Along the way, you'll encounter a host of other bizarre characters and events. Just how bizarre? Dive into the game to find out!
Game Tips
At the start, focus on enhancing one skill to improve your survival chances.
If your health is low, opt to "Rest" at Nuwa’s place to recover.
The "Duration" upgrade is more powerful than you might think.
Hovering over the skill panel at the bottom left shows detailed skill information—use this feature wisely.
Each map has about four items. Collect them before the progress bar fills, or they'll disappear.
Every skill maxes out at level 10; beyond that, no further enhancements can be made. Plan your upgrade choices accordingly.
Some skills might seem weak initially but can become immensely powerful with enough upgrades.
Your attack range increases with your level, becoming wider in the later stages (though not by much).
Keep a safe distance while attacking monsters to avoid depleting your health quickly.
Game looks visually very nice and feels nice to play. The early stages feel empty but true to its theme the trials are becoming harder and harder. The mythical upgrades look nice and are fun to look at; don't you just want a big ass mythical white tiger on your side?
The translation is good and the bits of the story I saw are fine, the game is rather humorous than serious.
If you are unsure if you will like it - check out the demo, it's the first trial of the game and you will have about the right idea about the game after playing it.
Pretty neat & simple game. Managed to get full achievement in 10 hours. Relic is probably the hardest & most annoying stage, where you die mainly because you get caught/stuck in/between the moving houses. Nova & meteor are the two skills I find the most useful for all stages. Enjoyed the game, will probably not play again until there are new characters and/or gameplay.
