the dev that romance would be added a long time ago and it never was. feels like a bait and switch to me. played almost 6 hours. if you really like farming sims and have nothing else to play, and don't care that relationships aren't involved, get it on sale. it's also very grindy, and only gets worse from what I've seen on youtube. was planning on playing this all the way through when they added romance, but …

“Sect Rebuild Simulator 3000” Immortal Life takes your usual cozy farming sim and says, “What if we made it magical?” Instead of lugging around a watering can, you’re straight-up casting spells on your crops. Leveling isn’t your standard grind either—you’re cultivating your way up like in a xianxia novel, and honestly, it feels great. If you’ve ever read a cultivation novel or manhua, this game will feel like home. …

Overall, a unique and mostly-good farm sim. Good: - Unique in its settings of a xianxia cultivator sect - Art is really nice, and the OST is pretty good - Main characters are enjoyable, a bit shallow but still fun and unique - Mechanics were fairly simple - Decorations for house and farm were fun to collect Bad: - The griiiind good lord the grind can get tedious unless you are scientific about what you're doing and …

Immortal Life is a richly atmospheric farming and life simulation game that blends the comfort of slow-paced rural living with the mysticism of Chinese cultivation fantasy. Set in the aftermath of a disaster that strikes the once-prosperous Guiyun Sect, you take on the role of a novice cultivator tasked with rebuilding the community, nurturing the land, and unlocking your spiritual potential. While it borrows …

I really enjoy farming games and I've played over a thousand hours combined of the Rune Factory series, Story of Seasons series, and Stardew Valley. I also enjoy games like Fantasy Life and Dragon Quest Builders where you loot / gather materials to build and craft stuff. I played Immortal Life with a keyboard and mouse so my experience may differ from controller users. I bought this game when it was on sale for 60%, …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend this game. The dev promised certain features and didn't follow through. There's no way to report the many bugs. It has the potential to be an amazing game. I was really enjoying it at the beginning until I realized how unfinished it feels. There's also an enormous grind. I really hope the dev magically appears and reads this and decides to finish this game. It really has potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played a lot of this game in early access and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn’t able to progress the story anymore once I got to a certain point (and they hadn’t added romance yet) so I decided to take a break till the game fully released. Lo and behold the game has not been updated a single time since the actual release, and they are STILL missing romance. I’m a bit confused cause it seemed like they were actually adding things and making roadmap for future updates— but it seems at this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the graphics and it's something different from the usual sims. But what disappoints me the most was that the developers went back on their word on several features, and never delivered on those promises and I'm not a fan of developers who don't deliver.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game, its art style and music are great, the concept is amazing, but the execution is lacking. This game severely needs polish. the menus are laggy on crontroller, the game is slow, the text box is slightly too close to the bottom of the screen, your character walks slightly too slow, the button mapping is super weird and not easily customized on controller. If this game gets a few more polish updates i think it would end up being great but right now i cannot recommend.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a camera/screen shake when you chop trees and cannot turn it off. So the game is automatically unplayable for me as that can extremely quickly make me sick and get headaches.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For about 80hrs I loved this game, despite it's glaring flaws:terrible google AI translation of Chinese to English, quests triggering despite not having the means to complete them, the lack of depth of NPC personalities despite this being a game centering on rebuilding a community... But overall it was a fantastic farming sim inspired by Chinese mythology and ideology, an engaging combat system, relaxing fishing and probably the best cooking minigame I've come across. Also the most fun I ever…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfinished. Janky translations. Progress is far too slow/boring. And now, despite the unfinished state of this game, they started advertising the next iteration. Nope! Nope! Nope!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite how much I loved this game while playing it on my previous Steam account last year, the game feels as if it's been ditched by the developers as a whole. From receiving almost no updates or news on the project to a multitude of promised content either being swapped out or flat out being ditched, the path this game has gone down is quite disappointing. It's unfortunate as it really does have so much potential but until things are fixed or changes are made, I'd recommend more fulfilling…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could recommend this game because there are many things about it that I do love. The art style is gorgeous, the farming mechanics solid, and I love the unique premise, but there are just too many issues for me to recommend the game in good faith. I might be able to ignore the slightly clunky controls and the fact that the characters all only have one or two lines of daily dialogue that they repeat forever, but what is really the deal breaker for me is the horrible attempt