Here, we will provide an evaluation of the World of Immortal Sword, discussing its gameplay features, examining its specific gameplay types, and highlighting what makes it appealing. Before you can experience this game officially, you can get a general understanding of it.

Basic Gameplay:

This is an excellent Xianxia game that integrates its world and gameplay very well, and it is also friendly to ordinary players who do not spend much or any money. In terms of gameplay, the World of Immortal Sword is an Immortal Sword IP game that includes an open world and pet cultivation. It focuses on single-player exploration with multiplayer elements as secondary, exploring large maps and scavenging for items.

In battles, four characters can be switched in real-time, and extreme dodging can avoid damage. There are elemental settings from the Immortal Sword IP, including wind, fire, water, thunder, and earth attributes that can trigger chain reactions. The classic spirit summoning feature of Immortal Sword has been turned into a pet collection and cultivation system. Various pets can join the player's team, so prioritize cultivating pets with higher potential while lower ones can work in the garden. For collectors, the goal would be to gather all the spirits.

Story Setting:

The story retains many original elements from Immortal Sword, such as the main plot being set between Immortal Sword 2 and Immortal Sword 5, in the year 33 of the Immortal Sword calendar. A sudden pact causes the world to end and undergoes a time loop, where players, as heroes, are accidentally involved, meeting classic characters like Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, and Lin Yueru, experiencing numerous challenges together to ultimately change the world.

It also adds some original plots that fit the Immortal Sword style, such as Bai Cang's storyline. She founded Guiyun Village and bravely stood up during an unprecedented disaster, sacrificing her life to protect the village and villagers, making her one of the distinct and realistic characters.

The most classic and memorable "Flying Sword" feature is also restored in the game, allowing players to soar through the skies and explore various maps. The entire map is closely related to Immortal Sword, such as the Spirit Island where Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er first met. If old fans want to revisit classic stories, the World of Immortal Sword is definitely worth trying.

Additionally, there is a setting called "Cave Heaven" in the large world exploration, which looks like an ordinary pillar from the outside but reveals a door when activated. Inside, players can find various small mechanisms, greatly enhancing the exploration experience.

Pricing Model:

Many people associate Xianxia-themed games with MMORPGs, different modes appeal to different audiences, but this type of open-world gacha game is quite rare, and it is the first time the Immortal Sword IP has attempted this genre, similar to the pay-to-play model of mobile games. The guaranteed draw rate is 80 pulls, offering good value for money. Players can accumulate resources to obtain desired characters, and if lucky, they can save resources for future new characters, which is friendlier to non-paying or micro-paying players.

The game also features a trading system where prices are not restricted, and players can set up stalls, making it friendly to ordinary players. The World of Immortal Sword emphasizes single-player experiences but also provides multiplayer and social functions, allowing players to team up for dungeons, join guilds, etc. Daily dungeon runs consume triple stamina but offer triple rewards, catering to players who don't have much time to grind. They can clear daily tasks in just a few minutes online, gradually accumulating resources for future card pools.

This concludes our evaluation of the World of Immortal Sword. The game has many highlights and attractive features. If you're a long-time fan of the IP, you won't miss the essence of Immortal Sword. If you're tired of traditional Xianxia martial arts MMORPGs, the combination of large world exploration and pet cultivation will likely appeal to you.
