Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-137534 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-22984 Japanese Patent No. 4693336

In so-called deck battle type games such as the above-mentioned conventional games, generally, a player or a character (hereinafter, simply referred to as "player") prepares in advance as a game setting when performing a card battle using a character card. A finite number of character cards (deck constituent characters) constituting one's own deck are selected from the plurality of character cards (for example, character cards owned by the player). At this time, the player, for example, confirms or predicts the individuality (strength, special skill, etc.) of the enemy character or the opponent player, and creates his / her deck constituent characters in an arbitrary and desired combination. Can be done.

However, in such a conventional game, once a deck (a set of deck composition characters) is created, the deck composition cannot be changed in one battle event (also called a quest, a turn, etc.), and the deck composition is fixed. It was configured so that attacks on enemy characters and opponent characters by the deck were automatically performed. Then, the player simply selects a character card at the battle event, which is the main entertainment element of the game, or, for example, repeatedly hits a button or switch for instructing an attack on an enemy character or an opponent character. I was only able to do very monotonous work.

In addition, the type and strength of attacks on enemy characters and opponent characters are usually determined according to the type, individuality, attributes, level, etc. of the characters that make up the deck.
Since the deck configuration is fixed and cannot be changed, even if multiple attacks are possible in one battle event, the variation of the attack is limited, and the battle event itself is uniform. In some cases, when the deck was constructed, the player could predict the whereabouts (win or lose) of the match to some extent.

As a result, there is a problem that the fun and the real pleasure of the whole game is diminished or lost as a result of the battle event, and the player cannot be motivated to participate in the game or continue the game.

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 fun and taste of the battle event, which has been a monotonous task in the past. Realize a server device, a control method, a program, and a game system capable of providing a game capable of increasing the motivation to participate in the game and continue the game, and to amplify or enhance the fun and enjoyment of the entire game. The purpose is.

In order to solve the above problems, the 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. It is provided with an information storage unit that stores information related to the game, and a control unit that accesses the information, executes calculations related to the game, and displays an image of the game on a terminal device.

Then, the information storage unit corresponds to a plurality of types of player characters associated with a predetermined battle event, at least one type of enemy character (opposite character), and each player character as a part of information related to the game. (Represents a player character)
Has information on game media. Further, the control unit uses a plurality of game media as a terminal device so that the player can select at least one desired game medium for attacking an enemy character from among the plurality of game media at a predetermined battle event. When the player selects a desired game medium from the game media displayed in the first field, the game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field (displayed in the first field of It may be erased from the display screen of the terminal device, or it may be displayed by moving the place to an area other than the first field such as the second field described later), and a new game medium to replace the removed game medium. The game medium is replenished to the first field.

The "game medium" refers to contents and items that can be owned and managed by the player in the game, and examples thereof include a character card, an avatar, a figure, and the like associated with the player character. They are handled in the virtual space (virtual game space) on the game, and are concepts including so-called "objects" and the like. In addition, the "game medium" is something that directly reminds the player character or indirectly (for example, the name, name, weapon, clothes, costume, spell, magic, technique, related character, etc. of the player character). May be, and moreover
It may be displayed as a still image or a moving image, or it may be represented by simple text information instead of an image, and in some cases, even if it cannot be visually recognized, for example, voice information. It may be recognizable only by hearing.

The player connects the terminal device to the server device configured in this way via a communication line, and then connects the terminal device.
You can play a game that includes a given match event online or offline. In the game, the control unit provided in the server device accesses the information related to the game stored in the information storage unit, executes various calculations related to the game using the information, and the game as a result of the calculation. While displaying the image on the terminal device as a game screen, the game can be advanced according to the setting of the game.

In addition, in a predetermined battle event of the game, the terminal device (
A plurality of game media corresponding to the player character are displayed in the first field on the display screen), and the player desires to select a game medium for attacking the enemy character from the plurality of game media. be able to. Furthermore, from the first field,
The game medium selected by the player is removed, and new game medium is replenished to the first field from time to time in its place.

