One and a half years after the European release, Swordsman Online is coming to the Steam platform.
Perfect World has its own platform with Arc. They prefer that; they don’t have to give up any of the profits. But Steam also opens up a game to new customer segments, especially if it’s not a hit and has been out for a while. It’s often observed that MMOs that have been on the market for years suddenly want to go for the feeding troughs of Mr. Newell. Some, like Tera, achieved this with great success. Many are now following in their footsteps.
Swordsman Online is a martial arts MMORPG from Asia. It started in summer 2014. We reported on it occasionally at the beginning, but then we pretty much lost sight of the game in 2015. Probably like many others as well.
It is now playable on Steam via this link. The reviews are currently quite balanced, with a slight negative touch. Swordsman Online, one can probably lean out of the window and say, is certainly not a game for everyone.