at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it a couple years ago whilst on Early Access because it looked promising, and they delivered a great game thus far. I'll first leave a bunch of things I hope they work on just in case any dev reads this, and then my opinion on the game. First off, I feel like there's a lot of "dead time" in the game, obtaining new items puts you into an unskippable animation, sure it is cool for a first time as a novelty but once you find yourself spending three times more time in animations just to buy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I genuinely love this game, but I’ve had to restart the campaign several times because the NPC Song gets stuck near the silkworms after the quest, preventing me from progressing in the story. Considering the game hasn't received an update since 2025, you can get a pretty good idea of its current state. Combined with a small community (especially compared to major cozy/farming games), I can say with certainty that this bug will never be fixed and the promised additional content will never…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cannot believe how little people don't realise how bad the settings of this game is, I cannot play with screenshake which is literally a "oh too bad the games not for you then", it hurts my head and eyes.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun game that does very well in balancing improved-quality farming with cultivation mechanics and satisfying combat. The quality feels very good until about halfway through the game, where the quality of the plot, character development, dialogue, and EN translations dip sharply. The ending feels very abrupt, and rather less wholesome and fuzzy than the team-building exercises up to it would have you expect. Overall I really enjoyed the initial characters, the interesting farming mechanics,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Farming sim with a fantasy, ancient Chinese setting. A big disaster happens and kills all the elders, leaving a bunch of noobs to rebuild the sect of Taoism (Daoism) they were just about to join with their fantasy spiritual magic. Since it would’ve been out of place for my character to have an American/English name, I gave her the name of a friend I had in college who was a Chinese international student: Linlin Shao. I miss her and I doubt she would’ve minded me borrowing her name for some…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's fun up to a certain point but it is not a game that should be considered full or even in a "final" version. It absolutely feels like an early access game with a bunch of polishing and patches to be done (not to mention content to be added). It has potential to be a really good and fun game so I will keep my review positive for now but will change to negative if there are no news or updates in the following months because I just can't recommend a game that claims to be finished when it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is basically unfinished. The late game is really just a grind with no new story or events.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a hidden gem with a few flaws. I tried it once and it didn't resonate with me but I retried it again recently and it began to intrigue me. It has much more depth than I originally thought. Pros: Beautiful graphics Lots of quests Townsfolk send you letters frequently often with gifts attached. This helps you get to know the townsfolk better. Develops slowly over time. As the story progresses more of the game opens up. I keep saying to myself "wait there is more..." Spells and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I was very unsure how to rate this game but ultimately decided to give it a negative review. Here's why. Let's start with the good things. - The game has an interesting story and the whole idea of rebuilding the sect was always engaging. - The farm's size isn't too huge, actually, it's just right for me. I'm not a fan of overy large maps, so this is a plus in my book - There is a guide which you can always review which tells you what you need to do to unlock the next quest. - Movement…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at first i had a good expectation as this is a new genre of crafting game, however the there is a lot of bugs in the game especially in the event progression like the drop for a rare seed is not dropping and so much more, now it feels like a junk
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As soon as I got to the cooking tutorial I uninstalled. The game makes you wait about 7 years before it lets you move on to the next step in the tutorial. If I press a button to acknowledge the step just move to the next step. Whoever developed this game thinks the players are brain dead toddlers that take 30 minutes to read 3 lines of text. It was just plain obnoxious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to love this game but in it's current state I feel it's not complete. One of the main reasons I bought this game was for the developing relationships you have with the npcs. Unfortunately as much as I adore this game that portion is not complete. The characters lack any substance, they say the same things over and over again with very few lines except for the gifting they give you which is a really nice feature of this game. I do not know their backgrounds or who they really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its really a mixed review, but it feels more natural to give this a thumbs down. I put alot of hours into the game, most of the time not realizing what features had been unlocked and were needed to progress because they get almost no explanation when they come up in the story. The last straw for me was getting an area where im supposed to grow a specialty item - i get some junk from an npc, no explanation, and slowly figure out some basics of how to do that by reading, rereading, and