As described above, in the present invention, so-called candidates for the game medium selected by the player in order to attack the enemy character by the player character are once displayed in the first field, and the player actually selects the candidates from among them. The game medium used to attack the enemy character can be appropriately selected. Then, since new game media are replenished to the first field at any time, the player can further select a game medium to be used for attacking the enemy character from the first field. As a result, the set of game media (combination; for example, the one corresponding to the above-mentioned conventional deck configuration) selected by the player is not fixed and fixed at the time of the battle event, but at one predetermined battle event. It can change sequentially and desired depending on the player's intention to select. As a result, the player's intention and judgment can be determined.
It will be reflected in the result of the victory or defeat of the competition event.

More specifically, the information storage unit further has information on the first parameter value (amount) set for each player character and / or for each game medium as a part of the information related to the game. , When the control unit replenishes the first field with a new game medium in place of the game medium removed from the first field, the type of game medium to be replenished 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" (type of parameter, not value) is the agility of the player character (behavior or attack). (Agility, agility), action points of individual or multiple player characters (action points; AP, etc.)
Physical strength or vitality (hit points; HP, etc.), attack power against enemy characters, strength of techniques that can be used by player characters, and the like. In addition, "based on the first parameter value"
That is, not only when the type of game medium to be replenished is uniformly determined by the first parameter value, but also when it is determined according to the appearance probability weighted by using the magnitude of the first parameter value. Is also included.

In this way, the player predicts (anticipates) the type of new game medium to be replenished to some extent, as compared with the case where the new game medium to be replenished in the first field is arbitrarily (randomly) determined. ) It becomes easier. As a result, when the player selects a desired game medium from the first field, for example, a strategy or strategy for defeating an enemy character is performed according to various attributes set according to the type of the game medium. , It becomes possible to formulate effectively and intentionally. As a result, there is more room for the player to discretion in the battle event, and the intention and judgment of the player can be more strongly reflected in the result of the victory or defeat of the battle event.

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

These "second parameter" and "third parameter" (type of parameter, not value) are the same as the above-mentioned "first parameter", respectively, of the agility of the player character (of actions and attacks). Quickness), movement points (action points; AP, etc.), physical strength or vitality (hit points; HP, etc.) of individual or multiple player characters, attack power against enemy characters, techniques that can be used by the player character The strength and the like can be exemplified. Further, the "second parameter" may be the same as or different from the "first parameter" and / or the "third parameter", and the "third parameter" is also "third parameter". It may be the same as or different from the "first parameter" and / or the "second parameter".

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

Further, in this case, the control unit sequentially subtracts the second parameter value of the game medium selected by the player from the third parameter value, and adds a predetermined amount to the third parameter value at an appropriate timing. Alternatively, the battle event may be continued by recovering the upper limit of the third parameter value. Here, the “appropriate timing” is not particularly limited, and 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 of the third parameter value may be restored based on the damage given by the player character to the enemy character. Alternatively, or in addition, a cohesive value may be restored at the beginning or end of the turn.

Further, the information storage unit also has information on a plurality of types of techniques in which each player character can attack the enemy character and the damage given to the enemy character is different from each other as a part of the information related to the game. In the case where there are a plurality of game media selected by the player and the plurality of game media include those corresponding to the same player character, the control unit of the game medium corresponding to the same player character. Depending on the quantity,
A specific technique is determined from among multiple types of techniques that can be used by the same player character.
It can also be configured to inflict damage on the enemy character due to the determined specific technique.

In such a configuration, for example, by intentionally and continuously selecting game media corresponding to the same player character, in addition to the technique (normal technique) that the player character can normally use, a special technique different from that is used. A technique (for example, a special technique) can be activated (delivered) against an enemy character. In other words, in one battle event, a game element different from selecting the game medium is added, which greatly increases the variation of strategies and strategies for defeating the enemy character by the player, and the player's discretion. There is even more room.

