Xuan-Yuan Sword: Dance of the Maple Leaves

虽然是老旧的迷宫-回合制战斗系统，但机关，怪物……这些三十年前的设计放现在仍不过时。枫之舞的优秀传统部分在轩四发扬光大，但大部分仍然淹没在黄金时代的废墟中…… 概念设计足以竞争黄金时代Top的作品。

Xuan-Yuan Sword: Dance of the Maple Leaves is a delightful classic turn-based RPGs of the 90s, featuring unique gameplay mechanics and captivating pixel art that beautifully captures the essence of that era. The game's narrative is the best part. Story is engaging, filled with witty and humorous dialogues that will immerse players in a fantastical journey. While the gameplay is solid, there are areas that could be enhanced. Inventory management proves to be painful due to limited space and an abundance of seemingly unnecessary items cluttering the player's inventory and tons of equipment you'll use for a very brief time. Additionally, certain game mechanics may be slightly convoluted, possibly exacerbated by the absence of an official English translation, which could hinder understanding for non-native speakers. One notable area for potential improvement is the lack of dungeon variety. The dungeons often follow a pattern of increasing length and complexity, with encounter rates occasionally being overly frequent. Also it's funny that the 2 biggest dungeons of the game are located inside the body of two machines that look very small from the outside...quite unrealistic. However, the game maintains a reasonable level of accessibility, ensuring that players do not face constant defeat. A significant aspect that could be diversified is the game's progression structure. The story unfolds in a very linear fashion, with few side quests primarily centered around item collection for NPCs or specific interactions with random encounters. Regrettably, there is limited freedom for exploration within the game world, as players are guided from town to town in a predetermined sequence without much room for deviation. Not much backtracking is required, and revisiting earlier areas of the game is not rewarded in any way. The absence of an English localization for Xuan-Yuan Sword: Dance of the Maple Leaves is truly unfortunate, as the game undoubtedly has the potential to cultivate a dedicated following within Western gaming communities. I would eagerly contribute to any translation efforts, as I firmly believe this exceptional game deserves recognition from a broader audience. Please consider localizing this gem for English-speaking players - its enchanting world is a treasure waiting to be shared with gamers worldwide!

轩辕剑IP一直以真实的历史故事为背景，给我们熟知的历史人物和事件增加一些“不为人知的情节”，这是一个好的创作手法，故事写得好就非常经典，也会让人对对应的历史产生好奇（比如年少时的我）。而想把家国情怀和个人儿女情长交织的故事写得好，不是一件简单的事情，轩辕剑用这种故事框架来做创作，我个人是非常喜欢的。游戏性上，在二代炼妖壶的基础上，增加了装备和其他物品炼化，难度也有一些官方“外挂”，整体体验比二代好。 还有，轩辕剑好像一直有着外传优于正传的传统，从枫之舞到天之痕，从苍之涛到汉之云、云之遥，貌似正传永远都落于外传之下，不知道是创作团队有意为之还是项目导致？枫之舞就是这个传统的开端。 自己第一次玩这游戏已经是2026年了，因为年份久远，不知道该如何评价当年这部作品的水平，但我整体玩下来还是觉得很不错的。

相对2代，新增了攻击动画，且遇敌的时候还能看到不少互动，有时候甚至怪之间会互相打（烛阴和双剑铜人）,另外起始地一堆强卖强抢的，不注意乱点确认会直接送钱。迷宫物品+补给给的非常多，抓妖终于有用:支线+装备，不过成长太费时间，不如直接刷级。BOSS的回血没有2代离谱了。流程里唯一感觉恶心的就是宫廷的分身刺客，纯瞎蒙。前中期刷到30级，后期直接在天政刷到40级可以平推了,可惜没有2的F10大法，总体体验来说优化了不少，存档点也给的非常多。 - 最后看到壶中仙的时候绷不住了，怎么直接成谐星了。

惊艳啊，难以想象是1995年的游戏。我会一直循环OST的
