i know nothing about this game... is this like rimworld???

[JESSIKA 07]

Hello everyone!
I was always curious about that game, but only bought it recently. I only try a few minutes of the game but i was wondering, from the feeling i got, is this like RimWorld? The way i see my cultivators going around, it reminded me of Rimworld.
What is the object of the game? A cultivator appear at first but i cannot select him... or give him any orders...

On the surface level it does seem similar to RimWorld, but it plays very differently.
The "objective" is technically to uncover the mystery of why, how and by whom your former sect was destroyed. But many ignore it or just rush it with a guide as it's really more of a minor part of the game. The real fun is in the sect building, growing your cultivators, sacrificing mortals and eventually conquering the world. There's plenty of heavily complex and (literally) esoteric mechanics to figure out, which is something I really enjoy.

Rimworld is objectively a much better, polished game. But it does not do Chinese cultivation setting at all (there is a mod in progress but it's like, early stages). Here there are some rough edges, UI is sometimes annoying, People play it because it portrays one particular exotic setting of Taoist cultivation world very well. I would even say extremely well. So once initial bamboozling is over, there is still a lot of challenges that are extremely tough to do in ironman mode. So people keep coming back to it, myself included.

Highly replayable, just like Rimworld.

Very funny review of the game. But that seems like an absolute nightmare of complexity.

Obviously with so many hours (1000+) in it, you definitely enjoy it! lol ;)

Thank you Tenna, i think i will stick with Rimworld. i watched the review video and i was astonished by the complexity of it. i would be totally lost playing that as i was in my first hour of play. I am sure this game was created by the same guy who created Crypto Bitcoin... lol

Well rimworld is much more pain, yes demands from rimworld and amazing cultivation simulator are the same,but they different. For example in rim you will need to make eventully killboxes if you want to keep going and not die to 50-60 anomaly or manhunting pack of sorts. In acs you will need to make cultivation room to create strong cultivator to defend. Yes you can make mechlord and mass defend yourself but map will limit your power growth anyway. But in acs there is no limit on qi and there is no limit on how much you can learn manuals so acs technicly eternal game plus immortal difficulty. And acs is better in prefomance cos of that. So if you like long runs, a real long ones acs is a choice. But if you just playing from time to time like i did last time in rimworld. Tried to make babies with perfect genes for killing all living biengs and got overrun by raid of anomaly of 60 invisible things forgot thier name, then rimworld is better. Personaly i like to switch from time to time playing long runs in acs and short ones in rimworld. And if you want suffering factorio or dwarffortess is a choice.
But in your place i would try pirate version first to test taste and then decided to buy or not. Personally me bought the game after that youtube video above. Cos i like numbers to growth thats ultimate drug for me like coockieclicker.

hey hey people

the main reason why I don't like rimworld and prefer this game more cuz I always like try to make a superhero colonist and that's impossible in rimworld even with mods you can't have a super powerful colonist that can beat the crap out of everything even if you stack multiple mods and customize the character from the beginning they can still be defeated pretty easily

in this game allows me to have my superhero or this case a cultivator it basically runs everything and everybody serves it so I focus all my resources into making a super badass

also cuz I have characters I feel like I care about I don't start a new game every time I play like I do in rimworld does it get bored of it fast cuz I don't feel attached to any of my colonists which makes me not attached to the Colony in this game I feel attached to all the characters I'm working on so I keep playing so I keep my sect running

I've been playing some RImworld and didn't liked it because of a silly tech tree.
I've been playing a lot of Dwarf Fortress and it doesn't haves a tech tree at all.
ACS, on the other hand, haves a lot of different technique trees which pleases me.

This is what makes me come back to ACS and not Rimworld.
