I originally went to the independent game section to look for some unpopular masterpieces, but I accidentally clicked on this web game and a mobile game. When I look at the introduction, I can see that it has all the keywords including "Guoyun Xianxia", "real person social networking" and "free trading", but the only thing missing is the word "recharge" written on its face. The charging mode is written as "0", but who believes it? There are more in-game purchases than the pancakes and fruits sold at roadside stalls, and you can't even clear daily tasks if you don't make money in a day.
You said the painting style is exquisite? The modeling made me want to vomit. It was on the same level as the 3D characters in web games ten years ago. The special effects of the skills were as gorgeous as flash lights in a local disco, which made my eyes hurt. And that "classic round", isn't it just about automatically hanging up, one-click pathfinding, and a battle in combat power? When I played "Fantasy Westward Journey" ten years ago, I wasn't so perfunctory.
The most outrageous ones are "real person social interaction" and "free trading" - to put it bluntly, they ask you to join a gang, engage in gang wars, and then force you to buy a loudspeaker to shout. I am a single-player player who is most annoyed by this kind of forced social interaction. When I play a game, I have to be urged by strangers to go online, play dungeons, and form a group voice chat? I would rather play "Stardew Valley" and farm, at least I don't have to look at the planner's face.
To be honest, if you want to find a good game, you might as well go to Steam and check out those independent works that have received rave reviews, such as "Hades", "Tunic", and "Sea of Stars". Which one is not better than your krypton gold reskin? Or go to itch.io to find some experimental works, and you can experience real creativity and sincerity for a few dozen dollars.
Everyone, don't be fooled by the packaging of “Guoyun Xianxia”. If this game is truly “free,” then its real product is you—your time, your wallet, your social anxiety. Anyway, I deleted it immediately and continued to dig out my "Dyson Sphere Project" resources 🔨
