By selecting one of the operation buttons 51, the player can specify a game stage on which a character match is to be performed from this list. The game stage name is displayed on each operation button 51, respectively.

  Next, in the player terminal 20, when the game stage selection screen 50 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, one of the plurality of game stages displayed in a list is designated by the selection operation by the player. Then (step S102), a command (detailed screen request) for requesting a detailed screen of the game stage based on the operation information is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S103).

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the detail screen request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes a process of extracting an enemy character (appearing character) appearing on the selected game stage (step S104). Specifically, the extraction processing unit 112 refers to the game stage information shown in FIG. 5 on the basis of the stage ID and the like transmitted together with the detailed screen request from the player terminal 20 to select the game stage selected by the player. The associated appearance character is extracted from among the plurality of characters set in the character information shown in FIG.

  Next, the server device 10 executes a process of extracting a base character associated with the extracted appearance character as a material character (step S105). Specifically, the extraction processing unit 112 refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the synthetic information shown in FIG. 4 based on the character ID of the extracted appearing character to extract the extracted appearing character. The base character associated as the material character is extracted from among the plurality of characters set in the character information.

  Next, the server device 10 executes a process of extracting the extracted base character from among the player's owned characters (step S106). Specifically, the extraction processing unit 112 refers to the character information shown in FIG. 6 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 based on the extracted character ID of the base character to extract the extracted base character. Extract the possessed character that matches with the character from among the possessed characters set in the possessed character information of the player.

  Next, when the server device 10 extracts the owned character to which the appearance character of the selected game stage is previously associated as a composite material in this manner, the game stage detail screen (web page) regarding the selected game stage Are generated by the screen data generation processing unit 114 (step S107). Then, the server device 10 transmits the data of the game stage detail screen generated by the screen data generation processing unit 114 to the player terminal 20 of the request source via the network (step S108).

  Next, when the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game stage detail screen on the terminal display unit 24 (step S109).

In the game stage detail screen 60, the game stage 61 (here, "game stage A" is selected) selected by the player on the game stage selection screen 50 shown in FIG. 10, and the selected game A character display area 62 displaying a list of base characters in which the appearance character of the stage is associated in advance as a composite material, and an operation button 63 for starting a battle on the selected game stage are included.

  In the character display area 62 in the present embodiment, some base characters of the plurality of base characters extracted by the extraction processing unit 112 are arranged. Note that, by performing a predetermined operation by the player, the remaining base characters of the plurality of base characters extracted by the extraction processing unit 112 can be replaced with some of the characters. Here, three characters are arranged as part of base characters, and base characters 621 and 622 are owned by the player and are displayed brightly. On the other hand, the base character 623 is a non-owned character that the player does not own, and is displayed dimly. That is, when the screen data generation processing unit 114 generates the screen data of the game stage detail screen 60, the owned character extracted in step S106 described above is brightly displayed among the base characters extracted in step S105 described above. And the remaining base characters (that is, non-owned characters) not extracted in step S106 described above are arranged in the character display area 62 so as to be dimly displayed. As described above, the display mode is made different depending on whether or not the listed base characters are owned characters.

  By displaying the game stage detail screen 60 in this manner, the player can use the appearing character associated with the selected game stage as a composite material before the start of play on the game stage. It can be easily grasped that it is a base character that can be synthesized. Furthermore, the player looks at the display mode of the base characters listed in the character display area 62, and the base character associated with the appearing character that can be acquired on the game stage is associated with the own character It can be easily grasped whether or not they match. The player then operates the operation button when the selected game stage is a game stage effective for the base character owned by the player (that is, when the character display area 62 includes the character owned by the player). By selecting 63, the game can be advanced advantageously by starting the character match on the game stage. On the other hand, if the selected game stage is not effective for the base character owned by the player (that is, if the character display area 62 does not include the character owned by the player), the player Since it is possible to give up the character match on the game stage, it is also possible to reduce useless match play.

<Display inquiry screen>
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to the inquiry screen display. In the present embodiment, after the character match is started on the game stage selected by the player, an operation related to the inquiry screen display is performed.

  First, the battle processing unit 111 determines whether or not the player has cleared the stage as a result of the character battle on the game stage selected by the player (step S201). Specifically, the battle processing unit 111 determines one or more enemy characters to appear on the selected game stage based on the appearance rate of the appearing characters set in the game stage information shown in FIG. Then, the battle processing unit 111 causes the player character to battle against the determined enemy character (appearing character). That is, the battle processing unit 111 refers to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 to obtain various parameters (attack force, defense force, physical strength, etc.) set for the player character, and the game stage information shown in FIG. And various parameters (upper limit attack power, upper limit defense power, upper limit physical strength etc.) set to the appearing enemy character are acquired with reference to the character information shown in FIG. Then, the battle processing unit 111 determines the outcome of the battle based on the various parameters of these characters. When the winning of the player character is determined, the battle processing unit 111 assigns the enemy character defeated by the player to the player based on a predetermined probability. Then, the battle processing unit 111 determines whether or not the stage has been cleared based on whether or not the player satisfies the predetermined condition by the battle. As a result, if the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S202.

