Tale of Immortal (or 鬼谷) is an early access sandbox simulator, which came out only a week ago, but it did not prevent him from becoming one of the most popular games in Steam. Previously, the number of simultaneous players has reached its peak on a little over 172,000 people, which makes it fifth in popularity with the game in Steam, knocking out Grand Theft AUTO 5 and Rust. Players really enjoy Tale of Immortal, as now she has more than 15,000 positive feedback from Steam users, which gives it a 86 percent positive assessment. Not bad for the game of early access, which recently started, a few days ago with a simplified Chinese language as the only available language option.
CHARMING LIFE SIM CHINES PARENTS AND COMPLEX MARTIAL ARTS RPG THE SCROLL OF TAIWU headed the Global List of Steam bestsellers in 2018, and the latter quickly sold more than 1 million copies in just a few months.
Over the past few years, Steam has become a vital platform for Chinese gamers, seeking to bypass the tough and all-perky censorship of China in the media and the Internet. Although Steam theoretically should not be available in China, it remained unlocked (with the exception of community functions, such as forums) and has become an extremely popular way to play games without censorship, such as Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Currently, Steam has more than 30 million Chinese players, and simplified Chinese is the second in the prevalence of a language for the Steam client, according to its own studies of the Steam hardware.
The fact that Chinese gamers go to Steam and buy sophisticated sandboxes and single role-playing games, challenges the main assumptions of the Chinese Gaming Industry. Vera is that Chinese gamers want to play only free MMOs or excess of competitive multiplayer games, such as League of Legends, prevailed for decades. Nevertheless, bright Chinese indie games continue to break through Steam and exceed many highly budgetary releases.
The success of Tale of Immortal also represents the growth of a new gaming genre, which has been increasingly becoming more popular lately. Like an amazing cultivation simulator, which was released at the end of last year (and is now available in English), Tale of Immortal is a cultivation simulator, where players pass the spiritual journey of the Divine Ascension, strongly inspired by Taoism. You are starting like a modest person, and through meditation, discipline and the practice of martial arts, you end up becoming God.
