This game's tutorial is really bad. It doesn't show player how to exit the game. Made me play non stop from morning to midnight! 這遊戲新手教學做得非常不好! 沒有教人怎麼退出遊戲, 害我從白天玩到晚上都還在玩!

Game is very interesting 4X grand strategy. Imagine Civilization+Cultivation where you manage your Immortal Sect compete for victory with rival sects. Cultivation Path: Your sect can focus on sword, martial, alchemy, weapon refinement, spell of 5 elements of Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, Metal and etc. You can also unlock/research new cultivation manuals. Personal talent play a very important roll on how fast/high that member can cultivate to Immortality. Cultivator will cultivate slower as they grew pass certain age so if you miss the next realm then their lifespan will come to its end. Sect Culture: You can focus on many path, Cultivation, Influence, Recruitment, Merchantile, Alchemy, Refinement and etc a lot like civ civic. Sect Protectorate: Your sect can influence and take control of small district with resources, building slot pretty similar to city state. Also you can setup office/business in Big Town and compete with other Rival Sects. Battle: Battle is fought in realtime you can set it to auto/manual up to your preferences. Overall there are many ways to improve your sect and its gonna be a very long game if you wish to reach immortality unlike other 4X game this one will probably last very long per run. Too bad its early release on Steam does not come with English language and this game has some very complicated mechanics. So its quite a big loss of opportunity for people who can't read Chinese.

目前版本0.11.42,从版本号就能看出是非常早期版本。 说实话框架有了,基础有了,但是杂而不精,还有非常多的地方需要优化。 目前游戏内中后期操作非常重复且无聊,毫无策略深度。每个弟子都得手动设置功法,每个城州都得自己派弟子。后期一回合成百上千次点击就是为了这些重复操作。。。 目前70+的价格是强烈不推荐,等后续游戏更新优化了再说吧。 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 有沉下心玩了几个小时,把喜欢的弟子一步一步培养起来然后大杀四方,这个爽点还是有的,所以改了个好评,但也仅此而已,希望官方不要跑路吧。至于后期卡顿,金丹后期无内容等等问题,等官方优化。。。 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 目前EA,实在是不推荐入坑。。。
