrupted by the defense reservation and the recovery reservation registration to the panel 1002 of the attack reservation lane 1001, and ends when the defense and the recovery are performed. .

  A player who wants to attack as soon as possible than the enemy character has the greatest number of attacks by registering an attack reservation as soon as the player character becomes active. On the other hand, since the timings at which a plurality of player characters become active are different, if an active player character is immediately reserved for an attack, enemy characters are registered between the player character and the player character's attack, and the combo is connected successfully. Absent. Therefore, by waiting for all the player characters to be in an active state while resisting the attack of the enemy character, and continuously registering the attack reservations of the player characters, it is possible to generate combos corresponding to the number of characters.

  In this way, the combo function requires the player to immediately determine whether to register an attack reservation or whether to wait without registering an attack reservation aiming for the combo. Acceptance can be made possible.

  Returning to FIG. 6, an “AUTO” button 1006 provided at the upper left of the battle screen 1000 is a button for automatically shifting the player character in the active state to the panel 1002 of the attack reservation lane 1001 to shift to the auto mode. is there. The player can automate the battle by pressing an “AUTO” button 1006. Since automation eliminates the need for player intervention, the player can easily play, but as described above, the player character is registered as soon as the player enters the active state, making it difficult to connect combos. The player can end the battle by defeating all enemy characters on the battle screen 1000.

《Battle processing》
The battle process according to the present embodiment is performed in a procedure as shown in FIG. 8, for example. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an example of the battle process of the present embodiment. Here, the battle process in the game apparatus 1 in FIG. 4 will be described as an example, but the battle process in the information processing system in FIG. 5 is the same except for the communication between the client terminal 2 and the game server apparatus 3.

  In step S11, the game execution part 12 of the game device 1 starts the process after step S12, if a battle generate | occur | produces in a game. In step S12, the game execution unit 12 performs an initial battle screen display process, and displays an initial battle screen 1000 as shown in FIG.

  In step S13, the game execution unit 12 performs a process related to the game and advances the game. For example, the character control unit 20 of the game execution unit 12 starts counting (clocking) a predetermined time of the player character and the enemy character, and controls display indicating the active state and the inactive state of the player character and the enemy character.

  In step S <b> 14, the lane control unit 22 and the attack reservation receiving unit 24 of the game execution unit 12 perform an attack reservation receiving process as described later, and register a player character or enemy character on the panel on the attack reservation lane 1001. In step S15, the attack execution unit 26 of the game execution unit 12 performs an attack execution process for the player character or enemy character registered in the leftmost panel.

  In step S16, the game executing unit 12 returns to step S13 and continues the process if the battle has not ended. Further, the game execution unit 12 ends the battle process of FIG. 8 if the battle has ended.

《Initial battle screen display processing》
The initial battle screen display process in step S12 shown in FIG. 8 is performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an example of the initial battle screen display process.

  In step S21, the lane control unit 22 generates lane information. FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram of an example of lane information. The lane information shown in FIG. 10 has lane panel ID, effect, execution order, and registered character ID as data items.

  The lane panel ID is identification information for uniquely identifying a panel on the attack reservation lane 1001. The effect is effect information representing the effect of the panel specified by the lane panel ID. Note that the effect information of the panel having no effect is blank. The effect of the panel may be set randomly or according to a predetermined rule.

  The execution order is execution order information representing the execution order of the panel specified by the lane panel ID. For example, the execution order information starts from “5” and decreases by one each time an attack by the player character or enemy character is executed. The player character or enemy character registered in the panel whose execution order information is “1” next attacks.

  The registered character ID is the character ID of the player character or enemy character registered in the panel specified by the lane panel ID. The initial battle screen display process is a process before the player character or enemy character is registered in the panel. Accordingly, the registered character ID is blank in the lane information generated in step S21.

  In step S22, the lane control unit 22 displays the attack reserved lane 1001 on the initial battle screen 1000, and displays a panel using the lane information generated on the attack reserved lane 1001.

