Odds are that most in the PC community are saving away for their next upgrade. More than likely, it’ll entail a GPU or perhaps even a new display. Well, why not take a moment to enjoy a new game for free? A free demo for the action-adventure RPG Xuan-Yuan Sword VII is now available on Steam. The folks over at DSOG spotted this third-person-perspective game that uses the Unreal Engine. Judging from these screenshots, the game could offer some nice eye candy for those next upgrades.
Xuan-Yuan Sword VII is developed by Domo Studios and published by SOFTSTAR ENTERTAINMENT INC. It features real-time combat along with its own combo-based combat system. Combinations comprise active skills, dodges, blocks, and ripostes. There is also a magical element tied to crafting and combat. Players will use Elysium Scrolls to absorb monsters, create items, and more.
