我的人生, phonetically transliterated as “wǒ de rénshēng” and translated in English as “My Life,” is a life simulation sprinkled with strategy elements created by the indie developer ZZ Games for PC. This casual game centers around carving one’s story through unique events and a deck of cards. 

Carve your life story 

Similar to the game Luck Be a Landlord, which utilizes roguelike and deckbuilding mechanics, 我的人生 delivers a dynamic and strategic gameplay experience full of banter, laughter, and endless possibilities. Although rendered in cute, hand-drawn 2D visuals, it explores economic and management themes that challenge one’s decision-making and resource-managing abilities. 

Pick a card per turn and let the odds do their thing to shape your life story, hopefully making in-game combos as it happens. However, the game only supports Simplified Chinese, creating a language barrier. Moreover, the overall mechanics are not intuitive, making it challenging to grasp initially. 

Life sim with deckbuilding and roguelike experience 

我的人生 offers a unique blend of life simulation, strategy, and deckbuilding, providing an engaging yet challenging experience. While the game's cute visuals and dynamic gameplay are appealing, the language barrier and steep learning curve may limit its accessibility. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing choice for strategic gamers.
