Game system, server system, method of performing a game and method of providing information on a game

A method of performing a game using a player character that is controlled by player's instruction, comprising:

• accepting a player's input operation;
• performing a game control process that controls progress of the game by controlling the player character in accordance with an accepted input operation;
• storing to a memory unit, as game data for replay, data of the game when performing the game control process;
• performing a replay process to read out stored game data for replay from the memory unit, and to replay game play from a given timing according to read-out game data;
• interrupting the replay process of a replay target game when accepting a given input operation from the player during the replay of the replay target game subject to the replay process, and setting a switching timing for starting the game control process of the replay target game in response to the player's input operation as a replay target game instruction control process;
• performing a determination process to identify a game status of the replay target game at the switching timing, and to determine a given setting of the game when starting the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing based on the identified game status;
• and
• performing the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing as a retry game based on settings determined by the determination process and the player's input operation accepted after the switching timing.

A server system that provides information of a game using a player character that is controlled by player's instruction to a terminal device, comprising one or more processors and one or more memories, the processor programmed to:

• accept a player's input operation;
• perform a game control process that controls progress of the game by controlling the player character in accordance with an accepted input operation;
• store to a memory unit, as game data for replay, data of the game when performing the game control process;
• perform a replay process to read out stored game data for replay from the memory unit, and to replay game play from a given timing according to read-out game data;
• interrupt the replay process of a replay target game when accepting a given input operation from the player during the replay of the replay target game subject to the replay process, and set a switching timing for starting the game control process of the replay target game in response to the player's input operation as a replay target game instruction control process;
• perform a determination process to identify a game status of the replay target game at the switching timing, and to determine a given setting of the game when starting the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing based on the identified game status;
• provide information of game progress that includes replayed information to the terminal device;
• and
• perform the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing as a retry game based on settings determined by the determination process and the player's input operation accepted after the switching timing.

A method of providing, to a terminal device, information of a game using a player character that is controlled by player's instruction, comprising:

• accepting a player's input operation;
• performing a game control process that controls progress of the game by controlling the player character in accordance with an accepted input operation;
• storing to a memory unit, as game data for replay, data of the game when performing the game control process;
• performing a replay process to read out stored game data for replay from the memory unit, and to replay game play from a given timing according to read-out game data;
• interrupting the replay process of a replay target game when accepting a given input operation from the player during the replay of the replay target game subject to the replay process, and setting a switching timing for starting the game control process of the replay target game in response to the player's input operation as a replay target game instruction control process;
• performing a determination process to identify a game status of the replay target game at the switching timing, and to determine a given setting of the game when starting the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing based on the identified game status;
• providing information of game progress that includes replayed information to the terminal device;
• and
• performing the replay target game instruction control process from the switching timing as a retry game based on settings determined by the determination process and the player's input operation accepted after the switching timing.
