Chenmo de Xishuai

Chenmo de Xishuai is about catching, raising and fighting crickets. Randomness affects how you obtain and develop crickets, events in the countryside and battles. Resources are also random, so you must decide how to allocate them. In 1v1 fights, choosing which cricket to send out matters: a weak one may lose, while a strong one may be wasted.

Catch and raise crickets

You can catch crickets yourself, buy them at the market or win them in random events. Raise them by feeding them, using insect molts as supplements or using female crickets to stimulate a king cricket. You can sort through the crickets you acquire, select the best and develop them in different ways. The game leaves open whether you can raise a cricket said to be destined to become the strongest in the world.

Catching and raising crickets includes minigames. You can use tools to search for crickets in grass, arrange dozens of insect molts for crickets to eat in turn, and compare the sizes and thicknesses of different body parts to judge which of two crickets may be stronger.

Compare their traits

No two crickets have identical attributes or appearances. Some have a broken antenna, bare tails or a missing leg. The game does not show exact attribute values, but gives approximate ranges and comparisons. You can rotate crickets 360 degrees and assess their strength from their appearance and stats; for example, longer wings indicate greater fighting spirit.

Collect cricket culture

The game includes 160 cricket species, along with cricket-culture bookmarks, cricket-fighting videos, classical poems about crickets, fellow cricket enthusiasts and general names that can be given to crickets. Hidden achievements, events and easter eggs are also available to discover.
