An authentic Chinese fantasy.
When I first watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon I’d never seen anything like it.
The balletic swordplay, gravity-defying leaps and beautiful cinematography were mesmerising.
Chinese developer Everstone Studio has similar aspirations for its debut game.
I was assured, however, that full controller support will be included with its PC release next year.
The developers were keen to stress three particular elements of their game.
He’ll also have access to abilities and skills from multiple martial arts, many of which mimic animals.
The second is the open world, which is as vast as it is beautiful.
It’s possible to be good and bad as players are given the freedom to tell their own story.
And, as well as fishing, it’s possible for you to pet cats and dogs.
Lastly, the game will surprisingly include a multiplayer option.
Then I handed over control and the swordsman flew up into the air.
Like the swordsman, it took my breath away.
Still, combat - and the already extensive skill trees - prove Where Winds Meet has real potential.
I can’t wait to see more.
