Works great, couple of issue though (with fixes)
It will crash whenever you try to launch it. This is because it has it's own launcher for some reason and the launcher itself crashes hard. Just find the game file itself (Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Jade Empire) and copy the exe and paste a shortcut somewhere and launch it from that.

Also, the controller support sucks, you can't map the triggers to anything from the in-game menu. Right next to the JadeEmpire.exe file, there's a Configuration Settings file by the same name. Open that and scroll all the way to the bottom and copy and paste the below text under [Controller]:

You have to apply fanmade fixes to get it even to start and fix the stuttering. Kinda shitty that they sell it that way. But if you put in those 10 mins its actually a great game with very intriguing story and nice mechanics. I'm glad I gave it a chance

One of my favorites from my childhood, still a blast to play today. If you enjoy RPGs and historical Chinese aesthetics, this is basically a Godsend. As a kid it was the only game I knew of that scratched that itch.

NOTICE.
I've beat the game on more than 1 occasion. It's good. Great even.
I'm reviewing it based on the Steam release, and it has issues. (completely fixable, but still)


(1) If you try to start the game, it will crash.
This is an easy fix:
** Credit to xAlphaStarOmegax**
Guide to fixing the launcher issues;

Go to your Steam folder and copy the 'steam.dll' file, now go to the Jade Empire folder and paste it in there.

-Next rename the JadeEmpireLauncher to 'JadeEmpireLauncherBackup'
-Then rename the JadeEmpire to 'JadeEmpireLauncher'.

That will cause Steam to bypass the Launcher completely and just
run the Game so no more Launcher crashes.

(2) The game is hard capped to run at about... 30 frames per second. It cause a very choppy effect, renders the game unplayable. (I'm not being picky here, it really breaks it)

There is a fix I found in the steam community:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=197207529

If you follow this post, it will fix the choppy problem. Make sure you install the program recommended from this page. It's pretty simple. Then the game is perfectly playable.

Hope this helps. I can't leave a good review with these issues though.

Can't even get the game to start even though I've tried several fixes.

Edit: After a while of trying I got the game to run. The game itself is good, but the port and the technical difficulties to get the game to even run makes me not want to give it a thumbs up.

Thank you for making this game. I loved KOTOR, and I loved Martial Art even more; Jade Empire was a Dream to play.

Played though the week and it was amazing all the way. I expected a Twist or two as is Tradition, but there were multiple and they caught me off guard haha! Also didn't expect so many tide-turning Decisions in the end, certainly made the Good Ending more satisfying and well-earned.

There are issues, you'll need to tweak the game files before playing, but coming from KOTOR I'm honestly used to it. I mean it's PC Gaming. But they're overshadowed by how insanely fun this game is for such affordable price.

Another Timeless Classic. Shout out to Dunde Ultimate Mod on Nexus, greatly enhances the experience!

Criminally underrated work from Bioware.

Very good game, worth anyone's time even for just the story, combat is ok, some of the fights have nuances, otherwise you just plough through enemies.
The lore is creative and original, actually interesting.
Even though the game is old, it looks decent, and the game is somewhat open-world.

And dont worry about compatibility, there is a simple solution to make it run flawlessly. Although I recommend to limit fps to ~80, cuz high fps speeds up cloth physics

10/10

I love this game so much, but the Steam version doesn't work. Crashes constantly, despite doing the fixes outlined on the forums and steam guides. Sometimes it will crash with dialogue, sometimes when you open a menu, and sometimes immediately after saving your progress (it seems that it does still save though) Nothing truly fixes the issues for me. I hit a point where I get a persistent Crash loading one of Master Li's lines towards the end of the first stage and couldn't proceed - seriously, I spent more time reinstalling and troubleshooting than actually playing the game.

Game needs fixed and re-released, the storyline, mechanics, and (most underratedly) balance in this game are true gems and deserve to be experienced by every fan of the genre.

The game is fine, but the Steam version is all messed up. After spending good time trying to modify the game to work properly it still was running terribly. I caught wind that the GoG version was better and bought it for $3.50, and it's so much better.

Absolute garbage release. Great game but you'll have to do some work yourself if you want this to run correctly. And even if you do get into the game, you may or may not run into severe stuttering issues that render the game unplayable.

This game is unstable. You need to apply some fixes and unofficial patches from modders. There are crashes, stuttering, and some rare camera/scene issues.

