'Wandering Sword' is a 3D pixel-art martial arts RPG crafted by The Swordman Studio, an indie dev house based in Shanghai. It was launched on Steam in September 2023 by Singaporean publisher Spiral Up Games, where it currently holds a 'Very Positive' rating with a 94% recommendation rate.

In 'Wandering Sword', you step into the boots of a young swordsman who, after finding himself tangled in a bloody brawl, is left clinging to life. Once you’ve managed to crawl out of that corner, your journey to becoming a master of the martial world truly begins, as you traverse a sprawling landscape to confront your heroic destiny.

'Wandering Sword' features a main narrative that branches into 20 distinct endings, meaning your choices actually carry some weight. The combat system allows you to toggle between two modes: a tile-based turn-based command style or a real-time approach, giving you plenty of room for some lively tactical manoeuvres.

The game’s distinct pixel art style really ties it all together, painting a classic vision of ancient China and the martial arts world through a charming, dot-by-dot aesthetic.

The PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions, published by CLE, come bundled with the DLC previously sold separately on Steam—namely the 'Mount Pack: Supreme Steeds' and 'The Zen of the Blue Sea'. They also include fresh Japanese and Chinese voice acting, along with support for Korean and Japanese subtitles. Details regarding the voice cast for each character are expected to be shared in the future.
