As you step into Jade Dynasty: New Fantasy (JD), you will begin your journey of creating your own legend in the fantastic world of the Jade Dynasty.
Story (★★★☆☆)
✔️ The game is based on a web novel
✔️ Narrative plays a key role in this game
✔️ Cross-references from the old 2007 Jade Dynasty by the same developer
❌ Translations are rough around the edges (Direct translations, grammatical mistakes and the use of modern English lingo + emoji)
❌ Becomes rather bland after a while
Gameplay (★★☆☆☆)
✔️ A mashup of game elements (Turn-based combat, and MMORPG game mechanics)
✔️ Character and costume customisation is available
✔️ 8 classes to choose from
✔️ You get to keep a pet (Spirit Beast)
❌ Auto-mode
❌ Lack of interactivity
❌ Excitement wears off pretty quick
❌ Glitchy at times
Graphics (★★★☆☆)
✔️ Beautiful 3D realism art style
✔️ Stunning character design
✔️ Cinematic cutscenes
❌ UI Interface still needs some tweaking
Audio (★☆☆☆☆)
✔️ Atmospheric and soothing sound design
❌ Voice over doesn’t sound appropriate for the game
❌ Voiceover switches from English to Chinese at times
Verdict (★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆)
Although the game may possess stunning graphics, it still can’t seem to scratch the itch that I’d love it to. Sure, I may not have played the 2007 game, but becoming the victor of the turn-based combats may offer a sense of accomplishment but doesn’t seem to go far.
Unless you’re in it for the love of the Jade Dynasty novel and MMORPG games, I’d recommend you to go for something more exciting.
