And finally, one of my favorite games of all time. Made by the same developer as Jin Yong's, this 2001 game also deviated from standard RPG fair by adding a sims gameplay element to it. People have compared its gameplay with that of Koei's Taikō Risshiden series. Unlike most RPGs released around its time that used 3D model images for their maps, Wulin's maps were entirely hand-drawn. The battle system followed Jin Yong's, but was even more simplified. The emphasis of the game became centered around the sims portion of the gameplay, and the goal of the game was simple: to become the strongest martial artist in China. The game allowed multiple levels of moral choices that would let the game end up in one of 3 major endings, each with its own variations depending on the feats of the player throughout the game.
The player cannot die in this game. If you lose a battle, it becomes part of the storyline, and you would only be injured and have to rest for a few days in sims mode, but the story of the game continues. There are a variety of mini-games that are pretty much forced onto the player, as there is no leveling up in this game, and the player can only enhance his attributes by playing the various mini-games, select training options in sims mode, and by actually participating in battles. Each time the player does any one of these activities his attributes would go up a bit, but there is never a sudden change as a level up.
The biggest draw of the game for me was actually its emphasis on traditional Chinese cultures. There are so much information in the game about a variety of Chinese subjects from herbal medicine to sumi-e art. Not saying that the game is edutainment or something, but I did learn a lot from the game that really helped me to appreciate more of Chinese culture. The game just flows really nicely in balancing the mini-games, RPG mode, and sims mode. If the player gets particularly good with a certain skill (i.e. gardening or hunting), the player can even get a special title. And this title can be different depending on the player's morality in the game.
The PS5 Exists.