Further, the control unit displays a plurality of game media adjacent to each other in the first field (a kind of aligned state), removes the game media selected by the player from the first field, and then removes the game media. The game media remaining in the first field is rearranged so as to fill or fill the area where the game media was placed, and the area (blank area) generated by the rearrangement is replenished with new game media. Then, the remaining game media and the replenished new game media may be displayed in a state of being 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) by a moving image or the like.

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

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

Then, in this method, first, as a part of the information related to the game, a plurality of types of player characters and at least one type of enemy characters associated with a predetermined battle event, and each player character are stored in the information storage unit. Stores information on the game medium corresponding to. Then, the control unit sets a plurality of game media so that the player can select at least one desired game medium for attacking the enemy character from the plurality of game media at the time of a predetermined battle event. When the player selects a desired game medium from the game media displayed in the first field, the game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field. Control is performed to replenish the first field with a new game medium in place of the removed game medium.

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 as a part of information related to the game, the predetermined battle event is performed. To have a computer accessible to a plurality of types of associated player characters, at least one type of enemy character, and an information storage unit that stores information of a game medium corresponding to each player character perform the steps shown below. It is a thing.

That is, in that step, the step of accessing information, executing calculations related to the game, and displaying the image of the game on the terminal device, and at the time of a predetermined battle event, the player selects an enemy character from a plurality of game media. A step of displaying a plurality of game media in a first field on the terminal device so that at least one desired game medium for attacking the game can be selected, and a game medium displayed in the first field by the player. When a desired game medium is selected from among the above, the game medium selected by the player is removed from the first field, and a new game medium replacing the removed game medium is first.
Contains steps to replenish the field.

Furthermore, the game system according to the present invention is a terminal device operated by the player described above.

Then, as in the server device according to the present invention, the information storage unit, as a part of the information related to the game, a plurality of types of player characters and at least one type of enemy characters associated with a predetermined battle event, and each of them. It has information on the game medium corresponding to the player character, and the control unit selects at least one desired game medium for the player to attack the enemy character from among the plurality of game media at the time of a predetermined battle event. A plurality of game media are displayed in the first field of the terminal device so that they can be selected, and when the player selects a desired game medium from the game media displayed in the first field, the player selects the game medium. The removed game medium is removed from the first field, and a new game medium replacing the removed game medium is replenished in the first field.

According to the present invention, the player can appropriately select a game medium corresponding to the player character used to attack the enemy character in the battle event, and a new game medium replacing the selected game medium can be used at any time. Since it is replenished, the set of game media selected by the player can be sequentially and desiredly changed according to the player's intention to select.
As a result, it is possible to draw out the ingenuity of the player in the battle event and improve the fun and taste of the battle event, which has been a monotonous task in the past, and as a result, increase the motivation of the player to participate in the game and continue the game. Moreover, it is possible to amplify or enhance the fun and the real pleasure of the whole game.

Here, first, the player is the terminal device 2 (client computer 21 or mobile terminal 2).
2; Operate a tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.) and network such as the Internet 2
The terminal device 2 is connected to the server device 100 via 00. Further, by operating the terminal device 2, the player selects a game provided by the server device 100, or inputs login information such as an ID number and 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 S).
1). Further, in the example of this game, a banner listing a plurality of scenes (for example, location, dungeon, quest, etc.) set as game scenes is displayed on the My Page screen. The scenes such as these locations, dungeons, and quests may or may not be layered with each other or as individual structures.

