I know the game is early access, and I understand that English is not the games primary language. However, while there are some areas that the translation to English is understandable, there are others where the translation is completely off or wrong. ( I could understand the tutorial, kinda, but I had to reform sentences and guess at a few places as to what it was looking for or talking about ) I am not asking for a refund as I hope this will clear up later, but for right now, with its current translation, I can't recommend it.

This is a Chinese language grand strategy game set in ancient feudal China. From what I can tell the implementation isn't terrible but the translation to English definitely is. I respect this game seems to do well with Chinese audiences but it's not going to go down well with non-Chinese speaking gamers. English speaking gamers would do better to play one of the Total War games, Three Kingdoms comes to mind.

There are over 150 factions and nearly 300 cities, each competing for resources, influence, and survival. Players can pursue different paths depending on their chosen faction—whether it’s restoring the declining Zhou dynasty or forging a new hegemony through conquest. This open-ended approach makes the game a true s…

Great character and game-play. Aside from the translation errors (some mildly comical) there is a suspected memory leak: When closing old game worlds and reloading a saved one, over the course of a few times the memory reported by task manager that the application uses is considerably less than how much is released once the program has been quit.
