The game device 3 configured as described above has a basic action command corresponding to a basic technique that the player can instruct the player character, and a derivative action command derived according to a combination of a plurality of basic action commands. During the battle, the player may select a plurality of player characters for the selected player character.
One of the four basic action commands can be selected, and when two or more commands of the four basic action commands match one of the derivative action commands, the matched two or more basic action commands are derived. It is configured to be replaced with an action command. Therefore, the game device 3
Is a basic technique table 62 (see FIG. 5) which is a first table storing a plurality of basic action commands, and a basic technique-derived technique table 63 (see FIG. 6) which is a second table storing derived action commands. ). The player
While looking at the list of basic action commands displayed on the display screen of the output device 2, an appropriate, for example, four basic action commands are selected from the list. The display control means for displaying a list of basic action commands is constituted by the graphic processing unit 36. The selection means for selecting the basic action commands, the judgment means, and the action replacement means include the CD-ROM 1
2 is realized by the control unit 31 executing the selection program, the determination program, and the action replacement program read in the second program.

FIG. 2 is a memory map showing an area configuration of the RAM 32 in a state where a program for executing a game is read from the CD-ROM 1. The RAM 32 has a program storage area 32 for storing programs to be executed by the CPU.

"Bow", "axe", "cane", etc. are set. The acquisition flag 61f is, for example, “1” as shown in the figure for a technique that is set to be usable in advance or a technique acquired by the player character in a battle or the like, and is “0” for an unusable technique.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the basic technique table 62. In the illustrated example, the basic skill table 62 includes:
As the basic techniques, “slash”, “pay”, “reserve”, “kesa slash”, “punch”, and the like are stored in association with respective technique numbers and attack powers. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the basic technique-derived technique table 63. In the illustrated example, for example, when the combination of the basic techniques is “cut”, “cut”, “none”, and “none” (that is, “cut” — “cut”), a derivative technique called “two-step cut” is derived. ,
In the case of "cutting"-"paying"-"kesa sword"-"none" (that is, "cutting"-"paying"-"kesa sword"), a derivative technique called "minin sword" is derived, and "save"- "Storing"-"Punch"-"None" (that is, "Storing"-
In the case of "accumulate"-"punch"), a derivative technique called "arm hammer" is derived. In addition,
“NULL” corresponds to “none” in the combination of the basic techniques. Therefore, for example, in the case of "minin slash",
Three consecutive techniques out of the four basic techniques are “cut”
What is necessary is that it is selected in the order of "pay"-"cut".

Next, the operation of the game device according to the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings showing the display screen and the like. Note that some of the control operations performed by the present game device include those in which circuits other than the control unit 31 perform actual control in cooperation with the control unit 31. For convenience of explanation, In the following, the control related to the control unit 31 will be described assuming that the control unit 31 directly controls the control. Further, in the following description of the game, it is assumed that there are a plurality of player characters and enemy characters, but the same applies to a case where one or both of the player character and the enemy character are single.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the battle process. The battle process starts when the player character encounters an enemy character. When the process starts,
First, the player selects whether the battle mode is a single battle, that is, a mode in which the player character and the enemy character fight one-to-one or a group-fight mode (step S10). The case of a single strike, which is a feature of the present invention, will be described later. If it is not a single strike, the control unit 31 determines, for each enemy character, the action (technique) and target of the enemy character, that is, the player character to be acted from among a plurality of player characters (step S11).

Subsequently, the control unit 31 refers to the character table 51 of the first player character, and outputs a technique command equipped by the player character to the output device 2.
(Step S12). The player determines the action of the first player character by selecting one technique command from the list of the technique commands (step S13), and further determines an enemy character to be acted on (step S14). The control unit 31 determines whether the action and the target have been determined for all the player characters (step S15), and performs the same processing for the second and subsequent player characters until all the player characters are determined. (Step S16).

When the action and the target have been determined for all the player characters, the control unit 31 performs a flashing determination described later (step S17). And the control unit 3
1 calculates and determines the damage amount, HP value, and character state resulting from the battle based on the result of the flash determination (step S18), and displays an image or an animation on the display screen of the output device 2 based on the calculated amount. It is displayed (step S19). Then, the processing from step S12 to step S19 described above is repeatedly performed until the battle ends (step S20).

