A really cool Wuxia story dragged down by some painfully unbalanced sponge fights. I must admit, it has beaten me.

Budget wuxia academy life sim Good: + Good pricing vs hours spent ratio (easily 20+ hours for $10) + Harem ending is well written compared to generic harem endings (there are a couple of scenes related to it) + Difficulty slider, mod support, and new game plus are all available + Protagonist is enjoyable to play as. He is overpowered because he is a martial prodigy and he is a good schemer + Unlimited free battles/gold grinding Bad: - You don't really notice the music/soundtrack - May be a tad too long for a single playthrough. If the turn limit gets reduced from 120 to 80, it'd feel less padded and the story will flow more smoothly. - All the moves have similar animation Rating: 4/5 Dial soap bars

I came into this game expecting a short stat raiser (I didn't read anything lol, trying to surprise myself), and found myself playing every difficulties and endings. Honestly, I didn't expect to get this hooked. The story is simple, but that's the charm. You see characters interacting in a slice-of-life like genre, quickly drawing you into loving them. I didn't expect the whole [spoiler] Shen Tinglan story to get that dark [/spoiler]. It makes me wonder how heavier it would feel if the game has less cheerful art style. The game is very, [i] very [/i] long, so it took me days for my first playthrough. Late into the endgame, there's many empty days, so I wish there would be an instant jump feature to instantly skip to the next scenario for players who are already satisfied with their stats. Lastly, I really love the endings, both romantic and non romantic. If possible, would you consider adding a platonic brotherhood-like route for the male characters? It's especially interesting if we could delve deeper into Ye Luo's childhood and inner court, plus Zhe's past, and Huiguang as well as Huiguang didn't leave much impression due to the lack of screentime compared to other characters. …

'Graceful/Diligent/Learned' (Ally Affinity and Experience Bonuses) are all Non-Negotiable Traits. Do not skip them, you will be thankful later as the highest levels of power require extensive grinding you won't have the numerical time for otherwise. Tales of Justice Academy is a Wuxia Cultivation Simulator and it has surprisingly enjoyable side activities and likeable cast. Even having binged it for almost 30 hours, I'm already looking forward to my New Game (the game says it has a New Game +, but sadly it's just more traits unlocked that give you a better headstart) You will encounter the very occasional Chinese text, but otherwise it's a fairly intuitive translation that avoids most language pitfalls like puns that don't work elsewhere.

Overall, a very solid wuxia experience. Lately, I've been obsessed with this genre, and Tales of Justice Academy doesn't disappoint. The localization is pretty rough, but not so bad that I couldn't tell what was happening. The big draw to me, though, was the combat system. There's lots of fiddly bits and systems that interact smoothly with each other. I felt rewarded for experimenting and taking the time to comprehend the system. When I lost a battle, it felt like an actual skill issue on my part, and not the game being unfair or cruel. I hope that when/if the devs cook up something new, they keep the combat system. By far, that was my favorite part of this experience.