  In step S23, the character control unit 20 displays a panel 1003 on which the player character's face picture is displayed on the initial battle screen 1000 using display information as shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram of an example of display information. The display information shown in FIG. 11 includes data items such as a character ID, an image ID, a chibi character image ID, a character panel position, a grid position, an active state start time, and a skill count value.

  The character ID is identification information for uniquely identifying a player character or enemy character. The image ID is identification information for uniquely identifying the face picture image of the player character or enemy character identified by the character ID. The chibi character image ID is identification information for uniquely identifying the whole body image (chibi character image) of the player character or enemy character specified by the character ID.

  The character panel position is position information indicating the position on the panel 1003 that displays the face picture of the player character specified by the character ID. For example, the face picture of the player character whose character panel position is “1” is displayed at the top of the panel 1003.

  The grid position is position information indicating the position of the character arrangement column 1004 displaying the player character or enemy character specified by the character ID. The arrangement location of the character arrangement column 1004 can be uniquely specified by the grid position. The active state start time represents the time for the player character or enemy character specified by the character ID to change from the inactive state to the active state. The skill count value is information indicating whether or not the player character specified by the character ID can activate the skill.

  The character control unit 20 can display the panel 1003 on which the player character's face picture is displayed on the initial battle screen 1000 using the character ID, image ID, and character panel position of the display information of FIG. The attack range of each player character displayed on the upper right of the panel 1003 can be displayed using character information as shown in FIG. 12, for example.

  FIG. 12 is a configuration diagram of an example of character information. The character information in FIG. 12 has character IDs, attack characteristics, physical strength, attack power, defense power, and quickness as data items. The character ID is identification information for uniquely identifying a player character or enemy character. The attack characteristic is attack characteristic information indicating the attack characteristic of the player character or the enemy character such as a slash characteristic, a slash characteristic, and a hit characteristic. For attack characteristics, attack ranges such as horizontal 3 squares, vertical 3 squares, and square 4 squares are set. Therefore, the attack range of each player character displayed on the upper right of the panel 1003 can be displayed using the attack characteristic information of the character information.

  Further, the physical strength, attack power, defense power, and quickness of the character information in FIG. 12 are information representing the physical strength, attack power, defense power, and quickness of the player character or enemy character. The attack characteristics, physical strength, attack power, defense power, and quickness of the character information in FIG. 12 are examples of parameters of the player character or enemy character.

  In step S24, the character control unit 20 displays the chibi character in the character arrangement field 1004 of the initial battle screen 1000 using the display information shown in FIG. 11 and the character information shown in FIG.

  The character control unit 20 can display the player character's chibi character in the character placement field 1004 of the initial battle screen 1000 using the character ID, chibi character image ID, and grid position of the display information of FIG. In addition, the character control unit 20 uses the character ID, the chibi character image ID, the grid position of the display information in FIG. 11 and the attack characteristics of the character information in FIG. Character Chibi characters can be displayed.

《Attack reservation reception processing》
The attack reservation acceptance process in step S14 shown in FIG. 8 can be performed, for example, according to the procedure shown in FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of an example of attack reservation acceptance processing.

  In step S31, whether or not the attack reservation receiving unit 24 of the game execution unit 12 has received an attack reservation request by an operation such as tapping or pressing the panel (character panel) 1003 on which the face picture of the active player character is displayed. Determine.

  If the attack reservation receiving unit 24 determines that the attack reservation request has been received, the lane control unit 22 refers to the lane information of FIG. 10 in step S32, and among the panels of the attack reserved lane 1001 in which the registered character ID is not registered, Select the panel with the least execution order. Then, the lane control unit 22 registers the character ID of the player character that has received the attack reservation request in the registered character ID of the selected panel. If the attack reservation receiving unit 24 determines that the attack reservation request is not received, the lane control unit 22 skips the process of step S32.

  In step S33, the attack reservation receiving unit 24 of the game executing unit 12 determines whether there is an active enemy character. If there is an active enemy character, the lane control unit 22 refers to the lane information in step S34, and selects the panel with the smallest execution order from the panels of the attack reserved lane 1001 in which the registered character ID is not registered.

