To be honest, the mobile game circle has become more and more impetuous recently. There are always 648 gift packs and limited time card drawings, which makes me, an old guy who has played from the Nokia N73 era, a little unmotivated. A few days ago I accidentally saw the game "Searching for Immortals in the Sea of Clouds". I didn't have high expectations at first. I just wanted to relax in a fairy-themed game. As a result, I stayed up all night playing it.
Let's talk about the graphics first. I'm not going to brag about it, but there aren't many mobile games that are truly “aesthetic.” The textures in many Xianxia games look timid when enlarged. However, the scenes in this game are very layered. From the mist-shrouded mountain top to the aura-filled lake, the transition of light and shadow is very natural. In particular, the changes in the clouds when the sword is flying, it feels a bit like the PC game "Zhu Xian" back then, and it takes me back to the time when I stayed up late in the college dormitory to play the dungeon. 😌
The combat system is the highlight. It does not blindly stack skill special effects, but pays attention to movement and skill connection. Normal attacks have combo judgment, and the ultimate move requires manual aiming and release, which has certain requirements for operation. To be honest, I was in a hurry at first, but once I got used to it, the feeling of control was much more enjoyable than automatic combat. The trading system is also comfortable. Many props can be circulated freely. You don't need to look at the faces of the krypton gold bosses, and you can have fun with zero deposits.
The auxiliary gameplay such as the beauty system and fashion mounts are also interesting. Beauty is not just a numerical tool. The interactive plot is very detailed and can even trigger hidden tasks. Mounts are not just for gold, you can earn good ones through daily activities. The massive benefits are indeed genuine, and the stuff that comes with the first deposit is not junk, which is worthy of praise.
The only thing I want to complain about is that the activity push is a bit frequent, and pop-ups occasionally affect the hang-up. However, considering that its charging model is written as 0 yuan, the official also has to pay attention to it, which is acceptable.
Overall, it's quite surprising to see such a carefully polished Xianxia game among the junk ads that say “10,000 free recharges” all over the screen. It is recommended for experienced players who also like the classic Xianxia style and don't want to be forced to try it. If the developer can maintain its sincerity in updating in the future, this game will be worth playing for a long time. 👍
