The Swordsmen X: Survival

I really wanted to enjoy a Wuxia style survival game, but the Chinese players have completely ruined the game for any English speaker. With the constant use of their hacks and exploits of bugs the game is just unplayable currently. Not to mention only items are truly translated, and not even properly especially in the later stages of the game. The Chinese have an edge over everyone simply because they can read the hints on how to get items, you have to translate the game manually if you want to understand 1/4 of the game. Overall I recommend not wasting your money on this game until the translations are complete and they region lock the servers. dozens of Asian servers yet they still flood the single NA and EU servers.

First - Please note that English is not supported yet. There is an English option in the settings (second button from the bottom) on the Main Menu, but a lot is still untranslated. Once you are in Settings, go to the gameplay button, and there is a dropdown. Second - Even though this was released as a full game, it still needs a lot of work. It seems more Early Access or Alpha. I love survival RPGs and Myth of Empires, but this game is very different from MOE. It focuses more on cultivation and martial art techniques than mass warfare. So far, I have been having fun and enjoying the game! However, I enjoy figuring out things. If you want everything handed to you on a plate, this is not the game for you! It is the typical, must eat and drink survival game. After you have made an axe and pickaxe, make a skinning knife and a wooden sword or sabre. Kill two rabbits and you have enough skins for a waterskin. You can fill water skins at shores or a pulley well. If you plan on going AFK for more than 3 minutes, I'd suggest logging out because the Eat and Drink meter goes pretty quickly. NOTE: IF you press X and go into Meditation mode, it also slows down the meters. For those who did not do the tutorial or didn't complete it - F1 readies your melee weapon, F2 readies your bow, and F3 puts you into Construction mode. CTRL is the toggle for run, SHIFT is how you dash - like a dodge in combat. Building can be very tricky and definitely needs some work. However, you do have a lot more freedom in how you build. If you play PVP, I highly suggest leveling your basic artistry skills as soon as you can so that you can build a straw mat. It takes 5 minutes to do a regular disconnect from the game, and if you Force Quit, your body is still in game and can be killed. With the straw mat, you can disconnect instantly. There is no text chat in the game. If you want to communicate, it's Press to Talk - T is the key. Overall, this game is a good base with lots of potential. The new developers are active in taking feedback, etc. I hope they stick with it!

I really, really, realllly want to give this a positive review. The game is a lot of fun with friends, and it just feels really enjoyable to play. There are a lot of kinks, like bad ai, bad pathing, etc. However, at the end of the day the game has been enjoyable. However, I cannot recommend this to anyone who wants to spend money. There are rampant cheaters, pvp and pve server alike. Sat as two people spawned and despawned horses in our base on a pve server, meanwhile teleporting in and out on command. There is 0 way to report abusive behavior or cheating. There is 0 awareness of any kind of anti-cheat. PvE servers for NA and EU have groups of chinese players intentionally spending 3+ hours a day just griefing the non-chinese players. The administration and management of the community has been one of the worst gaming experiences I've had online. Until that issue is fixed, no amount of fun will overcome the poor moderation.

我真的不明白，这么好的框架，武侠氛围和动作都很棒，为什么不继续优化开发了呢？？？为什么呢，还可以加入很多东西啊，还有很多可以做的，为什么抛弃这么好的IP

This game.... is plain bad. The translation is so laughably poor that its actually way worse than anything google translate would do for free, the animations are terrible, the graphics are outdated as hell, movement and interactions are janky, tutorial and quest progress isnt tracked properly, combat is generic as hell (basically just swinging endlessly with any weapon, plus a few hotkey "special moves". Its trash. The fact that these developers actually played their own game and went "yea this is worth 40$" is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hysterical.

i play this game with a translater and it works so far but the game feeling is like i play a alpha or a realy acces game .... the game has a lot of potential I hope that updates will come by it is then also translated and also the gameplay is revised. Unfortunately a negative rating as the game is too expensive for this state in my opinion it doesn't feel like a full game and the npc run weird back and forth it all feels very unfinished.

这个开发商我记住了，后来者避坑

I actually enjoyed the game. but now i see there is no more single player and all the servers are 500 ping plus and only China side . so i assume that DEVS just don't care for the people around the world who likes they're game. So wasted cash and time

This game is NOT ready for release in NA. Translations only work on items(still wrong about 50% of the time), the "quest log" is STILL in ONLY Chinese, making usage of an external program(Google Translate via your phone) the ONLY way to even possibly get anywhere. The bugs, exploits, hackers make it near impossible to get anywhere. I am requesting a refund, and I recommend everyone else to either not purchase this game, or to also request a refund if they haven't already. This game is Pre-Alpha at best.

Played for 6 hours. i played on an NA west server. but 90% of the players i ran into were members of chinese zergs. the translation is so bad that you can't figure out how to progress in the game, while the chinese players that can actually read the quests progress at 10x your speed and invade NA servers to take them over. Also clearly some of these players have been playing for months. i found one guy that dodged or blocked every single ability and attack i threw at him, while emoting and taunting the whole time. if its a new game, everyone should be new. The game was kind of fun, until i started running into the chinese zergs camping the quest locations you need to progress in the game. I thought this one would be less zerg friendly since there are supposed to be only 10 people per guild. this is just Myth of Empires all over again, but the combat is janky and the movement feels terrible. I think of the 7 hours i played, i spent 4 hours eating food and drinking water. If you take ten steps in this game, you will be dying of thirst and hunger. 0/10 would not recommend. Unless you're chinese and you like playing in a 50 man guild.