Also, this game DESERVES a remake!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PURCHASING
──────────────────────
  • On a fresh install, remember to navigate to PCGamingWiki page for Jade Empire to view the issues and fixes. There, you can download and install Peixoto’s patch. From my personal experience, I just download and place the Override QueryPerformanceCounter fix for fps stuttering.
  • I’ve encountered game launch issues. To fix this, go to the game’s directory and rename the JadeEmpire.exe to JadeEmpireLauncher.exe. Remember to backup the original executable files.
  • Remember to frequently save. I very rarely encounter save corruptions. I’ve experienced strange camera and scene issues where the camera looks down from the ceiling, but that is rare.
  • This Steam version does not use Steam Cloud saving, which can be important due to the game’s Jade Master mode (new game plus) whenever you decide to replay the game.


PUBLISHER REVIEW ????‍♂️
─────────────
Electronic Arts handled the launch of this title just fine. However, I am massively disappointed that they did not care to hire some developers that’ll help maintain this game enough for it to become stable and run on modern systems over the years.

DEVELOPER REVIEW ????

ACCESSIBILITY, CONVENIENCE & OTHER REVIEW ????

  • Compared to GOG & Origin versions, this Steam version does not have cloud saving.
  • The game’s controller support is partial. I played with the Dualsense, you will have to remap the buttons through the game’s controller settings. Here’s the default button bindings:
  • [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr] [/tr]

GAME REVIEW ????
──────────
Another BioWare golden RPG game that must be played. This game is also on mobile (iOS & Android), which is a tad inferior to this PC version, but is still good. This game has become one of my favorite games, but I find the quality of quests, choices, and other features lacking compared to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games.

However, compared to the KOTORs, this game has better combat. The story, dark martial arts fantasy setting, and characters are very strong in this game. The combat is a little bit janky and clunky, but some depth opens up when you acquire many styles and some transformations. The target locking is not so bad, but I found an issue with the style switching (on the dpad) once you start collecting many of them. Having to hold one directional button when you want to use a style outside the four designated ones gets quite tedious. And the combat pause seems quite useless as it’s literally just a pause. The combat pause doesn’t allow switching styles or targets in it, and I found that to be a missed opportunity for the gameplay.

I’ll expand more on this review if I have the time. But this game should definitely be remastered to run on modern OS and ported to other platforms. Bring it back to Android. Or better yet, remake the game!

One of my favorite games of all time

How to get the game to work on windows 10:

[olist]
  • Copy the ‘steam.ddl’ file into jade empire folder.
  • Right click on the jade empire.exe go into properties->compatibility->then select run for Vista service pack 2.
  • Launch the config program and make sure your system information is correct then select ‘save settings’ with the file location as the jade empire folder itself.
  • Enjoy. :)

    A lot of people aren't able to get this working, but that's not my fault there are plenty of guides. You are young enough and should learn how to troubleshoot a PC.

    This is a fantastic game, perhaps a timeless classic. It even has a few decent mods.

    After playing this game again after a long time I’m very happy to say that it has aged really well. I was expecting an adjustment period, but the controls and gameplay mechanics felt very intuitive, and I can really see how this game is the precursor to Mass Effect. I loved how engaging the story was and it kept me feeling motivated to continue until the very end, those 20 hours flew by. The side quests added substance without making the game feeling bloated which is a nice change. In classic Bioware fashion, the characters that you meet along the way feel fleshed out and real.

    If you haven’t given this game a go yet I highly recommend it.

    How to get the game to work: copy and drop the steam.dll (from the steam directory) into the Jade Empire Game directory. For whatever reason, the game doesn’t have it when installed. I was also unable to get the game to boot up through steam and had to boot it up through the application shortcut but that is easy enough to do.

    Great game, currently going through this after mainly playing it on OG Xbox. If you are having trouble getting the game to start like i did this might help.

    1. It is not the game but the old Jade Empire launcher which does not seem to work for some people.
    2. Go to the game file and make a short cut for the actual game application not the launcher (icon is the dragon amulet).
    3. Enjoy and i hope this helps.

