I have been playing this game for almost two months. It has a buyout system, one-time payment, no card drawing, no stamina bar, no forced team formation, and no guild battles. When you open the game, you will see a dilapidated village with a few leaky thatched houses and a few hungry villagers. Then you have to start planting land, cutting down trees, building houses, raising chickens and pigs, collecting herbs and medicines, marrying a wife and having children, and resisting wild beasts... Yes, it is an ancient survival simulator, but it is nowhere higher than those reskinned krypton gold mobile games.
Let's talk about the difference in experience between stand-alone games and online games.
Online games? You go online every day to do your daily routine, clean up your energy, fight in guild battles, and get pushed to the ground and rubbed by the boss, who forces you to spend money to draw human rights cards. You can't even advance the plot without recharging money. You think you are playing games, but in fact you are at work, working for planning, and paying rent to your boss. And what about "The Story of Peach Blossom"? You can play whenever you want, farm when you want, explore when you want, no one will rush you, no one is better than you, no one will ask you to top up 648 to buy limited gift packs. The rhythm of the game is completely under your control. This is the real gaming experience.
And the details are really good - villagers will age and die, get married and have children, and children will inherit the skills of adults; it takes three years to harvest the first batch of tea leaves from the tea trees you plant, half a year to make wine, and hundreds of trees to build a bridge. This real time span makes you really feel like you are running a paradise, rather than like some online games where construction is completed in seconds with just one click. Everything is designed to make you finish your work quickly and earn money.
The best part is that you never have to worry about shutting down the game or planning to be a monster. It's a buyout game. Once you buy it, it's yours to play however you like, and you can play it offline. And online games? One day when the operation feels that it is no longer profitable, it will stop the service directly, and all the tens of thousands of dollars you have paid will be wasted. The stand-alone party always looks at the situation with a smile.
In short, if you are tired of being kidnapped by krypton money and social interaction, and want to find a place to quietly build your own little world, this game is definitely worth a try. Buyout system with reasonable price, no follow-up charges, purely a good game. Delete those junk mobile games and experience what a truly good game is like. 🙃
