I recently visited a forum and saw a bunch of so-called "cultivation mobile games". When I went in, they all featured automatic pathfinding, ten consecutive card draws, first deposit gift packs, VIP privileges, and even meditating and practicing required krypton gold to buy acceleration. What the hell is this called cultivation? This is called repairing money. 🤮
I accidentally discovered a stand-alone game called "Xiuzhen Jianghu". The developer is Chengdu Zhihuiwan. The charging mode is 0, which means it is completely free and there are no in-app purchases! Is there such a thing of conscience these days? I quickly tried it. Although the picture is a bit retro, the gameplay is really a restoration of the cultivation novel: starting from a slave in the Taoist world, step by step through the tribulation and ascending, relying on the accumulation of idle time, not the accumulation of krypton gold to build combat power. The introduction says "no liver required, just spend a little time hanging", and it's true in personal testing. There is no forced social interaction in the game, and there is no ranking list to stimulate consumption. There are plot elements such as Tianyuan beasts and mortal Taoist companions, and single-player parties are ecstatic. 😏
Compared with those "Fellow Daoist, please stay" and other skin-changing and gold-based games, this "Cultivation Jianghu" can be called a real cultivation experience. What you are playing is a "Mortal Cultivation to Immortality" style of growth, not a "working for a planner" style of leeks. In those krypton gold games, the screens full of "special gift packages" and "limited time discounts" are essentially money traps. They can't even write a decent plot. How can they be called cultivation? It's simply an insult to the internet.
I directly recommend it to single-player hunters. If you want to experience the real world of cultivation, go and play "Cultivation Jianghu". Don't waste your money on junk gold games. Of course, the game itself also has shortcomings. For example, the later content may not be rich enough, but with a zero-krypton attitude, it is worth a try. 💪
