TLDR:
Let it cook some more - it has great potential but needs more balancing and better translation.


So here's the deal.
I like this game. It has charm, humor, nice pixel isometric graphics and lots of stuff going on more than just fighting. Lots to explore, lots to learn, and many NPCs' to interact with in several ways.

But I cannot recommend it because:

1) The translation is not that good no matter what you read in the forums/reviews. It's lacking. Period.
It "works", yes, but in many cases it doesn't make any real sense and you find flaws literally everywhere.
If you're picky with correct grammar and vocabulary, you should wait until it's professionally translated.
(some texts are hilarious however)

2) There is no way to tell if a fight from an event will be hard or easy until you commit to it, and you will often just by walking around get an event where you will have to make a choice to fight or not.
So what do you do? You either save-scum, or turn down/escape everything you encounter (unless you are fine with dying and starting over randomly, just because you entered the wrong store at the wrong moment)
In the long run this gets pretty annoying, and it happens often.

3) Fights are kind of unbalanced. You mostly win very easy or get your rear kicked instantly.
I guess that's because there are soooo many different ways you can play the game..
Solo, with a party, non linear progression and exploration, different weapons, and skills and passives... etc.
This goes a bit hand in hand with issue #2 above. You simply have no way of knowing what to expect.
Which, one could argue is realistic... sure. But this is a wuxia game with magics and skills, so there's that.

I'll probably stop playing here and wait and see if it gets some further updates down the line.

I give it 5/10 but I think it could be a 8/10 with some patching.

一款游戏性非常高的像素游戏，给了我酣畅淋漓的大侠体检。
一旦上手起来，更本停不下。
