Path of Kung Fu

SUPER fun. Recommended. OK I am going to write this review, possibly update it later. But since the game is on sale, some might be looking at it. Particularly after playing other games like Tale of Immortal or Wandering Sword. [h3]What this game is:[/h3] This is a Chinese game made by Chinese speaking devs. Not a major powerhouse with a big war chest of resources. They have tried to expand their audience after launch, after receiving good feedback from English speaking players desperately wanting to play this game. To do that, they used a machine translator. The translation really sucks lol. Not only does the translation suck, they decided to anglicize the names so you have a lot of randomly generated NPCs named Bob Johnson and other weird stuff. Could have just kept the Pinyin names but hey. Not only that, the text translation doesn't fit the text box half the time and it's very hard to read. [b] Devs, : 游鲤化龙工作室 might want to read the below, 翻译一下 哈哈 [/b] But let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. The game is good enough that fan fixes are in place to shore up the language. There's an excel sheet from github you can over-write the original file with. Pinyin names li…

官方更新英文翻译后，强迫所有人用英文版。我试了好久，都没有办法切换回中文。也无法退款。真垃圾设定

I have finally obtained platinum after a while. Compared to any other Wuxia themed games I played so far, this is the only one that isn't turn based and actually had a good concept in its gameplay, world and build variety. The world is so abundant...but empty at the same time. It just has tons of problems from translation, NPC names, terrible UI, and many more. If you just skip and focus on the gameplay, it really does get repetitive. The visuals are fine, reminds me of the old chinese paintings which actually helped with the immersion especially with each town being a bit huge which sucks because the translation just kills that. Overall, I'm not gonna say much because I was genuinely more frustrated with the achievement hunting because despite it all being easy, the terrible translations with the weapon types and lack of translation of the achievement made me put a bit more effort than needed which btw, I beat this game around 29-30 hrs so figuring out those simple but annoying remnants were so irritating. 4/10 (if you speak chinese, maybe around 7-8/10)

Combat is good but the translation problems extend to basic UI elements instead of just awkward dialogue like you'd expect, and the experience is overall difficult to understand, which combined with the sort of slow paced almost mmo like sandbox, is a fairly annoying slog to play early on for that two hour refund window. If there was more community support through like, mods or walkthroughs I'd probably stick with it but I can't really justify it right now.

I don't know half the interface. but I love kungfu, so it's all good

The game is really something but i thought people review about bad translation cant be that bad right? i thought wrong. its worst but i hope 1 day for a good local english translation.
