Pretty good martial arts focused action rpg game (and i mean actual rpg with dialogues and choices) - Story, characters, dialogues and the world is pretty good. Pretty much why you wanna play this game. - Combat is a bit shallow, pretty easy to exploit and not much depth to the styles, you will be doing basic attacks and strong attacks, combined with some spells throughout the game. - It's a 2005 game so there are some jank stuff, like camera going crazy and only way to fix it, reload a save etc. didnt really bother me that much. If you decide to buy the game, do these steps before launching the game, so it works - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3282115143&tscn=1783088773 Huge credits to Xafron Chi for the guide above, it helped perfectly and didnt need to download any mods.2 found this helpful
Great story and world building. I've found the characters, both heroes and villains, very interesting. The graphics may look a bit dated compared to today's games, but game itself is worth playing. I am playing it on a Steam Deck and it works perfectly out of the box. I've only changed the aspect ratio to 16:9.1 found this helpful
Truly one of Biowares gems they should have continued to support instead of dropping it at EA's behest. I would give anything to see a sequel to this game and make it a trilogy if possible.
G.G.O.A.T.
Played this on the OG xbox, it was great then and it's still a great RPG. Especially if you enjoy the classic Bioware style. The characters are interesting and well written, the story has good twists, and the combat is unique even today. My only negative is that there isn't more of the world.
Being a console gamer when this came out, I remember xbox somehow feeling more sophisticated (or something) than playstation because of the games that were out. Jade Empire wasnt on PS2, and neither was Morrowind. They were on Xbox though. Along with KOTOR these games ended up being a lot of my childhood among others. JE was THE martial arts RPG per se at that time. It really hasnt aged as well as some other games, even with the updated version, but its still worth a play or 2. The morality system alone offers a lot of diversity in playthroughs.
