Super popular pixel RPG set in the world of Chinese martial arts ported to Switch version as well! Different languages like Japanese voice or Chinese voice can be selected with 1 software, Wandering Sword containing DLC release decided!

If you were to jump into the ancient Chinese martial arts world and aim to become the strongest swordsman, what kind of adventure do you think would be waiting? What stirs up such imaginations is the pixel art RPG “Wandering Sword” set in the world of Wuxia. The story opens its curtain from a shocking event where a young swordsman caught up in conflict suffers fatal severe injuries. The protagonist who managed to overcome the mortal crisis departs on a journey aiming for the highest peak of martial arts. However, that path is by no means flat. Traveling through a vast world and confronting various events, you weave your own heroic legend. What kind of fate will a young man who took a sword trace? Savoring feelings like becoming a protagonist of Wuxia novels, grand adventures are waiting.

What particularly catches the eye in “Wandering Sword” is fantastic landscapes expressed by delicate pixel art. Hearing dot art, there will also be many people who call traditional retro games to mind. However, what this work depicts is a beautiful Eastern world that cannot be described by nostalgia alone. Unique atmospheres motived after ancient China are vividly expressed by detailed visuals. Because the subject matter of Wuxia itself is not handled that frequently in Japanese games, being able to adventure with fresh feelings is also a charm. Not to mention enjoying grand stories, immersing in worldviews while gazing at scenery met at travel destinations seems interesting as well.

“If I had made a different choice at that time...” Being able to experience such thoughts inside games is also a major feature of this work. As many as 20 types of endings are prepared for the main scenario, and stories branch greatly depending on player decisions. In other words, even starting the same adventure, you arrive at different endings depending on chosen paths. Furthermore, not only main stories, but numerous side quests are recorded as well. Chasing missions as heroes, or cherishing relationships with people met along journeys? Exploring worlds freely, there seems to be funs finding your own ways of living. Not ending with clearing once, it can be said to be a work making you want to try different choices.

In battle systems as well, ingenuity slightly different from other RPGs is incorporated. Battles expand on tiled boards, mechanisms freely switchable between turn-based command battles and real-time battles. For people who want to fight devising strategies thoroughly, turn-based advancing while thinking about enemy movements and positional relationships is recommended. On the other hand, if wanting to enjoy battles with quick judgments, real-time formats would be perfect. Furthermore, colorful weapons and sects appear, and being able to master respective martial arts cannot be missed either. Processes repeating training to polish skills and building up your own battle styles are precisely journeys aiming for martial arts masters themselves. It is a charming system where both strategic nature and exhilarating sensations can be savored.

To enjoy grand Wuxia stories more deeply, the point where Japanese and Chinese voices are newly recorded is also notable. Feeling characters' emotions closely with Japanese voice is good, and enjoying atmospheres unique to the East with Chinese voice is good too. Being able to have ways of enjoying tailored to preferences is pleasing, isn't it? Furthermore, Japanese subtitles and Korean subtitles are newly recorded as well, improving playability in language aspects too. Because tensions and emotions of stories can be savored through characters' voices and words, it has become a charming element even for story-oriented players.

In this work, DLC released on other model versions is recorded in the main part as well. Recorded contents are “The Way of the Blue Sea” and “Mount Pack: Supreme Steed”. Being able to enjoy up to additional contents would be pleasing points for people starting adventures from now on. Stories branching into 20 ways, colorful side quests, profound martial arts training, and beautiful pixel art. If this much element is packed, you come to want to sit down and play thoroughly, don't you? “Wandering Sword” is a work wanting attention paid not only by people who like worldviews of ancient China, but by people seeking RPGs with high degrees of freedom or strategic battles. Come, carrying a single sword, why not start your own heroic legend?
