I'm obsessed with this game
I've replayed it so many times and still get something new out of it each time. The acting, the music, the story, the costumes, everything is so beautifully done. There are so many possible endings you can get and characters to explore in addition to just following the 'canon' empress path. The romance element is done really nicely, and I love the way it took inspiration from history, it's like a romance visual novel retelling of Wu Zetian's life.
If I HAD to criticise it for something, I would say there are scenes where I wished they had made the actors' makeup look less beautiful to suit the story better but this is issue is common in most C-Dramas. I also took issue with the funeral wear being black instead of the white it would have been in that time period. There was also ONE ending that I got that I felt was implausible and out of character. But truly, that is all and I am nitpicking.
It's cheap to buy and sooooo much fun to play. I promise you, if you love historical C-Dramas you will be as obsessed with this game as I am.
