What players say

If you want to truly immerse yourself in Chinese culture, while also having an amazing gaming experience (If you have a NASA Spaceship as a PC) This is the game for you. I have absolutely loved this game from start to finish. Highly Recommend it. Only play it on a SSD though.

Spent way too many hours in this game and I can say one thing it's a total pain in the ass but impossible to put down. Visually it's pure nextgen every screenshot looks like art. But the combat is the real deal. After dying 30 times when you finally learn the boss timings and hit that perfect dodge freeze and stance switch you feel like a god. Painful, hard, but absolute peak!!!))))
