Well I was bored and decided to download one of those games that appear in THOSE mobile ads.
This game is very similar to others with the same style of deceiving ads I've seen, it's like an AI is following a template. I was very surprised when I found out that this game is 4 years old apparently???

So, the gameplay. You grind to boost your power level or whatever it's called in this game. Once it's high enough you can progress with the levels on the explore tab. It starts easy with the game giving you everything bit the more you advance the higher the jumps in power will be. Typical mobile stuff.
Also, typical from this kind of game: -There's a million tabs and stuff you have to do to get stronger; right now my main screen has 37 buttons.
-It has a bunch of microtransactions; almost on every screen there's an option to buy.
-It has limited item storage that you slowly upgrade.
-It has an energy resource (called food in this game).
-It shows when other players (supposedly) get rare items.
-It groups new players in a "new server" where they are ranked to each other.
-And it also has dating sim elements, that for some reason seem mandatory in this kind of game? Well it's not really fleshed out, you just collect women (and men) and in 2 days you can take them to your house.

The main "unique" thing in this game is the cultivation aspect. The game is called immortal taoists after all, so you have a bunch of attributes you can individually boost, and it uses Chinese terminology that I only know because of amazing cultivation simulator lmao.
All of that chinese alchemy stuff translates in game to just waiting. Gathering ki and getting cultivation points is automatic and even paying won't speed it that much. You wait and then use those points to boost individual attributes. You also take tons of pills to get more stats.

There really are a ton of modes and resources to grind and keep track of, and it feels like you do a lot all for a single point of attack, at least it's like that when you are on the higher realms.

Don't play this game.
If you want a grindy numbers game there's lots of games that would fulfill that itch, like cookie clicker idk.

The worst part was the amount of paid stuff that people were actually buying... if the numbers displayed in-game were correct. Crazy. Imagine spending actual money in a game like this, and you don't even get that much of an advantage if you do.
