After seeing my depressed jade beauty wife sit at the tavern drinking booze until fainting for several days, only to become intimate with one of my sect elders which also happens to hate me for some reason, i can only say that this is a janky work of art. 10/10 kung fu kenshi.

I wish this game would get an actual English translation. Quit buggy too. But updates are still rolling out.

I havent played much yet, but I don't feel like I really need to, at least I don't need more to say what I feel I need to say about this. This game is something that brings back some of the enjoyment when I played games like kenshi, and I have been looking for a while for anything to fill that spot in my playlist, This game not only makes me feel like I have to work for what I need, it also adds onto what I felt was missing from kenshi to begin with, and then puts a bunch more ontop. Now when you first get into the game world, it looks empty, and unattractive, but the more you play the more you realize that the game is what YOU personally want to make of it, you get to build the world any way you see fit using a block form of land building, allowing you to form it with the building blocks however you want, the interactions with npcs is pretty much sandbox'd and allows you to do whatever you want and are capable of, and although simple, allows for gameplay in a kin to original guilds, in some respects. (again havent played enough to see everything, but so far whats visible shows it has the capability of alot, as long as you are willing to overlook the simple nature of most of it) Im just going to skip down to pro's and con's i feel like people should experience most of this themselves. Pros - Feels like kenshi (You dont like kenshi, you may still like this, as it isnt kenshi, and has its own gameplay model, and is not as harshmode as kenshi is most of the time) - World is buildable at your own pace, and own doing, not some prebuilt that gets old over time (least not as fast as a prebuilt Im sure it has a point where u may have seen everything) - Building, Crafting, Sandboxing, Romance (to extent), Family Raising, Animal Husbandry (in some respect), most of the common trades as well, you can pretty much do whatever. - Alliances, NPC Relationships, etc, simple but well rounded sandbox possibilities with the AI in the game. - World plays like a DF or CDDA world, with the world setting set to keep, each time you die, you remake, and get to live in the same world you shaped from the beginning. - The combat... This is defenitly its strength, its innovative to a point where it will please, although limited, it is new and refreshing, and fits with the idea of a fluid kung fu reaction (although I havent done much combat aside from some minor fights, however It looks like theres some well rounded gameplay there possibly even party oriented combat once that becomes a need) - Mounts about... Ok so you can ride a chicken, im guessing you can ride any animal in the game, thats pretty much all that needs to be said, if you hate that, well whatever, its there, and its hilarious. Cons - Like most games which use continual worlds, you lose some stuff, mostly relationships, and maybe some others (But you can regain all you lose in the way of material things including buildings by seizing them so not much to complain about here) - World starts small, and doesnt allow much progress without you getting your hands dirty and start building the world around you (This to me isnt a negative, but some people may be off by the lack of starting content; Edit: You can create worlds with a number of starting tiles by clicking my miniworlds) - MOST of the sandbox stuff in here is simple, or barebones, IE: Dialogue having very little, the relationship stuff is lacking much flavor, etc (This likely will urk people who are interested in story rich games, very easily, but if your in it for the sandboxing, and the true freedom this game gives, im sure it wont be that big a issue) Dev: Good job, keep it up, you have a good game here already, and as long as you keep adding and improving on the various systems in place, I can see this being a top game eventually, my only grip personally is the lack of flavor with most of the interactions, the current amount is just enough for me to look past it, however I feel that this will likely improve in the future, so I am not really pushing for this to be increased, I want to see what direction you personally take this, as most of my box's for this kind of game have already been checked, and then some.

