Nine Treasures of Liuyin

Game has NO english translation right now. That a fake. Translated only story dialogs and narrative items. Most of important menu not translated, skills, combo, controls, battle tutorial. Or with a lot it mistakes, what misleading you more. Game itself feels good. Fast and variative battle system. I want to try it, but i don't want to guessing it.

Really didn't click with me. Controls all seem to have a very slight lag that just makes the game feel very "off". It turns what could have been a snappy ARPG into a clunky mess. It feels like you're playing via cloud on a slow internet connection. Localization is awful as is the UI. I literally have no idea what is going on what the story is supposed to be or what some menus are all about. NPCs spout gibberish: "Organizational colleague: how did you come?" Translation is likewise awful. Graphics look nice that's the only positive I could mention. Overall I would recommend avoiding this. Refunded.

Hack-and-slash with cool gameplay that rewards blocking, but sadly the boss fights are unbalanced mess. The controls are designed to be simple and easy to use with a gamepad. Aside from basic movement, your most frequently utilized button will be attack. The more you press it, the more combinations you can execute. Although foes have a stance or block bar that may encourage smart combat and counterattacking, the majority of enemies can be destroyed with button mashing. While combat has very little in common with souls games, blocking at the appropriate time is still rewarded. Each parry reduces the enemy's block bar, and when it is fully empty, an enemy can be instantly slain. During combat, you should keep an eye on your stamina. Most of it is used on dodge, which works really well. It teleports you a few steps away from the enemy, eliminating the possibility of cheap shots or damage caused by wonky hit detection. What is intriguing is that dodge can also be used as an offensive maneuver. You accomplish this by pushing towards the enemy and pressing dodge when the enemy is going to use a special attack. This either takes a significant portion of their health or block bar. Par…

the gameplay is cool but the interface is horrible. that's great you used unreal engine 5....but your UI is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrendous and it doesn't respond for controller. these games are meant to be on controller that's what they were born on, so make it proper because the game clearly wasn't made at all for controller or key binding controller. i've played souls games with less then 3 reviews that had a better interface and could be binded correctly. this is disgusting and is by far the worst interface ive ever seen. no i dont want my dodge to be RT and my parry to be LT or my attack to be X that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid...changing it? nah, can't do it. it made my whole game start vibrating and glitch out. this game needs so much refining it's unreal.

I am pleasantly surprised by this game. It's an action souls-like that leans more towards action. Flasks refill at checkpoints, you use stamina for dashing and skills but not attacking. Enemies have posture bars. There is fast travel. I don't like how the game seems to discourage you from farming XP because resting doesn't immediately re-spawn enemies, making character development seem slow. Enemies re-spawn after 10 minutes or so. The game could certainty use some polish, especially with the translations which are terrible. But overall I'm really enjoying it. I'm using a dual sense controller and my RTX 4080 performance is good.
