Card Cultivation

Custom character creation is completely broken — here's the exact build. Drawbacks taken (points gained): Doomed Fate — 20 Weak Divine Sense — 15 Moonlit Land Sealed — 15 Wangchen Temple Sealed — 10 Spellcasting Sealed — 5 Demon-Sealing Tower Strengthened — 5 Poor Affinity with Artifacts — 5 Shallow Lifespan — 4 Poor Affinity with Voids — 2 Perks bought (points spent): Heirloom Treasure Saber — 35 Dragon-Seeking Geomancy — 11 Spirit Furnace Elixir — 8 Medicine Estate Family — 7 Guiding Qi Through Meridians — 6 Void Spirit Body — 6 Mysterious Ancestral Estate — 4 Azure Spirit Body — 3 Bedrock Body — 3 Sharp Bone Body — 3 Diamond Bone Blood — 2 Innate Thick Skin — 1 Innate Brute Strength — 1 Humble Disciple — 1 Why it breaks: The Heirloom Treasure Saber is 3176 ATK / 2540 HP. The strongest boss in the game hits for 1200. Its only real gate is 65 mana per use, so you spend the leftover points on mana and body perks to clear that threshold on turn one, then brew mana pills forever. T…

The Good: If you enjoy cultivation or card crafting like other titles such as Cult Simulator or Stacklands you will probably enjoy this game. One area this game really shines in is showing different cultivation methods: body temperting, pill refinery, beast taming just to name a few. They really feel very different in how they are represented and how they play, I would love to see this expanded on to add replayability. There is a guided story mode (only one character for now, more characters planned for the future) and a free play mode which allows you to create a custom character. The Bad: AI art. Several others have mentioned that the game is unfinished and that is definitely true, it should be listed as an "Early Access" title. I hope that the English translation improves in the future, the machine translation is imperfect and several items remain completely untranslated. Free play mode should have an option to completely unrestrict the trait points (maybe in exchange for removing the ability to get achievements). Conclusion: This game shows promise but its definitely not in a finished state. I hope the devs listen to player feedback because with a few simple changes this …

A game that fills the fantasy of being a cultivator in all those webnovels, while being coherent, understandable, and pretty fun. It has all the staples of the genre (cultivating - duh -, alchemy, spells, artifacts, animal companions, secret treasures, random fortuituous encounters, a bunch of other stuff), without feeling bloated or disjointed; the systems all tie into each other and/or are multipurpose (if you really don't have a use for something you can always sell it). This makes it so you always feel like you're advancing and getting stronger, whether that be with higher quality equipment, better stats, emergency pills or companions to throw at challenges. The caveat is, this isn't really a game you can "lose". Technically the game ends if your lifespan ends, and you lose lifespan each time you die, but there is nothing forcing you into unwinnable fights; running is always an option, even if that means giving up on an opportunity for a few years. There will be times, especially when you're on the boundaries of each cultivation tier, where some seemingly unkillable boss or kill squad shows up to remind you that you're still small fry; if you've prepared enough, you may b…

It's a good game with fun resource management and combat mechanics but there's a lot of polishing left to do. Some of the cultivation paths are either very hard to cultivate or very weak or both. - Spell casting relying on Qi means you only get to cast a few spells before you have to spam potions. - Alchemy relies on running the herb Nurturing and potion brewing (Refine) non-stop for every battle and is very weak early on, so it's hard to make it the primary path. - Artifact Refining and Beast Mastery are the main viable paths outright because you can spam cards onto the battlefield as long as you have enough Qi restoring potions. - Learning Spells, Techniques, Methods and Abilities is too RNG and it's hard to get the books you want outside of the Sword path (which has a sect and a pavilion, though the Reputation points needed for those are too hard to earn as well). - The RNG for book learning wouldn't be a problem if 50% of the books you can get weren't really weak and basically pointless (compared to getting more artifacts or spirit beasts). Suggested improvements: 1. Each major path's books should be buyable somewhere, not just RNG through treasure shop and enlightenment. 2.…

Great game and very nice combination between game mechanics and cultivation type of game.