The Matchless Kungfu is bizarre. It's essentially a life sim in the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon universe. You play as a amnesiac who wakes up on a boat and you're essentially let loose into the world to do whatever you want. Start a business, build a house, learn to play the Guqin, cook, craft, but perhaps most importantly, fight and cultivate your Kung Fu. The gameworld presents all Chinese mythology as being genuine; A Tai Chi master practising Golden Acupuncture can heal broken bones. You can sever an opponent's Miridians and leave their inner spirit broken, or even leave them blinded or crippled. You gain actual superhuman powers if drunk while practising Drunken Boxing. Ect. I'll start with the bad (as I often do) and say the character models are pretty average. I would like to see a lot more customisation options in the character creation and as a result, in the random NPCs in the world. The characters are all fairly similar, likely to make animations and programming easier, but it really just results in male and female characters looking pretty gentrified. You always play as that same type of Chinese male character, a Liu Bei or Sima Yi. Your character is never going to be a Guan Yu or a Lu Bu. As is often the case with open world life sims, events can hit you hard and fast and leave very little room to react to what's going on, especially combat encounters, which can be initiated against you when you're in conversations. The A.I. will rarely pick a fight with you unless they can easily win and this often amounts to playing a whole heap of "escape from jail" gameplay. The sound design is fairly weak and the environmental design is bizarre, but this comes with a caveat that I'll mention in a later paragraph. The combat itself is a bit quirky. It would take more characters that is permitted in a steam review to describe so I'll just say it's Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock. You get cards based off the Kungfu techniques you have equipped, either Fist, Foot, Palm, Weapon or Hidden Weapon. Each different school uses these to various degrees. In combat you draw cards and try to make combos that match the techniques you have with the cards you drew, while also countering the cards you opponent is playing by playing your counter cards into their cards (for example, playing a palm card when your opponent plays a punch card can negate their card). The enemy is trying to do the same to you. This is extremely simplified and doesn't consider any of the systems in place that modulate combat, such as equipment and the alignment of your inner Miridians, so it's extremely easy to pick up but has enough depth to keep you engaged beyond just being rock, paper, scissors +2. When you and your opponent are finished locking in your turns, an extremely stylish animation plays out showing both characters performing their techniques. The building system, while a little curious and at times somewhat obtuse, basically allows you to build any object in the game. If you've seen it in an NPC house, there's a way to put that into your house. Once you get the hang of it, it's very inventive, but a lot of the premade structures not only suit my purposes just fine, but are also designed by someone who knows the design sensibilities of the time. Some of the premade structures are pretty fantastic in terms of traditional Chinese aesthetic. The level design and adventuring is quite unique. Basically, there is no world. You start on a 100m x 100m patch of grass that has an NPC on it. As you complete various tasks and activities, you'll unlock new chunks of maps in 100m x 100m sections and you're able to place them wherever you want on the grid, essentially making your own map. The game seamlessly stitches together the tiles you've placed in whatever order you place them in and you eventually build out your map, and the number of NPCs on it who you can trade with and generally engage in the simulation alongside. Ultimately, if I had to pick just a few words to describe this game, it would be "Very weird, but charming". Because of translation and cultural barriers, this game can feel like a fever dream at times, or an acid trip where things kind of just happen. However, if you stick with this title, learn it's mechanics and nuances and don't mind a bit of whackiness, it's actually a fairly entertaining experience.

I have built up a small community of martial artists in a little mountain village. I call it the Cake Town Dojo. I have become attached to the the weird little lick-spittles and sociopaths that make up my little community. I have a Neighbor. She is a nice lady. We greet each other when we pass and I trade with her for meats and furs on occasion. She has a Husband. For reasons that will forever be a mystery, he has a major beef with one of my dumb ass students. One day when I am across the map causing havoc far away from home, the Husband decides to come down the mountain and stomps a mud-hole into my Student. My Student does not survive this treatment, as the Husband is a very skilled martial artist in his own right. I bury my student. My other students now all have beef with the Husband. I am confident that the Husband will kill all of these little dipshits, sure as Sunday. I decide I must take matters into my own hands. I am usually more of a public nuisance, the kind of man who kicks down the homes of strangers for amusement and profit, and less of a killer. Blood has been shed, however, and the vendetta must be addressed. I go to the home of the Husband. He greets me as a favored acquaintance. He has no issue with me personally, just my Idiot Student. In my heart, I know my disciple probably deserved his new mud hole. I once caught him trying to pickpocket me immediately after I had just beat his ass for, you guessed it, trying to pickpocket me. His death is no great loss. This is a matter of principle though, I attack the Husband without warning. He is strong. I am much stronger. I have eaten so much magical fruit. I bought the magical fruit with money I stole from the houses I kicked down, I have had intimate relations with half the people in the game world so they would teach me their Kung Fu. He goes down. I have the option to break his body, rendering him less of a threat in the future, but at the Cake Town Dojo, we believe in forgiveness, but not in half measures. I kill him. I bury him next to my Idiot Student and I sell his stuff at an auction. I claim his house as my own and drink all of his wine. Now, every few days, his wife, my Neighbor, an innocent victim in this tale. will show up to my house and try to punch down the walls. I always knock her out and carry her back to her home. She is no threat. I understand her. Her anger and her hate. A part of me is rooting for her. Maybe one day she will send me back into the karmic cycle.