    If you like Bioware RPGs and Hong Kong action films, Jade Empire is for you. Yes, the game is a bit older, but it scratches an itch few other western games even try for, and it does it very competently. What I'm especially impressed by is how well Bioware captured the feel of Wuxia and Kung Fu films, from the pacing to the sorts of characters encountered to the themes and especially the humor. The game is much more streamlined than other Bioware titles like KotOR or Dragon Age: Origins. On the one hand, this allows you to focus on mastering the combat system and the essentials, but on the other hand, you do sort of wish the overall game was bigger. If Dragon Age: Origins feels like a thousand page fantasy epic, Jade Empire feels like a two hour movie (and that's not a bad thing at all). Jade Empire does boast a fun combat system that fits the world and offers depth for those who want it without demanding you master all its complexities. The characters all have lots of personality, and the plot and environments really draw you in.

    My biggest gripes with the game is not the graphics (which aren't great, but do their job just fine). No, it's how party member dialogue is managed. If you don't talk to your party members often, you'll not be able to finish all their dialogue.

    Overall, very much recommended. It's got fun gameplay, beautiful environments to explore, good humor, and a good plot and characters. Not perfect, not super ambitious, but well worth the time.

    Preface:
    Me: Gamer in their 30’s. Playing Jade Empire for the first time. Purchased when highly discounted.

    This is a game that had I played it 10-12 years ago I might have taken to it more than I have today. That way if I ever replayed it, I might be playing it with rose-tinted glasses, having more than just a game to play but also a time period to remember, a person I used to be.

    But playing Jade Empire for the first time in 2021 is not that. It is purposely subjecting myself to some pretty jank battle systems and a pretty meh storyline. I’ll expand on those after I give my props.

    I have to say that in some ways I did enjoy the game. It never really felt like it was too long. In some ways, it feels very akin to the original Witcher, another game that hasn’t aged too gracefully. The way the story is structured, the various fighting styles, the third person angle. I wonder if some of the same people might have worked on both games.

    In terms of environments, there’s something to enjoy here. We don’t see something nearly as immersive as the worlds of modern games, but for the time the art assets are pretty decent. And the game does seem to offer one the choice to join the dark side (or closed fist) if you will. I chose the way of the open palm (the light side).

    My story revolved around me, the chosen one, chosen by the heavens to rise up and face the evil plaguing the land. It’s all very rudimentary good vs evil if you’re playing the good guy. Which makes me wonder what the game would have been like if I’d chosen the dark side. But as the game really didn’t rivet me the first time around, I doubt that it would a second go around.

    [spoiler] Now there comes a point in the story where some might say a clever twist occurs. But I would call it a juvenile twist. Primarily because we see how Sun Li the great strategist fights from the very beginning. There’s no reason why he would just send off his student to do his dirty work when he is clearly the superior fighter. If anything, he would guide his students towards a goal.

    The story would have been so much better served if Sun Li stuck around with the crew, grew insecure at the Monk’s growing power and then with some foreshadowing, decides to stab you in the back out of pure fear for your growing power.

    The way the story actually works out is Sun Li just waits around at the palace for you to somehow get there and do his dirty work of killing his brother and then he just kills you.

    And yes, then the story does this weird thing of letting you come back to life like Jesus. Why? No idea. Your death doesn’t really seem to serve any necessary purpose to defeat Sun Li. Just some more padding to the game I guess.

    Honestly though, Sun Li’s didn’t need to kill you. Sun Li could have ruled with your support… He could have had peace. He could have had prosperity. These are things I want too. It just doesn’t make sense for the “Grand Strategist” to kill you other than to say “Hey! Look how clever our twist is. You’ll never see this coming!” Meh. [/spoiler]

    As for the combat, it’s just way too exploitable. Get rod, use single attack and move toward opponent, basically stun locking them to death. The game gives you the ability to turn into a giant unstoppable golem that beats every boss after that with ease. (Except the two elephants and bulls, for that I had to use the horse demon form to kill them from a distance).

    I was hoping for something like Baldur’s gate but set in a Chinese mythological world. But instead I got a very poor 3rd person action game that kind of played like a disney movie. Honestly, I don’t think this game failed solely due to the xenophobic attitudes of the West. It just isn’t very good.

    But credit where it’s due. I enjoyed myself somewhat. I would probably be willing to give this game a slight recommendation if it’s on sale. Otherwise, stay away.

    Welp. Dissapointing. Took like 6 troubleshooting steps to get the game to run. After that, you discover that the movement is not fluid what-so-ever. Regardless of settings or system capabilities. It's extremely choppy, to the point of unplayability, and it's not even close to a good representation of the original game. A total loss, but at least it was a loss of less than $4....