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

Further explaining with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, as the processing procedure of this turn Tu, first, the event field Fe and the palette Fp are defined as the display area of the game image on the screen 2a of the terminal device 2, and the event fields Fe and the palette Fp are defined. Display each component in the display area. In the event field Fe in the present embodiment, the player character C represented by the circle shown in the solid line is shown.
a to Cd (friendly characters) are displayed as part of the component. Further, the palette Fp has character cards A31, B32, C33, and D corresponding to each of the player characters Ca to Cd (representing each of the player characters Ca to Cd) as its constituent elements.
It is a kind of "place" that displays 34. 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 a plurality of character cards A31, B32, C at the start of a certain turn Tu.
An arrangement example of 33 and D34 is shown. At this time, on the palette Fp of the screen 2a, three character cards A31 represented by the illustrated solid rectangle and one character card B32, C33, D34 each represented by the illustrated solid rectangle are displayed. It is displayed in a state where they are arranged adjacent to each other (a state in which they are arranged in a row). Each of the character cards A31 and C33 represented by the broken line rectangle in the figure is to be newly replenished later, and here, for convenience, they are displayed in the same drawing.

Here, each character card A31, B32, C33, D34 has "agility" (quickness) peculiar to the player characters Ca to Cd represented by each as the first parameter value.
On the screen 2a, the agility RP (A), RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D) of the character card A3 are set in advance so that the player can identify them.
It is displayed for each of 1, B32, C33, and D34. As a display mode of the "agility",
It is not particularly limited, and for example, it may be a numerical value, or it may be a graphic display having a different size, length, or quantity.

This "agility" is the character cards A31, B32, C33 that appear on the palette Fp.
, D34 influences the frequency (probability), and the arithmetic processing unit 101 has their agility R.
Based on the values of P (A), RP (B), RP (C), and RP (D), for example, the appearance frequency of the character card corresponding to the player character having a relatively large agility becomes relatively high. Perform the above arithmetic processing. 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, in the character cards A31, B32, C33, and D34, numerical values of "action points: AP" unique to the player characters Ca to Cd represented by each are preset. Further, on the screen 2a, the values of the action points are AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D) in a manner identifiable by the player, and the character cards A31, B32, It is displayed for each of C33 and D34. Further, the total amount of action point APs (total AP amount) that can be consumed for this turn Tu is also set.

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

Then, 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 that turn Tu. Will be done. The player is that A
The desired character card can be continuously selected until the total amount of P becomes 0 (zero). In other words, the player can select a desired character card within a range in which the total action point APs of the selected character cards do not exceed the total amount of APs.

As described above, the action point AP corresponds to the "second parameter" and the "third parameter", and the value of the action point AP peculiar 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 (up to this point, step S3).

With this setting, the player can consume the above-mentioned total amount of AP, character card A31.
, B32, C33, D34, respectively, the action points AP (A), AP (B), AP (C), AP (D), and agility RP (A) unique to the player characters Ca to Cd. , RP (B), RP (C), RP (D) are weighed in a complex manner, the character cards for attacking the enemy character are sequentially determined, and the character cards A31 once arranged and displayed on the palette Fp. , B32, C33, D34 can be selected.

Next, the character cards A31 and C33 selected by the player are set to the palette F.
It is removed from p and redisplayed as 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 is the palette F.
It may be displayed in the same state as the mode (shape, size, etc.) when it is displayed in p, or may be displayed in a state where the overall shape is reduced as shown in the figure, for example.

Note that FIG. 4 shows a state in which the 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 (not shown). The arrow Ya represents the trajectory of the "movement".) In this case, the event field Fe corresponds to the "second field". At this time, the AP gauge 61 in the event field Fe is filled with the total amount of AP, and the action point APs (1) indicated on the selected character cards A31 and C33 (
The state in which A) × 3 sheets + action point AP (C) × 1 sheet is subtracted is highlighted with diagonal lines.

In this way, the character cards A31 and C33 for attacking the enemy character are selected, and when they are moved and displayed from the palette Fp to the event field Fe, the character cards A31 and C33 are arranged on the palette Fp. There will be a blank in the area that was there. Immediately after that, the character cards B32 and D34 remaining on the palette Fp move (slide) to the left as shown in the drawing so as to fill or fill the blank area, and are newly shown by the broken line rectangle in FIG. New character cards including the character cards A31 and C33 appear from the right direction on the screen 2a and are replenished in 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). Up to step S4).

