The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 Prequel (2004)

This waizhuan (side-story) to the third game in Xianjian Qixia Zhuan series is not directly connected to it story-wise, but graphically and gameplay-wise the two are nearly identical. It utilizes the same fully 3D graphical engine, role-playing system, and turn-based battles with visible regular enemies, an indicator that shows the speed of your and the enemies' actions (allowing additional strategies), and two kinds of energy bars for special techniques.
