Why man creates

I have to qualify my judgment about the faithfulness of the game play with "seems to be" because the interface is 100% Chinese. It appears that there is an English interface available for the same game in Apple's iOS store. But for Android users, you are expected to buckle down and learn Chinese.

So I did.

Not really. I used Google Translate and it's ability to semi-recognize hand drawn Chinese characters. I have usable notes about a sizable fraction of the interface.

There are also many cases where Google Translate left me scratching my head trying to figure out what they really meant. In particular, I decided to forego figuring out what most of the names of the other players should actually be, and left them with the direct results of Google Translate on Player Name Table.
