Our take on The Valley: XuGu
Making alchemy the central activity leaves conventional combat outside the main design. The game trades battle-focused progression for ingredient combinations, refinement decisions, and a story centered on medicines and human relationships.
What is The Valley: XuGu?
The Valley: XuGu is a casual deck-building roguelike set in Wuruo, a fictional cultivation realm that combines ancient traditions with modern elements.
Its main activity is alchemy instead of fighting. Players select herbs by grade and elemental nature, then combine them into recipes and refine elixirs with different effects. Refinement choices involving symbols, talismans, spells, techniques, and rituals influence the finished pill. The narrative centers on Xugu, an alchemical sect established by a near-future cultivator in an imagined realm beyond Wuruo’s temporal and spatial boundaries. Visitors from various eras may reach Xugu, where players provide their crafted medicines to people affected by sickness or wounds.
