negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly some bugs are not being fixed at all. For example damage reflect being broken and reflecting near infinite damage has been around for over a year. Or your heroes using skills while no one is in range. A very good game held back by a bad localization (text areas are not big enough for english, cutting off the text). And the fact they forgot to add a whole weapon class (axes) despite having character classes relying on them. One can also notice very much how this is/was supposed to be a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game consisting of several smaller games, and if you go into it knowing that, it's certainly worth a look. It consist of a small-scale city builder, and several kinds of auto-battlers: A Bullet Heaven, a room-by-room dungeoncrawl kind of experience, and a lane fight like for MOBAs. The mix works better than it sounds, because the presence of these adventures solves an age-old problem of city builders: How to fill empty time. Many city builders have times when things are just chugging…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: If you hope to be able to play the game in English, do not buy. I hesitate to write negative reviews based on opinions. But The Lost Village is unplayable for an English speaker due to the inconsistent and poor translation. It is not just minor grammar issues - entire concepts change meaning. They said a large patch would be fixing the English early this year, but I can't imagine it was worse than it is now even if it simply had no translation. This is around nine months post…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →need better english translation, as a chinese speaker its disappointing to see its potential wasted
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update - Beat the game, as far as I can tell. Not worth. I conquered practically everything, including the end-game sects, once my Sect Leader reached Ascension I. Then it took about 10 hours for me to get enough pills to get my Sect Leader to Ascension X. That entire time was just one destroyed sect after another challenging me and feeding the flame that was my Prestige Farming Machine. This game sucks. It breaks randomly, the actual content is like playing Rimworld with one brain cell…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game uses 99% of my GPU on low quality and 60 fps. They gotta be mining bitcoin or something.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The translation to English is very poor in quality and has a severe negative impact on the experience. Its a complex game and a lot of things simply cannot be understood with this translation, specially considering the included ingame manual is very barebones, and you won't really find guides on the internet in English. The game also feels very disjointed. Instead of one good combat mode, they implemented several different ones with different rules, none of which are good, and all of which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Lost Village is a management cultivation game that throws a bit of everything at you. Imagine a mix of Vampire Survivors, Dota with an auto battler twist, and RimWorld, all wrapped up in a cultivation RPG vibe. Sounds wild, right? It is—but whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on how much patience you have. What’s Great This game keeps you busy. Like, really busy. There’s always something to do—grinding levels, tweaking stats, figuring out how to survive battles, or exploring new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ astronomically bad I alt F4'd out of the fitgurl version, bought, installed, ran, and refunded just to leave this review. If you're looking at the reviews, don't. They're bought and paid for. The devs were openly buying positive reviews on discord using DLC to bribe people. They've since back pedaled and put a notice in game that says "In the first year 3 free DLC's for everybody within the first month" Because if bribery wasn't working for you the first time... try,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A few years ago Bioware releassed Dragon Age Inquisition and the main complaint levied against that game was that it was a single player MMO. Well, this is a single player, PC mobile game. Was it not for the mediocre performance caused by Unreal Engine I'm sure this game would have been launched not on here but on the Apple and google play stores. There is no core gameplay loop. The game is just a bunch of minigames with little to no relationship regarding each other. Autobatlers like you find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game. There are some missing translations here and there, some things are actually confusing or misleading (mostly due to mistranslation) or too clicky. Yet this is the closest experience there is to Wuxia novels. You are the MC of one of those, harem included. You have direct control over every disciple . You can choose their spells, equipment, preferences, pills they consume, their training... and of course you got your own character Master. The gameplay is a mix of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to like this so much but the gameplay is way too tedious. As you advanced there are way too many things to micromanage such as crafting and pills. There needs to be some auto assign and more automation so the player can focus more on decision making and strategizing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game itself is ok. Clear bugs within the game which freezes the game making it unplayable. Couple with really meaningless money grab dlc shows that the developers really don't care.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New game, and a lot of people wonders... should I buy the game? Why you should buy the game: Dirt cheap, kinda idle, you manage your own Sect. Yes, a lot of cultivation, exploring and progress. There is honestly not a better cultivation game out there. I personally am looking for a progressive cultivation game and this has been the cheapest and well made game. Why you shouldn't buy the game: It's a mixture of several mini games, if you read other reviews you might realize people call…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a good game by a long shot. Shoddy and missing translations are just a minor irritation compared to the atrocious or just plain missing UI and QOL features (no intelligent sorting options(!), info hidden behind obscure subsections, 5 clicks for 1 thing that you have to do hundreds of times, ultraobscure game mechanics, etc etc) So yes, if you can get lost in micro management (like me, obviously), you will sink a lot of hours here and wear down your mousebutton and you sanity. Graphics are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would be better if things were translated properly like the demon run illusion. How do they leave a whole section untranslated?