Wuxia Wanderings

Read the translator announcements. Pika has caught up with the raws. He said that in a translator announcement 2 months ago: https://www.wuxiaworld.com/announcements/keyboard-immortal/caught-up-to-the-author The author has not been posting a chapter every day, so there can't be a release every day. Also Pika had this announcement: https://www.wuxiaworld.com/announcements/keyboard-immortal/current-release-schedule-information

I already bought and played this game during Early Access and frankly it was polished and felt mostly complete even then. It's well worth the price and and imo, as someone who's been researching and reading and translating wuxia (not cultivation novels!) for around 15 years, this game is way up there for a good wuxia experience. Feels like you're roaming the jianghu as you decide through your decisions--who you join, who you help, who you don't help, who you befriend and recruit--what the main story of the game will be. As such there are multiple endings and you won't be 100% the game in one playthrough. It strikes a nice balance of using old wuxia tropes while still creating its own world. It doesn't get bogged down in pastiche, merely checking the boxes of what a wuxia experience ought to have. You can join whatever sect or gang you want, you can annihilate them completely. You can wipe out villages, you can make sect leaders submit to your superior skills. You can have pets. There's tournaments, different ways to level up, such as burning incense, praying, etc. There's acupoint striking where you can immobilize people and take their stuff. There's gambling. The towns feel populated, not just a tiny bare map with little to do. For those inevitably wondering how this compares to the recently released Wandering Sword, imo WS has really fun combat but the story is more linear, not particularly well-written, and there's less to do overall. Still a good game worth getting, but for me, Hero's Adventure beats it in every category except arguably the soundtrack. Note that this game is wuxia, not xuanhuan or xianxia. Overall, Hero's Adventure is a really good wuxia game, and I think it is the best game currently on the market in English to introduce people to the wuxia genre.
