Evaluation
The Swordsmen X: Survival launched on April 28, 2023 as a 1.0 release after several delays. In the weeks following launch, the developer was active, shipping multiple feature patches through July 24, 2023 that added new martial arts styles, NPCs, and gameplay improvements.
However, since July 24, 2023, the developer has gone completely silent — no patch notes, announcements, or communications of any kind have appeared. This silence has now stretched to nearly three years.
A key unresolved issue is the Glittering-gold Weapon Pack DLC, which remains listed on the store as unreleased with no release date. At launch, the developer specifically promised this pack as a free gift to early buyers, but it has never been delivered and no update on its status has been given.
Combined with the extremely negative player reception (26% positive reviews) and the total cessation of developer communication since July 2023, there is significant uncertainty about whether this game is still being actively supported or whether the promised DLC will ever be released.
Evidence
Last official developer communication: a feature patch adding multiple new martial arts styles and bug fixes. No updates have been posted since this date.
Developer promised the Glittering-gold Weapon Pack as a free compensation gift to players who bought the game within the first two days after launch, to be delivered within one week of launch.

About this game
The Swordsmen X: Survival is a martial art open world adventure game that combines survival and crafting. Developed with UE4, it creates a vivid world covering an area of 256 square kilometers. Cultivate yourself by collecting, crafting, exploring and other methods. Confront complex natural environment and challenges from other warriors. Build various ancient architectures of Chinese style and homes of your own. Create and master unique martial arts. Encounter numerous challenges and random events. Launch a new martial art career and eventually become a well-known hero in this world.
A Well-Crafted Martial Art Open World
Developed with UE4, The Swordsmen X: Survival aims to present a vivid open world with high-quality lighting effects and a real martial art atmosphere. Classic scenes such as Honglian Temple, Jiangzhou City, and Niujia Village will appear in a new form. Enjoy every single scene in different atmospheres created by dynamic weather.
Survive in This Vivid World
Ruthlessness is the true color of this world. In order to cope with extreme heat and severe coldness, you need to store as much food as possible and make clothing by gathering and hunting. You also need to master skills such as forging, weaving, carpentry and cooking. In some cases, threats from natural environment are far more brutal than those from enemies. Bear it in mind that the only way to win is to survive.
Acquire and Combine Martial Arts
Wanna fly over the wall, control swords and use inner strength? Try to find the concerning scrolls scattered everywhere in this world, including those dangerous caves and temples. With help of these skills, you can survive and explore in a better way, but it depends on you how to use and combine them.
Create Martial Arts and Clans of Your Own
Already mastered some martial arts and wanna establish your own clan? No problem! Use what you learnt to carry out various combinations based on the rules and enjoy a changeable combat experience!
Utilize Weapons With Wisdom
Hand-to-hand combat is inevitable, while bow and arrow are also necessary. You can wield melee weapons to show your strength, but your enemy can use long-range weapons to suppress you. You may be able to repel the opponent by throwing objects in the last second, however, you're likely to get into a trap set by the enemy while chasing him in the next second. Your choice is the most powerful weapon!
Build Homes and Compete for Territories
No matter how many achievements you've got, you will still need a shelter. Use your creativity to build your home from zero. Beware of monsters intending to invade and enemies trying to occupy your home. Wisely choose the construction site, set up traps, and protect your territory!
Explore Ruins and Challenge Bosses
There are many mysterious underground palaces hidden in this world, such as the Loulan ruins in the northwest and the military base in the southeast. Discover what happened to these sites, defeat bosses guarding there and find the buried treasures.