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The vamp survivor gameplay part is terrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is too much micromanagement and difficult to properly setup and fine tune your disciples. Also this game is buggy and has poor support from the Devs. Each time they fix one bug, they create more bugs.For example, you finally spend hours and hours to finally build your team, especially for sect wars, only for it to be invalidated when the devs drops an update. Truely crap. Do not waste your time with this game. I already did.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →scummy business practices.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy, it's for mostly Chinese people. There is also some missing translations waiting for years. Waited 1 year to play and what? somethings are still not translated!! Nice micro management but lack of explanation. Some items are nowhere to be found, you have to win tournaments and auctions but still not being able to buy important stuff is only made to make the player have some cringe attacks.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“Strong Cultivation Vibes, Weak Translation” I really like the idea behind this game. Building your own cultivation sect, becoming the sect master, and watching your disciples grow gives it strong xianxia cultivation vibes that are hard to find on Steam. There’s a lot to do, from mining and pill refining to sect wars, building academies, exploring different realms to fight in, and managing disciples. The character art is also very nice and fits the setting well. One of the more unique…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This "Game" is bad. As someone who loves Wuxia/cultivation games i immidiatly jumped on this title. From the SS's and Videos it seemed like a lite version of Amazing Cultivation Simulator, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this game is shallower then a puddle. This game is a mobile "waiting simulator", there is nothing to do here, there is no depth, like all games of this sort that are designed for mobile it limits you severly on what you do/build/achieve. the game has a ton of mechanics, which might look…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have generally avoided cultivation games, or "Wuxia" I suppose would be the proper term, as I've not understood the game mechanics nor did not want to deal with a bad translation. I am glad I gave The Lost Village a chance and strongly recommend anyone else hesitating to buy the game to give it a chance. The game is a relaxing management sim, the cultivator part, that I would equate to something of a very gentle Rimworld experience. However, there are also multiple genres rolled into one, so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chinese grind at its "best", it doesn't help that game despite its tutorial is very bad at explaining mechanics and power progressions, maybe it will be better in time, but for now it is just boring AF, definetly needs more time to cook.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit let down 4/10 The whole game just like Amazing Cultivation Simulator but worse. The battle is auto-chess, your character is not under your control. You need to keep growing your discipline because they are a lot of building and those building need people to operate. At first it can be overwhelming but each mechanic in this game is shallow. As I play this game, I keep thinking about start a new game in ACS rather than playing this one. It has nothing standout or make me excited
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fully english for first 2 hours and text starts getting messed right after that. If you know chinese then it may actually be a preetty nice game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a nice game, has 0 end game value at all. A bit grindy, but not too bad. It has no ending sooooooooooooooooooooooooo repetitive. PPl my die of boredom. Seems like to me that they have a good start of a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some good ideas but poor execution. I love cultivation universe hence why I wanted to play this. I am not a picky gamer and I can put up with lots of things here it's too much. English translation is lacking in certain area which makes the game very frustrating to understand. (For an early access I could have accepted it but not here) To add to it, the various mechanics are confusing and lack polish. The game seems like a bunch of mini-game slap together without real coherence each missing a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I decided to give The Lost Village a heavily qualified up instead of a similarly heavily qualified down. Maybe that's being generous, but there's an unusual and interesting game here, even if it has solid problems and lacks a lot of obvious polish and necessity. It's a game one can definitely get wrapped up in, and the price of entry is pretty low. I played this around release, and there were some substantial sections missing translation. Coming back to play more some not quite two years…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor optimization, massive ram leaks, stuttering.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the moment the game is not worth the investment for English users, as a huge part of the game is still in Chinese (v.1.2.5). Once this problem is resolved I will recommend the game without any doubt.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While interesting in concept this game seems horribly unstable. During last two days it has crashed on me twice in segments where you are unable to save the game, which makes it annoying as those are required for city building segments (for gaining items for gaining resources with which to buy things that are used to build things to build things). While actual base building is too rigid (you can build only one lumberyard until you research technology to figure out how to build an another…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a mixture of City Building genre and Wuxia/Xianxia fantasy genre. It runs on Unreal Engine instead of Unity, so it is prettier than Amazing Cultivation Simulator, and so far it runs smoothly on my old PC (albeit at lowest setting). No stutter, no lag, no issue even when the map is full of monsters that I kited in the Trial Towers and spells are falling everywhere. To manage your disciples, you just need to post the job in your "town centre" and the disciple will action it in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like an addictive cultivation mobile game - but all the pay to win features are removed It's good It has 3 core gameplay elements - manage village (city builder with a tech tree) - 'Vampire survivors' type gameplay - kill mobs - upgrade abilities - Auto battler dungeons which requires some input in choosing cards The game still needs a fair amount of developing but it's easily worth the price in my opinion Some things really are quite poorly implemented - but theres…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a gem of a game! It's an idle game that you can also play very actively. The translation to English is 90% done, and the last 10% can be figured out based on context clues and having done the same thing before where it was already translated. DO NOT let the translation turn you away, as most of this game can be taught with pictograms.