This game was pretty interesting, the world and lore were cool, the character designs were fun and the combat was simple but effective. I didn't end up seeing it all the way through as it failed to keep my attention around the 15 hour mark but I'm glad I've experienced something like this as the series always intrigued me.

They should bring the rest of these over to the US. I know the first one on Sega Saturn / PC has a fan translation.

Really enjoyed this. Never really played anything like this that's rooted in Chinese Mythology. Loved the characters and art style. Music is solid.

Uma fascinante jornada
O saldo da minha experiência com Sword and Fairy: Together Forever foi bastante positivo. Apesar do gameplay que recicla muitas mecânicas já existentes e não as executa tão bem, o jogo compensa pela sua história interessante e sua experiência visual e sonora.

Apesar do plot principal se tornar previsível no meio do jogo, o desfecho dele ainda conseguiu me surpreender.

Como é o primeiro jogo da franquia que eu jogo, não tenho parâmetros para dizer se o jogo evoluiu com relação aos seus antecessores. Mas é uma interessante adição à biblioteca de jogos do Playstation, que vem se aproximando do mercado chinês já há algum tempo.

Vejo um grande potencial para a exploração da mitologia fantástica chinesa e de sua literatura. O jogo destaca a competência dos desenvolvedores em apresentar um estilo artístico tão único e bonito, sendo necessário se encontrar melhor no desenvolvimento de um gameplay e mecânicas mais polidas.

A trilha sonora até o momento é uma das melhores do ano pra mim e provavelmente vai ficar na minha cabeça por um bom tempo.

Com seus erros e acertos, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever foi uma ótima oportunidade para conhecer um jogo e a cultura de um país que até então eu não tinha experimentado com profundidade e certamente pode ser uma porta de entrada para uma cultura fascinante.

This game was definitely a passion project and I loved it for that.
Not only is the mythology and lore pretty refreshing to what you know from Western or Japanese markets, but it was also full of charm. The developers were clearly loving what they were doing, giving every place, every enemy and even the ost a description/ backstory that you can read up on in game. If you don't know anything about the different realms of deities/ demons/ ghosts etc or the magic of Tao, it might be helpful to at least read a tiny bit about that before jumping into the game, otherwise your start might be a bit rough
The characters - while not deep or complex - were really lovable with their little quirks and heartwarming interactions. (And most of them looked really cool, Kuiyu is gonna be my fashion icon for a while)
The game oozes style, in it's scene direction as well as in art direction, sadly though the presentation can look a bit stiff especially concerning the facial animations or direction of less important scenes. This is couldn't be more true for the side quests, which can be funny or entertaining, but are presented very often in a lackluster way.
The technical side of the PS4 in general suffers a bit. Loading times when changing the area or short hiccups or textures and even models taking quite long to load in at times. (I usually don't care about this, but when I notice this stuff, other people might find this unplayable)
The pacing was a bit unusual at times, having long stretches of nothing but cutscenes or long periods of different mini games and puzzles, were you might not expect it.
All in all I really enjoyed this, despite it's imperfections.

I'm definitely checking out more Chinese video games and this series in particular as apparently it's the (SEVENTH) game in the series.

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever fusiona la mitología antigua con la estética oriental tradicional, siendo lo más parecido a una puerta mágica entre dos culturas. Dicho de otra manera, la obra desarrollada por la gente de Softstar no solo se mueve entre dos continentes tan distintos como el día y la noche, sino sobre una riqueza de culturas que abre una puerta entre oriente y occidente.

Esta propuesta introduce mecánicas de combate dinámicas en tiempo real con total libertad de movimiento y unas animaciones de habilidades fluidas. Aun con todo, da una lección de cómo combinarlo con la gestión y la estrategia habitual de las batallas por turnos, distando mucho de ser un simple “machacabotones”.

En definitiva, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever se inspira en el género xianxia como pilar fundamental de la identidad cultural de China —al igual que hacen obras como El cantar de mio Cid en el contexto hispano o La saga de Erik el Rojo en Escandinavia—. Y lo hace con una desbordante imaginería visual, respondiendo a temáticas muy concretas con mensajes que invitan a la reflexión ética o a enseñanzas morales.