Next, the flash determination process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flash determination process. When the control unit 31 starts the flash determination process, first, the skill level (executor skill level) of a certain player character
And the skill level of the enemy character selected as the target are read from the respective character tables 51 (step S21). Then, the control unit 31 refers to the technique table 61 and specifies the attribute of the action determined by the player with respect to the player character (see step S13 in FIG. 7) (step S22). Subsequently, the control unit 31
Refers to the technique table 61 and specifies, as a derived technique, a technique whose acquisition flag is “0” and which has the lowest basic attack power among techniques having the same attribute as the attribute (step S2).
3).

Step S23 will be specifically described with reference to a technique table 61 illustrated in FIG. If the action of the player character determined in step S13 in FIG. 7 is “double slash” having the attribute of “sword”, the technique commands of “double slash” and “swipe off” with the attribute of “sword” are acquired. The flag is “1” and the player has already acquired them, but the acquisition flag is “0” for “mining slash” and has not yet been acquired. "Mizinri"
There may be other unskilled techniques among the “swords”, but since the technique table 61 in FIG. The technique with the lowest attack power is "Min-Kiri". Therefore, the control unit 3
No. 1 specifies the “minin sword” as a derivative technique. By specifying the derivative technique in this manner, the player character sequentially acquires the technique having the lower basic attack power in the technique of each attribute.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen in a state where a list of derivative moves is displayed. Here, the player centrally manages the technique acquired by the player character using a table called a player note 71 as shown in FIG. The player opens the player note 71 at any time and displays it on the display screen 70 during a process other than the battle process, and checks a list of the derivative techniques included in the player note 71, that is, the derivative techniques that can be used at that time. can do. In FIG. 12, C
U is a cursor operated according to an input signal of the input device 35. The player adjusts the cursor CU to a desired technique command by operating the cursor CU, and a combination of basic technique commands necessary for deriving the technique command is displayed in the help window 80.

When the derivative technique is specified, the control unit 31 newly obtains a difference between the skill level of the player character based on the derivative technique and the skill level of the target. FIG. 9 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the difference between the skill level of the player character and the skill level of the target, and the flashing success rate. The control unit 31 determines the probability of success of the flash based on the characteristic diagram shown in FIG. 9 (step S24). According to this characteristic diagram, the flashing success rate increases when the skill level of the target is higher than the skill level of the player character, that is, when the difference between them is a negative value. This means that the player becomes stronger by fighting a stronger opponent.

As a result of the flash probability determination, if the flash is successful (step S25), the control unit 31 sets the technique table 61
The acquisition flag of the derivative technique is set to "1", and the derivative technique is acquired (step S26). And the control unit 31
Replaces the action determined by the player with respect to the player character in step S13 of FIG. 7 to a derived technique (step S27). Specifically, the replacement of the derivative technique is performed by setting the identification number of the technique command in the action buffer for the player character stored in the character action data storage area 32d to the identification number corresponding to the technique determined by the player in step S13. Is performed by rewriting to the identification number corresponding to the derived technique. As a result, the player has acquired the derivative technique, and can use the derivative technique thereafter. As described above, in the present embodiment, although there is no particular limitation, a derivative technique can be acquired when a group battle is performed.

If the flash does not succeed in step S25,
Alternatively, when the replacement of the derivative technique has been completed in step S27, the control unit 31 determines whether the same processing has been performed for all player characters (step S28), and ends for all player characters. The same processing is performed for the second and subsequent player characters until (step S29). When the processing of steps S21 to S27 is completed for all the player characters, the control unit 31 ends the flash determination processing.

Next, the processing in the case where the player selects single-strike in step S10 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process when one-strike is selected. As illustrated in FIG. 10, in the case of a single strike, the control unit 31 selects, for example, four basic action commands from among the basic action commands,
The action of the enemy character is determined (step S31). Subsequently, the control unit 31 refers to the basic technique table 62 and displays a list 72 of basic technique commands on the display screen 70 as shown in FIG. 13 (step S32). FIG.
It is the schematic which shows the example of the display screen in battle processing shown by 0.
The player decides, for example, four actions of the player character by looking at the list 72 of the basic technique commands, without any particular limitation (step S33). The control unit 31 determines whether or not all of the four actions of the player character, for example, have been determined (step S34). If not determined, a list 72 of basic skill commands is displayed, and the same applies to the next action. Processing is performed (step S35).

