Cultivation Realm: Card Survival is a cultivation survival game built around card-based interactions. Trapped in a mysterious realm that drains your lifespan but brims with spirit power, you must cultivate, survive, fight, and find a way to escape.
Explore different areas, including lakeside plains, dense forests, scorching deserts, and volcanic lands. Each area has its own Five Elements attributes, resources, and harsh weather conditions.
Built around card-based interactions, the game lets you use resources such as Wooden Sticks and Stone to craft tools and buildings. Gather Mushrooms, Clams, Citrus, and other ingredients to cook meals and unlock more recipes. You can also collect spirit herb seeds and cultivate your own Spiritfield.
The outside world has long been depleted of Spirit Power, while the Illusion Realm is rich with it, greatly increasing the speed of cultivation. Train here, and you may even break through to the realm of a mighty cultivator. Meditate to cultivate, study cultivation manuals to learn new Arts, and once you break through to a higher realm, you will no longer need food or rest. Refine pills and weapons to strengthen yourself, then slay Heart Demons and demonic beasts.
In the Illusion Realm, every item affects the Five Elements. The Five Elements, in turn, influence a cultivator’s Spiritual Root. To break through to the next realm, cultivators must meet the required Five Elements conditions and practice the corresponding Arts.
A realistic survival system built around a mortal’s path to cultivation. You must manage mortal needs such as Wellness, Hunger, Stamina, and Sleep, while also keeping a close eye on cultivation-related attributes like Mood, Spirit Qi, and lifespan. If negative states persist for too long, Heart Demons may invade, and your path to cultivation may come to an end.
Resources in each area are not endless. As time passes and you continue exploring, resource yields will dynamically change. If you fish too often by the lakeside, you will need to wait for the fish to reproduce. Old Gourds may dwindle from near extinction to complete disappearance. Plan your resources as carefully as possible.
Survival pressure comes not only from your own condition, but also from the demonic beasts that arrive with the Blood Moon. Gather resources, refine Pills and Artifacts, and keep cultivating to survive in the Illusion Realm.
The game features hundreds of cards for Tools, Buildings, Cooking, and Equip, divided into Outer Sect Tools and Celestial Crafting Artifacts. Together, they cover the items you need for both survival and cultivation. You can also experiment with using and combining different cards. For example, Stone can be sharpened against a Boulder to create a Stoneblade, or combined with Wood to build a Campfire.
