Not long ago, this game officially launched its public beta for PC. This game has garnered a lot of attention from players for quite some time. As a martial arts genre game, it performs very well in both graphics and gameplay. So, how are the reviews for Sixteen Echoes of Yan Yun? Although this game is famous, discussions and evaluations about it online are quite complex. Many people did not participate in previous tests, so they are unsure if the online reviews are accurate. Next, we will introduce the main gameplay evaluation of Sixteen Echoes of Yan Yun.

The story of this game is set in the early Song Dynasty. The game is positioned as a large-world exploration MMO. The game's graphics are indeed very refined. Whether in CG animations or daily actions, everything is vividly depicted. The game’s plot adopts a fragmented mode, which can be confusing at first, making many feel that the plot is very scattered. However, if all fragments are collected and integrated, one can understand the complete and exciting storyline. During the public beta, players generally commented on issues with game actions. The operations are not difficult, but the character attack experience is not particularly impressive.
Especially when facing outdoor bosses, it feels like the boss reacts more flexibly than our operations. Our movements seem clumsy, which is a common complaint among players. The explorable areas in the game are vast, and almost every area has numerous side quests available for completion. Most of these side quests are not too challenging to complete. Completing them offers three benefits: the first benefit is obtaining good game development resources. Resources are scarce during the early and mid-game stages, so we need to gather more.

The second benefit is helping us better understand the game’s plot, as many side quests are closely related to the main storyline. Some mysteries in the main story can be solved through side quests. The last benefit is helping us understand the map layout clearly. Since the map is large, unfamiliarity would waste a lot of time in subsequent battles and tasks.

The overall smoothness of the game is high. We can obtain martial skills by completing tasks or joining sects. These martial skills are crucial for combat, enhancing our efficiency and fighting ability. Martial skills generally require suitable weapons to use.
Not all weapons can use all martial skills, which needs attention. There are various main weapons available for selection. Each weapon has different attack methods, a unique feature of the game’s combat system. Players need to find the weapon that suits them best to maximize their advantages in exploration. The game’s tutorial mode is done very well. In the early stages, we only need to follow the guide for the main storyline. After accepting some side quests, the guide automatically switches to the side quest guide, which is very user-friendly.

At the beginning of the game, there is a plot introduction about events involving our parents' generation. Our character is an orphan who was raised by Uncle Jiang and Aunt Han. After growing up, there is a plot where we are ambushed by black-clothed individuals.

This plot mainly involves choosing our innate talent when losing a jade pendant, which is very important for future school selection. For example, choosing "Strength to Lift a Cauldron" means our attack growth will be very high, suitable for using long-range weapons.

The above answers the question of how Sixteen Echoes of Yan Yun is evaluated. Currently, the game’s strengths outweigh its weaknesses. The gameplay is not too difficult to pick up, and the variety of playstyles allows for enjoyment after playing for some time.
