Amazing Cultivation Simulator

This game will change your life if you let it. I wish I could say that you could go in blind, but you really can't if you're an English speaker. There are a ton of different kinds of cultivation with different rules, and the game doesn't hold your hand through any of it. You will fail; your sect will die many times before you grasp the best ways to ensure their survival. And you will want them to survive, because they are are adorable Chinese chibi-humans striving for immortality. They need warm and cool clothes for summer, meals, comfortable rooms--just like real people. (Rimworld comparisons are accurate, but I think this game is a bit less punishing.) If you get the wrong feng shui in a bedroom, the disciple assigned to it could die in the middle of the night. The Chinese five elements system, Daoism, and general magicy stuff is usually fun, but it can cause trouble for your tiny protagonists if you're not careful. This game has a little bit of everything and it can be overwhelming at first. In addition to caring for your own people, you need to manage relations with a dozen or so other sects, some of which are responsible for your own sect's poverty and precarious position on the world stage. If you try to play the game the developers intended, you'll need to follow a guide that's about 80 pages long. Fortunately, this lengthy quest is entirely optional. I only attempted it after I was familiar with most of the game's other mechanics. There's some cool stuff you get for completing the main storyline, but you can play indefinitely without touching that storyline and still have a ton of fun. Choice is king in this game. Want to wipe out the other sects? Go for it. Want to raise a dragon, or a phoenix, or an adorable dog? You can! (And all three at once with mods!) Want to rescue all the animals and turn them into your disciples? Totally achievable once you know what you're doing. Want to raise your enemies as zombie workers in your fields? For the low, low price of evil sect reputation points, you can. The game is also very moddable, so you can do things like marry and have children with those options downloaded. You can play this game exactly the way you want thanks to mods. There are tons of customization options like clothes and weapons available, and they look different. Your tiny cult members can be highly individualized and specialized in their tasks. I really enjoy that the game seems to be endless (my oldest cult has existed for 3000+ days). You can just chill in your little sect world with soothing music and epic weather (thunderstorms have dragons and are awesome!) and manage your cultivators' lives. You can also build some impressive structures and buildings for your sect. Part life sim, part magic school, part world sim, it really does have a little of everything, and the mechanics can be surprisingly deep. Buy it if you want to scratch a magical Sims itch, or if the research needed doesn't bother you. This is my second-favorite game of all time, and it is worth the effort to learn.

这游戏越玩越后悔，不能手动操控小人，AI又智障，有时候真是血压飙升。游戏攻略说明又少，又不做说明优化，100h都不能入门。大量重复性操作不能批量操作，需要一个一个点，如果没有mod能点到你手断。开发商又放弃了这个游戏的更新。辣鸡

Amazing Cultivation Simulator takes you on a wonderful journey of micromanaging a mostly daoist sect of babies that will die of fright if the door of their room faces the wrong direction or someone drops a relic on the floor. You will interact with humans, monsters, bosses, and visitors from other sects who will give you a 1 star rating despite being assigned the nicest room in the sect, because they decided to stand next to a cowpat. You are supposed to eventually kill the other sects. I never got that far, but I can appreciate the sentiment. You get a pet dog who will defecate on people's beds unless you specifically discourage him from doing that. You also have the option of making him defecate exclusively on people's beds. Feces are a game mechanic. A surprising number of sect leaders seems to love dragon feces in most of my runs, which sucks because those things are pretty helpful if you let your cultivators meditate next to them. My rooster got a toothache once and there is a lively discourse over the fact that the English translation uses 'female bull' instead of cow. People can leave comments on objects which range in usefulness from full on guides, which you should read if you want to have any hope of not getting wiped out, to the aforementioned cow discourse. It's a Rimworld with a daoist cultivation theme. Don't let anyone shame you into not downloading the convenience mods. Or do. I probably wouldn't have sunk over 1200 hours (as of the time of writing this review) into this game without them. Take this as either a glowing recommendation or a stark warning.

I've never finished this game, I get bored after getting a few GC1 cultivators and just stop playing. But it seems like it's probably a good game.

