Splat, if you weren't aware, "cultivation" is in itself a genre in China. It often features martial arts, Taoist sorcery/mysticism, and Chinese mythology. The concept of self-cultivation is human or animals gathering Qi through spiritual and physical refinement. Refinement can be done via studying (usually esoteric and religious scriptures), meditation, or training (often martial arts). The ultimate goal of cultivation is to become immortal (Xian for humans, Demons for animals), and finally to become a deity.

I feel the need to add that this game is actualy really feature heavy. I saw it and thought initially it was unfinished but thats because there werent many workstations and stuff but the midgame isnt based on 1000x different buildings and crafting tables. The building aspect of the game is aways significant but there are like 50+ hours of gameplay in just the character magic system which is the meat of the game. You also unlock more buildings later and the fungshui system of buildings that splat didnt get to is also really complex. honestly you probably need to put in atleast 3-5 hours and promote your first character before you get any kind of idea what the midgame will look like
You sort of skipped the biggest part of the game. . . . cultivation. . . once you get one of your characters to become a cultivator, he becomes an inner disciple and stop doing menial chores, focusing only on getting stronger Thats when the game starts to differ majorly from rimworld(and when the world map opens up to you)
@@dr.bherrin doesnt change the fact that the biggest part of the game wasnt shown, as it is on the video giving the wrong impression to viewers something that had to be mentioned in the comments so ppl who see this doesn`t get mislead.
@@dr.bherrin Honestly? You should be planning your first gold core from the moment the game starts. And although he hasn't realized it, he kinda screwed himself with his characters. Like, I wont say that you *cant* progress from where he started, but it's going to be rough even if he knew exactly what he was doing- which clearly, he doesn't. Basically, Animal people? The Yaoguai? They are on a doom clock. They transformed into humanoid forms in defiance of the creed of heaven. They now have X- number of days to become strong enough to face heavens judgement, or be forcibly de-evolved into a demon animal that is automatically hostile. The red text that says "Shapeshift trib: 388" isn't for show. The thing is, his bunny mans stats are awful. Potential is nice if you have a lot of resources to capitalize, but starting out, you really want your first cultivator to have high Qi sense because you dont have years to work on getting your shit together. On the plus side, almost 400 days is actually plenty of time to find alternate cultivation methods. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the high INT and social skills you'd want in a Shendao Cultivator, or the medical and crafting skills you'd want in a physical cultivator. And all of his peeps are Yao-boys. And I dont think he actually looked at the other two's stats when he was in character creation- and yes, you can go through all three. Basically? He's in for some hard lessons. And I can't even tell how far down the road he'll receive them because he didn't page through his other characters stat sheets.
WoW has caused a great divide in humanity: Those who are for pandas. And those against. Wither you like it or not, you are one of the two. It's just good that gamers are not capable of actual genocide.
I love games like this where the mythology is different from the usual western European mythology. Makes things interesting! I like western European mythology a lot, but I like seeing how different cultures looked at the same things uniquely.
I’ve studied Feng Shui, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong etc. I also have thousands of hours in Rimworld. For some reason I feel drawn to this game...
I've put around 100 hours into this game, and i can say that it is a masterpiece.... This game is basically 40% of building things if you are comparing it to rimworld. Its more about setting the way what you build is functioning, like the gathering of qi, choosing element for a certain type of building, the layout of the things inside of the building,etc. And the combat system is not a "plug best equipment and win" kind of system, it revolve around the element system and stacking buff that can took a lot of time just so that you could be killed by a cultivator that has been doing it 200+ years earlier than you... I LOVE THIS GAME👍👍

@@bvbxiong5791 "Driftland: The Magic Revival" was a bit in that gameplay style, you couldn't directly order your heroes and had to put bounties on stuff, wasn't a great game though.
I don't know what this is, I haven't watched the video at all, but I'm buying it to support whoever made that art because give us more of that in this world, holy hell! Reminds me of Muramasa: The Demon Blade.
