Tale of Immortal is an open-world sandbox based on Chinese mythology and cultivation. You will grow to become immortal, conquer the beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Season, make your choices carefully and grasp your own destiny.

Doesn't support English at the moment. Might be coming later.

What is cultivation? Seems to be a concept employed regularly in chinese fiction and games. Is it related to the german concept of bildung?

Cultivation (修炼 xiūliàn) (修真 xiūzhēn) (修仙 xiūxiān) – the process of improving health, increasing longevity, and growing powerful. This is accomplished by cultivating True Essence and training in martial & mystical arts. Usually, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to become an Immortal or attain godhood.[1]

In a broader sense beyond the Divine Realm, cultivation is not only by using True Essence, but rather by using other forms of energy such as Astral Essence and Spirit Essence.

These three energies are the foundation of cultivation in the 33 Heavens and is the basis for all life.

Westerners are ever so practical. Rationality is in american blood.

Chinese have their spirituality. Something like Japanese have.

Take this japanese game Sekiro. It's basic as fuck. Parry, dodge. Parry, dodge. Do this 1000 times and you'll master it. It's like "The Book of Five Rings" by Musashi - "Learn one thing to learn 10 thousand things" or something like that. Kaizen for you motherfuckers.

Like I said in the Dyson Sphere Program, the chinese are coming for video games, steadily they are going to dominate the market while westerners developers are preocupied with woke shit.

The quality and quantity of games in development/releasing is improving at a quick pace.

As much as it hurts for me to say, that is incline.

It's not only about chinese. Devs from other parts of the world are also rising. Eastern Europe for example. One of the reasons - it's cheaper to make games there.

Honestly i would rather play a well made chinese game than a sjw filled western one. If this hurts woke western game devs and we don't have to see that garbage all the better, i welcome our new chink overlords if that's the case.

Perhaps, but have the Chinese made a single quality video game yet? Right now, with Western video games complete wrecked on the AAA level by being all business, zero art, and lately also the SJW crap, minus the occasional indie effort, most of the interesting development is done in Eastern Europe and Japan.

English is not supported. To be fair Steam has been launched in China a few days ago. It has like 50 or so games available. Perhaps this is one of them.

Playing it now. Shit is addictive.
Grindy, and combat is a messy 2D hack and slash. At higher tiers whole screen is full of shiny shit so I don't even know where to aim, but I'm still putting hours into it.

How is this in the General Gaming section and not General RPG?

The game seems to have an official English language support now, but the reviews are very mixed (53% out of ~187 000 reviews), apparently because the developers have shitty attitude and managed to anger both their Chinese as well as Korean community (on top of the game not running for other people at all, for some reason!).

I will wait for it to be on sale, because despite all that the game looks interesting enough.
