A PvE extraction game built on Chinese folk horror, this early access title scores 71.2 while players wait for optimization.

👍 Strengths

107 reviews enjoy it, and some find the lack of PvP a relief that makes looting and exploring feel comfortable. Others call the combat against large enemy groups satisfying and the loot hunt addictive. 56 like the world and its setting, praising villages, folk architecture and a concept that few games cover. Story & World ranks 597th of 1096. 36 enjoy exploring together with friends in squads of up to five, and some mention talismans and items that combine in clever ways. Multiplayer ranks 336th of 642.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support appears in 56% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1298th of 1399. 79 reviews describe poor performance, with frame drops in busy scenes full of effects, players and monsters, even on low settings. 50 say there is no tutorial to explain the many materials, upgrades and storage rules, leaving new players to guides. 25 report bugs, and a few recommend waiting for fixes before buying. Some also mention a heavy grind and weak translations. Gameplay ranks 1324th of 1396.