As a native Chinese, the developer's attempt to translate archaic/mythological Chinese literature into modern English is both funny and commendable. If some of these phrases do not make sense, it's because it would take too much screen space if translated faithfully, assuming that is possible.
It was a work and a half to get things named in an understandable way for people who didn't know what Xianxia, wuxia and xuanhuan are. The translation was pretty good on the first test run of it honestly but did use names that didn't make much sense for English language.
Clever name for the game, I thought Splat was saying it was "Amazing", but it is just part of the game. It's like naming your kid TheCoolest, or something. Hot girl: "Who's that guy?" Her friend: "Oh, he's TheCoolest." Hot girl: "Well, in that case, I will immediately attempt to bear his children."
This is a great game for fans of cultivation. I bought it a while ago before the english release. It's very good. I've been reading chinese light novels for years though lol. So I've got the background to understand it. By that I mean the setting,
Reading those many novels of that invincible dude being betrayed, reincarnating, then owning everyone with his reset foundation with a dangerous super powerful manual he never dared to learn because it required he reset his cultivation to the beginning.

Nifty. Now let's see a 3d 'World of Warcraft' style 'Amazing cultivation Simulator' where you actually get to control your main character, and throw in some Minecraft digging ability so you can set pit traps for invaders, and MAN I would pay for that subscription in a heart beat!
I've had this on wishlist since it showed up on the Steam log-in news popup. Just been waiting for a decent discount to get it, don't really make enough to justify buying full price games. Of course, the fact that this will be my first Rimworld type game promises 'great' things about how successful I'm going to be.
I was a frog at the bottom of a well it seems. This video has allowed me to go past the bottleneck in realms! I will not forget this favor laoshi Splat The ^_^
I saw this game a week or so ago and I decided to ignore it because I'm not a fan of rimworld. But I started playing Slay the Spire yesterday and I really like The Watcher, a character who basically works like a cultivator. And now that you reminded me of this game, I have to try it to sate my current interests
This is really reminding me of the Thousand Li series by Tao Wong. It's a fun take on Chinese fantasy in English, that manages to explain the Chinese mythology and tell a good story at the same time.
Basic tip for making rooms - earth walls, roofs, door and decorations with iron bed, crafting stations etc. That's the basic of fangshui. You make supporting nodes(walls, decorations etc) with feeder element , primary nodes(bed, crafting stations etc) with element that consume the support element. Also crafting room doors face east, kitchen room west and bedrooms South. Bad fangshui bed room with wrong facing door can kill your cultivator.
at first, i thought this game was just the same as rimworld but it's really different. i hope they sold well in china, I heard there are many indie games that made billions of USD just in china alone and i hope they are one of them.
Original!, fascinated by the ideas, and ideals of cultivation (trying to ascend, become more). Looks interesting but from the comments sounds very hard (the game). I don't personally tend to favor games I have to spend hours searching for info on the net/forums just to learn how to play it. I consider that a flaw in a game. Seems faaar too much like work, which kinda defeats the basic purpose. Will follow this though, who knows.
It is hard to get a good grasp of the game just from just half an hour, because things become very different when your characters start to seriously cultivate. It is like two games in one, where you have the very rimworld like game play for the mortals within your sect, and then you have the people who cultivate and deal with the world of magic and stuff.
Oh, you can still do that. It is actually recommended that one pretend to recruit people from the surrounding areas just to have them kowtow(bow while hitting their head on the floor) endlessly inside of a deadly cold room until they die an anguished death, all so you can use their tortured soul to make your ginseng roots taste better.
So, anyone sleeping in that second bedroom is going to die of a heart attack at some point because of bad feng shui. But She Cai will probably go berserk and kill everyone before that happens because she only had 36 days on her tribulation. Also if you want to get into the cultivation stuff quicker you do have the forming pill.
If you're going to make this a series, its probably not a good idea to start off with yaougai. They're ticking time bombs and die if you don't get them to a highish golden core or Primordial state by the time their Shapeshifting Tribulation count down hits 0.
