  • The multiplayer mode adds an extra layer of excitement, allowing players to work together and enjoy the game with friends.
  • The game features a variety of skills and synergies that can lead to interesting builds, making it enjoyable for players who like customization.
  • Despite its flaws, the game is visually appealing and has a fun theme based on Chinese mythology.
  • The gameplay is repetitive and lacks variety, with enemies behaving similarly and minimal mechanics to engage players.
  • The user interface and translations are poorly executed, making it difficult to navigate and understand the game.
  • Many players feel the game is a cash grab, lacking the depth and polish found in other titles within the genre.
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a vast array of abilities that lack significant impact, leading to a sense of redundancy. While the synergy mechanic offers a fresh twist, the overall experience is marred by a short playtime and a grind-heavy progression system. Despite some enjoyable elements, many players find the gameplay ultimately unengaging and frustrating due to poor UI and translation issues.

    • “This game is a coop survivor game similar to Vampire Survivor and other games in the genre. It has a fresh take and interesting synergy mechanic, making it quite different from Vampire Survivor.”
    • “Solid gameplay.”
    • “Unlocks allow for tech upgrades that boost stats or introduce new game mechanics.”
    • “In terms of gameplay, there is seemingly no limit on the number of abilities you have, and none of them really feel impactful to have and use.”
    • “The game is quite short; you can unlock 95% of the content after 10 hours (if you figure out the abusing mechanics), then you just grind the digits.”
    • “Awful UI, awful translations, awful gameplay.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are described as reminiscent of early 2000s flash games, with a sterile appearance that resembles clip art. While some players appreciate the polished visuals and thematic aesthetic, others note that the graphics could benefit from updates and improvements. Overall, the game features decent graphics for its genre, but there are calls for enhancements to elevate the visual experience.

    • “Good graphics, good skills and powerups.”
    • “While there are dozens upon dozens of options for games in this genre, Jianghu Survivor has multiplayer and a pretty fun theme and aesthetic.”
    • “Music and graphics are something a good developer can upgrade later on, and game systems can be displayed or explained in tooltips.”
    • “It's got UI and graphics like a 2000s era flash game, and there are some minor quality of life improvements needed (like banning some upgrades), but it's pretty polished for a survivors type game.”
    • “Graphics look sterile, like clip arts pasted on the screen.”
    • “Stages are mainly just a change in scenery, and enemies are a change in graphics.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound effects in the game are generally considered poor and lacking, with many users expressing disappointment in this aspect. There is a consensus that both music and graphics could be improved in future updates by a capable developer.

    • “Poor music.”
    • “Music and sound effects are lacking.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game is criticized as a cash grab, resembling a low-budget mobile game with minimal content and linear progression, yet it notably lacks advertisements.

    • “A bare minimum survivors-like that is clearly just a cash grab with equally minimal translations.”
    • “Think budget phone game with linear progression, without any ads.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both challenging and enjoyable, noting that while it starts off easy, it quickly escalates to intense difficulty levels that heighten the excitement. Overall, the grind is seen as a fun and adrenaline-pumping experience.

    • “The game felt a bit easy at first, but before long I was already grinding my nails on 150%+ difficulties that truly raise the level of adrenaline.”
    • “It's a grinding game, and some fun in it.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game performs well even with high levels of skill usage, it suffers from optimization issues, often consuming more system resources than expected for a title in its genre. This is a common concern among players, indicating a need for better resource management.

    • “Performance is good at high levels with loads of skills.”
    • “The optimization is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even with many elements on screen.”
    • “The game runs efficiently, making it accessible for a wide range of systems.”
    • “There's a problem with optimization, which is common for supposedly light games in this genre to hog more system resources than they should.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its amusing translations, which evoke nostalgia for earlier gaming experiences, particularly reminiscent of "Magic Survival." Players appreciate this lighthearted touch, suggesting it adds a whimsical charm to the overall experience.

    • “The funny translation reminded me of Magic Survival's earlier days; there definitely is some magic in it!”
