" Wandering Sword is a Chinese martial-arts RPG where you play a young swordsman caught up in a feud and nearly dies. Escaping the event puts you on the path of pursuing the highest form of martial arts and exploring the pugilistic world to become the great hero you are always destined to be."
I was so lucky and grateful that Wandering Sword fell into my lap! It's a beautiful game taking inspiration from old school jrpgs and clearly Octopath Traveler in terms of art style! The Wandering Sword demo does a great job showcasing it's core gameplay mechanics while leaving much to uncover!

    I went through that same cultural clash when I played Sword and Fairy last year. It takes time but you do start to remember names and locations. Wandering Sword looks fantastic and with the few tweaks you suggested could be a real gem.

    @@PelvicGamingI grew up watching Kung Fu films and I’ve actually trained Wing Chun Kung Fu & Jeet Kune Do for 25 years. So I’m pretty familiar with a lot of the terms. I really love that the meridian points are all real acupressure points! The “Dan Tien” or “Dantien” is a very important point for us in Kung Fu. It’s the center of your body, so it’s important for movement & balance. But it is also where we focus on storing the “Chi” or “Qi”. You meditate or so Qigong moving meditation & focus on sending your breath & energy there)

    I definitely enjoyed trying out the demo while its still available, I am interested in it a little more now that i got a chance to play it. The writing could still use some work but I'm not *too* stress about that yet since this seems to be an early demo so hopefully there will be more proofreading down the line before release.

    Just bought this. I’m REALLY enjoying it. The 2D-HD style is pretty good. It may not look as good as something made by Square but is still good. I’m a martial artist, and kung fu is one of my main styles. I also grew up watching Shaw Bros. & Jet Li films after Saturday morning cartoons in NY as a kid. And this game perfectly captures the feel of a kung fu film or Wuxia novel! The only major issue I’ve had so far is I’m not a fan of the U.I. So far I’ve liked the side quests & characters but have also heard about the serious difficulty spikes. I also had an issue with the menus. They kind of suck to go through with a controller. This game really is meant for mouse & keyboard, which is probably why I hate the menus. I’m playing on Steam Deck & looks & runs great. I’ll have to try the trackpad to see if that makes navigation little less frustrating. (Update: Still really enjoying this game! Met my first companion and the story has been awesome so far. I grew up watching Kung Fu films after Saturday morning cartoons and this feels like a Shaw Bros. JRPG! 😂 I’m having a blast!)

    Can't say it looks like anything new. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if a similar game was put next to it. At some point devs really have to make some serious revolutionary additions to turn base/tactic RPGs to truly make them stand out again. The gameplay in Death End Request should be the future of the genre in my opinion. But I feel like I've said all of this before. Anyway, this culture clash thing is normal though. It's pretty much bound to happen when read, playing, or watching media from China or Korea since so many people have similar names. There are historical reasons for this, but I'll leave that to self research. Specifically, it happened to me when I was reading a Korean manga called the breaker. I enjoyed the 300 so chapters of it, but I couldn't tell you one character's name. Not even the MC's.

    @@Rob_Thorsman I agree. But the way my life is set up, I really don't want to waste my time playing generic, repetitive, and uninspiring video games. These days I'm more into media I can learn from that inspires my creative side and mind. So the question I ask in the end is if the game is forgettable. Not based on how enjoyable it is, but if you can apply the experience to your own life in some way. It's like the difference between playing a yearly call of duty and Tales of Berseria (most impactful game in my life so far). Personally, I loved a widely disliked game like Monark because of the story themes, music, and character designs. The gameplay is quite similar to other tactics games though. Meaning it's possible for me to actually pick up a modern era turn based/tactics game. It'll just have to do something that really catches my eye. In the case of Wandering sword, I honestly don't think I could go back to playing 8bit style turnbase rpgs after how rampant they were back then. Definitely burned out on them. Something like Tales of Rebirth wouldn't be a problem though.
