About

Sword and Fairy 3 is a single player role playing game. It was developed by SOFTSTAR TECHNOLOGY(SHANGHAI) and was released on April 14, 2021. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

"Sword and Fairy 3" is a Chinese RPG taking place 50 years before the first game, where the seal on a powerful sword is broken, leading to a chain of events traceable to a conflict between a god and a demon in a distant realm a thousand years ago. The god, banished to the human realm, is reincarnated as a prince and becomes entangled in the sword's power and the chaos it brings, with multiple story branches, choices and endings. The game features a unique blend of mythology, real-time combat and sword customization, set in a beautifully realized world.

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally regarded as "okay" but holds up well, with a coherent theme and plot, particularly focusing on reincarnation in this third entry of the series. While it may not be ideal for newcomers, many believe the narrative deserves a retelling or adaptation into a visual novel format, as it is considered one of the stronger aspects of the game despite its old-school gameplay.

    • “The gameplay may be old school, but the story is the best of the best.”
    • “The story is 'okay'.”
    • “Probably not good for new players, but I believe the game's story should be retold or remade into a visual novel.”
    • “There is a theme to each entry of the series; this entry (the 3rd) is about 'reincarnation' and how characters in the story relate to it.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, with many users noting its quality and recommending the affordable soundtrack priced at $2 USD each. However, some players feel that the gameplay elements, such as maze navigation and combat, are lacking in polish. Overall, the soundtrack stands out as a strong point amidst mixed feelings about the gameplay.

    • “Musically, my thinking is very well done (the soundtrack is only $2 USD pre-tax each, and I highly recommend it).”
    • “Music is great, gameplay/maze/combat/movement is just janky.”