    Don't let nostalgia blind you. I loved the original Jade Empire back in the day on the Xbox, but this port's controls and production values are absolute ass. I had zero fun and was bored quickly. Pick up an original copy and an old Xbox on ebay or something if you're absolutely bent on going back to the game.

    Tried 3 different ways to get the game to run, adding Steam.dll to its file, changing compatibility options, and even ran the config & launcher as administrator (with previous changes applied) and while the launcher opens, it fails to run a configuration and it closes itself instantly.

    I bought this game, a game that is not playable, and I am unable to get a refund.

    Fuck you, devs. You ruined my chance at nostalgia, to relive this game over a decade later, and you stole from me.

    Customers, do not buy this game.

    Information / Review English



    Jade Empire ™: Special Edition is an action role-playing game developed by Bioware.

    Story / Gameplay



    The game world is modeled on medieval China, to which many fantasy and some steampunk elements such as magic and flying devices have been added. While the main story is always the same, different solutions and options result in minor differences in detail. The story of the player character is gradually revealed. At the beginning he is in the idyllic martial arts school Zwei Ströme (also: Zwei Rüsse), led by the strict paternal master Li. The village is attacked and airships bomb the huts until everything is in ruins. Master Li is kidnapped. As the last living spirit monk, the player sets out to look for him.

    At the beginning of the campaign, the player selects his character from six suggestions or creates his own, which he controls through the game world in a third-person view. In the course of the plot you meet a number of characters who join the game character on their journey and are all equipped with their own backstory. Some of them also bring a personal side quest. During the game, the player can only take a companion with him to assist him in the battles. The rest of the companions wait at a camp site where you can talk to all of your followers. In certain parts of the game you also have the opportunity to control some of them directly. Unlike previous role-playing games from BioWare, the game uses a pure real-time combat system. A new feature for BioWare is the high degree of interaction between the characters in combat - the player wields the sword or fist with the mouse himself. The player character is driven by the derived attributes of health, chi (magical energy) and focus (concentration). There is essentially a normal and strong attack and a method of blocking. Compared to the current competition, this is quite easy overall. Character development and equipment is kept simple compared to the D&D games. However, the game offers over thirty martial arts. The manual goes into things like magic styles, weapon, transformation, support magic, and fast and normal fighting styles. With dragon amulets and essence jewels you can fine-tune the player's character dynamically at runtime. The progress of the avatar takes place via experience points. Saving is possible at any time.

    Information / Review Deutsch



    Jade Empire™: Special Edition ist ein Action-Rollenspiel welches von Bioware entwickelt wurde.

    Geschichte / Gameplay



    Die Spielwelt ist dem mittelalterlichen China nachempfunden, dem viele Fantasy- und einige Steampunk-Elemente wie Magie und Fluggeräte zugesetzt wurden. Während die Haupthandlung stets die gleiche ist, ergeben sich durch unterschiedliche Lösungswege und Optionen im Detail kleinere Unterschiede. Die Geschichte des Spielercharakters enthüllt sich schrittweise. Er befindet sich zu Beginn in der idyllischen Kampfsportschule Zwei Ströme (auch: Zwei Flüsse), geleitet von dem väterlich-strengen Meister Li. Das Dorf wird angegriffen, und Flugschiffe bombardieren die Hütten, bis alles in Trümmern liegt. Meister Li wird entführt. Als letzter lebender Geistermönch macht sich der Spieler auf, ihn zu suchen.

    Zu Beginn der Kampagne wählt der Spieler aus sechs Vorschlägen seine Spielfigur aus oder erstellt sich eine eigene, die er in einer Third-Person-Ansicht durch die Spielwelt steuert. Im Verlauf der Handlung trifft man eine Reihe von Charakteren, die sich der Spielfigur auf ihrer Reise anschließen und alle mit einer eigenen Hintergrundgeschichte ausgestattet sind. Teilweise bringen diese auch eine persönliche Nebenquest mit. Während des Spieles kann der Spieler lediglich einen Gefährten mitnehmen, der ihm in den Kämpfen zur Seite steht. Die restlichen Begleiter warten an einem Lagerplatz, wo man sich mit allen Gefolgsleuten unterhalten kann. In bestimmten Abschnitten des Spiels hat man auch Gelegenheit, einige von ihnen direkt zu steuern. Das Spiel nutzt, anders als vorherige Rollenspiele von BioWare, ein reines Echtzeitkampfsystem. Eine Neuerung für BioWare ist der hohe Interaktionsgrad der Figuren im Kampf – der Spieler führt das Schwert bzw. Faust mit der Maus selbst. Antrieb des Spielercharakters sind die abgeleiteten Attribute Gesundheit, Chi (magische Energie) und Fokus (Konzentration). Es gibt im Wesentlichen einen normalen und starken Angriff und eine Methode des Blockens. Im Vergleich zur aktuellen Konkurrenz gestaltet sich dies insgesamt recht einfach. Charakterentwicklung und Ausrüstung ist im Vergleich zu den D&D-Spielen einfach gehalten. Das Spiel bietet aber über dreißig Kampfkünste. Das Handbuch geht auf Dinge ein wie Magiestile, Waffen-, Transformations-, Unterstützungsmagie und schnelle und normale Kampfstile. Mit Drachenamuletten und Essenzjuwelen kann man den Spielercharakter dynamisch zur Laufzeit feineinstellen. Das Vorankommen des Avatars vollzieht sich über Erfahrungspunkte. Abspeichern ist jederzeit möglich.

