The game has great graphics and an interesting combat system that incorporates martial arts, making it unique compared to other battle royale games.
Many players see potential in the game, believing that with further updates and improvements, it could become a standout title in the genre.
The concept of a battle royale set in ancient China with various weapons and skills is appealing and offers a fresh take on the genre.

The game suffers from severe lag and connectivity issues, especially for players outside of China, making it nearly unplayable for many.
Currently, the game only has Chinese servers, leading to long wait times for matches and high ping for international players.
The game is poorly translated into English, creating a significant language barrier that hinders gameplay for non-Chinese speakers.
