is this a chinese game?

if its made in the PRC, its a no buy. the country is nortorious making blatant copies of overall terrible games.

How can Chinese games be equal to terrible games? I guess there must be some misunderstandings.

Prior to the advent of the age of freemium MMOS and mobile games, the Chinese video game industry (referring to Greater China. Developers based in Taiwan also do business in the mainland and tend to have mainland subsidiaries and partners) actually produced high quality single player works (many of which are created in emulation of the Xianjian series or feature wuxia or historical themes). After many video game studios shut down in the early 2000s, exploitative, grindfest, ripoff, and generally poor-quality trash began to dominate the market, and developers were pressured to feed into these trends or face shutting down, leading to the understandable perception that the Chinese video game industry has always been like this. It's quite a miracle that Softstar and a few other companies (such as Heluo Studio, WindThunder Studio, Userjoy Technology, and Zealot Digital) have endured through the years (companies like Kingsoft sold out big time but also survived) to continue to produce engaging single player experiences that have none of those prevalent shady businesses practices and microtransactions attached (though some branching off is necessary, such as licensing IPs and creating MMOS), and I urge gamers to support developers like Softstar so that they can keep delivering their games to us without compromising the games' quality and their integrity. It's also encouraging to witness new indie developers like Hunter Studio, TPP Studio, and FantaBlade Network appearing and making a name for themselves.

I bought many games from following studios in past few months. It's not perfect in all aspect, but they all deliver solid gameplay and some interesting features in each game. Most developers are active in forum for feedback to improve their game and it's reason I keep supporting most studios.

Not buying it as the video is all is chinese and tells nothing about game play. looks pretty generic though..

Xianjian Qixia Zhuan is the series countless developers have copied FROM, but I guess it might indeed appear generic to the layperson nowadays.

Asked for a refund after 15 minutes.

Terrible washed out graphics, stuttering, a laughable bad English translation, no gamepad support, no key rebinding, no thank you.

The song on the title screen was nice though.

I bought "The Gate of Firmament" last year from the same publisher and even finished that game in about 40 hours. Was a lot of fun, even with the shaky translations.
But this seems WAY lower quality.

Fixed.

To be fair, both Xuan Yuan Sword and this series borrow heavily from Dragon's Quest (on older games) and Final Fantasy (later games), they even later borrows older FF ATB and then FFXIII battle systems.

You also know it wasn't always part of China, and currently isn't part of China?

Technically it isn't even Han Chinese.

Taiwan is surely a part of China, currently not a part of PRC.

Taiwan (/ˌtaɪˈwɑ:n/ (About this sound listen)), officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a state in East Asia

"The PRC has consistently claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and asserted the ROC is no longer in legitimate existence. Under its One-China Policy the PRC refused diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the ROC. Today 20 countries maintain official ties with the ROC but many other states maintain unofficial ties through representative offices and institutions that function as de facto embassies and consulates. Although Taiwan is fully self-governing, most international organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only as a non-state actor. Internally, the major division in politics is between the aspirations of eventual Chinese unification or Taiwanese independence, though both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal. The PRC has threatened the use of military force in response to any formal declaration of independence by Taiwan or if PRC leaders decide that peaceful unification is no longer possible.[19]"
