This RPG deserves it's own thread.

Those amazing Chinamen have done it again: This is a good wuxia rpg with grid mapped turn-based battles. There's some mild reactivity, and several choices in the game that provide different endings. It has a skill called cultivation, but I don't know if it's considered a cultivation game - one of you Qinshihuangaboos will have to inform me.

There has already been one free DLC update and another one is coming this fall. Plus, they announced a paid Horse Armor DLC to be released in a couple of days.

I remember trying the demo. The writing is hilarious. The main character wokes up after long time in bed, takes out a cheese stick and gives it to a girl. She says 'smells so good'.

The combat wasnt good either. You can freely switch between turn based and real time with real time being the usual spam click cake walk. Also no tactics in combat at all.

If you are into this **** Id suggest checking Heros adventure. Its better imo.

You have bad taste and are not invited to my topics.

And Hero's Adventure is much more janky than this, not even in an endearing way. You must be a ***** because I couldn't understand the English translation of that one.

I fail to see the issue.

Also, devs get a pass for all the free support they've given the game post-launch. It's not the best cRPG around, not by a long shot, but at least it's pozz free and the art direction is pleasing.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

Wandering Sword is HQ. This is the game that made me give Chinese studios a fairer look, whereas previously I viewed them with an extreme amount of skepticism.

They've already released one free content expansion to the game, and are releasing yet another one for free this fall. A smaller studio releasing new content for a game that was already (IMO) complete, and for free? The DLC they do advertise is for mounts that're purely cosmetic? That's a commendable model, and not what I expected at all. If Chinese studios are looking to get into Western markets, catching more flies with honey than with vinegar is the way to do it, and they're off to a great start here.
