Let me put the conclusion first: Rating 7.8/10, it is an idle development mobile game suitable for small-scale early adopters and people who want to cultivate immortality, but it is still far from being a "masterpiece".
Picture: Chinese style online, special effects are not confusing. The opening CG of Sword Flying when I first entered the game is indeed a bit amazing. The landscape and artistic conception are well captured, and the character drawings are typical of Xian Xia Internet celebrities, but they are better than exquisite. The combat special effects fall into the category of "flashy but cool to watch". The full screen skills are exploded without much lag, and the game can run smoothly even on mid-range machines. You can move around freely on the main city map, which feels much better than a purely static UI web game. However, the details still don't stand up to a closer look. The edges of the modeling are occasionally jagged. After the perspective is locked, you have to turn around for a long time to see the character from the front, which is half a minus point.
How to play: Numerical hang-up is the main method, and the strategic depth is limited. The core cycle is to push the map, hang up, upgrade, and push the map again. The generals given in the early stage can directly assemble a team of orange cards. With the resources given by "Ten Thousand Recharges", you can indeed experience the pleasure of "surge in combat power" within an hour. The battle is fully automatic. You can only adjust the position and the order of skills. Most of the time, it depends on the combat power numbers. The Xianyuan system is a bit interesting. Random events give opportunities or BUFFs, which can be regarded as an adjustment besides hanging up. But if you are looking for brain-burning team formation or operation techniques, this game will most likely disappoint you.
Krypton Gold: 0.1% off is indeed a hook, but don't get caught up in it. Focus on this. All the gift packages in the store are marked with a 0.1% discount. The first deposit of six yuan will get a bunch of purple generals and ingots, which looks like a good deal. But after careful calculation, the depth of cultivation in the game is very deep. Every pit is bottomless, from star-raising to generals, to refining magic weapons, to training spiritual veins. The 0.1% discount only lowers the entry barrier. If you want to stay in the first echelon in the mid-to-late stage, you still have to spend money, but it is much cheaper than normal Xianxia mobile games. My suggestion is: when playing stand-alone, a monthly card plus the first charge is enough to experience 90% of the content; if you want to hit the rankings, the budget ceiling will be ridiculously high.
Social: The presence of gangs is low, and single-player cultivation is the main focus. The gang system basically consists of signing in to receive rewards and beating BOSS to mix rankings. The chat channel has little interaction other than shouting and forming a team. The cross-server battle hasn't started yet, so I can't experience the intensity of PVP for the time being. The social aspect of this game is more like "pseudo-social" - you see others on the leaderboard, but there is no chance to fight or cooperate, so it is suitable for social fearful players to farm in silence.
Summarize the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: The 0.1% discount really reduces the cost of trial and error, and you can also play comfortably for free; the atmosphere of cultivating immortals is not bad, the idle income is stable, and it is suitable for fragmented time; the benefits of opening the server are so abundant that it feels satisfying in the early stage.
Disadvantages: The gameplay is highly homogeneous, and the novelty cannot last more than three days; the growth curve after getting stuck is steep, and you have to grind slowly if you don't want to spend money; the automatic battle has too strong a hang-up flavor, and the sense of operation is zero.
If you are a fan of novels about cultivating immortals and want to find a game that does not take up time and spends a small amount of money to watch the characters become stronger, you can try "Xiaoyao Nine Heavens". But if you are a hardcore strategy player or pursue fair competition, then take a detour. The positioning of this game is very clear: it is a haven for people who are "too lazy to use their brains after get off work and just want to watch the numbers go up." 🌈
One last thing to mention, I don't know how long the 0.1% discount event will last. If you are interested, hurry up and get on the bus, but please be sure to keep your wallet. Consume rationally and cultivate immortality happily. 🎮
