[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile-tier game![/url][/b]
This "game" is riddled with toxic mobile app microtransactions in the nasty real money cash shop that's integrated into every aspect of this shallow garbage.[/quote]
"一梦封神" (Dream of Gods) looks exactly like one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. While I couldn't find this on the app stores, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app... it has all the same qualities, from the mobile app tier graphics to the shallow gameplay you expect from mobile app cash harvesters. We can't say why this wasn't accepted on the mobile app stores, maybe it's because Google and Apple have QA departments, and Valve has "Steam Direct".
This Chinese scamware carried the price tag of NINETY UNITED STATES DOLLARS... I am not kidding. Whenever a developer prices something that's objectively trash so highly, you know it's a scam. And it's got a nasty cash shop too, just like a mobile app! Which is fitting and appropriate because that's what the game looks and plays like too.
It looks like a PvP turn based tactical "RPG-lite", but as usual with mobile scams, the outcome of the fights is determined by who gave the developers the most money in the toxic cash shop.
There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the cheap, bright, colourful plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop.
Setting the predatory mobile monetization aside, this is an amateur mobile project, not a PC game. I didn't pay thousands for a serious gaming rig to use it like an iPhone, and you shouldn't have to either... we are here for PC games, not mobile trash.
The "developers" walked away from this 1 year and 7 months ago. This is never getting finished. This unfinished game is just polluting the store and making it harder for people to find real, actually finished games. This isn't good for gamers or for developers who do the right thing.
Regardless of their failure to finish the software, the amateurs definitely found all the time in the world to implement a functional microtransaction store and back-end billing system. That indicates their only real objective was to bleed cash from Steam gamers just like mobile devs do with mobile peasants.
There is no English translation, but it's no loss. The language of bad quality shovelware products is universal.
Let's look at the price and what kind of value this actually offers gamers.
There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $8 USD for this.
Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded.
Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this peaked at [b]only 10 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.
All other issues aside (any of which would disqualify this from being worth your time), this is a game that relies on other players for it to be viable, and because there's not enough players, it's not viable. I can't recommend anyone downloads this, it's basically dead.
