Swordsman 2

Swordsman 2 is an open-world RPG developed by Artdink and published in the Chinese market by San-Tzu. Set on a medieval fantasy continent spanning six kingdoms, players take on the role of a free-roaming adventurer with no fixed main storyline and no final boss. Instead of a traditional experience-point system, character attributes and skills are improved by paying trainers. Gameplay revolves around accepting commissions for income, recruiting companions, purchasing equipment, and even starting a family. The game ends only upon the protagonist's death — an unusually open-ended design that delivered a genuine sandbox experience well ahead of its time.
