Early Reception

In China, Sword of Justice was a massive hit, pulling 40M+ players in its first month and peaking at 1.1M concurrent users. According to NetEase’s Q2 2025 report, the game helped drive a 14% YoY revenue increase, ranking No. 3 on iOS top-grossing charts. Global beta feedback has been equally strong, with 10M+ pre-registrations already locked in.


A Story Rooted in Wuxia Tradition

The narrative is inspired by Wen Ruian’s classic novel The Four Great Constables: Sword of Justice, reimagined in the Northern Song Dynasty.


You step into the role of a wandering constable or a customizable hero tasked with navigating a world full of corruption, rival sects, and supernatural threats. What I find interesting is how the game uses dynamic AI-driven NPCs to make the world feel alive. Your choices can shift alliances, spark betrayals, and even alter world events. It’s not just about swinging a sword; it’s about shaping the story around you.


Gameplay That Puts Martial Arts First

Combat is fast-paced and skill-based, with parries, dodges, and aerial combos that feel closer to action titles than traditional MMORPGs. You can choose from multiple classes, like a nimble swordsman, a spear-wielding tank, or even an elemental mage. With over 100 abilities to mix and match, there’s plenty of room to experiment.


Exploration is just as important, with a massive ray-traced world full of mountains, rivers, and hidden sects. NPCs even remember your actions of stealing from a merchant, and you might find prices going up the next time you visit.


Multiplayer features are robust, too. Expect guild raids, world bosses, PvP arenas, and even cross-platform play between PC and mobile. Social systems like treasure hunting, crafting, and sect-building add more depth, while mounts, housing, and seasonal events keep things fresh.
