Fable of the Sword reviews

Fable of the Sword 《 劍起風雲之鳳凰劫 》 is a short but captivating Wuxia (武俠) adventure packaged as a Visual Novel. This Game really surprised me as I was only used to bad Titles by the Publisher SakuraGame until now. So I first waited for a Sale where I bought Fable of the Sword for €0.99. Now, however, in Hindsight, I would also have bought it at the Original Price of €1.99. Briefly on the Story Our Protagonist Lin (林朔) is Taoist and Follower of an Orthodox Sect named Mt. Jade. Along with Yuu (安陵月), he heads to Tanglin City. Along The way, the pair meet young hunter Seven/Steve (阿七), who is haunted by Demons. After expelling the Demons, Lin and Yuu continue their Journey. At the Finish, she Achieves a Rumor of a legendary Sword, which is thought to be in a Mountain nearby and which possesses the immense Power of a Phoenix. The Rumors of the Sword's Existence have caught the Attention of both unorthodox And Orthodox Sects, which are now coming to "White Emperor City" in Droves. Are they Also behind the increased attacks of Demons on Humans? And what do the distant Yuun (楼云) and the mysterious Bai Yeh Have to do with the whole Event? Graphic The CGs, Backgrounds, Sprites and Character Portraits are lovingly designed and varied. However, there are slight Differences in quality. Sound The Game offers a nice Soundtrack and very good Speakers, but in case of Failure to Be regulated individually in the Options. Almost every Character is set to music and all but two Reels have very good Audio quality. Translation The Translation is not the yellow from the Egg, but it is much better than in previous Titles published by SakuraGame. In addition to the usual Problems of literally translated Phrases, forgotten articles and swapped Pronouns, there are also Things that are simply renamed in between. Seven is suddenly called Steve and the Nimbusse from the 3-Match Mini-game Are also constantly renamed. Unfortunately, the Game has not been completely adapted to the English Text, so the Line Break is simply made in the middle of Words. Also slips from time to time the Text from the next Character into the current Dialogue and the Font Also changes occasionally. Despite the Aforementioned problems, however, one can follow the Story well and read the Dialogues Fluently. :) Gameplay In Addition to the many Decisions that occur especially in The first Part of the Game, Winning or Losing the Mini-games also influence the Story. Every Time Our Protagonist fights, this Fight is depicted with a Mini-game. There are three Types of Mini-games: 3-Match, Troubleshooting and Memory The Menu is simple and clear. I Particularly like the Characters ' Relationship Ad. Via a Heart Symbol you come to a Side with black and white Sprites of the four Main Characters, which then get more And more color With correct Game decisions. Let Me do something Different about the otherwise boring Percentage Ads. It is Also positive that the Game gives Memory recommendations before the Mini-games. However, these are sometimes poorly worded or there is simply "save game." Please always save over the menu And do not click directly on the "save game." Otherwise, the Mini-game will start directly. The Chinese Version of Fable of the Sword also has many more Features. For example, a Soundtrack Gallery and short Chibi style Cartoons that you unlock by Reaching the perfect Ends. P.S.: For those who wonder if this is a Game with BL Elements, I can say that while you can interpret something into individual Dialogues and the Ends, the Focus is definitely on the Plot. = This Game is a Fantasy Visual Novel with a little Bromance. I hope there are irgentwhen Steam Cards and Achievements for this beautiful Game:)
