There are things that you need to be critical of in Sword and Fairy: Together Forever. The game hasn’t been made to the same precision as the upper echelons of RPGs out of Japan and the West, and that is undeniable. But then Together Forever has the singular advantage of being one of the few Chinese RPGs that we get to play, and that makes it distinctive, different, and worthy on its own merits. Add in incredible art direction (oh how I love Yue), and a gorgeous combat system, and we’ve got perhaps the most interesting RPG of 2022 here. I really hope people don’t overlook it.
Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is a gorgeous and engaging Chinese high fantasy role-playing game that deserves more attention from the West. Localization and technical optimizations have been implemented since the game’s original release on PC, making this console port the best way to experience this game. The vast number of cutscenes and depth of lore may be off-putting for some, but those willing to give this title a chance will not be disappointed. Sword and Fairy is a game that should be viewed through its own lens, without the comparisons to Japanese role playing games, and only so will this franchise truly be appreciated.

I truly hope that Sword and Fairy: Together Forever finally releasing on consoles gives the series the boost it needs towards more widespread recognition globally. It’s a fantastic title with some of the deepest lore to grace the genre in a while, which also manages to back up its compelling narrative with combat that is a joy to engage with. In a summer that has sorely been lacking in epic RPGs for genre enthusiasts to get stuck into, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever not only helps fill that void but does so with a level of style and heart that begs to be experienced.
We have some criticism on Sword and Fairy: Together Forever and in it's current state still needs some patches. But the truth is we were hooked while playing, because there's also a lot to love here. It has the potential and charm of the biggest roleplaying games mixed with a unique setting and characters.
Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is a linear, cutscene heavy RPG so people's mileage may vary. I enjoyed the story and characters despite the clumsy translation and the action combat is decent if unremarkable. Importantly it runs well, with only the odd hiccup, which after the last game wasn't a given.
A new beginning for the saga, which despite its imperfection, is enjoyable until the end.
Sword and Fairy: Together Forever looks pretty and has some fun moments, but constant cutscenes and a poor translation make it hard to recommend.
If you’re a dounghua or Wuxia fan then this game is for you . One of the best and most unique experience I’ve had In years . Buy it don’t ask questions . It’s that good ! Anyone who disagrees don’t understand the magnitude of how incredible it is for fans of wuxia shows .

I have to say this is a really beautiful game, I heard it's a PC port one, but I never played on PC before, it runs well on PS5, and good price, good graphics.

Este juego ha pasado desepersibido, pero es un buen juego, con una estetica mediaval japones, se ve muy bien y los combates en tiempo real, son fluidos y los efectos de las magias se ven increibles.
Tambien destaco un nivel artistico con unos bellos esenarios y llenos de detalles.
Algo interesante es que se puede intercambiar entre personajes en pleno combate

There is potential with this series, but it falls short at times. Visually, Sword and Fairy looks very nice, and I love the focus of the story using Chinese mythology. The cast is filled with mostly likeable characters. The combat is fine for the most part, with some occasional jankiness. Playing it on the PS5 helps a lot with some noticeable performance issues on the PS4 (including delayed dialogue and sound effects), but there are a lot of loading screens that can ruin the emersion. And, as many others have stated, the translation is not perfect, leading to some weird dialogue or weird sentence structures. This game is not outright terrible, and at the right price, it can be seen as a hidden gem with potential. However, there are noticeably better games both in the genre, and on even older consoles.

The foundation for a great game is there. It might be a disconnect between regions, but it felt like this game was trying to do something else than it should have. I feel like it was trying to more teach us of culture than let us play a game.
Pros
-Graphically stunning
-Beautiful music
-Likeable cast
-Some pretty fun boss battles
-Accessibility
Cons
-Lots of extremely long cutscenes
-Combat was fun, but often felt weightless -A number of translation issues
-Felt like a visual novel game that happened to have combat
-Shallow sidequests
