In terms of design, Xuan-Yuan Sword has a lot of good ideas that have been done badly due to technical woes. All of this works despite the exceedingly poor localization while there are times when you’ll know the translation conveyed a different tone than was probably intended, the story is still far better than a traditional JRPG, and it’s interesting enough to drive you deep into the game. There is mystery that starts with an interesting premise and drops just enough bread crumbs to keep you actively engaged. The main party is fleshed out with realistic motivations that make them easily relatable. The entire tale comes off as a Chinese folktale and it’s complemented by added depth. It’s a game set in ancient China and you’ll be dealing with a lot of unlikely heroes, princes, princesses, deities and other divine beings. It helps that the story is actually quite decent. The experience is frankly absurd, but it is absurd in a way that can become endearing. There are a catastrophic amount of spelling errors, including a misspelling of the main hero’s name on the Character tab of the menu. Text runs off the screen because the literal translation was too long, leaving you confused and bemused. You cannot play the game for five minutes without running into basic issues that could have been solved by proofreading.
Xuan-Yuan Sword is absolutely riddled with errors. Since cultures are different, especially comparing China to the West, it’s important to ensure that cultural quirks that make sense in China are altered to convey that same message in an understandable way here in the West. An ideal translation will be meticulous, making sure each word is both literally correct and also that the overall message is kept intact. The translation work in this game is extremely poor. These two come together to create an experience that is somehow very charming on first impression. It is impossible to talk about Xuan-Yuan Sword without first talking about its localization, but it is likewise impossible to talk about it without also addressing its voluminous number of technical issues. Because a game must be played actively, all the negatives would outweigh the positive aspects.
