Hello fellow players and friends from Qitan, I am your editor. Recently, I have received a lot of messages backstage, saying that they want to find some fun RPG games, but they don't want to play the same cookie-cutter game. It just so happened that I recently discovered a very interesting new game on the "5.0 Platform" called "Pumice Stone Journey". Today I want to talk to you about this treasured work by taking stock of my experience in RPG games.
Speaking of RPG games, from the Japanese turn-based system in the early years to the open world where a hundred flowers bloom later, our generation of players can be said to have enjoyed a good life. But I don't know if you all have a feeling that many RPG masterpieces nowadays always feel like making a to-do list, with certain parts missing and the plot taking three hours to finish in one sentence. Therefore, the editor prefers games that tell stories quietly and allow me to explore slowly. "Pumice Stone Journey" is exactly such a work.
The background setting of "Pumice Stone Journey" is quite interesting. The player plays the protagonist who has awakened from an ancient civilization called "Son of Salvation". You are a cultural relic in this world (laughs). In the game, you will lead a team of three people to go on adventures deep into the ruins of civilization, and fight against the villain organization "Niflheim" that sounds like a middle-class villain. To be honest, I was a little resistant to the name at first. After entering the game, I realized that the narrative and plot text are very solid, with a sense of low magic and high intelligence. Each NPC has its own reason for appearing, and is not just a tool to make up the numbers.
What I like most is actually its combat and team-building system. Since it is an exploration adventure, you will inevitably encounter various monsters. But "Pumice Stone Journey" is not the kind of battle where you pile up values without thinking. It pays more attention to the professional matching and skill combination of the team. You will meet various adventurers with different backgrounds during the journey, including down-and-out knights, cunning mercenaries, and mysterious scholars. Each of them has his or her own unique skill tree and life story. This feeling of cultivating teammates while taking risks, to be honest, makes me feel like I've gone back to the time when I took my friends to explore dungeons.
Let's talk about the overall rhythm of the adventure. The core gameplay of the game is "going deep into the ruins". Each ruins is like a small puzzle maze, with mechanisms, treasure chests, and hidden bosses inside. The key point is that this exploration is effortless and very suitable for players who are usually busy during the day and want to lie down in bed and play quietly for a while at night. You can advance progress in fragmented time, or you can play to your heart's content in one go. You will not be forced to log in at a certain point in time, and the degree of freedom is very high.
The last point that I have to mention is that the charging mode of the game is 0! Yes, you read that right, completely free. And as a developer in Jilin, Hui Times Information Technology Services (Jilin) Co., Ltd., they are quite honest and do not use the "free for a while, krypton gold crematorium" routine. Of course, some good-looking skins and props in the game also cost a little money, but you can play through all the content normally without spending any money. This is really rare in the current mobile game market. It feels like taking a sip of ice-cold sour plum soup in the summer, which is refreshing and refreshing.
In fact, when I take stock of RPGs recently, I feel more and more that a good game does not depend on how much publicity it has received or how many people have praised it, but whether you suddenly lose track of time when you open it. If you are also a player who likes to explore slowly, enjoy the plot and bond with partners, then you can really give "Pumice Stone Journey" a try. You can find it by searching "5.0" directly on the platform. Don't wait until it becomes popular one day to find out that you have never played it. It will be too late to come back and thank the editor then, haha.
Okay, that's all for today. If anyone in our forum is already playing "Pumice Stone Journey", or if you also have a private collection of unpopular RPGs that you would like to share with me, remember to leave a message in the comment area! I will select a few games recommended by netizens and give you a "Treasure RPG Recommendation 2" in the next issue. See you in the next post~ Compare your hearts!
