In today's era of fast food in all kinds of mobile games, what should classic martial arts games do? In recent years, this question has been plaguing many domestic manufacturers who mainly produce martial arts games, and no one knows the answer.
But there is a group of people who have been looking for this answer, just to create a most familiar and classic martial arts jianghu for players. Since the release of the stand-alone version of Xishanju Swordsman Love, the IP of Swordman Love has spent 25 spring and autumn, from stand-alone games to online games to mobile games, Xishanju is constantly moving towards the "classic martial arts" in his heart. From beginning to end, Xishanju has adhered to its original intention of martial arts: rejecting fancy systems and gameplay, maintaining dealing with players, and concentrating on polishing the core gameplay of the classic martial arts category and studying user needs.
As Xiao Langge, the producer of "Sword Man World 3", said: I have been deeply influenced by martial arts film and television dramas since I was a child, and after I have been exposed to martial arts games, I am deeply addicted to the jianghu world with a sense of substitution and immersion. I believe that every audience of martial arts games has the same feeling, playing martial arts games, but just to experience the jianghu that has a great sense of substitution, and at the same time allows players to find a sense of belonging.
Many of today's martial arts games, in order to forcibly increase the player's online time, have introduced many popular games of "work-style" gameplay, so that players spend more and more time in daily activities every day, more and more kryptonite points, and there is no time to experience the sophistication in the jianghu, resulting in players having no sense of belonging, and the retention rate is getting lower and lower. You should know that when the classic martial arts games were brilliant, there were not so many cumbersome gameplay, and many players just looked at the scenery, or found a place to chat with their jianghu friends, and they could spend most of the day.
Therefore, the focus of classic martial arts games should be the interactive experience between players, and family, team battle PK and wild boss rush are the most needed gameplay for classic martial arts players. In addition, in order to ensure that the game can operate for a long time, appropriate daily activity hours, do not impose a lot of constraints on transactions between players, and ensure the circulation of money conscience are also important. Of course, the gameplay can be "classic", but the screen must not be "classic", after all, players will not buy the "mosaic" game now.
At the end of 2021, Xishanju's classic martial arts mobile game "Sword Man World 3" was officially launched on all platforms. As a tribute to the classic martial arts work for the 25th anniversary of the Xishanju Swordsman Romance Series, it seems to be interpreting how today's classic martial arts games should find their own path. And how did this "Sword Man World 3" perform after it was launched?
On the day of the launch of the whole platform, "Sword Man World 3" landed at the top of the App Store free list, and received the App Store Daily Recommendation and the App Store's Best Game nomination for December.

First of all, of course, it is the "inheritance" part, "Sword Man World 3" inherits the gameplay of the Five Elements Xiangke and the three sects of Wudang, Tiannin and Tianwang from the Swordsman Love Series, and at the same time joins the two new sects of Bailu and Yishui to form a new Five Gate Sect. Each sect represents a five-element element, with a unique battlefield positioning and sect characteristics. Coupled with a custom skill combination, players can have a very personal style of battle routines, and they can also show operations in mobile games.
In the design of the combat system, simplifying operations and strengthening strategies are the core ideas of Xishanju. Although the player only has 4 active skill buttons in the game, there are a total of 8 active skills to choose from in the skill tree, allowing players to match their own fighting style. This design not only conforms to the gameplay of classic martial arts, but also adapts to the operation habits of mobile users, which can be said to be very colorful.
At the same time, in "Sword Man World 3", you can also experience the classic gameplay of the Sword Man Love Series such as Song Jin Battlefield, White Tiger Hall, and Wild Chief, experience the feeling of fighting side by side with family members in this classic martial arts jianghu, and find the blood and passion of playing classic martial arts games.
In addition to "inheritance", "Sword Man World 3" has also made innovations: first of all, multi-dimensional face pinching, players can not only choose to become male, female, boy, girl four body shapes, and many details of the face can be adjusted by themselves, from the facial features to the makeup, to ensure that players can create their own satisfactory character appearance. In terms of graphics, "Sword Man World 3" also uses the latest 3D engine to create a high-quality painting of the rivers and lakes, up to 3000 meters of visual distance with a real-time weather system, so that players can experience the most realistic scenery of the rivers and lakes anytime and anywhere.