At this time, the arithmetic processing unit 101 indicates that the total AP amount in this turn Tu displayed on the AP gauge 61 is larger than 0 (zero), and for example, the time elapsed from the start of the turn Tu is larger than a preset predetermined time. It is always determined whether or not it is before (that is, before the elapse of a predetermined time) (step S5). When this condition is satisfied (Yes in step S5), the display of the event field Fe is continued in the upper region 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, if the condition is not satisfied (No in step S5), the arithmetic processing unit 101 shifts the processing to the next step (that is, the battle step). In that case, as shown in FIG. 5, the battle field Fb is displayed in the upper region of the palette Fp on the screen 2a instead of the event field Fe. In this battlefield Fb, in addition to the previously displayed player characters Ca to Cd, enemy characters Ea to Ec are displayed as its components. Further, at that time, the player characters Ca to Cd are displayed in another mode that symbolizes, for example, being in a battle state, unlike the mode (shape, arrangement, etc.) displayed in the event field Fe. It may be.

Further, prior to the start of the battle, the player characters Ca to Cd are set with, for example, a so-called hit point HP as their physical strength and vitality. Then, 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 based on the enemy characters Ea to Ec. It is set to be attacked. Then, when an enemy character attacks, the hit point HP of the player characters Ca to Cd decreases according to the attack power. The total amount of HP of the player characters Ca to Cd is displayed as an HP gauge 62 in the battle field Fb, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, so that the player can easily see it.

Here, the player characters Ca to Cd have, for example, enemy characters Ea to E as a plurality of types of attack techniques that can be delivered (activated) to the enemy characters Ea to Ec.
A "normal move" that causes relatively little damage to c and a "special move" that causes relatively large damage to c are preset. In addition, these normal moves and special moves are enemy characters Ea to Ec.
The damage that can be given to the player may always be set as a constant value, and for example, the attributes (strength level, experience level, etc.) of the player characters Ca to Cd and / or the enemy characters Ea to Ec, the player character Ca, etc. It may be set so as to be appropriately changed according to the compatibility between ~ Cd and the enemy character, the type of the battle type quest, and the like.

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

In such a setting, in the example shown in FIG. 5, if the player character Ca performs the "normal technique" against the enemy characters Ea to Ec three more times in a row before being attacked by the enemy character, for example, a plurality of times. A combination of normal moves (so-called "combo") occurs, and a "special move" is activated as a reward. The arithmetic processing unit 101 determines whether or not this combo has occurred (step S7), and if the condition is satisfied (step S7 is Yes), the screen on which the "special move" of the player character Ca is activated (special move activation). Screen) is displayed on screen 2a (step S8). As a result, it is possible to inflict greater damage on the enemy characters Ea to Ec. Similarly, the player character Cc is the enemy characters Ea to Ec.
On the other hand, when the "normal move" is performed one more time, the combo is established and the "special move" is activated, and the special move activation screen of the player character Cc is displayed on the screen 2a (step S8). In addition, it should be noted
The player can also specify, for example, one specific enemy character from among the enemy characters Ea to Ec, and concentrate on the attack.

As described above, the player can continuously select the same character card, and the same player character corresponding to the character card can continuously perform the "normal technique" to the enemy character. If so, a combo will occur and you can activate the "Special Move". Therefore, in order to advantageously develop the battle with the enemy character in Turn Tu, the player can consume A within the limited time in step S4 described above.
In addition to weighing the total amount of P, the action point AP unique to the player characters Ca to Cd, and the agility RP, it is required to formulate an advanced strategy or strategy such as how to create a combo. It becomes.

Further, although not shown, numerical information indicating how many times the enemy character is attacked to attack the player character may be displayed in the vicinity of each enemy character. In this way, the player can check the timing at which the enemy character attacks (in other words, how many more times he can afford to attack the enemy character before being attacked by the enemy character). Therefore, it is more interesting to select a suitable character card from the palette Fp while taking the information into consideration.