不推荐。 1.首先UI界面非常丑，可以说是简陋，不精美。 2.小人建模粗糙，立绘千奇百怪。 3.人物交互逻辑繁琐，不智能。 4.物品文本介绍不全面，获取方式和使用效果可视化差，学习成本极高。 5.新手引导接近无，想要进阶游玩需要大量时间。 6.重开一局成本很高，关闭了游戏一阵子都不会想玩。

Recommended, because this game delivers what it promises: A RimWorld-like base game, overlaid with all the classic xianxia tropes: cultivation, warring sects, inner and outer disciples, manuals describing powerful techniques, and popular Daoist-inspired mysticism. The RimWorld-like portions of the game are a bit basic. The work priority system is limited to "on" and "off", and you can't say "make timber from logs whenever I have less than 30 timber". But unlike some RimWorld knockoffs, you do need to pay attention to individual disciples, including the outer disciples who actually do the work. As a RimWorld-like game, it's a decent B-tier. Inner disciples require significant individualized attention, because they're your major weapons, your adventurers, and your magic crafters. The game mechanics support the literary tropes here: the main job of your inner disciples is to become ever more powerful. But xianxia is all about gaining power through esoteric knowledge. And this game really leans into "esoteric knowledge" mechanically: You will need to learn Daoist elementalist interactions. You will need to care about the feng shui of your bedrooms. You will be constantly searching for secret manuals and rare natural treasures. You will care about the cultivation potential of your recruits. You will search for advanced cultivation paths (and each path works differently). The game is full of subsystems and hidden knowledge. There are also some things to be aware of. Several of the tutorials have been broken for years. The English-language documentation and wikis only scratch the surface. There are some occasional bugs in actual game play. But overall, this is a positive review, because if you want a B-tier RimWorld base with xianxia tropes, and if you want to search for esoteric knowledge in order to gain ridiculous power, the game delivers. It's a very solid match between mechanics and tropes.

the wiki alone has so much depth that studying it would enable you to start gathering qi irl

作为一个rimworld玩了几百个小时的我进游戏竟然不知道干嘛你敢信？纯随机地图随机开局，100%普通难度，开局第一个恶心到我的是工作设置没有自由或者自动的选项。这个就算了大不了我全程安排；切个木头竟然没有保持xx个的选择得让我一组组去点？？？？然后光速盖好基础生活功能，再请教神秘人全是说的废话。意思是我得自己会修仙才能玩你的游戏呗？百度到的攻略全是让我牛妖开体修开局，那我只能认为这个sb游戏正常根本没法玩。我在有神秘人保护的前提下去打个猎被咬的妈都不认识了，在及时治疗的前提下还是感染了，行算我倒霉一口就中奖。结果sb系统根本没有让伤员养伤到好的选项。那个脑瘫不断昏迷在床上之后起来蠕动到门口继续倒下被人救。你抄rimworld抄了个jb。卸载了再见

