The sequel to the strategy card game "Shadow Poem" developed by Cygames, "Shadow Poem: Beyond the World", has exceeded one million mark just three days after its release on June 17, and has topped the sales rankings of Apple and Steam stores.However, looking at the reviews of players from Steam, Apple App Store and Google Play Store, this game has been widely reviewed and even replaced the position of Three Kingdoms Kill in Steam - the reason is probably because of its monetization (paid) model.

Most negative comments point out that compared with the previous work, the pay-to-win elements in this work have increased significantly, and the balance of the economic system in the game is poor.Players reported that the price of card bags has increased significantly, while the rewards available for free play have decreased.At the same time, players are dissatisfied that it will take longer to build available decks without purchasing (krypton gold).Additionally, Steam users specifically mentioned that it is now necessary to hold at least three identical cards (including legendary cards) to break them down.

Although players expressed dissatisfaction with the game, SteamDB data shows that a large number of players are still actively playing the game - the historical peak online in the past three days exceeded 100,000, and as of press time, there were more than 26,000 online players.It also shows that many players still like the game content of "Beyond the World", but players are likely to hope to "blame the bad reviews" in the early stages of the game release, prompting Cygames to make some improvements to the in-game economic system.
