Sword And Fairy: Together Forever

The story is set about 100 years after the events of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2, with numerous homages to all previous games and some of the characters from the second, third and fifth game even making cameo appearances. The game is primarily made for the PC platform and is available for digital distribution on Steam. The player can also choose to "fly" and fast travel directly to another area to save time, and flying is the only option to travel between major locations as there are no open-world maps between them. There is also an expandable mini-map that shows the locations of side quests and various important facilities on the map. When encountering friendly NPCs, a dialogue mark will appear above their head with hints of the conversation content, and dubbed greetings and background conversations will play when the player gets nearby. When using a team of protagonists, the player can switch readily among team members, and the enemies and boss will often prioritize attacking the character the player is currently controlling. Each enemy defeat will grant experience points and spoil items to the characters, allowing level-ups and acquisition of new skills. There are numerous mini-games in the game, mainly a card game called "Journey of Heaven and Earth" and a platform game called "Leaf Fairy Jump" , which allow the player to collect trading cards and unlock a hidden fairy servant, as well as a skiing game, a stealth game and a bamboo pole dancing game. The game has a unique "Cooking Mode", which allows the player to use obtained recipes and ingredients to create special dishes with beverages that can provide significant healing, power-ups and buffs for the entire team. There is also a "Photo Mode" that allows the player to aerially tour the map and capture screenshots from any viewing angle. Xiu Wu, a deity warrior tasked to hunt down the fugitive leader of the celestial rebel group Heavenly Demons, infiltrates the Demon Realm but was detected and attacked by Garuda soldiers. Fighting off waves after waves of pursuers, Xiu Wu concludes the mission is a failure and decides to retreat but does not have enough spirit energy remaining to activate his magical Chunzi Sword and open a portal back to the Deity Realm. After managing to escape to the Yanbo Spring, one of Shennong's Nine Springs and a forbidden area to the demon tribes, he was intercepted by the demon lord Chonglou, who critically wounds and knocks him off a cliff towards the magma below. However, Chonglou decides not to really kill Xiu Wu and uses the dropped Chunzi Sword to open a portal that allowed him to fall through to the Human Realm. Meanwhile, in the Human Realm, a young lady-warrior named Yue Qingshu manages to outrun Xiqu, a violent, gigantic bison-like supernatural beast that has threatened the locals for years.
