YiFeng Studio’s newly released farming game, Immortal Life, emerges from Early Access, offering a fresh perspective to the genre with its unique blend of Chinese fantasy martial arts and farm life.
Departing from the traditional settings of games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, Immortal Life introduces players to a captivating world inspired by Chinese wuxia fiction, where martial artists harness potent chi to master the art of farming.
The game’s narrative unfolds as a sect of martial artists, witnessing the devastation of their home school, embarks on a mission to transform the misty valley into a haven of knowledge and beauty. Drawing heavily from the aesthetics of Chinese fantasy, Immortal Life revolves around the concept of “cultivation,” where players enhance their powers and spirit to attain martial arts mastery and immortality.
In this extraordinary farming experience, players utilize their magical abilities to excel in agriculture. Planting seeds, watering crops, and harvesting with enchanted tools become an enchanting journey as your character evolves into an increasingly powerful farmer. The immersive gameplay extends beyond farming to fishing, cooking, and crafting, contributing to the cultivation of the soul. Building strong bonds with fellow martial sect members is paramount, as aiding them in overcoming challenges unlocks new items and skills.
True to its martial arts theme, Immortal Life incorporates battles against mythical creatures in the spirit world known as Mystic Realms. From underwater expanses to tundra and deserts, each realm presents unique challenges, requiring players to harness mystical skills to combat new foes and reap rich rewards.
While the 1.0 version signifies the completion of the game’s narrative, YiFeng Studio plans to roll out updates at least through March. These updates promise to introduce five new festivals, additional mystical realms, a formidable boss battle, and an enhanced version of the existing pet system.
Immortal Life awaits on Steam for $17, featuring a 20% launch discount available until January 31, 2024. Embark on this enchanting journey, where the art of farming converges with the mystique of Chinese fantasy martial arts.
