What Swordsman is

Swordsman is a hack and slash/beat 'em up game developed by Perfect World Entertainment and released in 2016. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Angelica III.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Based on the original story, yet adapted and used in a MMORPG game, the story of Swordsman Online is intriguing and magnificent. The player's character is a martial art trainee who lived in a small maritime village. After his home village was destroyed and his family slaughtered by an ambitious faction, he set out on a journey to seek the true conspiracy behind the crime, and a chance for revenge. With the help of various characters from the original novel, the player solved many mysteries, overcame many difficulties, and finally upheld the justice. Yeah, it sounds like just another story of revenge, but belive me, it is one of the most prominent literature work in contemporary China.
