For our regular viewers that caught JamesBl0nde and
DizzyPW's Most
Anticipated Games of 2013, you may have learned of a distant gem we had our
sights on since its extraordinarily early appearance at E3 2010, Swordsman Online. Well
the long wait is finally over, at least for those that know Chinese, as the
open beta is now going strong (and without IP block!).
Recent in-house developed titles by Perfect World have shown
remarkable speed in localization so our prediction of a fourth quarter 2013
English beta may be spot on the mark. But for now be sure to check out the
Youtube video maker Yuusha Exa for a look at the early gameplay, character
customization, and preview of advanced martial arts. While animations are still
lacking on a lot of NPCs, it can't be denied the cutscenes and skill animations
are top notch.