I done goofed by accepting a cat yaougai ajd making him my sect leader. I chose the water path that requires constitution, sixteen something. And the Cat is high Cha and Int but mediocre constitution. I got 200 days on him Am I screwed? Kitty gonna go boom?
For why the dragon appeared? The Flood Dragon has a good chance of flying past and saying Hello during thunderstorms. I also put the link to your video on ACS' discord, and while I doubt my DM to you on discord influenced you to try the game out, I am happy to see you try it out nonetheless.
So I made 2 wrong assumptions right out of the gate. I thought the video title meant a strong recommendation from Splattercat, and that it was a farming game... Let's see if I misinterpreted "Simulator" as well.
Simulator in the sense that its more like sims, cause it doesn't actually simulate what its like to be a martial artist lol But the systems are done really well and they simulate chinese magick systems
I saw this game a week ago but wasn't sure if I was gonna get it. So I looked it up if you played it since it seemed like a game you would play. Glad you got to play this needed to see what game play is like from some one not really sponsored by them.
Most of the game is outside of the sect/colony. The world map is where you trade, interact with other sects, take over villages and send your cultivators on adventures.
I'm the same way, I first found his channel 2 or 3 weeks ago and now I find myself just random scrolling up to a year or two back, which makes it even better if I find games I want to play because since it's been so long since he's done those videos chances are the developers have continued working on the games since then and any problems that Splat had might have been ironed out.
Finally an indie game that I bought and play first before you put out a video for it. Let me help you explain what this game is all about. Rimworld is a colony builder where the machine like efficient interconnected buildings are the meat of the game while you deal with love, hate and romantic drama of your pathetic weak mortal colonist. Amazing Cultivation Simulator is about making a GOD or GODS. After near 100 hours in the game...it was a journey to learn how to survive, how the magical Feng Shui design system affect the qi and health of your people. Learning to farm plants, human souls, magic beast blood, alchemy books, magic skill books, books of talisman making, elixir, artifacts, book of laws, etc. Then quite another journey to even produce rank II golden core inner disciples...then disappointment when generation 3 inner disciples lack potential. The master disciples system is important and need to be very careful to not over learn magic skill as for every 100 attainment points heaven will be jealous and send down tribulations. Variety of laws practiced by your inner disciples is the difference between success or failure of your entire sect as they could teach each other what skills are lacking and supplement each other weak points. There are a lot of hidden danger. Inter cults politics, developing outpost to get better recruits, herbs and medicine to increase chances to get that rank 1 golden core. In map resources a just enough to start your basic structure. Your journey to godhood is very resource intensive. Now I need to work out how to generate at least 64 spirit/souls for my primordial level inner disciples, then craft ultimate artifacts and equipments imbued with shard of their souls, unlock the ability for my cult leader to wield more than one artifacts making him the ultimate god of life and death...had not even scratched the surface of inter cult politics, trade and war. Too focused on just getting my inner disciples strong enough to survive the world outside. From what I explained haven't even reached mid game.
Cultivation in this context is 'cultivating' your body and soul to increase your power. It is actually used the same way as cultivating the land to grow crops but applied to your spirit basically. Like if you imagine you sit at the bottom of a waterfall meditating to increase your inner calm and connect with your soul and find peace. Though it is a mythical setting so of course they kick everything up 100 levels, and people doing this gain super strength, learn to fly and cast magical spells and crazy stuff like that.
I've been looking for a game in the genre with the idea of martial art sects. But I was thinking in the lines of games like 'Domina' or 'World Boxing Manager'. I have this idea of a wandering spear master whose finally ready to establish roots in a rural village that turns into a massive citadel after a few generations.
