This is really a nice Chinese game, especially for those interested in the swords man's adventures' type. I myself am a big fan of Dwarf Fortress, so the UI and learning curve isn't a problem for me. The game plays like Piraxis + civilization, with incredibly abundant references to Chinese culture and traditional texts, in vaious fields as medicine, taoism, buddism, literature, chess, music, tea and etc. The main developer has a degree in Chinese language and literature, so, the game almost made me cry when I first saw the book titles of various fields and all the cultural references.
And the "one more turn" allure made me go to sleep at four o'clock in the morning.....
