“The early Chinese game market was indeed quite chaotic, but the situation has improved a lot now.
When it comes to the impact of bad games on the market, I think China’s Blood Lion is a classic example — it was so bad that it made many people lose faith in domestic single-player games for a while.
As for excellent Chinese games, The Legend of Sword and Fairy (Chinese Paladin) truly showcases a unique kind of romance that is distinctly Chinese. This romance is very different from JRPG stories — it’s more about chivalric culture and the emotional ties of the jianghu (the martial world).”

However, it’s worth noting that the first generation of Chinese Paladin (or The Legend of Sword and Fairy) is only available in Chinese on Steam, with no official English translation. There are fan-made English patches, but their quality varies. Starting from the fourth generation onward, some later titles gradually added official English subtitle support. For example, Chinese Paladin VI had an international version with English language options. If you want to try a version with English support, it’s recommended to start with the sixth generation."
