Together Forever is a huge step forward in almost every regard from its predecessors, featuring beautiful art styles, crisp graphics, dynamic real time combat, and excellent storytelling.
Softstar’s latest high fantasy project that focuses heavily on Chinese mythology doesn’t require you to play the previous titles in the series, but knowing where this franchise started out will allow you to appreciate this one that much more. Although this console port doesn’t add anything new story or gameplay wise, it improves heavily on the load times, optimization and technical issues that plagued the PC version, whilst bringing a multitude of new outfits and weapon skins. Sword and Fairy 7 initially launched last October on PC, but is now getting a PlayStation-exclusive port under the name Sword and Fairy: Together Forever.
The original game, which incorporated elements of wuxia and fantasy, spawned huge success in mainland China and Taiwan, and is now seeing a seventh entry in the series. You may have heard of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, a long-running media franchise that dates back to 1995. In an industry overrun by Western and Japanese role playing games, it’s nice to see some representation from China as well.