    Pro



    + epische und brutale Geschichte
    + unverbrauchtes und glaubwürdiges Szenario
    + bezaubernde asiatische Kulisse
    + interessante Rätsel & Rededuelle
    + taktisches Echtzeit-Kampfsystem
    + geniales Figurendesign
    + interessante Quests und Dialoge
    + Steuerung die gut von der Hand geht

    Kontra



    - Geschichte wird schnell enthüllt
    - alle Charaktere spielen sich gleich
    - Moralsystem kennt man schon

    Fazit



    Jade Empire™: Special Edition bietet dir ein mittelalterliches China, welches in einer brutalen Epoche spielt und so manches Geheimnis und Geschichte offenbart. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

    Aged pretty damn well (once you finally get past the steam launcher issue). Some good writing in the side quests, combat isn't repetitive due to having a ton of fighting styles at your disposal, simple but solid main story. unsure what Special Edition adds on top of the base game as I never played the original but I've little to no complaints either way. If you buy it, REMEMBER TO OPEN THE GAME FROM THE GAME FOLDER, NOT THROUGH STEAM.

    Story is really good, and side quest. RPG mechanics are good. Combat though is terrible no matter the setting. If youre stupid like me and try to do everything on grandmaster, youll want to pull your ear drums out. You will be sitting infront of a guy attacking, attacks clearly going through, but he hits you with less range? If enemies are on a slight LIKE an inch decline, you flat out will never hit them. These areas with declines usually have invisible walls, so the only way to fight is downward or get surrounded by 5 people. Some enemies have cheese mechanics that if you do not dodge their first strike they will some times RNG keep knocking you down till youre dead.

    If you are smart and not like me, you will just lower your setting to master at least, I've had to do it a few times. Mostly due to un skippable cutscenes before boss fights. I can see why they didnt use this engine again for real time combat LOL. Because it was trash at it. Keep in mind oblivion came out a year later, and KORTOR morrowind came out 3 years prior and does a better job at combat. And both oblivion and morrowinds combat is kinda trash (even though morrowind is my favorite game).

    The story and RPG mechanics are fun though. And if you dont want the cheesiest hard setting on planet earth, do your self a favor and play at most on master. Imagine playing this game on the HARDEST setting, I would actually go insane. Im glade they locked it off till after you beat the game, because I am stubborn and would try to beat the game on that. I think enemies attack faster and stuff on harder settings, so this means they will cheese lock you into a flinched or downed state if you get RNG'd. I'll never understand how people actually defend the combat, for 2005 it is terrible, it feels like a bad PS1 game with its combat. BUT it is bioware so the story and RPG fun is there which makes it worth it.

    Im writing this, because I googled if this game is worth it and holds up in 2020+ and everyone says yes... They are flat out wrong on the combat side of things as this game doesnt even hold up to morrowinds combat, morrowind hits are more consistent. Let alone IT DEF does not hold up to games like yakuza which came out around the same time.

