    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.

    Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is a proof that Chinese studio can bring fast-paced action RPG with different Asian flavour. There are long cutscenes worth watching and solid combat system with engaging characters and their skills. What a fine alternative bringing also good plot from different mythology.

    Despite some glaring issues, Sword And Fairy: Together Forever’s likeable cast and fun story makes this action RPG a good entry point into Chinese wuxia fantasy. [Issue#19, p.78]

    Sword and Fairy: Together Forever looks pretty and has some fun moments, but constant cutscenes and a poor translation make it hard to recommend.
