考虑了好久。。。觉得还是一个值得尝试的游戏吧。【警示】没有耐心的人，可能会玩的很窝火。 这个游戏最不可原谅的地方是界面。我不懂开发商想加什么新内容玩法。我很负责任的说，90%被劝退的玩家绝对是因为这个鬼畜的界面设计。例如，你想要送一个角色去自由历练（因为功法还不圆满），鬼畜界面不让你点（自由历练），而是把你送去历练管理界面。。。让你从一大堆角色中挑。想要只管理练气弟子？没门。即使我把他们的名字都改了，依然乱排。总而言之，就是逼你把管理交给游戏的脑残托管。界面是我20年游戏以来，碰到 【最差的之一】，由于这是文明类修仙，连界面都做不好，加什么鬼新内容。本末倒置。望开发组改进。 不过吧，如果你有耐心，玩着玩着，真的很上头。不过缺点是罄竹难书就是了。这个价钱，闲着没事，玩玩也是可以的。

A cultivation civilization game. Or rather Endless Legend. Get a translation from discord (a normal one, the online MTL one is a torture to play with). With that being said it is very, very unpolished. In mid to late game there are far too many completely unnecessary clicks for things that should've been automated. Many features are also unusable in current state, most notably- crafting.

Pros: - The game has improved massively since release. At launch, mid-game turns took 2+ minutes — now they take about 10–15 seconds. - For a first playthrough, there’s a ton to do and discover. If you enjoy Civ-like 4X strategy and the xianxia genre, this is right up your alley. - Easily 30+ hours of immersive gameplay building your sect, exploring, and cultivating. - Unique systems like alchemy, sect management, artifact forging, and disciples make the world feel alive. - The art and atmosphere really capture the xianxia vibe. - There’s a great unofficial English translation on the Amateur Modding Avenue Discord: https://discord.gg/Vr8wCJXneE — this made the game fully playable for me. - Devs are actually active and patching the game regularly. Cons: - NO WINDOWED FULLSCREEN MODE, windowed mode is practically useless you have to play with pre-made dimensions, the window is not resizeable, when playing at your screen resolution the window-caption will actually make it so that it hides the bottom-part of your window. - No official English translation yet — devs hinted at it, but it’s still not here. - The endgame feels repetitive and can drag down replay value once you’ve seen all the events. - Some mechanics feel unbalanced or half-finished, especially late-game battles. - UI is better than before but still clunky in places — some menus need more polish. Overall: A unique 4X cultivation game that has come a long way since launch. If you’re okay with using a fan translation, it’s well worth trying — especially if you’re into xianxia and deep strategy games.

It's everything I imagined a 4X cultivation game to be! Highly recommend if you enjoy games like Age of Wonders 4, Fallen Enchantress, or even Mount and Blade! It's far more laid back than those games, though, and I highly recommend you be well-read in the xianxia genre to make sense of certain game mechanics. The auto-translation mod works pretty well, though there are some odd instances of words being translated differently on some screens. It is Early Access, however, so take that into consideration.