finally…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game cannot be finished, the main story line is stuck on Relapse questline:(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's always something to do in this game, and I never feel bored. It's hard to quit, because I always want to do just one more thing before I stop. Every time I think I've seen everything, the game adds another gimmick. For example, I'm 22 hours in and I've only now found out that I can keep a pet! Yet, despite having tons of tasks and things to do, this game is relaxing and stress-free. I thought this would be a simple farming game with a bit of crafting. Plant seeds, sell crops to buy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are playing with keyboard and mouse, please know that the movement is WASD and the keybinds can't be changed to use anything else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy playing this game. Pros: I like the style of the game. The little cut scenes were pretty neat. However, I have the volume turned almost all the way down, and yet the cut scenes blasted my eardrums out, which was annoying. I can use magic to summon thunderstorms and water more than one crop at a time. If you accidentally plant in the wrong season, you don't lose out completely, the quality of the plant just goes down. You aren't forced to go to bed at midnight or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has been abandoned, no updates in nearly a year, still stuck in early access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The translations are rough. The mechanics are far from precise. If you're willing to put up with not often knowing what you're agreeing to in dialogue and clicking thirty times to get one thing done, go for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Out of the dozens of farming game released each month, only Immortal Life, Dinkum, and Stardew sticks. And so far, Immortal Life surprisingly outperforms the other two. There is just so much content, and that almost everything you cultivated, fished, dropped through combat will serve a purpose, making your hard work feels meaningful. The game is not as polished in terms of its UI, font, or controller mapping, but it's much polished in terms of QoL mechanics. There is one storage system where…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good. It's well made, the characters are nice, and it's pretty easy. I just hope there was more substance in everything. There's not much challenge in the game, yet I play and enjoy it still. The mechanics keep it afloat, they work well, but I wish there was more substance, like story, like quests, like just voicelines. The characters don't have more than a couple of different lines when you talk to them outside of the quests (which is really apparent when it comes to Song and Lin), and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to love this game. It has a nice cozy relaxed farming sim feel to it. It reminds me of Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons, but with a refreshing change of scenery and a story heavy plotline. Unfortunately at the time of this review, story text is set to auto scroll at a rapid rate of speed with no option to turn off auto scrolling. This is a game breaking issue for me personally since I end up missing parts of conversations related to the story. This game feels like an early access…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →9/10 surprisingly one of the best farming game i've played if you like the chinese environement and the "cultivation" story based, and not looking for a game with too much farming but a little more combat, it's very interesting and intriguing i've spent more than 150 hours for the 100% and almost never got bored, except a bit at the end for some achievements Note that the game does have a few bugs, lots of them happening only because of the controller use. You can't change controls, so if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Farming sim mixed with cultivation? That idea alone had me hooked. Unfortunately, while I’m very satisfied with the farming side, I felt a bit let down by the cultivation aspect. Let’s start with the farming, there’s a lot I really like. Harvesting is quick, watering can be automated, and you can even plant crops outside of their usual seasons. On top of that, your character can stay awake for days without sleeping, which I count as a big plus. Of course, with the good comes the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was just okay. I feel like it lacked content and is not as polished as other cozy games I've played. It was still worth a shot though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for a simple farming sim, this is not it. I thought it would be based on farming and all other activities would just be side-activities to aid in your farming, but it's actually pretty focused on the questwork (which involves those "side activities" more often than that farming). That actual farming take a backseat, to be honest. That being said, those same activities can be fun, although it's not quite intuitive at all. The controls, especially, can be quite a headache,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept, art, and music are stellar. However, using a controller is "supported" and the keyboard and mouse controls are painful. There is no romance and characters don't seem to have much to say. There is no livestock. And by Summer, the grind was really starting to ramp up in what felt like early game. The UI is just awkward, and when combined with the terrible controls, it's just not good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since it is 40% off, once more touting my beloved #ImmortalLife if you like cozy game farming sims and/or xianxia A wonderful story, delightful companions, a focus on the domestic parts of sect life that usually happen off-screen in other xianxia stories, and so many crops to farm! Bees! Silkworms!