  Then, the lane control unit 22 registers the character ID of the active enemy character in the registered character ID of the selected panel. If the attack reservation accepting unit 24 determines that there is no active enemy character, the lane control unit 22 skips the process of step S34.

  The process of registering the character ID of the enemy character in the active state in step S34 in the registered character ID of the lane information may be performed, for example, immediately after entering the active state, or for a predetermined time after entering the active state. May be performed after the elapse of time, or may be performed after waiting for a timing at which the player's combo can be cut in consideration of the effect of the panel on the attack reservation lane 1001 and the player's combo. .

  The face picture of the player character or enemy character that has been reserved for attack is displayed on the panel on the attack reservation lane 1001 of the battle screen 1000 by the attack reservation acceptance process of FIG. FIG. 14 is an image diagram of an example of a battle screen in which a face picture of a player character for which an attack is reserved is displayed on a panel on the attack reservation lane. In the battle screen 1000 of FIG. 14, the face picture of the player character who has made an attack reservation is displayed on the panel 1002-1 on the attack reservation lane 1001.

  Further, the face picture of the enemy character reserved for attack is displayed on the panel on the attack reservation lane 1001 of the battle screen 1000 by the attack reservation acceptance process of FIG. 13 as shown in FIG. 15, for example. FIG. 15 is an image diagram of an example of a battle screen in which face pictures of enemy characters reserved for attack are displayed on a panel on the attack reservation lane. In the battle screen 1000 of FIG. 15, a face picture of an enemy character reserved for attack is displayed on the panel 1002-1 on the attack reservation lane 1001.

《Strategies when registering player characters to the panel on the attack reservation lane》
Here, a strategy for registering a player character in the panel 1002 on the attack reservation lane 1001 will be described. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing how a player character is registered in a panel on an attack reservation lane.

  FIG. 16A shows a state before player characters and enemy characters are registered in the panels 1002-1 to 1002-5 on the attack reservation lane 1001. FIG. The panel 1002-2 has an effect of increasing the attack power by 1.5 times.

  Therefore, the player can obtain an effect of increasing the attack power of the panel 1002-2 by 1.5 times by registering the player character in the panel 1002-2. However, if the player makes an attack reservation request to the active player character in the state of FIG. 16A, the player character is registered in the panel 1002-1 as shown in FIG. Cannot gain the effect of 1.5 times the attack power possessed by.

  Therefore, even if the player character becomes active, the player waits until an enemy character is registered in the panel 1002-1 as shown in FIG. 16 (c), and then makes a request for an attack reservation for the active player character. Thus, a player character can be registered in a useful panel 1002-2 having an advantageous effect.

  As described above, according to the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the panel 1002-1 to 1002- on the attack reservation lane 1001 is not a monotonous operation of requesting an attack reservation immediately after the player character becomes active. It is necessary to make a request for attack reservation while taking into account the effects of 5. That is, the game apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can realize a highly strategic attack reservation reception in which the player character and the enemy character use the useful panel 1002 on the attack reservation lane 1001.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing a state in which player characters are continuously registered in the panel on the attack reservation lane. In FIG. 17, in the state where the player character is registered in the panel 1002-1 on the attack reservation lane 1001, by registering the player character in the panel 1002-2 that is continuous to the panel 1002-1, the player character is registered in the panel 1002-2. The played player character activates a continuous attack (so-called combo). Accordingly, in FIG. 17, “COMBO” indicating the activation of the combo is displayed below the panel 1002-2. In the example of FIG. 17, “COMBO” is not displayed for the player character that will start the combo.

  By activating the combo, the player character registered in the panel 1002-2 can activate advantageous effects for the player, such as an attack-up and an additional attack. FIG. 17 shows an example in which player characters are registered in two consecutive panels 1002-1 and 1002-2 on the attack reservation lane 1001, but by registering player characters in three or more panels 1002 in succession. You can connect combos.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing how combos are connected. FIG. 18 shows a state in which player characters are continuously registered in the two panels 1002-3 and 1002-4 on the attack reservation lane 1001 from the state of FIG.