希望《了修2》会是真了修，而不是参考老致敬“隔壁游戏”。 上限：10分，游戏能给5——7分（因人而异），剩下还得靠mod“完善” [h2]新手扫盲部分：[/h2] 1.玩家需要保证生存的情况下，养出“仙人”弟子。 2.从太一门逃出来后，玩家带走少数弟子和物资开局，背景故事仅一个。 3.弟子刚开始都是凡人，通过日常工作表安排，练功获得“筑基值”，修满后可挑选功法踏入仙途。 4.从此，宗门分为内门（修炼）和外门（杂役）。 5.内门弟子任务：修炼，守家，战斗，外出搞物资。 6.外门弟子任务：种田，做饭，基建，“清理整理”建家地图。 7.根据已知的信息逐步探索，要么成就无敌宗门，要么灭门重开。 [h2]进阶闲聊部分：[/h2] [h3]1.五行尚可，风水真的大可不必。[/h3] ——五行设定和体验都还行，唯一差了点就是五行味太重了。 练气不喜欢五行克制物品就算了，元神期还在注意五行？ 没玩到再世仙人境界，不会都仙人了还受五行影响吧？ ——风水就更加不必了，环境值搞一搞就算了。 房屋坐南朝北坐北朝南，具体原因不应该是看赤道线吗？ 要不来个“黄道吉日”，当天突破内门可以天道筑基？ 要不要在来个“背山面水”，可以养灵养煞？ ——为什么硬要说风水问题？ 九劫难度水龙带来雷暴天气，木房子瞬间大凶。（金属性暴涨，金克木） 捏玛的，全游戏最舒服最简单的就是木房子，我恨不的全程先用木房勾着。 开局人数就那么几个，我还得一个守家，另一个负责跑外勤？ 甚至恨不得50人开局，一代弟子20人，然后狠狠搞材料？ 最最最关键的，好风水只能换来好心情收益，坏风水直接致死？？？？？ （你但凡设定好风水能聚灵加成呢？或者提升门派基础灵气值？） [h3]2.符箓位置目前6张，同时最多三张生效。[/h3] 无意间看到过几年前的版本，只有三张符箓位置····· 不是哥们，一堆符箓画出来就麻烦，三张符能干嘛？ ——外门符：高温符，低温符，移速符 然后就没得玩了，其他的都没必要。 弟子多起来我还一个个手操调温是么？这不脱裤子放屁吗？ 而且温差太大是你游戏设定难度，而不是特定地图温差大。 修仙界真这么恶劣，凡人不得死绝了？ ——内门符：调心符，修炼速度符，看情况 实际上这么写只考虑修炼，打架还有选择，合着还得切换。 都特码是修仙之人了，还只会用三张符？ 创意工坊能同时激活6张，这才稍微舒服点，其他综合符咒基本是超模的。 超模但是省事，毕竟九劫破事贼多，弟子多了哪有那么多注意力。 鬼谷我是这么骂的：一背包丹药你给我限制吃药？ 我和别人生死斗，临死之际因为“天道法则”不能狠吃一把药逃命？ 只因吃药数量上限，眼睁睁看着敌人杀我？（无能的修士是吧） [h3]3.工具是不会用的，人人道德楷模。[/h3] 我太一门弟子，哪怕是把锄头搬进仓库，只要“宗主”没指定我用，那我就不用。 MOD批量使用解决，包括多人食用药物。 宗门待遇差，弟子叛逃多，这么设定我还能接受。 正经宗门游玩，仓库辣么多工具，弟子真的不会自取吗？ 那法器，丹药，秘籍这些，外门谁有资格乱动？ 我是画了仓库啊，但我没指定第一行第一个摆哪本，谁叫你们这么摆放的？？？ [h3]4.内门几乎脱产，这真的合理吗？[/h3] 正经游玩，弟子前期一定会：修炼→调心→修炼循环。 官方那个平衡模式真的太抽象了，都修的心境不稳了，咋还不调心平衡？ 调心结合生产劳作不好吗？ 内门也划定时间表，劳作时间恢复心情，并且触发“灵光一闪”不行吗？ 谁说内门就只能修炼了？练气期干活不是更有劲儿吗？ 也别说什么傀儡代替内门做杂活，傀儡是傀儡的活，内门调心用来干活不冲突。 [h3]5.道友心情不好，责任是我没招待好？[/h3] 唉，这话不能乱说啊。我拿着上好的房子给你住，食堂敞开了吃。 结果你衣服品质差，修到心境崩坏，走的时候给我差评？ 你这道友就很离谱，出来做客因为个人行为导致情绪不佳，最后归因在我？ 道友莫走了，要是能造密室，我肯定把你关押在地牢做人体解剖。 先当做炉鼎狠狠修炼，然后做成充电宝。 如果不是游戏不允许，我高低得喂成昏迷状态，然后吸取道友的真元精元，铸我无上神功。 其他进阶部分就不说了，设定真的有待“修真化”和“合理化”。 现阶段正常游玩，需要MOD进行平衡性调整。 是的，mod也可以是调整平衡用的，而非无脑作弊或者换装。 大方面就暂且打住，先开一把再说。