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a mobile game, it's poorly translated, and after forty minutes I still have no clue what systems do what.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While understanding something about cultivating helps, it is not required. Where it does help, is to get caught up in the game, Knowing which pills to work on first things to aim for ect.. The good things about the game are - 1 Lots of things to do, 2 No required order 3 Tutorial simply rewards for what you will do anyway. 4 Open world and free form game play. 5 Stable game play, save and loading smooth. The "bad" things 1 No difficulty setting 2 Some items are very hard to obtain, or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple cultivation sect building game. could use more translation work and deeper end game content but i appreciates its simplicity and easy going ways
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hi all. Well i like not similar games and this is one of them. i liked the graphics, the fighting\battle way. but very hard for me to understand how make my heroes stronger and city build very confusing. The guid that should take you through this make me stuck on missing some resource that have no idea how to get it. Some text still in chinese. This is the reason why i stoped playing the game. ***My suggestion what need in game : 1 - Translate all to ENG 2 - Give some deeper understanding of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Amazing graphics - Good Soundtrack - Entertaining mix of city builder, rpg and autobattle Cons: - not fully translated - a struggle to understand how to power up in certain areas
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mobile type of game and messy tutorial :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't play games that ask me if I'm trans.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the same repetitive game of killing monsters to obtain resources is not as good as a skin-changing game of hunting crayfish. The game is bad: 53 points out of 100 1: The necessary materials can only be obtained by repeatedly beating the Fairy and Demon Crayfish without changing their skins. A game can take as little as five points and as many as ten minutes. 2. If you can endure dozens of hours of boring dungeon grinding and continue to defeat all other sects in the world after the sect is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A series of meaningless minigames gated behind an idle city manager.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is not my style, only bought it to support the developers, since i love eastern era, hope to see more updates in the future :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ATTENTION TO ALL!📢 At 8pm EST I'm going live on Twitch. Ghosts walk the halls and streets of The Lost Village. Only my Camera Obscura can destroy them as I'll be playing more FATAL FRAME 2: CRIMSON BUTTERFLY REMAKE! www.twitch.tv/dj_cyber_the...
unlabelledView post →good game, but you will need basic knowledge about cultivation and base building game or your brain will become overloading, once thing it seem better than other cultivation game is that you can make your sect's members live forever with pill i guess. Game ổn, nhưng chỉ phù hợp với những ai hiểu về thể loại tiên hiệp và biết chơi game chiến thuật quản lý xây dựng. khuyến khích nên cài mod việt hóa khi chơi nếu không biết tiếng Trung vì bản dịch tiếng anh cũng khá kém hiệu quả dù có kinh nghiệm…

My only issue with this game (and many other reviews mention this as well) is that 10-20% of the text remains untranslated, so you may need to snip it and use Google…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes!!, I been waiting for this type of game, i didnt even know this type of game was out, you need some ads to showcase this game, thanksyou so much for developing the game!!, you have my full support!, hopefully there be a graphic update to the game, if you like cultivation/martial art and base building this is the game for you, building up your own sect, so far 8/10 (graphic not the best)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible localization. Cant understand what the game wants from me because all descriptions are in chinese language.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thought it was going to be like there other game The Leviathan fantasy where its basically a neat auto battler, but in this one you kinda have to control them in such a janky manner.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my game is stuck in Chinese and cant change to english
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually don't write reviews, but this is actually necessary. The game is NOT PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH. Also THE PERFORMANCE SUCKS. Overall, the game has a lot of potential. I was having fun in the beginning, even though it lagged a lot. But after 2 crashes, and then several full interfaces completely in Chinese, I just gave up and returned the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not sure if this is a great game or just weaponized form of addiction crack. Infinite xp grind ? check Random loot ? check Base building ? check Economy ? check ( kinda) Large world ? check Waifu /husbando collecting ? check Pet raising ? check Autobattler / micro moba ? Check Rogue lite battle game with bazillion skills ? check. Unlockable stuff for future runs ? Check Grind ? near unlimited. Duration of single game ? Insane.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Switch 2 patch for Fatal Frame 2 remake definitely resolves most of the issues I had with the game. Time to explore the Lost Village.
unlabelledView post →A fun cultivation game. Not as convoluted or confusing as Amazing Cultivation Simulator. Simpler than Rimworld, but still entertaining if you're in the mood for Chinese mythology. It's casual enough to enjoy for an hour or two a day. I like the variety of things to do, from the looping dungeons to the Vampire Survivors-like missions. Sect building is easy, and the sect battles are neat little breaks from the normal pace. Not amazing, but easily worth the price if you have a cultivation colony…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple cultivation based games. It's okay. The aesthetics is great though. I do find myself come back to play it again after sometimes has passed.
