Non western RPG lovers- What are your thoughts on Sword and Fairy?

[Cragarmi]

I hadn't heard of this series before, but I hear this may be a good jumping in point if you have not played any of the others.

It's a Chinese ARPG, which used to be Turn Based I believe? Looks like it may be worth a look?

Here is a recent video which gives an overview of the story and combat.

I'm looking forward to it. It's supposed to come out on August 4th but this trailer didn't reconfirm the release date

I can't wait to learn the story and dive into the combat

Will be checking it out, just not on day 1. I've been super behind on my gaming lately.