  In FIG. 18, in the state where the player character is registered in the panel 1002-2 on the attack reservation lane 1001, the player character is registered in the panels 1002-3 and 1002-4 that are continuous to the panel 1002-2, so that the panel 1002 is registered. -3, 1002-4, the player character activates a continuous attack (so-called combo). Therefore, in FIG. 18, “COMBO” indicating the activation of the combo is displayed below the panels 1002-3 and 1002-4. For example, the effect activated by the combo can be more advantageous for the player as the number of combos is increased.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing how the combo is interrupted. FIG. 19 shows a state in which enemy characters are registered in the panel 1002-5 on the attack reservation lane 1001 from the state of FIG.

  In FIG. 19, enemy characters are registered in the panel 1002-5 that is continuous with the panel 1002-4 in a state where the player characters are continuously registered in the panels 1002-2 to 1002-4 on the attack reservation lane 1001. This breaks the combo.

  Therefore, according to the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the player character is quickly registered to the panel 1002 so that the combo is not interrupted by being interrupted by an enemy character, or the useful panel 1002 can be obtained even if the combo is intentionally cut. It is possible to accept a highly strategic attack reservation such as whether to aim for registration of a player character.

  In addition, when the enemy character registered in the panel 1002-5 is defeated before attacking in the state of FIG. 19, by deleting the panel 1002-5, the player is given a panel 1002-6 that is continuous to the panel 1002-5. If a character is registered, it is good also as a specification which a combo connects again.

  Furthermore, the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment may have a specification that can cancel the registration to the panel 1002. By making the player character whose registration to the panel 1002 canceled an active state, it is possible to realize an attack reservation with a higher strategy. In addition, the player character registered in the panel 1002 at the time when the battle is ended may be set to a specification in which the player character is activated from the beginning in the next battle or a specification for giving a bonus such as an experience value.

  Thus, according to the game apparatus 1 of this embodiment, a highly strategic battle system can be realized in the game.

《Attack execution processing》
The attack execution process of step S15 shown in FIG. 8 is performed by the procedure shown in FIG. 20, for example. FIG. 20 is a flowchart of an example of attack execution processing.

  In step S41, the attack execution unit 26 of the game execution unit 12 refers to the lane information in FIG. 10 and selects the panel of the attack reserved lane 1001 corresponding to the execution order “1”. The attack execution unit 26 acquires the character ID of the player character or enemy character registered in the panel from the registered character ID of the selected panel.

  In step S42, the attack execution unit 26 refers to the character information in FIG. 12, and acquires character information corresponding to the character ID acquired in step S41. In step S43, the attack execution unit 26 acquires the effect of the panel selected in step S41 from the lane information of FIG.

  When the panel effect is acquired in step S43, the attack execution unit 26 reflects the panel effect in the character information acquired in step S42 in step S44. Then, the attack execution unit 26 proceeds to step S44, and uses the character information reflecting the effect of the panel to attack the player character or enemy character registered in the panel.

  If the effect of the panel cannot be acquired in step S43, the attack execution unit 26 uses the character information acquired in step S42 to attack the player character or enemy character registered in the panel.

  In step S45, the attack execution unit 26 notifies the lane control unit 22 that the panel attack corresponding to the execution order “1” has ended. The lane control unit 22 decrements the execution order of the lane information in FIG. In step S46, the attack execution unit 26 deletes the lane information record of FIG. 10 whose execution order is “0”, and resets the new execution order “5” record to the lane information of FIG.

  Further, the attack execution unit 26 also deletes the record of the lane information in which the player character or the enemy character that has become incapable of acting on the way is registered, and resets the new execution order “5” record to the lane information of FIG.

  In step S47, the attack execution unit 26 notifies the character control unit 20 of the character ID of the player character or enemy character who made the attack. The character control unit 20 refers to the display information of FIG. 11 and updates the active state start time corresponding to the character ID of the player character or enemy character who made the attack.

  The active state start time is updated by using the “quickness” parameter of the character information of the player character or enemy character specified by the character ID. For example, a player character or an enemy character whose character information “quickness” is small sets a long time to return from the inactive state to the active state. A player character or enemy character with a large “quickness” in the character information sets a short time to return from the inactive state to the active state.

