It is one of the most anticipated games for me, and finally, publisher Spiral Up Games just announced the release date for its tactical HD-2D Wuxia-style RPG Wandering Sword. Everything is set for the 15th of September on PC via Steam, as the new trailer declares.
About Wandering Sword
The Path of Martial Arts
The game offers an immersive experience in the world of martial arts. As you navigate through the game, you can master various forms of martial arts and weapons. Your character will cultivate energy through meridian points, achieving mastery in both external and internal forms of martial prowess.
Combat Mechanics
Furthermore, the game features a unique combat system that allows players to switch between turn-based and real-time modes. This flexibility caters to different playstyles, whether you prefer the traditional, slower-paced RPGs or enjoy making quick decisions in real-time.
Building Relationships
Additionally, Wandering Sword allows you to interact with NPCs (Non-Player Characters) and even recruit some of them to join your adventures. These interactions can lead to shared martial arts techniques, weapons, and possibly even romantic relationships.
Visual and World Design
Moreover, the game is developed using Unreal Engine and employs pixel art to depict an open world filled with ancient Chinese towns, scenic mountains, picturesque rivers, and treacherous terrains.
Replayability
Lastly, the game promises high replayability with different choices, leading to various game endings. Aside from the main quest, numerous side quests add many more hours to your adventure time.
