The value story

The value story

The lowest price on record is $20.99, set in January 2021. Across all 5 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 20 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 75 percent. Absolver ($29.99, scores 22) outscores it, and so does 下一站江湖Ⅱ ($24.99, scores 21). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

despite fact that combat is good and bad at same time because how disconnected it is and how some enemies can be perma CC'd, this game is still amazing and best wuxia game (besides WWM that released recently). It's the only real time action wuxia game (bloody spell doesn't count, because that game is a bit meme) because other is usually turn based or side scrollers. The there only two things that I don't like: 1. I...
