This game has been a joy to play. It utilizes a turn based system for combat and their is a lot of complexity when it comes to condition effects. Likewise, the games narrative has me hooked and I am curious to discover where the protagonist will ultimately end up. My one gripe with the game is that there are patches of dialogue that do not have English translation. Even then though, it is very minimal and does not hinder the game experience. I'd recommend the Google Translate mobile app to anyone who wants an easy translation in these rare moments.
Windstop Strategy is a great game with a very solid English translation. I never do Steam reviews but some of the negative reviews here are so far off I felt compelled to share how awesome this game is. I have no idea what these reviews are mentioning with a bad translation, maybe they played a beta version of the game? Or they saw a single line of throw-away text in Chinese (a battle line from an NPC, essentially "How dare you attack us!?") and decided that the game wasn't translated properly? This is not true, the game has a very solid translation of all the story dialogue, battle notifications, and menus. If you have played other Wuxia games on Steam, 99% of them have either zero translations or very poor English translations. Windstop Strategy has one of the best English translations on launch that I've encountered - if I'm being critical there may be 2-3 lines of minor dialogue out of thousands in 40+ hours of playtime that were not translated - and the team is constantly updating their game. Besides polishing the translation, they also listen to community feedback. For example, a recent change nerfed a popular build for bow martial artists, and in response to feedback from players they reverted the change and stated they would try to improve weaker builds going forward as a general policy. This kind of communication is frankly rare and refreshing with games. Moving beyond the strong translation, the game is a successful mix of turn-based strategy with minor auto-battler elements via unit placement and passive abilities, and light-map painting/region expansion. You play as the young master of a sect who just lost his parents in a surprise attack from an unknown enemy: you must rebuild the sect, gather allies, improve your martial arts, and investigate who is behind the destruction of your clan. You do this by taking turns on a large map and developing your land while either allying with or attacking your neighboring clans. This is exciting and varied, as all of the clans have unique themes, styles, martial arts, and characters that can be friend or foe. You also can spend your turns developing the side stories of your party members, which are wonderful additiona; pieces of lore that explain your character and their motivations. Speaking of the story! It is surprisingly deep and intertwined, full of betrayals, callsbacks, romance between NPCs, heroic comebacks, and twists and turns. This game has dramatically branching storylines, where you won't encounter certain characters based on decisions made throughout the game, and this leads to enemies becoming allies, allies becoming enemies, and vast changes to the story and map. I am on my 2nd playthrough and the game is dramatically different than my first run in the best way. There are some light roguelike elements common in Wuxia games, where when you get achievements throughout the game they unlock additional points in character creation to start with stronger stats, martial arts, weapons, passive traits, etc. This adds some very worthwhile specific goals between playthroughs and adds a nice meta-progression to the game. Overall, I was pleasantly shocked by how deep, fun, and polished this game is. I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in Wuxia games - this is one of the much better ones on Steam, and I can't wait to see what updates are coming down the road.
Basically sfw sengoku rance. I had my fair share of fun and I would say it's more than worth it for the price. My only gripe is the translation, which is shoddy and at times untranslated, though rare. While I haven't played very long I feel confident in recommending it. Cheaper than a mcdonalds meal, so cmon, pull the trigger so we can get more games like this. If the devs read this, please invest in a greater translation. Also, the foundation is good and I think there's plenty to do dlc wise. The dating sim aspect is what really brought me in as well, so more heroines and more character creation aspects would be great I think.
