Gameplay
Stranger of Sword City is a dungeon crawler style role-playing video game. Players progress through the game by navigating through dungeons laden with hazardous booby traps.
Development
Stranger of Sword City was originally announced in June 2012 with an 2013 release date. In April 2013, director Motoya Ataka announced that the game was "in the middle stage of development", with the music " about 80% complete." However, it was announced in September 2013 that due to delays, the game has been postponed, and will instead release in early 2014. In September 2013, Experience asked in for fans to submit concepts for boss characters, including "boss monsters for the end of the story, a top class boss for the middle of the game, a boss that has a unique fighting space like underwater or outer space, a flying or floating boss, a monster with scales, and "god" tiers for regular enemies." A teaser trailer was announced on February 7, 2014. It was also that the game, which was originally only planned for release on the PC and Xbox 360 platforms, would also be available for the PlayStation Vita. A new version of the game with a new graphical style, was released in March 2016 for the Xbox One.
Reception
Four Famitsu reviewers gave the Xbox 360 version of Stranger of Sword City 8, 9, 8 and 7 out of 10, for a total of 32/40.
