## What is Jade Empire™?

Jade Empire: Special Edition is an award-winning action RPG from the makers of Dragon Age and Mass Effect.  Experience a unique combination of fast paced martial arts action with a gripping, character driven story set in a mythical land.  Each decision builds your reputation, changing the course of interactions with other characters and followers. Take the role of a master of martial arts, and recruit followers to your cause in an interactive, living world.

Embark on an epic journey with fascinating characters across a graphically beautiful, fantastic new world inspired by the myths and legends of ancient China.  Sinister events upset the peaceful harmony of an isolated martial arts school, drawing you into a story that unfolds with drama, action, and adventure.  Detailed followers and other non-player characters enrich the adventure by providing comic relief, rivalries, flirtations, and hostility.  Stare in awe at the sweeping views of the lush environments, sheer vertical drops, and overpowering scale that provide the visual backdrop to the story. Confront wild outlaws, evil magicians, demonic incarnations, and other foul villains that protect the Jade Empire’s darkest secrets. 

Game Features: 

• An epic experience with a rich blend of role-playing and exciting real-time combat.
• “Special Edition” version of the game with additional content. 
• Elegant touch controls designed from the ground up for a mobile screen.
• Jade Empire: Special Edition for mobile is the full experience, with over 40 hours of gameplay.

### 5/5 — One of the greatest.

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.2*

The sooner you play this, the better. Don’t miss out.

### 5/5 — Value for money

*2026-03-21, version 1.0.2*

I played it when I was young on Xbox, I bought it again to replay 20 years later and it still worth to play. Great stories with twist, plots. If you want to switch enemy, just click on the character itself and it will change.

### 5/5 — very nice

*2025-09-18, version 1.0.2*

Just finished my first playthrough and this is awesome.  I’d never heard of this game until a couple months ago.    Works perfectly on my iPad.  For anyone having problems with targeting or controls, I recommend doing a lot of practice fights (sparring) and perhaps adjusting sensitivity or difficulty.  I made it through the entire game on normal difficulty.  It was very enjoyable and I am looking forward to replays.

### 5/5 — One of my All Time Favs

*2025-07-27, version 1.0.2*

Played on the Xbox as a kid and so fun playing now. This and KOTOR are some of my favorites!

### 5/5 — Отличная игра!

*2025-07-07*

Да, с последнего обновления прошло неприлично много времени и игра неадаптированна под современные разрешения экрана. Но на планшете это не критично. Если он у вас имеется, то рекомендую к покупке. Игра стоит своих денег.

10 запоротых романов по невнимательности из 10:)

### 1/5 — Worst port ever

*2025-04-20, version 1.0.2*

This game has terrible controls for the iPhone the targeting is terrible and the advanced controls do t even work half of the time

### 1/5 — Game Crashes frequently

*2025-03-01, version 1.0.2*

I could barely load the game and play it without a crash. Iphone 11.

### 5/5 — A Classic

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.2*

Still one of my favorites

### 5/5 — Обновите пожалуйста

*2025-01-15*

Нужна адаптация под новые разрешения экранов

### 5/5 — 東方版巫師

*2024-12-28, version 1.0.2*

蒸汽東方版巫師 選擇超多 戰鬥跟巫師一樣爛😓
