Players have been giving rave reviews, and the score of "Beyond Light Speed" quickly stabilized at 9.6!

The complaints from a small number of players mainly focus on the game's difficulty, believing that the combat is too difficult and that various random events are very luck-dependent. They are still relatively satisfied with the other parts of the game.

"Beyond Light Speed" has also seen a straight rise in sales. Amidst the tidal wave of positive player reviews, it sold 34,000 copies on its first day, generating a revenue of over a million!

Although this is slightly lower than the performance of "Kingdom Defense War," considering that "Beyond Light Speed" is a hardcore Roguelite game with a much higher learning curve, Wang Jian is already very satisfied with this result.

Various game review media outlets subsequently released their own scores.

"'Beyond Light Speed' is undoubtedly a small and interesting Roguelite game. The randomly generated maps and rich random events make the game full of endless possibilities. Players who love exploring the unknown will definitely be addicted to it." -- Amusement Park, Five Bananas.

"Our journey is the sea of stars." -- GCore, Heavenly.

"The game has excellent character development content. Modifying and upgrading spaceships, as well as training crew members to gain expertise, allows players to fully experience the fun and pleasure of development." -- Chushou, Seven Claws.

"The combat system is quite interesting. The available combat strategy choices in different situations are very rich. Each attack choice a player makes can lead to completely different results." -- Youqushe, 9/10.

"An outstanding spaceship simulation game that outlines a romantic and cruel space scroll." -- UGTIME, 9/10.

On the other hand, "Grand Universe: X," which was released on the same day, also performed extremely well, with first-day sales of 60,000 copies!

It must be said that the combat system in "Grand Universe: X" is indeed well-made. Both spaceship battles in space and ground mech battles are very dazzling.

Moreover, the game's soundtrack is as grand and majestic as advertised, worthy of the heavy investment in its composition.

The two games have similar scores, but "Beyond Light Speed" sold 26,000 fewer copies than "Grand Universe: X" on its first day.

It seems that the outcome has already been decided.

Wu Chi's Weibo updated with a post showing a celebratory image of "Grand Universe: X" selling 60,000 copies, along with the sentence: "So boring, are there any similar games recently? Can anyone recommend one for me to play?"

Blatant mockery!

However, before he could be proud for long, the rating of "Grand Universe: X" suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse!

Many players who had originally given five-star reviews changed their ratings to one star!

"What kind of garbage plot is this? I worked so hard to rescue the female lead all the way, and now you're telling me that this is a play directed and acted by the female lead herself?"

"Wu Chi, come out and take a beating!"

"Damn, my brothers sacrificed themselves to rescue the female lead, and I would have tolerated it, but the person we rescued is such a brainless woman?"

"This magical plot, I'm speechless."

"God, I still have to coax this kind of terrible person? And take her to space for romance? What's in the producer's head, dog屎?"

"Mouthpiece persuasion is really awkward and very illogical, I really can't accept it."

"Self-destructing your brand!"

"As an old player of the 'Grand Universe' series, I'm heartbroken! Since the previous generation, they've been adding some inexplicable things. Where's the passion of the first game? Can't they consider the players' opinions on the plot?"

Many players who were preparing to get into the game gave up their desire to buy it after seeing these negative reviews, and some players who hadn't played for long and were still within the refund protection period but hadn't reached the later parts were hesitant about whether to refund.

Along with this, many issues that weren't originally problems in the game were also brought up by players for a wild barrage of criticism!

"The spaceship's combat power in the early game is really weak. When encountering enemy ships, you can only run away and can't fight back. You have to wait until two chapters later to have the capital to fight against the trash mobs. Garbage game."

"The music is quite grand, but it's not passionate enough, and it lacks something during combat."

"Exploring different planets in 'Beyond Light Speed' gives a fresh feeling, but different planets in 'Grand Universe: X' feel about the same, and the price is more than double. I want to ask Wu Chi how he made the game?"

Wu Chi saw this comment, breathing heavily with anger, his face flushed red, almost to the point of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Does he not have any basic common sense! Only the combat scenes in 'Beyond Light Speed' are dynamic. The other scenes are static, and one scene is just one picture. 'Grand Universe: X' is fully 3D modeled. Can the workload be the same?

However, looking at the plummeting ratings and slowly increasing sales, he no longer had the mood to refute.

Players have good memories. Soon someone dug up Wu Chi's previous statement.

"Wu Chi: I don't want to denounce anything, but I want to tell these people that if you want to make something, you should treat it with sincerity."

"Hahahahaha, you used sincerity to make such a坑爹thing!"

"Your own game is so烂, how dare you criticize others for following the trend!"

"I think 'Beyond Light Speed' is much more sincere than 'Grand Universe: X'! What do you think?"

"Agreed! Agreed!"

"You used others as stepping stones, but you didn't expect this stone to be a bit硌脚!"

"So I have a question, who is destroying this genre, and who is promoting this genre?"

"I'd better go play 'Beyond Light Speed'!"

The players喷Wu Chi until he was covered in狗血, venting the extremely憋屈mood caused by the狗血plot of 'Grand Universe: X'!

Soon, under the game category on Weibo, #GrandUniverseXRatingPlummeting became a hot topic!

Wu Chi was initially angry and annoyed when he saw these comments, but as more and more negative comments appeared, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis!

He quickly convened a meeting!

It was still that conference room. White Collar, Rolex, and Black Clothes were all present. Except for Black Clothes, who was in charge of technology and seemed slightly relaxed, everyone's face looked bad.

Wu Chi's fist slammed heavily on the table with resentment. The "Evil King" spaceship model hung on a thin stand, shaking slightly, looking a bit shaky.

He panted for a while, remained silent for a moment, scanned the few people, his eyes seeming to devour them: "Buy reviews, buy online trolls,刷the ratings back up! Hire people to write good reviews! What other ideas do you have? Say them all!"

The various plans that were originally prepared to hype up the game have now been declared invalid.

Rolex's expression was gloomy: "Funds outside the plan need approval from above. With the current state of 'Grand Universe: X'…"

White Collar was very desperate: "I told you the plot was problematic…"

Wu Chi hammered the table like an angry gorilla, his voice so loud that it could be heard outside the conference room: "It's already this time, and you're still saying废话! If you thought there was a problem, why didn't you say it earlier!"

White Collar smiled bitterly: "My life is too hard…"

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Wu Chi was even more angry: "Who! Who the hell doesn't silence their phone in a meeting! Oh, it's me."

He smiled slightly awkwardly, preparing to hang up the phone, but when he saw the phone number, he immediately answered it, making a gesture of silence to everyone, his voice also much quieter: "Hello, boss, um, what's the matter…"

A dignified and cold voice came out, the undisguised anger in the voice freezing the air: "You better come to my office now to explain why 'Grand Universe: X,' which we had high hopes for, has become like this."

The phone hung up, Wu Chi dropped his arm weakly, and the others looked at him with pity.

Grand Universe: X, flop!