  Note that the attack of the player character or enemy character in step S44 is performed on the attack range set by the attack characteristics of the character information in FIG. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining an example of the attack range of a player character or enemy character.

  FIG. 21A shows the attack range “horizontal 3 squares” when the attack characteristic is “slashing characteristic” by “◯”. FIG. 21B shows the attack range “vertical 3 squares” when the attack characteristic is “striking characteristic” by “◯”. FIG. 21C shows the attack range “square 4 square” when the attack characteristic is “hitting characteristic” by “◯”.

  Thus, in the game apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the attack range differs depending on the attack characteristics of the player character or enemy character. For example, in the battle screen 1000 of FIG. 21, enemy characters are arranged in three vertical boxes at the enemy character placement location in the character placement field 1004. In the case of the battle screen 1000 of FIG. 21, only the enemy character in the front row can attack in the attack range “horizontal 3 square” when the attack characteristic is “slashing characteristic”. However, in the attack range “vertical 3 squares” when the attack characteristic is “striking characteristic”, it is possible to attack enemy characters arranged in 3 vertical squares at once. According to the game device 1 of the present embodiment, the attack characteristics that enable an effective attack differ according to the arrangement of enemy characters on the character arrangement column 1004, so that the strategy becomes higher.

  By using such attack characteristics and combos, the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment can also provide the following advantageous effects to the player. While the combo is connected, the game apparatus 1 according to this embodiment counts the hit value every time one enemy character is attacked, and increases the attack power by 1.1 times or 1.2 times. Go. By combining the attack characteristics capable of attacking a plurality of enemy characters at once and a combo as described above, the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment can count a lot of hit values by the attack of one player character. The attack power while is connected can be greatly increased.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, in the case of an enemy character such as a boss (BOSS) having a hit determination indicated by “☆”, the player character's attack has an advantage and disadvantage due to the attack characteristics. Here, the boss has a plurality of hit determinations, but has only one physical strength value. For example, one BOSS Chibi character image having a hit determination in three vertical columns indicated by “☆” in FIG. 22 is displayed. At this time, when the attack of “slash characteristic” shown in FIG. 21A is performed, the attack range and the hit determination are common to “1 cell”, while the “striking characteristic” shown in FIG. ”Is common, the attack range and the hit determination are“ 3 squares ”. As a result, even if the attack power of any attack is the same, the amount of damage given to the BOSS by one attack is three times the “striking characteristic” of the “slashing characteristic”. Similarly, in the case of “batting characteristics”, the attack range and the hit determination are common to “2 cells”, so that “batting characteristics” can give twice as much damage as “slashing characteristics”. According to the game device 1 of the present embodiment, since the attack characteristics capable of performing an effective attack against a large enemy character that makes a hit determination at a plurality of locations are different, the strategy becomes higher.

《Skill Invocation》
Here, the activation of skills will be described. FIG. 23 is an image diagram visually representing a player character whose skills can be activated. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, a skill mark 1010 is displayed on the left side of the face picture on the panel 1003 of the player character that has been enabled to activate the skill.

  The player can display the skill-generated moving image plane as shown in FIG. 24 by performing an operation for displaying the skill-generated moving image surface such as swipe on the face picture on which the skill mark 1010 is displayed. FIG. 24 is an image diagram of an example of a skill-derived moving image surface. 24 includes a button 2002 for selecting a skill that can be activated, and a cancel button 2004 for returning to the battle screen 1000 in FIG.

  The player can request the skill to be activated by an operation (for example, a tap) on the button 2002. Note that the timing at which the skill is activated may be activated immediately, or may be activated according to the panel of the attack reservation lane 1001.

(Summary)
In the present embodiment, an example in which an effective panel of the attack reserved lane 1001 is exchanged with an enemy character in a battle occurring in the game has been described. However, an effective panel may be exchanged with a player character of another player.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to accept a highly strategic action reservation with tactics in consideration of the effects of the panel in a game in which the action order is matched with a battle character such as an enemy character or another player character.

  The present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