Last week, I was debating of getting this game because of the reviews that it was missing a lot of translations. But reading other reviews I learned that some reviewers were overexaggerating. So, I decided, I'll bite the bullet and try it. And I have to say that "Windstop Strategy" is a game that I literally could not stop playing. Rarely do I push other games I'm playing to the side and focus on one game but this game is truly addictive. Definitely one of the best strategy RPG's I have played in the past few years, and I play a lot of strategy RPG's. It's awesome and there is a lot of replayability because depending on your choices, it will affect your relationships. For the first run, I chose the righteous path. Being a hero, saving those in need. Granted, there is that dating sim aspect where you boost up favorability with a person and in the end, you will see how those choices affect you. Funny thing is that I was actually focused on the "childhood friend" that you were arrange to marry, but somehow as the game progressed, a lot of the choices was to talk to a guy's beautiful hot Mom Is Literally Fine [wink wink] over and over again. I didn't think anything of it until the ending shows where all those conversations with the mom, would lead to. But there were other choices I'm sure I could of taken that would have affected the game and made me evil and would lead me to having closer relationships with other people. But for different playthroughs, if you want to hook up with someone, you would definitely need to make sure you get closer or conquer that person's home area. Also, I totally missed out on "Kismet cultivation", I was so busy focusing on the main game by the time I found out about it, there was no more money that could be made unless I sold items but the items you probably are stuck with give you hardly anything. So my first playthrough was the following strategy: - Choose the Righteous Path (be a hero, save the world) - I focused on my main fighters but having healers that deal with lifesaving and another with poison proved to be very important. I stuck with two healers with every battle. - I found that having characters with fist or claw fighting and even pole fighting were much better in battle for me than sword fighting. The swordfighters I got, they were stuck on basic movesets and no matter how much I trained them, that moveset didn't set well with that character. - As I conquered areas, I would try to recruit six from each area. - I found Dodge to be most effective in armor/clothing selections than Defense. - Focus on building up characters that can get multiple hits in one time. - Save up points that allow you to add an extra player in battle. It makes things much easier to have 9 people fighting vs. six against the enemy. - My first playthrough, I had around 50 characters. Just remember that recruiting characters is important because that final boss, you will want to have as many characters available to fight as it's going to be a half hour or hour long battle. So, level up everyone and be prepared! THE TRANSLATIONS: First, let's get to the part that many people have been discussing and that is missing English translations. Yes, there are translations missing from the opening intro to a few areas of dialogue. But 97% of the game has translations, 3% doesn't. THE MODS: Now, if you want to use the mods they are not English translated and by using certain mods, it will turn off translations for certain people. So, do know this in advance. The majority of the game has translations, there will be once in a blue moon where it misses dialogue and yeah, it may upset some people, but do know that it won't affect you from knowing what the game is about or enjoying the game. Unless you are hardcore of it missing translations here and there, then if that's the case, avoid the game. But it's not bad at all. Second, the game has a lot of characters and I love that! But the most interesting thing about this game are the mods because people have mods based on anime characters to other video game characters from other games with cut scenes. That was pretty much of a big surprise right there. Of course, there are other characters that those who want a wee bit of fan service will enjoy as well. Now as for the mods, there is one mod to get and look for the image of a gold book. Install it through the game and what this game will do on your main HQ, will add a store of level up items. For 5000 coins, you can purchase a gold book to immediately get your characters to level 25. Is this needed? No, but I will tell you, the final boss and the opponents towards the end of the game are so darn frustrating that leveling up nearly all your characters makes a difference. Also, some achievements you need to be normal to higher level to open. But the mod with the video game character with blue/purple hair, is possibly the best character to have in your team because she one hit kills everyone. There is also a mod with the RE:ZERO characters of Rem and Ram and you have to pick one to join your group. I ended up getting REM but her main move is a powerful heal everyone. That was awesome to see! So, the mods added by the fanbase of this game really adds something. And the other mod that helps is the unlimited moves. You are given like three moves, and because of this, you'll miss a lot of the building favors scenes, because you are busy fighting cobras, bears, wolves to make money to purchase things. There is another mod, that is very good but you will probably need a translator if you can't read the Chinese characters and that is an item adding mod. You can easily input the amount of items you need for an item, weapon, outift. But the useful part of this is selling it and becoming a billionaire, which will make your life easier especially for KISMET updates. So, that's another mod I found useful. WHAT I WISH THE GAME OFFERED FOR QOL: While I loved the game, there were a few key things that I wish can be fixed in the next game or update. - TRAINING - I don't like training a character just to find out that they can't use that moveset without their EXT from being halved. - Move the AUTO to the right - In a really huge battle, sometimes the auto is in the way of selection and while selecting your moveset, clicking on auto will cancel your selection. So, I wished that was moved over towards the right versus the left. [Note: this is not a big deal as huge fights are not prevalent through the game] - Release a Soundtrack for this game!!!! - More character variations. Almost all healers look alike. A character editor to change clothing or hair color for those joining your team, would be cool. - Intro should have translations. It's the first thing people will see when playing the game, so at least put English translations for that, so people don't get weirded out. - There has to be a better way when viewing an item that it doesn't get cut off because it's so long vertically, perhaps use more horizontal space. Sometimes for me to see information on an item, I have to drag it to the top because it gets cut off. Overall, "Windstop Strategy" is a wonderful game that I absolutely enjoyed! It's a strategy RPG mixed in with visual novel/dating sim that will definitely deliver hours of fun. Don't worry too much of the reviews of the translations, the majority of the game is translated. But if you want 100% translations, you'll probably have to wait. But if you are good with 95-97% of it being translated, then definitely check this game out! I am not familiar with Xia Start but I will say that "Windstop Strategy" is a fantastic game and the added mods to add a whole different aspect with fanmade characters and skills definitely adds to the enjoyment of this game! Had a great time playing it!!! And definitely one of my favorite Strategy RPG's to be released in the past few years.
