Our Expert Score

90/100

Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of the Sky is a legendary title for a reason. Often called the 'Chinese Final Fantasy,' this mobile port brings a sprawling, emotional epic to the palm of your hand. The story, set during the Sui Dynasty, is a beautiful blend of historical fiction and Chinese mythology, following Chen Jingchou on his quest to restore his fallen kingdom. It is a narrative-heavy experience that doesn't shy away from tragedy or complex character motivations.

Visually, the game utilizes a stunning traditional ink-wash painting aesthetic that makes every environment feel like a piece of classical art. While the turn-based combat system and the 'Spirit Fusion Pot' mechanic might feel a bit old-school to modern players, the depth of customization and the sheer quality of the writing make it a must-play for any RPG enthusiast looking for a unique cultural perspective.

I LOVE THIS GAME
Tue Sep 08 2020 zhenzhen_029

One of the very first games I played when I was little and always loved it so much! The story line is beautiful. I still cry when I play this game even though I’ve played it so many times already. Please make more games, I will buy all of them in a heart beat!!!

Great game but some bugs

1 - scrolling has some issue on my iPhone max. The game does not do boundary detection correctly and instead of the background stop scrolling as the character approaches boundary of a map, it wraps around instead. 2 - if I switch out of the game then switch back in, all control is lost. I have to close the app and relaunch each time. This is very inconvenient for a mobile game. Please fix these bugs on an otherwise beautiful game!

so glad

I remember had this game on my old iPad and everything was fine but now the game has no sound and vendor has no intent to update this problem.

No sounds?

I’m running this on iOS 14.2 on my iPad and there is absolutely no sounds at all... anyone else has the same issue?

Cutscenes don’t play on iPhone XS Max

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPhone XS Max. There’s only sound and no graphics during cutscenes when I play on the XS Max.

Touch screen no response
