There's a thread for Scrolls of Taiwu in general rpg forum where I wrote a somewhat lengthy review/explanation of maybe like half the game mechanics. Figured I'd mention it here as well for anyone that doesn't usually browse the diablo and oblivion forum.

Another interesting looking Chinese-only game is on the top of global top sellers. The Great Immortal Simulator, a wuxia version of Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress maybe with more RPG angle:



ss_242ddc6cf1a24fbe0dc949a9600a03d41523ec30.600x338.jpg




Google Translation:

"The Great Immortal Simulator" is a simulation business game that has Roguelike elements and combines elements of survival, role playing, and strategy. Inspired by works such as Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, New Swordsman, and Heavenly Map, the game is designed to simulate a unique journey to the game.

In the game, the player will guide the character from God's perspective to survive and build his own martial art. In the process, you will experience the accidents or surprises of the characters, solve the crisis and difficulties they face, and personally create the legend of Xiu Xian.

Every time you start again, it's a brand new map, find the right place in the random terrain, and make everything in the world your help. In the world of sandboxing, do what you want to do, without being restrained, and do whatever you want. It is up to you to decide whether to live in a cave or build a pavilion on the lake or use the luxury of the local stone.

You can choose to practice hard, and break through the layers of difficulty to fly into a fairy;
you can also smash the world, collect the treasures of heaven and earth, leave the name of
Hehewei ; or collect the world's grass, refine the Qidan god medicine;
or become a refiner Master, casting magic weapon, flowing into the world.
Of course, you have to remember that righteousness and evil are not two.

Tale of Wuxia developers are making a new game with a new publisher.

:shredder:


Steam page:

Chinese only at the moment.

Ho Tu Lo Shu: The Books of Dragon is the third title of Heluo Studio since its return to the PC game market with the game, Tale of Wuxia. It inherits the trademark feature of Heluo Studio, high degree of freedom for players, creating an wuxia style open world for the first time. With realistic art style and rich character development, Ho Tu Lo Shu:The Books of Dragon allows player to explore a vast wuxia world and create their own adventure with the company of various memorable characters.


Vast open world without loading screen
The biggest open world CRPGs ever made! Explore caves, mountains and all the secret areas hiding on the map, roam free and experience the beauty of this world. Run into rare encounter around the corner or chase mysterious legend across this breathing wuxia world where every NPCs have their own inventory, property, works, preferences and routines.

A quest to find a way home
Drifting in time and space, you accidentally came to this unfamiliar wuxia world. Eager to find a way back home, you begin your search on Ho Tu and Lo Shu, the two lost books of dragon. Follow clues and questlines, learn various styles of martial arts and gather fearless characters into your squad in order to fight your way through dangerous foes and sinister plot. Or simply venture off the track and dig into the story of the people you meet on the road. Help them along the way or betray them, it’s all your choice.

The next generation of turn-based strategy battle
No loading screen and background changes, fierce battle begins right on the spot. Spend your action point carefully on moving, using martial arts and items. Command the four members of your squad and face the challenges and surprises of fearsome beasts, honorable masters and cunning villains of Wulin.

Rich character development with flexible martial arts combination
Firmness, Softness, Quickness, Calmness, Cleverness and Dullness, among the six paths of inspirations, which one will you take? What kinds of profound techniques will you choose to master in each of the martial arts skill trees? With careful planning of your inspiration and martial arts, you will be able to build the one and only Xia of your ideal.


Tried it out. Its technically really janky with alot of ugly pop up and occassional drops in frame rate when a new sector loads.

The good is that the fighting system is completely redone from the Tale of Wuxia. There is much more freedom to mix and match move sets from different styles, new stance system that encourages characters to specialize in different roles and a less painful crafting system. Quests, at least in the starting village and from what I can understand, also encourage exploration and investigation. It can be easy to run into a combat encounter that you are not ready for while exploring, but the game allows you to retreat without penalty in most cases.

Overall its rather enjoyable.

What is this craziness? I've seen clips of this game elsewhere, but none of the videos were in English so I can't even search for the title (unlike the more well known titles such as Sword & Fairy).


This is 侠客英雄传XP, a remake of an old Wuxia rpg 侠客英雄传3 by 精讯, a Taiwan developer and released in 2005. The title 侠客英雄传 means 'Legend of Martial Hero' in English. The original game was released in 1997 and eclipsed by Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. Not a very well-known game even in Chinese community.

But I don't think there is an English version.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Divinity: Original Sin Torment: Tides of Numenera Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pathfinder: Kingmaker Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture
Those pictures and videos are pretty titillating. I'm trying to absorb what I saw and recognize a common theme among these Chinese games, but maybe it's too much to get abreast of it all. I'll keep juggling what the common theme could be in my mind. I can be such a boob about these things though.

Bad news. Heluo Studio, developers of Tale of Wuxia games and 河洛群俠傳 (Ho Tu Lo Shu : The Books of Dragon) were sued by Soft-World. Heluo lost the case and must now pay $24,000,000NT. They don't seem to have the money and will have to close. Check out the below link.

I asked for a link, and it turns out that this isn't bullshit.

Oh well, I got three games that I thoroughly enjoyed out of them.