@splat if you want to get into cultivation stuff to understand it better there's heaps of novels and manga online. Reading some light novels might be too much just to understand a game but if you're interested go read some manga on it, like the Tales of Demons and Gods comic
Hey SplatterCat. If you want to try and organically find out more of the game, there's one action you can take. My other review was heated, and I'm sorry for that. If you want to try this again, do two things. Roll up characters that are Human. Do not play a Yaoguai if you're new, very bad things will happen if you start with them. Then, find the Forming Pill you start with, and feed it to one of them using the menu when you click on it. This feels like Rimworld for the first two weeks if you don't have anyone cultivating. The only similarity with Rimworld is the moodlet system and the top down view with graphical overlay. Additionally, if you're stuck, click the three dots you can find over a lot of names. This brings you to a global comments section for that item. If you don't play in Chinese this is VERY useful. If you do play in Chinese it's just a place to exchange racial slurs. Day 45 will educate you on the power level of the game. You will probably die at that point. Consider making a large room of copper and bonfires for him. DAy 400+ is when the casual filter appears.
Check out The Scroll of Taiwu as well, which is the other famous Chinese indie that came out in 2019. Chinese players always compared the two, but I prefer Taiwu. Think Rimworld + Crusader Kings in a turned-based open world. You could learn some martial arts from npcs, kill them to get your money back (no), buy/barter/craft/enhance your stuff, sell them to your local nobles for quick cash, learn poetry or chess, use those to seduce that noble's daughter, hire an assassin to get rid of her husband, watch her husband and the assassin fight each other to death, offer to treat their injuries for more cash, and most importantly, catch bugs and participate in underground bug fight rings to get rich fast. It's a really gem if you can look past the buggy English translation.
If you're into anime ; check "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" (FANREN XIU XIAN CHUAN ZHI FANREN FENG QI TIAN NAN) ... it's about cultivation of spirit & those stuff.
Splat, if you weren't aware, "cultivation" is in itself a genre in China. It often features martial arts, Taoist sorcery/mysticism, and Chinese mythology. The concept of self-cultivation is human or animals gathering Qi through spiritual and physical refinement. Refinement can be done via studying (usually esoteric and religious scriptures), meditation, or training (often martial arts). The ultimate goal of cultivation is to become immortal (Xian for humans, Demons for animals), and finally to become a deity.
Or for Europe people think it like magician warrior that revolves around their mana to get stronger.

I feel the need to add that this game is actualy really feature heavy. I saw it and thought initially it was unfinished but thats because there werent many workstations and stuff but the midgame isnt based on 1000x different buildings and crafting tables. The building aspect of the game is aways significant but there are like 50+ hours of gameplay in just the character magic system which is the meat of the game. You also unlock more buildings later and the fungshui system of buildings that splat didnt get to is also really complex. honestly you probably need to put in atleast 3-5 hours and promote your first character before you get any kind of idea what the midgame will look like
Yup, you enter e new cultivation stage and it is a whole new different rules... Not including increasing the buff of your disciples
You sort of skipped the biggest part of the game. . . . cultivation. . . once you get one of your characters to become a cultivator, he becomes an inner disciple and stop doing menial chores, focusing only on getting stronger
Thats when the game starts to differ majorly from rimworld(and when the world map opens up to you)

"She Cai is going to ascend before all of us"
And then they'll have to work on Bankai! *rimshot*
Nah, Bahn Cai is her brother, who ironically thinks cultivation is stupid and wants to become an accountant.
So, anyone sleeping in that second bedroom is going to die of a heart attack at some point because of bad feng shui. But She Cai will probably go berserk and kill everyone before that happens because she only had 36 days on her tribulation. Also if you want to get into the cultivation stuff quicker you do have the forming pill.
Hell, I don't think I have been in an empty comment section before
/em singing "Choppin' down some trees" to the tune of "Choppin broccoli"...
You were thinking of Majesty with the exploratio nflags
You had me at "Meets Martial Arts Dojo".
If you're going to make this a series, its probably not a good idea to start off with yaougai. They're ticking time bombs and die if you don't get them to a highish golden core or Primordial state by the time their Shapeshifting Tribulation count down hits 0.
