Overall Game Rating: 7.5/10 A very beautifully designed game with a very strong, distinct art direction and a very calming atmosphere to it. Gameplay: 7/10 It doesn't do anything particularly innovative with the autobattling system, but it delivers on a sense of customization through your companions (the yaolings). You can intervene through spells that can feel...mixed on how effective they actually are. Most of your labor is done prior to the fight. The game has two distinct game modes: one that plays like a standard creature-collection world exploration where you find and catch your yaolings and challenge powerful bosses, and then one that plays with the same battle format but is more comparable to a roguelite. Both are very good, and feels a bit like you got two games in one. One note to those going in, though, the game will introduce the tool for you to breed and minmax your yaolings about halfway through. Do not fall into the trap of trying to minmax. The breeding mechanic operates in real time and you will suck the fun out of your experience waiting around for eggs. Art Direction: 10/10 Definitely the strongest aspect of the game. I initially thought that the game was simply visually beautiful. It has a vibrant, paper-craft type art style that feels like you're looking at a pop-up book at all times. The designs of the yaolings are also absolutely phenomenal. One of the most consistently well-designed sets of creatures I've ever seen in a creature collector game. Something I didn't get until I played it, though, was the environment design and music in the main campaign combining to create a really soothing ambiance. Combined with this being an autobattler, most of the game was a very relaxing experience. Story: 5/10 The story is nothing to write home about. Big evil resurges and drives creatures mad, it's up to you to gather your forces and stomp it out. It's a story clearly designed to carry you through the gameplay, not one trying to move you. Difficulty:5/10 The game has different difficulties at different points and contexts. The scaling of difficulty through the actual main campaign is really good, with the early game feeling easy and the late game feeling a good bit tougher. At a certain point, you gain access to a means to modify the difficulty for greater rewards. As for the Hearth Siege (roguelite) mode, it's a little more rooted in RNG and requires a lot more adaptive thinking. Generally a bit more difficult, and can get very difficult when you're trying to complete challenges. Completionist Friendliness: 9/10 The game has two distinct sets of achievements: One set for the main campaign and one set for Hearth Siege mode. The ones for the campaign broadly are simply acquired by playing through the story, and fairly easy. The ones for Hearth Siege are generally more grind-y and difficult, requiring you to complete all of some of the game's most challenging tasks. They're difficult and can feel left to some RNG, but not infuriatingly so. None of the achievements are missable. I deduct a point only because Hearth Siege does feel like an entirely separate game mode, so if you got the game for what was advertised, and found yourself not a fan of Hearth Siege, then achievement hunting is gonna be terrible. Bonus Features: Mounts go brr
The first half of this game is a solid 8, maybe 9, out of 10. At some point the difficulty ramps up so incredibly high and things start to take so long that it makes the game a 7/10. There's so much WAITING in this game. It had to have been designed as a gacha or mobile game at first. As far as being a game for the steam deck, this is a 6/10 and that's being generous. The controls are abysmal on gamepad. I've had to use my touchscreen more than any other game in my library. And there's an island decorator that simply is unenjoyable on the deck. This is a really good creature collector with some really glaring problems. I absolutely loved the first portion and the game is actually beautiful. I love seeing the not-pokemon running around the world and not having random battles. At first I was skeptical about the autobattle combat, but I actually like it in this case. Having such a huge "party" on screen at once really just makes autobattling make sense. The party building and combo potential is super fun. If you like tinkering with builds you'll love this game. However. As stated earlier, the difficulty becomes actually ridiculous roughly 2/3rds of the way through the game and the demons specifically will wipe your teams regularly. There's very little you can do other than try to make a more broken team, due to the lack of tactics that comes inherent in an autobattler. That adds to the frustration, a little bit. There's also a system to further increase difficulty, and is nearly unplayable unless you have a build that wins on the spot. The difficulty on its own wouldn't be so bad, except half my "playtime" is just letting the game run while shops reset (and hoping to see the ability you want...) and waiting for eggs to hatch. Building new teams, or making old teams better, is time consuming to the point of parody. The writing is whatever and the translation is pretty bad. This is a pretty small problem, but deserves a mention. The text is also WAY too small, speaking of small. Overall, it's a good game that will start off great, if not amazing, and then annoy you to no end in the later half.
If you love creature-collecting RPGs with a beautiful East Asian myth vibe, Yaoling: Mythical Journey is a pleasant surprise. The art style is charming, the Yaolings are creative and well-designed, and team-building has just enough depth to stay interesting. Combat is strategic without being overwhelming. It’s not perfect — pacing can feel a bit grindy at times — but the atmosphere and collection aspect carry it hard. Verdict: Worth it if you enjoy monster taming + mythological aesthetics. ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