    Also, you need to after spending money fix this game for the developers. On steam it flat out will 100% of the time not work till you mess with the files. If you want not caped 30fps, you need to mess with files. If you dont want the game to crash every 2 seconds, you need the 4gb patch. I've never had to do so much work on a game in my life to make it run. It flat out is a scam if you dont know what to do, as you pay for a product that doesnt work. I see people defending this cuz it is an old game, that is BS. because most older games run well. Like I played fucking TES daggerfall, and had zero issues with that game, besides that it hurts your eyes to play :^) Only other games I've needed to do a lot of work on, to keep it from crashing and stuff a lot are other bioware games. It is kind of a pattern with bioware on PC. They dont fix their games they release on steam. Although you pay them money, so it is kind of their job to fix it other wise it will be considered a scam. They should at the very least put a disclaimer that customers need to fix the game their selves. THEN it wouldnt be a scam, it would just be lazy. Right now it is a scam and lazy, even if you can fix it your self.

    Edit;
    I wouldnt be complaining about the combat if it didnt have so much BS I cant control. It is one thing if the game is hard, and hit boxes are not broken. But it is another when you get creatures that have small hands, that hit you from the same range as you with a weapon. But your attacks just go through them. Like when the game isnt having these issues, it is perfectly fine combat wise, but this issues arise FAR TOO often. Plus the game on master is far too easy, so the only mostly fun way for me to play is on grandmaster, but it just has random Bullshit parts in it that I dont want to deal with after several deaths. Like un skippable cut scenes that have the auto saves BEFORE the cut scene NOT after. It blows my mind that this got past testing. Like they could have just fixed the hit boxes, by making it so your character can like hit up or down... they only can hit straight. Like youre this god like spirit monk, and you can only tunnel vision hit straight forward, like BRUH.
    The game on grandmaster isnt all that hard, till the bullshit happens that is what makes it very hard.

    First thing first, buy this on GOG. That version works straight off without needing to tune anything and the forums here have some people who never actually get it to work.

    The game itself is such a weird gem in Bioware's library that sticks out like a sore thumb. It's all built off the KOTOR engine, which is as janky as you probably remember it. It's really forced into being made an action game this time instead and that kind of goes how you expect. How unique this idea was pre-Arkham Asylum helped make it seem a lot smoother than it would appear nowadays. I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but it's very dated. That said, you are probably going to be here for the story and it does draw you in. It does a good job of rolling everything out and letting you get explanations on things without forcing you to go deep in a codex to read details on everything. Keep an eye out for scrolls and talk to named characters, and you will get a great idea of what's going on. The world is they built is so unique and different than the traditional fantasy games you normally play (which hey, I love those too). It's a rushed game though and it draws to a close rather quickly once you pass a certain story mark. It ends up being very linear after you get to the most open part of the game. Overall though, go play it! It's a fascinating little game that broke Bioware out of the mold you normally see them in.

    BioWare's underrated classic that no one really discusses anymore, sadly. One of the most interesting fantasy universes in Western RPGs, with a fantastic cast of characters, one of the best in any RPG of the era, which is no small feat. The only thing that brings me down is the sequel that BioWare was discussing all those years ago never got off the ground, and certainly never will at this point.

    I do recommend changing up the controls if you're using a controller (which you should), and the port is less than great on PC. But if you can get it to run well and want an RPG that eschews the medieval aesthetic, with an engaging story and fun combat, you've found it here.

    Having not played this game since its original release, I was skeptical that it wouldn't hold up but it's still so much fun revisiting this from the Bioware of old! Playing this in Feb 2021, did some quick controller remapping (Xbox One Controller) and it is fine. Having a blast playing it and highly recommend picking it up if you are into this sort of RPG (especially Bioware type games of the era). Cheers

    I got this game on Steam sale along with KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2, thought I had played with KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 from back in the days of the original Xbox I however never got to play Jade Empire. This being my first play though of a game made over 15 years I can say this is one of the best RPG's with no risk of being blinded by nostalgia I have played in a long time, easily on the level of Mass Effect, Fallout or Dragon Age with an unique setting that is unlike any other RPG developed by a western studio, epic story, great character progression and if a little jankey a deeply rewarding and fleshed out combat system regardless

    I first had this game on the original Xbox and played it to absolute death. Saw it was on sale on here so thought I may as well pick it back up on here since I no longer have my Xbox copy. I recommend this game for the story, the characters, the OST... But I don't fully recommend this port of Jade Empire for several of reasons;
    - the launcher that ships with Steam is broken, you have to fiddle with files, copy things over and make a shortcut of the game's .exe to bypass the broken launcher/config menu. Bit of a faff, but at least the game is playable when you've done that.
    -Many graphical and audio issues. Sound sometimes bugs out when I'm playing, and similarly with visuals I've noticed that the game is jerky in areas. It doesn't affect gameplay, but the jittering screen is a little bit irritating to have to deal with.

