Let's talk about the picture first. Many people first look at whether the picture quality is the highest 3D and whether the special effects are dazzling enough. In fact, that is just the first impression. The classic PC game "Breaking Sword" is transplanted. The graphics style follows the old-school martial arts route. Scenes such as the Galaxy Tai Chi Boat and the God Cemetery Palace have a sense of light, shadow and atmosphere, which can indeed arouse the feelings of old players, but if you compare it with those new games with next-generation engines, it is definitely not in the same dimension. I give the picture a 7. It wins because of the restoration of style, but loses because of its technical limitations.
The gameplay is the highlight and the part that weighs the most in my rating. Po Tian Yijian retains the five career settings of the PC game, including constellation guardians, marriage and childbirth, five element cultivation, and BOSS competition. The system is quite rich, and it is not the kind of difficulty design that forces you to get stuck. What satisfies me the most is its combat feel. The slogan "One knife in a second" sounds exaggerated, but in actual operation, the refreshing feeling of interweaving combos and skills is really there, especially during cross-server PK, when brothers rush into battle together, you can't pretend to be nervous. I give this one an 8.5.
Let's talk about krypton gold again. The game charging mode shows 0 (free), but everyone knows the tricks of free games. "The Sky-breaking Sword" has open trading, and ingots can be sold on consignment. This actually gives civilian players a way to survive. However, if you want to pursue top equipment and the top of the rankings, you have to invest time and money. My evaluation is: you can play with zero krypton, you can have fun with small krypton, and you can be king with big krypton, but its trading system is relatively conscientious and does not belong to the type where it is difficult to move forward without adding money. I give it 7 points for krypton gold.
Finally, let's talk social. The social design of this game is basically based on the PC game era. The marriage system, team treasure hunting, and gang cross-server battles all encourage players to build relationships. I have actually measured that the experience of finding a fixed team in the game is indeed much better than playing solo, especially when fighting for BOSS together, the brotherly atmosphere of shouting and killing in the voice is so interesting. I give it 8 points for the social dimension.
Taken together, "Breaking Sky Sword" is an MMORPG that has obvious marks of the times but still has a solid core. It is not suitable for people who pursue the ultimate picture quality and new concepts, but if you are nostalgic or want to experience the kind of pure martial arts PK, it is worth downloading and giving it a try. My final overall score is 7.6, which is a work worth playing.
In fact, ratings are never absolutely objective. What I have said is just to give everyone a reference system. After all, your own fingers have the most say in whether the game is fun or not, right 😁