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen during the battle process shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, when all actions are determined, a list of action commands determined by the player is displayed on the command display 73 of the display screen 70. Then, when the player operates the cursor CU and selects “start a battle”, the control unit 31 performs a derivative technique determination process described later (step S36). The control unit 31 determines the amount of damage, the HP value, and the state of the character resulting from the battle in advance by performing arithmetic processing based on the result of the determination of the derivative technique (step S37). An image or animation is displayed on the display screen (step S38). Then, the processing from step S31 to step S38 described above is repeated until the battle ends (step S39).

Next, the derivative technique determination processing will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the derivative technique determination process. When the control unit 31 starts this processing, first,
Referring to the basic technique-derived technique table 63, the table 6
3 includes, for example, 4 determined in step S33 of FIG.
It is checked whether there is one action, that is, a combination of four basic techniques (step S41). If there is a derivative technique corresponding to the combination of the basic techniques (step S42),
The control unit 31 next refers to the technique table 61, and checks whether the acquisition flag of the derivative technique is “1”, that is, whether the player can use the derivative technique (step S43). If the acquisition flag is "1" (step S4
4) The four basic techniques are replaced with the corresponding derived techniques (step S53), and the determination process ends.

On the other hand, if there is no corresponding derived technique in step S42, or if the acquisition flag is "0" in step S44.
In the case of, the process proceeds to step S45, and in the basic technique-derived technique table 63, for example, 4
Check if there are three consecutive combinations of one basic technique. If there is a derivative technique corresponding to the combination of the basic techniques (step S46), the control unit 31 checks whether or not the acquisition flag of the derivative technique is “1” in the technique table 61 (step S47). If the acquisition flag is "1" (step S48), the three basic techniques are replaced with the corresponding derived techniques (step S5).
3), end the determination processing.

Similarly, if there is no corresponding derived technique in step S46, or if the acquisition flag is "0" in step S48, the process proceeds to step S49, and the basic technique-derived technique table 63 includes step S33. It is checked whether or not there are two consecutive combinations of the four basic techniques determined in the above. If there is a derivative technique corresponding to the combination of the basic techniques (step S50), the control unit 31
Checks whether the acquisition flag of the derived technique is “1” in the technique table 61 (step S5).
1). If the acquisition flag is "1" (step S5
2) The two basic techniques are replaced with the corresponding derived techniques (step S53), and the determination process ends.

FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen during the battle process shown in FIG. FIG.
This is an example of a case where the acquisition flag of the derivative technique corresponding to the combination of the three basic techniques is “1”, and the display screen 70 displays three action commands “cut”, “pay”, and “key cut”. Is displayed. This combination
As shown in the basic technique-derived technique table 63 of FIG. 6, the technique corresponds to the derived technique of “mining sword”.
In step S38, as shown in FIG. 16, an image 75 corresponding to this derivative technique is displayed on the display screen 70. FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen during the battle process shown in FIG. FIGS. 17 and 18 show an example of a display screen when there is no derived technique whose acquisition flag is “1” in the derived technique determination processing. Since the combination of “cut”, “cut”, “pay” and “pay” shown in FIG. 17 is not a derivative technique, in this case, the four basic techniques are performed in order as shown in FIG. Become. Therefore, in order to use the derivative technique at the time of a single duel, the player needs to open the player note 71 at times other than the battle and learn the combination for deriving the acquired derivative technique.

According to the above-described embodiment, the player selects a plurality of basic action commands from the basic skill table 62, and the combination of the selected basic action commands is
If the combination corresponding to the derived action command in the basic technique-derived technique table 63 is obtained and the acquisition flag of the corresponding derived action command is “1”, the player character is instructed to perform another action. Is selected, the player can instruct another action by appropriately combining the basic action commands.
