Wandering Sword is a Wuxia-style pixel RPG. Play as a young man from Liao City in the Outer Lands who is accidentally drawn into a feud between two rival sects. Being in the wrong place at a wrong time results in getting poisoned with the lethal Frozen Toad. However, you are fortunate enough to have Qingxu, Sect Leader of Wudang, come to your aid and save your life. This is your turning point: the moment you decide to become a great warrior and enter the land of the Central Plains.

Runs well on modern hardware.

At looooong last, [u]a wuxia game that satisfies my eternal passion for the wuxia genre[/u] like none of wuxia games in the past do. Let me elaborate, you can’t make a wuxia game by just creating a RPG game that does fighting, level up, and spend skill points on some ‘martial arts’ skill tree. Actually you can but you won’t feel immersed in wuxia lore. Why? Because in the wuxia genre the protagonist doesn’t become legendary the way protagonists in Diablo or Path of Exile do. Wandering Sword shows the players how a wuxia game should be. Real-combat experience. Meet an elusive top master. Learn from lost scripture and cave walls. Go training in seclusion knowing the risk. Discussing philosophy behind a martial art moves. Ahhh… this is wuxia alright. Not to mention top-notch plot writing, Wandering Sword will definitely give you a [i]blow[/i]. And you should definitely give it a try. p.s. Now is about time to start my 3rd playthrough.
终于打完第一周目,万分推荐,十分欣喜,千分庆幸。 我十分推崇这里的任务设计,明桩暗桩交织 - 让我舔图到无法自拔。 人物给10分,女角都非常养眼,有特点(有料) 。 剧情给9分,没有完整体验所以剧情,但是环环相套,步步递进,非常引人入胜 - 玩起来根本停不下来。没给的那一分其实比较主观,主线非常王道,各种神功护体,顺利变成天下第一。 战斗给8分,后期人物光环绕身,气场满点,让画面有点乱。而且像素风可以有效勾起怀旧情结,但是也造成人物动作不够生动。但是要说的是,整体技能特效运镜都属上乘,一招一式轻重缓急也可以体验到。 总体9.9/10 - 我很庆幸自己在休息的时候遇到了这个游戏,让我沉思良久 - 想念这段让我感动的旅行。
Fantastic wuxia/cultivation game. Not many on the market with decent English translation.
