Critic Reviews8
This is a game that is gathering laurels in its homeland. In our country, however, it mostly raises eyebrows, so it will please especially those who are into some cute bizarreness.

In a world where we are still lacking a proper translation for the original The Legend of Sword and Fairy, among other classic Chinese games, it's hard to not applaud a fresh release for these otherwise unknown and inaccessible titles. I can't imagine that the demand for a fresh release of Xuan Yuan Sword was particularly great in the English-speaking world, but it's release here is valuable for simple archival reasons. It's also a great buy if you're craving a classic JRPG that was previously unavailable to anyone who couldn't read Mandarin.

Not so much a blast as a puff of air from the past. Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains' age can't excuse its frustrating gameplay and shoddy writing. The re-release comes complete with awful translation just to seal its fate.
