"From my initial impressions, this game stands out as one of the most impressive ones I've seen recently in terms of graphics. It features an incredible game engine that creates an immersive experience, making you feel as if you're inside a world of Chinese mythology. Playing the game with its stunning graphics and engaging action is truly enjoyable. In addition to this, the game is a pure action and role-playing game. We encounter the character adorned with numerous combat abilities, and through this character, we engage in a role-playing experience. The game features wearable items. There are also craftable items that we can produce. Additionally, we have skill points in the game that allow us to continuously modify our abilities and combat styles. These points evolve as we encounter monsters or progress through the story. The game is very enjoyable. The game engine is exceptionally impressive, as I mentioned earlier. There is also a very well-developed progression system within the game. In my opinion, a game like this can definitely convey the essence of Chinese mythology to the world. Specifically, it can shed light on the Monkey King, known in the West, and his true nature as the mythical character Sun Wukong. The game provides a valuable way to showcase this grand mythological figure. Recently, it even saw around 2 million downloads on Steam in a short period, a remarkable number for a non-online action role-playing game. Especially for a non-online action and role-playing game, this is quite impressive."
