Evaluation

The Scroll of Taiwu: Beyond The Dome launched as v1.0 on June 17, 2026, after years of development. On launch night, the developer (signed by "Qiezi & All Staff at ConchShip Games") explicitly framed v1.0 not as a finished product but as "a new beginning — a true starting point from which we will continue to build this world." The studio has made good on that commitment. Since launch, it has shipped a steady cadence of substantive updates: new AI interaction behaviors (June 22), UI/UX overhauls (July 7 and July 22), further gameplay tuning and fixes (August 17), and a September 3 bug fix patch. Most notably, on September 28–29, 2026 — just one day before today's assessment date — ConchShip released three new gameplay DLC simultaneously: "Pagoda of The Fallen" (free), "Tame The Divine Loong" (free, expanding the existing Five Divine Dragons system), and "Chicken Incarnation" (paid), alongside a wide-ranging patch that added new systems, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. The September 29 announcement post closes with the studio affirming they "will continue to strive to bring a more complete and more exciting" version of the game to players. All 14 DLC currently in the store are marked as released, but the developer's very recent release activity and their explicit forward-looking statement confirm that content development is actively ongoing. There is no indication the studio considers the game complete.

About this game

Overview

In the world of "The Scroll of Taiwu", you will not only play the mysterious "heir of the Taiwu clan," but also immerse yourself in the complex martial world with varying life stances — whether good, evil, or neutral.

You can visit martial sects around the world to learn a wide variety of martial arts and secret techniques; you can forge brotherhoods or become embroiled in blood feuds. You can build your own village, manage various industries, and even marry your true love, raising children and fulfilling a destined romance. All this leads up to the final confrontation with the Taiwu clan's greatest enemy, where you will decide the fate of the world!

The Unknown Jianghu

  • Every Taiwu World you create will be truly unique —

    With completely randomly generated maps, NPCs, and enemies, each playthrough will be a brand-new adventure.

  • You can learn thousands of martial arts techniques from the fifteen distinct martial sects,
    and hundreds of traditional Chinese crafts and skills from nearly any NPC you encounter.

A Fusion of Various Gameplay Elements

  • In addition to its RPG gameplay, "The Scroll of Taiwu" also blends in many other game types, such as Roguelike elements filled with random conflicts,

  • and carefully planned simulation and management mechanics: construction, gathering, expansion, management, crafting, and maintenance.

  • It also brings back childhood nostalgia with its cricket fighting gameplay — capture the most combative "General" cricket, then engage it in an "insect diplomacy" duel with the Shaolin Abbot.

"Living" NPCs

  • Thousands of NPCs, each with their own relationships and life experiences, will age, fall ill, and eventually die.

  • You can form various kinds of relationships with them, even deciding their fate.

  • You will marry and have children with your partner.

  • You will cultivate and pass down your lifelong martial arts skills to the next heir.

  • In the vast sea of people, you may even search for your lover from a past life.

Meticulous Crafting

  • Through gathering, crafting, repairing, and refining,

    you can use your own hands to forge any weapon or armor, and brew a variety of medicinal pills.

  • Pick up a poisoned weapon, wear poisoned garments, and consume antidotes laced with poison.

Authentic Martial Arts Combat

  • A unique combat system that restores the design of "countering moves," "using everything as a weapon," and "the longer the blade, the stronger the strike, the shorter the blade, the more dangerous the gap."

  • Every slash, sword strike, and palm will land on different parts of your enemy's body, creating a true-to-life combat experience.

  • Combine your martial arts techniques, channel your inner Qi strength, and refine your skills and strategy.

And there's much more, waiting for your discovery.
