The verdict
A huge, deeply layered wuxia dynasty sandbox with enormous content, but obtuse, poorly explained and plagued by post-1.0 bugs, patch breakage and no manual saves. Skip it if you want a smooth, guided RPG.
Great for
Patient systems lovers who enjoy Crusader Kings-style generational play, build-crafting and wuxia, and will read guides
Main risk
Opaque systems, cluttered UI and buggy patches that break English text make it frustrating before it clicks