  Next, when it is determined that the player has cleared the stage (step S201: YES), the battle processing unit 111 determines whether the player has acquired an enemy character (appearing character) that has appeared in the game stage. (Step S202). If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S203.

  Next, when it is determined that the player has acquired the appearing character (step S202: YES), the battle processing unit 111 determines whether the player possesses the base character associated with the appearing character as the material character. It determines (step S203). Specifically, the extraction processing unit 112 refers to the character information shown in FIG. 3 and the composite information shown in FIG. 4 based on the acquired character ID of the appearing character, and the obtained appearing character is a material. The base character associated as the character is extracted from among the plurality of characters set in the character information. Then, the extraction processing unit 112 matches the extracted base character by referring to the character information shown in FIG. 6 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 based on the extracted character ID of the base character. The possessed character is extracted from among the possessed characters set in the possessed character information of the player. Thereafter, when the extraction processing unit 112 can extract the possessed character as such, the battle processing unit 111 determines that the possessed character in which the appearing character is associated as the composite material is owned by the player, and extracts If it can not be determined, it is determined that it is not owned. If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S204.

  Next, the screen data generation processing unit 114 is acquired when it is determined that the player owns the base character associated with the acquired appearance character as the material character (step S203: YES). An appearing character is used as a synthetic material, and an inquiry screen for inquiring whether or not the extracted possessed character is to be synthesized is generated (step S204). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the player terminal 20 via the network 2.

  By displaying the inquiry screen on the player terminal 20 in this manner, it is possible to reduce the time and effort of finding out the owned character associated with the acquired appearance character as the material character from the game contents owned by itself.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example regarding automatic composition of characters. In the present embodiment, after the character match is started on the game stage selected by the player, an operation regarding automatic composition of characters is performed.

  First, the battle processing unit 111 determines whether or not the player has cleared the stage as a result of the character battle on the game stage selected by the player (step S301). This determination process is performed in the same manner as the process in step S201 of FIG.

  Next, when it is determined that the player has cleared the stage (step S301: YES), the battle processing unit 111 determines whether the player has acquired an enemy character (appearing character) that has appeared in the game stage. (Step S302). If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S303.

  Next, when it is determined that the player has acquired the appearing character (step S302: YES), the battle processing unit 111 determines whether the player possesses the base character associated with the appearing character as the material character. It determines (step S303). This determination process is performed in the same manner as the process in step S203 of FIG.

  Next, when it is determined that the player owns the base character associated with the acquired appearance character as the material character (step S303: YES), the composition processing unit 113 determines the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 to determine whether the player owns all material characters associated with the owned base character (step S304). If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S304.

  Next, when it is determined that the player owns all the material characters (step S304: YES), the composition processing unit 113 refers to the owned character information shown in FIG. It is determined whether the level of the base character has reached the preset maximum level (step S305). If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S306.

  Next, when it is determined that the level set for the owned base character has reached the maximum level (step S 305: YES), the composition processing unit 113 has the owned base character. Automatic composition is performed (step S306). That is, the composition processing unit 113 generates a new base character based on the character information shown in FIG. 3 by combining all the material characters associated with the base character owned by the player with the base character owned by the player. Let Then, the composition processing unit 113 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 so that the evolved base character becomes the player's owned character and all the material characters become the player's not owned character.

  As described above, when the player can acquire the appearing character associated with the game stage, the acquired appearing character is automatically synthesized as a synthetic material to the base character owned by the player itself. The time and effort of performing the game operation can be omitted.

<Display notification screen>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example regarding notification screen display. In the present embodiment, after the character match is started on the game stage selected by the player, an operation related to the notification screen display is performed.

  First, the battle processing unit 111 determines whether or not the appearing character has appeared based on the appearance rate set in the game stage information shown in FIG. 5 when the character battle is being performed on the game stage selected by the player. It determines (step S401). If the determination is negative, this process ends. On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the next step S402.

  Next, when it is determined that the appearance character of the game stage has appeared (step S401: YES), the battle processing unit 111 holds the base character in which the appearance character is associated as the material character, and the player possesses the base character. It is determined whether or not there is (step S402). This determination process is performed in the same manner as the process in step S303 of FIG.

  Next, when it is determined that the player possesses the base character associated with the appearing character as the material character (step S402: YES), the composition processing unit 113 associates the base character with the owned character. It is determined whether the player owns all the material characters obtained (step S403). This determination process is performed in the same manner as the process in step S304 of FIG.

  Next, when it is determined that the player owns all the material characters (step S403: YES), the composition processing unit 113 sets the level of the owned base character to the preset maximum level. It is determined whether it has reached (step S404). This determination process is performed in the same manner as the process in step S305 of FIG.

  Next, when it is determined that the level of the owned base character has reached the maximum level (step S404: YES), the screen data generation processing unit 114 uses the appearance character as a synthetic material. A notification screen is generated to notify that the base character owned by the user can be automatically synthesized (step S405). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the player terminal 20 via the network 2.
