There are only Four major settlements in the game, and every single excursion to a given settlement only happens once per game (so no revisiting towns till the very end), these excursions are also a substantial chunk of the game, with 3 to 5 hours each easily of gametime. Typically you are given several hours by the story to explore before the story kicks. Unfortunately you are always on the clock while inside these towns, with every 5 seconds of real time corresponding to about a minute in game time. Control a character in an isometric environment. Think a typical Baldur's gate or Divinity style experience. It is possible, though not recommended, to ironman this game if people really want the additional challenge. Most impressively there is no lose condition until the very end of the game any losses you take do not lead to a gameover and the game continues on accounting for your lock. There are many cutscenes both optional and not. In all it's a low budget game with a truckload of content, but there's no voiced dialogue most of the story is told bust-style. Time management permeates every aspect of this game, with the exception of the final act which opens it up fully. In general, this game is best described as an SRPG and Life-simulator type game familiar to those who have played Persona or Long Live the Queen. It should also be noted that the translation of this game was basically assembled by non-english speaking fans of the game, but more on that later. The English version is a translation of arguably the "real" remake, as the game is made by much of the same team and features a lot of reused musical and art assets from the original game. To further complicate this mess, due to some weird licensing issues there are two competing remakes of Legend of Wulin, developed by different companies. Still, if anything is wuxia I bet this game is as it focuses solely on the conflicts and dramas of multitudes of clans. I have no expertise in the subject and have not read a single Wuxia book aside from watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon once. Kungfu is given a mythological status and strange exotic powers, like firing laser beams and poisoning people with their breath. Wuxia itself is a fiction genre popular in China where basically everyone knows some form of martial art. For those interested in the original Legend of Wulin, there is a fairly comprehensive Let's Play from SA, though I've not read it personally so I cannot attest to it's quality. This game does utilize many of its organizations and martial arts. Tales of Wuxia copies the setting but does not directly feature characters from Jin Yong's books (AFAIK), whereas Heroes of Jin Yong does. This game itself is a sequel to a similar type of game, B]Heroes of Jin Yong, which was based on the numerous works of Wuxia author Jin Yong. This game is ostensiably a remake of Legend of Wulin, a 2001 Chinese life-simulator game about a person from modern day China supplanted into Jianghu, a fictional setting that's basically China with magic kung-fu powers.