I done goofed by accepting a cat yaougai ajd making him my sect leader. I chose the water path that requires constitution, sixteen something. And the Cat is high Cha and Int but mediocre constitution. I got 200 days on him
Am I screwed? Kitty gonna go boom?
For why the dragon appeared? The Flood Dragon has a good chance of flying past and saying Hello during thunderstorms.
I also put the link to your video on ACS' discord, and while I doubt my DM to you on discord influenced you to try the game out, I am happy to see you try it out nonetheless.
I've been waiting a long time for a good cultivation game
Got excited for more Cult Simulator for a second {._.}
I love Cultivation and Wuxia. Had to admit I barely started the video before I bought it ^^;
I would love for Splat to do a small series on this game, get farther into the cultivation system
This is a good game, especially if you admire/love the Chinese culture and their fantasy stories like wuxia. I def recommend this if you do.
So I made 2 wrong assumptions right out of the gate. I thought the video title meant a strong recommendation from Splattercat, and that it was a farming game... Let's see if I misinterpreted "Simulator" as well.
I guarantee the naming was for that very reason.
your number 1 assumption seems correct.
Simulator in the sense that its more like sims, cause it doesn't actually simulate what its like to be a martial artist lol
But the systems are done really well and they simulate chinese magick systems
Wow the turtle guy is an absolute unit, the developers are clearly taking their inspiration from rimworld
Eyy finally I found a game that I like before your video xD Im not that dependent on you! :D
I saw this game a week ago but wasn't sure if I was gonna get it. So I looked it up if you played it since it seemed like a game you would play. Glad you got to play this needed to see what game play is like from some one not really sponsored by them.
Most of the game is outside of the sect/colony. The world map is where you trade, interact with other sects, take over villages and send your cultivators on adventures.
Nice start, but you didn't get to the meat of the cultivation part. You should do a series!
This is like a less complicated dwarf fortress
Splat: Raiden has one of those, and he's the coolest.
Me: He's right.
Majesty was the game where you only had indirect control through markers
I was so busy, I missed a lot of your videos. Now at least I have a lot of good stuff to watch. Your videos are the best!
I'm the same way, I first found his channel 2 or 3 weeks ago and now I find myself just random scrolling up to a year or two back, which makes it even better if I find games I want to play because since it's been so long since he's done those videos chances are the developers have continued working on the games since then and any problems that Splat had might have been ironed out.
5:27 here we can see how he briefly reincarnates into a chinese comentator.
Hey hey people Sseth here
Finally an indie game that I bought and play first before you put out a video for it.
Let me help you explain what this game is all about. Rimworld is a colony builder where the machine like efficient interconnected buildings are the meat of the game while you deal with love, hate and romantic drama of your pathetic weak mortal colonist. Amazing Cultivation Simulator is about making a GOD or GODS.
After near 100 hours in the game...it was a journey to learn how to survive, how the magical Feng Shui design system affect the qi and health of your people. Learning to farm plants, human souls, magic beast blood, alchemy books, magic skill books, books of talisman making, elixir, artifacts, book of laws, etc.
Then quite another journey to even produce rank II golden core inner disciples...then disappointment when generation 3 inner disciples lack potential. The master disciples system is important and need to be very careful to not over learn magic skill as for every 100 attainment points heaven will be jealous and send down tribulations. Variety of laws practiced by your inner disciples is the difference between success or failure of your entire sect as they could teach each other what skills are lacking and supplement each other weak points.
There are a lot of hidden danger. Inter cults politics, developing outpost to get better recruits, herbs and medicine to increase chances to get that rank 1 golden core. In map resources a just enough to start your basic structure. Your journey to godhood is very resource intensive.
Now I need to work out how to generate at least 64 spirit/souls for my primordial level inner disciples, then craft ultimate artifacts and equipments imbued with shard of their souls, unlock the ability for my cult leader to wield more than one artifacts making him the ultimate god of life and death...had not even scratched the surface of inter cult politics, trade and war. Too focused on just getting my inner disciples strong enough to survive the world outside.
