I'm not bragging, but as an old player who has been playing since the Saipan era, to be honest, when I see the words “0 krypton”, my first reaction is to sneer. I have been fooled by various "conscience mobile games" too many times over the years, but this game really surprised me.
Let me talk about the most touching point first. Today's mobile games simply treat players like cattle, with so many daily tasks that it feels like work. But this game can be completed with just one click and you're done in three seconds. A middle-aged gamer like me, who only has fragmented time every day, finally no longer has to stay up late to clear his energy. It's quite pleasant to go online every day to collect vegetables and watch the gods fight.
What makes me feel most conscientious is the ingot output of this game. You can get 100,000 yuan for killing a dragon every week. This is not a charity, but an amount you can save just by playing around. The key is that there is really no need to draw the cards, they are sold directly with a clear price, and they can be purchased with gold ingots. I have been playing card games for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such an "honest" manufacturer. Isn't this what we veteran players want most? It's okay to spend money and time, but don't let me draw cards and doubt my life.
Let's talk about the collection system. Journey to the West: The Gods of the Mountains and Seas stews in chaos, but unexpectedly does not violate the harmony. Sun Wukong and Daji team up, and Erlang Shen and Vixen play dungeons together, which is quite interesting to watch. The painting style is that of traditional Chinese style ink and wash, and from time to time I can listen to some ancient BGM, which reminds me of the days when I played "Westward Journey". Yes, this game is in portrait mode, so you can play it with one hand, so it's not too convenient to play while lying on the bed.
Of course there are disadvantages. The depth of the game is average, and the novelty will decrease later in the game. After all, it is still a card battle game. Also, the chat channel is full of bots asking to be added as friends, which ruins the immersion. But considering it's a free game, these flaws are acceptable.
To be honest, I am quite emotional. In the current mobile game market, there are always 648 gift packages, free legends for the first deposit, and monthly and weekly cards. Although "Fellow Daoist Please Stay" is not a AAA masterpiece, at least it gives Lingchong a way to survive. Just like in the past, in arcades, the boss put a coin-free machine for you to play for free. This is really rare today.
Looking back at the gaming years over the years, from the greedy snake on the green bean screen of Nokia to the more and more exquisite "Fellow Daoist, Please Stay", to be honest, what I want is actually very simple: being able to play easily, not being forced, and having a little emotion is enough. This game is great if you are willing to keep it on your phone as a daily companion.
