I'm a Chinese, but I'm writing this review in English since I hope gamers from other countries can share my joy with this game. Before I do any reviews, I must brief a little background of video game industry in my hometown. Simply speaking, our video game industry is still a baby comparing to other western countries and Japan. Though we have been developing in this field for years, we are merely focusing on online games (and mobile games recently) due to both market and policy issues. Thus, as a single-player ARPG in such negative video game environment, Gujian 3 amazes me a lot.
As a pure RPGer focusing only on ancient-age fantasy games (I don't like games with firearms or sci-fi), I have played lots of superior RPGs, both online and single-player, including Skyrim, The Elder Scroll Online, WOW, The Witcher, Zelda, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, Divinity, etc. To be honest, Gujian 3 is not on the same notch of most of these games. However, it is a huge improvement among many Chinese Xianxia(tales and kungfu) RPGs. Though the story is in similar style as most Xianxia games, Gujian 3 does speak a clear ideology. Rather than saving the world or epic-like love story (sometime love story crossing creature races), Gujian 3 is trying to display an idea of inheritance through out ancient Chinese history, and through 4 controllable roles, it does make me feel such magnificence.
Other than the story-telling, the action-based fighting style, role growth system, home construction and some other ways of playing are just common additions like most other RPGs. Improvements are needed, but worth playing definitely. Fights are challenging for newbies in action games but not that hard. It is not open-world game (you cannot make a good open-world game with only millions dollars investment). In summary, Gujian 3 is worth playing for those who want to experience Chinese fictional stories while not being bored by turn-based fighting styles (and, unfortunately, you have to be sophisticated in Chinese, at leats for now).Show moreShow less

The game itself is pretty good, however it requires an always online connection to play, for a single player game. Yes piracy is bad, but you are punishing your legit players instead. Pirates will always pirate and they will never buy your games, protected or not. Witcher 3 sold like hot cakes and it never has any copy protection ever, just make your game good and people will buy it.
You wanna sell your games outside of China? Firstly, an English translations(obviously), secondly, remove this kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM, I mean, it is bad enough to have Denuvo but it rarely interferes with regular gameplay, this is much worse, the game kicks you out when you lost connection to its server, again, for a single player game!Show moreShow less

It is a great game.
However, the stability of the game server needs to be improved.
You can't save your progress if you lose the connection with the server while you are playing.
The game won't kick you out if you wait for the game to reconnect with its server by just letting your main character standing still and pray for yourself.
If you try to move to another area which requires loading or enter a cutscene while the game informs you can't connect to the server at the moment, you will be kicked back to your windows desktop and lose any progress which has not yet saved on the server.
The game itself is great but the stability of the server caused me a lot of problems . If the problem of the server can be fixed I will certainly recommend you to buy this game and enjoy it.Show moreShow less

I really like this game and will keep playing, but with some serious reservations.
As someone who is fluent in Chinese and English, I noticed there are significant "reduction" in translations. Sure, it is free of grammar/spelling errors, but a lot of the spoken Chinese and English don't match.
Imagine this
Spoken words: "Based the injuries the victim suffered, and evidence that place Mr. Wu in the same room at the night of the murder, I believe he was the killer or know who is the killer"
Translated text "Mr Wu likely murdered the victim or know who did."
And that is sort of the problem, the translators fail to capture the substance of the story by using only literal (or close to literal) translations.
It is still an well made game.
The other problem is the Devs made little effort to translate their Witcher-like in game card game, it involve getting the right cards (In Chinese) to speak an certain poetic phase. Obviously, to English speakers, that is nearly impossible to play and the devs made it worse by not letting players take time to learn the tricks.Show moreShow less

I want to be able to like this game but the always online requirement means that the game is unplayable. I spent more than half the time reconnecting to server to save. interact with anything and the game tries to save online, watch a cutscene and it saves, advance to a second phase of combat and it saves. these saves always check if the server is online yet most the time you cannot reach it and time out so you need to select reconnect and keep trying which can take up upwards of 5 minutes each time.
The online requirement is an anti piracy measure however since the game has already been pirated, the online requirements only punish legitimate players.Show moreShow less

Not a bad game, standing out from Chinese RPGs. But why would a single player game require one to always be online? The games simply crashes and exits if you lose your internet connection for a second. And one loses all his progress.
I don't know why they did this, but I am not a fan of that.Show moreShow less

Brought this via the official channel, and now on steam again to support the developers. They are the unicorn in Chinese gaming industry, who make singer palyer games with all their heart, not like their fellow Chinese companies grabing money with cheap online mobile games.
For a price at 15 (Editted: 30 bucks for non-Chinese regions, sorry) this product is infallible, the best Chinese game out there.
Played for about 50 hours with the original purchase.
From a technical aspect, the game comes short in some ways than the AAA titles, but the graphics are at least decent, enjoyable even, with it's distinct Chinese fantacy style. The fighting system may not that in-depth, and get a little repetitive if you are expecting a GOD-of-War level combat experience, but combat is fluent enough, and can be challenging at high difficulty.
The home building system is quite addictive though, can't stop (thinking about commanding my minions) finishing, farming, mining, exploring for goodies. ☺
What the game offers is the unique experience set in ancient Chinese mythology, with fitting music, immersive character design, affecting main plot, and touching relationship development. The bound between the hero and the heroine comes natural, and is expressed with a elegant approach that feels quite different than the couterparts in western culture.
If you are interested in Chinese culture and tales, and wiling to try out an ARPG game with ancient Chinese mythology backgrounds, (and can understand Chinese language, which would be ideal) give the game a shot, it's worth every penny.Show moreShow less

The game itself is pretty solid, but it's a difficult one to recommend unless you're fluent in Chinese. Unfortunately the English localisation isn't up to scratch making the story difficult to follow which is why I can't recommend the game.
With a competent localisation it'd be well worth it, though.Show moreShow less
