The Real Review

The Scroll of Taiwu is a deep wuxia life sim where you guide generations of heirs, but it's a famously rough experience. Most players get hooked on the intricate storytelling and character building, but the game is plagued by terrible performance and a clunky, opaque interface that makes it hard to enjoy. The developer, ConchShip Games, gets a lot of flak for these persistent technical issues on PC and Steam, though the recent official English translation is a bright spot that many appreciate. It's a cult classic for its unique ambition, but be prepared for significant jank and a steep learning curve.
