What it is
Stranger of Sword City is a role-playing game from Experience set in Escario, a dark fantasy land where magic and technology meet. After a plane passes through a strange rift and crashes, its sole survivor wakes beneath an unfamiliar sky and is marked as the Stranger, the Chosen One. The story sends you through treacherous labyrinths filled with fierce monsters, including powerful Lineage Type foes. Defeating those monsters yields Blood Crystals that increase your power. You can build a party, develop your skills, and decide whether to trust the Kingdom, Medell Co., or the Strangers Guild; your choices of allies shape the search for a way home and Escario’s defense. The game is single-player on Windows, with Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and partial controller support.