positive · AI labelView post →An excellent farming game with a ton to do and good progression. The mechanics are a bit clunky and the battling is basic but it's not too bad for a lower budget game. That aside, this game doesn't feel finished. They pushed towards marriage but it's not possible and dating doesn't exist either. It seems like a small thing but at least having the option is nice especially since they already added relationship mechanics. Worse yet, outside of gifts, cutscenes, and quests, the characters say the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy this game only if you like farming sim + 修仙 theme and when the game is on sale. Because the game is somewhat unfinished as certain command as empty boxes in the drop down lists when selecting choices such as splitting stacks, making purchases with certain vendors etc. I bought the game on sale and because I am keen to play a game with the 修仙 theme. If I didn't developed an interest in watching 修仙, 仙侠 dramas, I probably won't touch this game at all. I certainly don't play farming sim…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm playing this farming/adventure game Immortal Life and I think this might be the first game where the cooking system actively makes me hungry Don't know if it's the system itself or if I'm just very nostalgic about mainland Chinese cuisine.
positive · AI labelView post →A game with no forced sleep mechanic, thanks god. Cozy farming, combat, romance.. all you may like from a cozy farming game like Stardew Valley, etc. But no forced sleep and for once, it's exploring chinese culture. Never really played a game involving chinese cultural aspects so I like it. It let me learn new things on different population in the world. The art style is matching chinese culture and it's enjoyable. A cute little game where you rebuild a temple that was destroyed and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love this game but the scythe activating and making the cooking game impossible, while the cooking game can't be aborted, just robs my fun altogether. fix it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still missing content which was promised during the Early Access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not awful by any means but didn't hook me and has a flaw several of these games have, and that's the days are just too short. Doing one or two minor tasks and running around a bit is most of a day and feels like an artificial way to lengthen game time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I quit about 7-8 quests away from finishing the storyline. The problem is that it was likely going to take another 20 hours on top of the 40+ I'd already played, and I was bored. Unlike my time at sandrock, the characters weren't able to hold my attention. The cultivation aspect was unique and was interesting and unique for the first half of the game before it got stale. What is the mystery of the sect's downfall? I don't know, and probably never will because youtube doesn't seem to have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →46. Immortal Life I played a bit and really liked the farming mechanics in this game even if I wasn't a fan of the NPCs just standing around town not doing anything. I do want to play a little more to see what else it has to offer but there's just so many other farming games I want to play
neutral · AI labelView post →It looks abandoned by the developper since the last update is over a year ago, has some translation issues (aka the voice actors are only in Mandarin, and some messages when running out of stamina appear in mandarin as well). Despite those issues, it is a fun, relaxing game. Detailed pros and cons from my playtime: Warehouse and teleportation system is very nice, the gift icons in your inventory that allow at a glance to see if you have a liked gift is great. In terms of QoL, the main gripe…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can I interest anyone in a free steam key for 'Immortal Life' ? It is a cozy farm sim that I enjoyed a lot! I have a spare key. Comment below? #giveaway #cozygames #farmsim store.steampowered.com/app/1201230/...
positive · AI labelView post →It's harvest moon, but with Chinese folklore. I find it very enjoyable! However, as you get further along there isn't as many quests and there is a lot of just growing crops and improving friendship. So if you like harvest moon, I say you would like this game too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Refunded... I wanted to like this game as an Eastern-themed 3-D version of Stardew Valley. Not so. The controls are strange and I can't shake the feeling this I'm basically playing with a giant diorama. It does not really feel like a video game... too much jank.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game gave me exactly what I expected. I enjoyed the simple dialogues, the absence of forced romantic lines, and the lack of exaggerated "do-anything" features. I played and had fun. A light and relaxing farming game without any real challenges — just pure enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Guys, lets be honest here, if you are looking at this game, then most likely you love wuxia. This game is for those people, here you will find everything you see in wuxia manhuas and novels, its not so deep like tale of immortal or Heros adventure time, BUT, it is by far the most relaxing one. Here you will live the life of a cultivator who has his sect destroyed and now with the remaining sect members you now have to restore the sect to its past glory. You can grow and harvest a lot of…
