Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players who stick with its dense systems and wuxia sandbox find it deep and rewarding, but buggy releases, weak tutorials and the English translation hold many back.

Many players praise the depth of the sandbox: martial arts builds, a long generational lineage, village management, and NPCs with their own relationships and rivalries. Several describe it as a wuxia-style sim with strong ideas. Complaints are just as common. Many reviewers say the game explains little, so newcomers depend on the in-game wiki and community guides. Others report frequent bugs, crashes and daily hotfixes that sometimes break other things, and some find the interface cluttered. The English translation is praised by some but criticised by others for gaps and mistakes, and patch notes are often only in Chinese. Some players also mention the lack of a manual save, which makes long turns costly, and a few complain about cloud saves and boss fights that force rebuilding. Reviews from players with hundreds of hours are generally more positive than those from newcomers.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy complex simulation systems, long-term character building and wuxia settings, and who are willing to learn the game through guides and trial and error.

Who should skip it

Players who want clear tutorials, stable performance and frequent saves, or who expect a focused story and will be put off by bugs and a rough English translation.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours mostly recommend the game and praise its depth, while newer players are more often put off by the unexplained systems and bugs.
