English not supported. Perhaps sometime in the future the dev can start with an English Interface translation (Easiest and least expensive). If a fan base develops and increases, perhaps English Subtitles can be added (Most difficult and most expensive). See my explanation about translation. Quick-Skipping on water (Without sinking), walking sideways on walls (Without falling), "gliding" in mid-air (Without a glider), fierce, dramatic gameplay action sequences involving swords and|or spears, lush, highly detailed background scenery all coupled with a dramatic, heart felt, background Chinese Rock soundtrack full of deep emotions, fans of traditional Chinese martial arts folk-lore movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" starring famous action stars Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh, would enjoy this game! Watch the promo videos in this game's Steam page for the full preview experience (The two screenshots here do not do the game enough justice. According to the second promo video, some of the fighting gameplay sequences are Rotoscoped from footage of the moves of an actual martial arts master)!
This is probably the very first non-English supported action, RPG, adventure game that I'd like to see fully translated by professional linguists or even by fans!
For those who are interested, you can follow the progress of Steam user "Pineapple_God_D"'s post that asks for an English translation of this game in this game's Steam Discussions pages. Also, those who are into "Wuxia" games would appreciate this GameRant gaming article.
Good riddance to Elden Ring. Say hello to "Ancient Ming"! 😄 I mean, now that the thread is dedicated to promoting racism, why not do my part? Right?
On the real though, I watched a bit of gameplay from this and graphically, it looked aggressively AA. Nothing significant really; to my eyes at least. Gameplay-wise however, it looks recognizably indie. It has all of that sweet East-Asian indie jank that we all know and love. Like, character pop-ins, abrupt animation canceling, etc.
I can understand why it might be popular in China, for cultural relevance obviously.
The horse animation is still a lot better than that of The Rise of Ronin, I tell you that 😅
No, my friend, this thread is not dedicated to promoting racism. It's just been infected with a few fμcking idiots who are trying to promote their own racist views though.
Also, I'm not sure by what you mean when you wrote "... aggressively AA". Did you mean Anti-Aliasing? As for everything else that you described, well that just probably means that the game needs some fixing and polishing up before it can be fully released to a World-wide audience of players. For all we know, there may only be one or two devs working hard behind the scenes (We know from one of the promo videos that there was at least one professional singer that worked on the background soundtrack), so for all that already has been released thus far, it's a lot. So, give them some credit.
Yeah, about the racism, I intentionally joked around it and didn't engage in that discussion. No point in armchair arguments. And we should remind ourselves that the phrase "racism against group A is bad, but racism against group B is justified" is still racism 😄
Putting that aside (hopefully for good), my apologies for using vague terminology. By "AA" I meant a game between indie (A) and high production (AAA). If what you expressed is the case, and they are just a small team, then they've done a decent job. For a very small team, it looks good, great even.
However, as some Steam reviews object, the game is not in Early Access. So for all we know this could be considered the final product.
But to be fair, I know very little of how game development in China goes and how they usually operate.
"Yeah, about the racism, ... we should remind ourselves that the phrase "racism against group A is bad, but racism against group B is justified" is still racism." That's all well said, my friend! This game is a "final" (stage) release product but as far as newly released software goes, there will always be "Room to grow" IF the dev(s) care enough to listen to the players' requests. If so then hopefully there will be updates which will include bug fixes and enhancements like a full English translation (Yes, please!), improvement in graphics, ... etc. Maybe even future support for nVidia DLSS and|or AMD FSR (For players that have a high-end graphics card) depending upon whatever kinds of graphics improvements(?) that may be added later on. Only time will tell what happens with this game. Well, China is not the only base for "Chinese development" - There are also Chinese developers living in Taiwan, ROC. Historically, hardware components from Taiwan are better made than their counterparts in China (eg. - ASUS has risen to become a premier Taiwanese brand sold in the US with high quality parts like motherboards, graphics cards, 80 plus PSUs, ... etc that are sought after by OEM or DIY system builders. They also make higher quality consumer products like gaming monitors with 1ms response times. All of those cost more than their Chinese generic counterparts but they're worth the extra cost in the long run as the they tend to last longer. Of course, if a person can't afford the extra cost then there's always the less expensive, Chinese generic counterparts to go with). Hopefully the same higher quality engineering also applies to games (Chinese or otherwise) made in Taiwan (No, I'm not from Taiwan but from personal experience [I build my own machines from the mobo up and outwards to picking the computer case for optimal air flow and looks], I do admire the better quality of products made there compared to those made in China which do cost less but usually don't last as long. Like it's been said before, "You get what you pay for" - Not withstanding what we all do here with all the downloading but I think that you know what I mean)!

Backstroke of the West is actually BETTER, then Revenge of the Sith.
It give you the opportunity to PERCEIEVE, what you are experiencing.
Regardless of the words. Its Zen.
Thanks in advance!