From what I explained haven't even reached mid game.
According to the UI, you don't even have the kung-fu panda installed.
Kinda odd to not see a person screaming something about courting death every 15 seconds.
That other game with flags was majesty
Finally! I was waiting for this! More chinese cultivation management games plsss
It's an interesting take on the colony management, the name confuses me a little bit but everything else is really cool in fact.
Cultivation in this context is 'cultivating' your body and soul to increase your power. It is actually used the same way as cultivating the land to grow crops but applied to your spirit basically. Like if you imagine you sit at the bottom of a waterfall meditating to increase your inner calm and connect with your soul and find peace. Though it is a mythical setting so of course they kick everything up 100 levels, and people doing this gain super strength, learn to fly and cast magical spells and crazy stuff like that.
A rimjo- I mean rimworld-esque game. Wooo.
So this is how Splat became a furry, and not even a feline one as his channel name would suggest lol
I've been looking for a game in the genre with the idea of martial art sects. But I was thinking in the lines of games like 'Domina' or 'World Boxing Manager'. I have this idea of a wandering spear master whose finally ready to establish roots in a rural village that turns into a massive citadel after a few generations.
@splat if you want to get into cultivation stuff to understand it better there's heaps of novels and manga online. Reading some light novels might be too much just to understand a game but if you're interested go read some manga on it, like the Tales of Demons and Gods comic
You can put Flags down in Majesty, but you have to bounty it.
Hey SplatterCat. If you want to try and organically find out more of the game, there's one action you can take. My other review was heated, and I'm sorry for that.
If you want to try this again, do two things. Roll up characters that are Human. Do not play a Yaoguai if you're new, very bad things will happen if you start with them.
Then, find the Forming Pill you start with, and feed it to one of them using the menu when you click on it.
This feels like Rimworld for the first two weeks if you don't have anyone cultivating. The only similarity with Rimworld is the moodlet system and the top down view with graphical overlay.
Additionally, if you're stuck, click the three dots you can find over a lot of names. This brings you to a global comments section for that item. If you don't play in Chinese this is VERY useful. If you do play in Chinese it's just a place to exchange racial slurs.
Day 45 will educate you on the power level of the game. You will probably die at that point. Consider making a large room of copper and bonfires for him.
DAy 400+ is when the casual filter appears.
Interesting. It uses Chinese mythological explanations for weather events.
Hey hey people
majesty is the name of that game , cool game
Splat speaks Gamernese at 5:27
Look at all of the wuxia and xianxia fans coming out of their holes.
You are talking about Majesty and Majesty 2. With the builder that you put down flags
Oh wow, now this is a game!
Me just 50 secs in:
Yes! Exactly! Make life like this!
Cinnabar always makes me think of Land of the Lustrous.
Check out The Scroll of Taiwu as well, which is the other famous Chinese indie that came out in 2019. Chinese players always compared the two, but I prefer Taiwu. Think Rimworld + Crusader Kings in a turned-based open world. You could learn some martial arts from npcs, kill them to get your money back (no), buy/barter/craft/enhance your stuff, sell them to your local nobles for quick cash, learn poetry or chess, use those to seduce that noble's daughter, hire an assassin to get rid of her husband, watch her husband and the assassin fight each other to death, offer to treat their injuries for more cash, and most importantly, catch bugs and participate in underground bug fight rings to get rich fast. It's a really gem if you can look past the buggy English translation.
If you're into anime ; check "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" (FANREN XIU XIAN CHUAN ZHI FANREN FENG QI TIAN NAN) ... it's about cultivation of spirit & those stuff.
The music is really amazing in this game
Is this the one where you can sacrifice 15 years of one of your follower's life just so you can have a sunny day when you ascend to the next realm?
The game you forgot is majesty: fantasy kingdom ;)
