About
In the world of "The Scroll of Taiwu", you will not only play the mysterious "heir of the Taiwu clan," but also immerse yourself in the complex martial world with varying life stances — whether good, evil, or neutral.
You can visit martial sects around the world to learn a wide variety of martial arts and secret techniques; you can forge brotherhoods or become embroiled in blood feuds. You can build your own village, manage various industries, and even marry your true love, raising children and fulfilling a destined romance. All this leads up to the final confrontation with the Taiwu clan's greatest enemy, where you will decide the fate of the world!
Every Taiwu World you create will be truly unique —
With completely randomly generated maps, NPCs, and enemies, each playthrough will be a brand-new adventure.
You can learn thousands of martial arts techniques from the fifteen distinct martial sects,
and hundreds of traditional Chinese crafts and skills from nearly any NPC you encounter.

In addition to its RPG gameplay, "The Scroll of Taiwu" also blends in many other game types, such as Roguelike elements filled with random conflicts,

and carefully planned simulation and management mechanics: construction, gathering, expansion, management, crafting, and maintenance.

It also brings back childhood nostalgia with its cricket fighting gameplay — capture the most combative "General" cricket, then engage it in an "insect diplomacy" duel with the Shaolin Abbot.

Thousands of NPCs, each with their own relationships and life experiences, will age, fall ill, and eventually die.

You can form various kinds of relationships with them, even deciding their fate.
You will marry and have children with your partner.
You will cultivate and pass down your lifelong martial arts skills to the next heir.
In the vast sea of people, you may even search for your lover from a past life.
Through gathering, crafting, repairing, and refining,
you can use your own hands to forge any weapon or armor, and brew a variety of medicinal pills.
Pick up a poisoned weapon, wear poisoned garments, and consume antidotes laced with poison.
A unique combat system that restores the design of "countering moves," "using everything as a weapon," and "the longer the blade, the stronger the strike, the shorter the blade, the more dangerous the gap."
Every slash, sword strike, and palm will land on different parts of your enemy's body, creating a true-to-life combat experience.
Combine your martial arts techniques, channel your inner Qi strength, and refine your skills and strategy.

And there's much more, waiting for your discovery.

Amazing game with really deep systems. This is my first time ever playing and I don't speak or read any form of Chinese, but I find the English translation to be perfectly legible and understandable. If you think to yourself "Sure, but is it fun?!" Look at my hours played. >.> I can't escape! There are very few videos out there but the English speaking discord has fantastic guides - in particular the farming guide will walk you through every step of a first playthrough.
不推荐游玩,憋了8年还是依托,bug满天飞,游戏内容全靠mod顶着,剧情充斥着茄子的自我陶醉,我就不明白为什么非得留着染龙紫,玩家想看到的剧情是戮力同心反抗天神,而不是b几个弱z天神谈恋爱犯下大错,主角像个小丑一样到处擦屁股,你要说现在的剧情,那我只能说勉强,茄子完全不知道自己在写什么,主角是到处穿越,又是盘古,又是啥,感觉完全是在哄傻子。而且传剑呢?传剑这个设定在剧情里几乎是完全被舍弃了的。。好评的剧情大概只有铜生。再说游戏,正式版后bug越更越多我是真绷不住,我在太吾村过个月,村民给我奏乐看画,给我降低了80心情,奇遇系统就喜欢硬塞哪个小解密,还有一堆bug,好几个奇遇更新后做不了的,奖励稀烂,除了几个招人和拿内力转换的奇遇全都是作完体力就走。游戏越打越卡,越更新越卡,上个版本我还能正常打,进个版本进战斗后经常卡,放个摧破卡一会然后出伤害和动作,巨恶心。引导稀烂,要不是看了视频我都不知道tap有快捷栏,你无名小村和亡流寨干什么的,教程在哪里?给你百小册自己去看是吧,就送仨npc和蛐蛐是吧,还有传闻系统,这玩意作用约等于没有,精纯锁和经济系统稀烂,药厨毕业后随便买东西,那我问你你精纯锁干什么的,这个精纯锁设定就是为了恶心玩家的,还有养龙,养龙的肝度是认真的吗,我就请问了谁家龙一辈子只能培育一次啊。推荐新人赶紧跑。说是自由探索,实际上自由度有限,所有剧情立场对话本质都是仁善,剧情就是线性的最后差距只有是不是兴盛。这游戏疑似有水军,鬼知道哪来的人一直护着,我周围的人玩了没一个不骂这个交互和教程的。
我客观的说,战斗系统和志向算有内容的,剧情不如网文,那个打15门派才能进结局的设计真的傻逼,我梦回二周目实在不想再吃一遍屎了,而且你这坨玩意和你几年前做的东西真的有什么质的飞跃吗,你这八年吃屎去了吗用了八年干两年的事,我还上线前送了我朋友一份,我和人家说这游戏作者愿意八年磨一剑,你磨你妈去了
门派剧情关键选项节点完全没有提示。衰落了也不给补救措施,只能回档或者是开新档,不知道谁花了几十小时做到最后发现要重做一遍。真的烂的让人时隔多年还要给个差评,染畜和龙畜为什么剧情还在洗,脸都不要了,别来骗钱了。干脆点把这俩角色删了都不会?这俩是你们的亲爹亲妈?真是给你们孝顺完了。最后建议所有玩家别买别试,只会让自己血压升高变得不幸。
八年拉一坨
18年九月份购入,八年前游戏什么玩法,现在游戏还是什么玩法,8年没有在核心玩法深耕,我的建议是不会做游戏别做游戏了,项目规划一塔糊涂,核心玩法bd没有深度,如果想写小说,可以去起点和番茄,没必要折磨国产游戏玩家,感谢18年那个时代吧,也感谢当时愿意手搓代码的你自己吧,赚点钱得了,以后就别再恶心我们国产单机玩家了谢谢
傻逼吧连个新手任务引导都做不好,任务条件他妈能不能标记清楚?一个简单的采摘食材的任务,傻逼一样谜语人就算了,到底需要收集多少能不能标记我草泥马,你这逼游戏的行动是有费用的知不知道?我又不知道那傻逼村长需要多少,就只能一次次来回村庄?很好玩吗?我草泥马是不是很好玩?一个月就30点行动点数全他妈浪费在路上?写清楚任务条件是不是会死你麻痹的
八年在摸鱼吧。和当年有何区别?
这其实是一个十几个小时就可以玩好玩开心的简单游戏,但是制作组为了体现自己的用心?掩饰自己的无能,强行拖游戏时间,反倒把这款游戏变成了空洞的裹脚布。虽然总的来说是有创新和可取之处,但为什么8年时间做成这个样子。