On the other hand, when any of the same player characters Ca to Cd cannot continuously perform a plurality of "normal technique" attacks in turn Tu (step S7 without combo occurring). Is No), for example, the battle is completed and the result is displayed on the screen 2a (step S9). As a result of such a battle, for example, the remaining amount of physical strength, vitality, etc. of the enemy characters Ea to Ec, which are indicators of the damage given to the enemy characters Ea to Ec, and the remaining amount of the total AP amount (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 at the turn Tu).

By executing the above steps S3 to S9, the first (first) turn Tu is completed, and the arithmetic processing unit 101 determines whether or not the remaining amount of AP is larger than 0 and the remaining amount of HP is larger than 0. (Step S10). If that condition is met, that is, if both the action point AP and the hit point HP remain, the turn Tu (2) of the competitive quest
The second and subsequent times) can be repeated again. On the other hand, if the condition is not satisfied, that is, if at least one of the action point AP and the hit point HP does not remain, this battle-type quest ends, and the game ends as necessary.

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

As a result, the player can sequentially and desiredly change the configuration of the set of character cards for attacking the enemy characters Ea to Ec according to his / her own choice.
Therefore, the player's intentions and judgments (good or bad of the strategy and strategy assembled by the player) are effectively reflected in the result of the victory or defeat of the battle event, and as a result, the player's ingenuity and ingenuity in the battle event are drawn out, and the conventional monotony. It is possible to improve the fun and taste of the competition event, which has become a difficult task. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently increase the motivation of the player to participate in the game and continue the game, and to amplify or enhance the fun and the real pleasure of the entire game.

In addition, the player has a total amount of AP that can be consumed for the turn Tu and a unique action point AP set for the player characters Ca to Cd within a limited time.
, And, since it is required to efficiently select a tactically effective character card while weighing the agility RP, it is possible to increase the player's discretion in the competitive quest, and it depends on the player. It can also satisfy entertaining desires. In addition, in order to win the battle with the enemy characters Ea to Ec, it is necessary to devise a more advanced and detailed strategy or strategy such as how to generate a combo that can perform "special move". Therefore, it is possible to further increase the discretionary room of the player in the competitive quest. As a result, it is possible to further amplify or enhance the fun and enjoyment of the entire game, and synergistically further increase the motivation of the player to participate in the game.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the modifications already described, and various modifications can be made without changing the gist thereof. For example, the configuration of the server device 100 shown in FIG. 1 has a difference in processing capacity and the like, but the terminal device 2
The client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 are also applicable. 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 functions as the memory device loaded in the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, the slot drive 108, etc. by using a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk or SSD. These storage devices may or may not be made redundant by RAID or the like, and may not be connected to the arithmetic processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120, for example, cloud computing. As a part of the ing, 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 they may be mounted inside or may be of an external device type such as a LAN card. .. Furthermore, as the terminal device 2, a game machine that can be connected to the network 200 may be used, and for example, a communication karaoke device can also 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, in which case the attacks on the enemy character by one's own player character and another player's player character both combo. When it occurs,
It may be possible to activate another technique (for example, "cooperative special move" if it is named) that has a larger attack power than each person's "special move". Further, the player selects only the character card having a small agility RP and a large action point AP.
If the number of times the combo occurs is inconveniently large (when the expected limit is exceeded), a process of increasing the frequency of attacks by the enemy character may be executed in order to increase the difficulty level. As a method for that, for example, a process of appropriately reducing the number of attacks by the enemy character described above can be mentioned.

As described above, the server device, its control method, the program, and the game system of the present invention bring out the ingenuity of the player in the battle event and improve the fun and taste of the battle event, which has been a monotonous task in the past. This makes it possible to increase the motivation of the player to participate in and continue the game, and to amplify or enhance the fun and enjoyment of the entire game. Therefore, especially in a server-client type network configuration. Widely and effectively used for general games that are distributed, provided, and implemented, general software and hardware-related technologies related to the distribution, provision, and implementation of the games, and activities such as their design, manufacture, and sales. be able to.
