AsHes

Chinese horror 'Valheim' with its focus more on its narrative than freeform exploration. Interesting setting if you're into Asian horror weirdness. Crafting, building and food system are all very similar to Valheim, so if you've played that, you'll be right at home. Some quest POI's have some interesting puzzle mechanics to them, more than just 'summon boss, kill boss, next'. Building is fairly straightforward - and a little janky - right now base building is more function than form. Armor here takes the form of various occult accoutrements - bracelets, belts, necklaces, etc, etc - made from various occult items like bone, gems and so on. These do appear on your character. Ambience is pretty much always dark, gloomy and creepy - don't expect sunny days here. Some translations aren't finished yet. While I have mostly been able to figure things out myself - a little more player guidance would probably be appreciated by most - its mostly open ended like Valheim, but with a narrative to follow, it can sometimes be unclear exactly what you need to do next. Rough around the edges right now, but serviceable. Definitely has potential to grow into a good survival title.

The game is kinda cool and you can join on your friends and stuff but the game isn't fun and it isn't clear what to do in the game to progress. The crafting part seems weird, if you hit trees they wiggle like a cartoon character. Also beware of the Long Term Labor Ghosts.

I like this game and LOVE the idea of it even more. This is the only game by this particular company and it feels like they already gave up on it. It had so much potential. Unless they come back and start working on their game, or at least give us updates on why it's taking awhile. I can't recommend this.
