Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll is a premium simulation game for PC developed by Betobe Studio. It is a city-building adventure that combines puzzle gameplay mechanics with roguelike elements. In it, players will shape the world around them with lush placements and watch it gradually grow and expand before their eyes. 

Comparable to games like Terra Nil and Preserve, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll features a nature theme and thrusts players into a sprawling zen-like world to explore and build. It also takes inspiration from Chinese mythology for its story and distinct art style, resulting in a beautiful showcase of painting and watercolor aesthetics. 

World of brushstrokes and watercolor 

There are multiple ways to experience Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll, starting with the Exploration Mode, journey through a world inside a painting and meet physical manifestations of ancient Chinese poetry and landmarks called Aspects, each with unique stories to tell and unique abilities to grant. Discover the timeless beauty of classic Chinese art with every encounter and each hex tile that expands. 

In Creation Mode, you are given free rein to paint across a vast landscape and bring your own vision and interpretation of one of the classic masterpieces of Chinese art known as A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. There are no high scores to go after or time limits to be wary of. Just pure zen-like space you can immerse yourself in. 

For a change of pace, you can try Challenge Mode, wherein you will need to abide by specific rules as you paint and compete with other players in the global leaderboard. On a side note, be aware that Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll was made by Chinese developers and, sadly, there are still some missing translations for a few in-game elements. 

Beautiful and engaging 

To wrap things up, if you are a fan of city-building and puzzle games, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll is one worth checking out. Its multiple game modes that offer fun and unique experiences and its distinct and beautiful art style inspired by Chinese watercolor painting make for a compelling proposition. Give it a try and immerse yourself in traditional art and culture.
