Game is very interesting 4X grand strategy. Imagine Civilization+Cultivation where you manage your Immortal Sect compete for victory with rival sects.

Cultivation Path:
Your sect can focus on sword, martial, alchemy, weapon refinement, spell of 5 elements of Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, Metal and etc. You can also unlock/research new cultivation manuals.
Personal talent play a very important roll on how fast/high that member can cultivate to Immortality. Cultivator will cultivate slower as they grew pass certain age so if you miss the next realm then their lifespan will come to its end.

Sect Culture:
You can focus on many path, Cultivation, Influence, Recruitment, Merchantile, Alchemy, Refinement and etc a lot like civ civic.

Sect Protectorate:
Your sect can influence and take control of small district with resources, building slot pretty similar to city state. Also you can setup office/business in Big Town and compete with other Rival Sects.

Battle:
Battle is fought in realtime you can set it to auto/manual up to your preferences.

Overall there are many ways to improve your sect and its gonna be a very long game if you wish to reach immortality unlike other 4X game this one will probably last very long per run.

Too bad its early release on Steam does not come with English language and this game has some very complicated mechanics. So its quite a big loss of opportunity for people who can't read Chinese.

Need English

Is it perfect? No, especially with MTL; however, this game has potential (especially when the English translation eventually comes out so I can really understand how the game works).

I feel like the initial start of the game could do without the forced battle, a little more polish on secret realms and city management, as well as a better tutorial could go a long way towards keeping players hooked.

All in all, I recommend this game based on its current, Early Access English MTL state as one to look out for!