    I understand that this is an old game and old games tend to run less than perfect, but I've played games from the mid-90s on PC that run better than this port and it's a real shame as this game is incredible to play. I absolutely still would say to anyone to get this game when it's on sale, but to buy it at full price considering some people haven't been able to get it to run due to the bugged launcher and config menu is a reach.

    My issue is that I do enjoy this game. One of my favorite rpg games. however any game that you would spend money on should work without you having to watch hours of videos and trying to figure out how to even get the game to work. this was not only a huge let down but a waste of money. as much as i love this game i can not recommend anyone spend money on it unless steam can give a proper version that launches correctly since there is no refund policy.

    how to get the game to work on windows 10:

    Copy the ‘steam.ddl’ file into jade empire folder.

    Right click on the jade empire.exe go into properties->compatibility->then select run for Vista service pack 2.

    A broken port of a good game



    [strike] Its perfect. No problems here. [/strike]
    [spoiler] Psyche! Launching this game is totally broken on windows 10, and the game itself is filled with graphical bugs and audio errors. Its times like this where I wish steam would deny developers the ability to publish games on steam if it can't launch properly on common modern hardware. [/spoiler]

    If you are playing on windows 10
    First thing to do is ignore all other posts about getting the game to work.
    Find your steam folder, and look for the steam.dll in the root. copy that. Copy and paste that into your jade empire folder with the exe and launcher which can be done by opening steam and right clicking the game.
    What you first need to do after that is run the launcher. Once you have successfully done that, click the config option.
    it will crash. This is normal. You need to do this for the fix to work properly
    After it has crashed, open up steam. Right Click Jade Empire and open its folder.
    Find the Jade Empire ini file. Usually titled JadeEmpire.ini and paste the following at the top of the file below [Render]. If your ini doesn't have this, don't worry,

    Widescreen=0
    ScrW=640
    ScrH=480

    click file>save.

    Now go to your desktop and delete steams Jade Empire exe.
    Go back to the folder, right click the JadeEmpire.exe and send it to desktop. Do not do this for the launcher or config file, and do not attempt to run it from the launcher or else you're gonna have to manually add those again.

    Congratulations. You have successfully figured out how to launch the game. You may configure it as you please in the options menu

    So now that; that issue is out of the way.

    Jade Empire. Is it good?
    No

    Is it satisfying, and story rich?
    Yes

    This game is dripping with a good story. Too bad its honestly not worth playing. Its a real shame too because I have great fond memories of it. Too bad Bioware and EA have decided to swindle me with an awful port barely fixable with mods. I can deal with the graphical glitches. Surprisingly the cut scenes look great at 16;9. However the character models in game look god awful at that aspect ratio. My biggest gripe has to be the audio problems, and since I have different results in what constitutes as audio problems on two different machines. I'm assuming the audio in this game, is an anomaly, and since I don't have knowledge of the supernatural, or intelligent enough developer/publishers/porters to fix the problems I can't recommend the game when speech is either outright none existent, or sped up on occasion. The game is natively capped at 30fps but can be fixed by going into the ini and changing clampfps=1 to 0. Which is a simple enough fix and would probably be doable without going into an ini if bioware or EA cared enough to actually fix the config utility and launcher. In my 3 hours of time I've thoroughly enjoyed my audio glitch induced nightmare, only experiencing two crashes. Its functional but I'm not the kind of person to settle for functional. I want working as intended, and if this is working as intended to the devs/porters then I'm sorry. you're doing an awful job.

    I give this game a Risen 2 out of 10

    This is an old school bioware game so expect great characters and an engaging story. Steam version is buggy in places but this can be fixed by reloading... several times if needed. Would have loved a non-direct sequel as I thoughly enjoyed the world, music and combat system; sadly the time for that has passed. Higher difficulties are challenging, if cheesable. A+.

    It is possible to make this game function. It is surprisingly easy, so please don't disregard the game from the beginning, just because it's an old game, that isn't working too well with steam. I know it should have been dealt with when the game got on steam, but at least you don't have to download a bunch of patches just to gain the intended gaming experience.
    I already have a physical copy lying somewhere in a box, but didn't want to look for it, because it does not agree with my laptop. This version does, even if it doesn't agree with steam itself (it is possible, there is a guide. though JadeEmpire.exe didn't like me, at least TestApp.exe did).
    I have loved this game since before I understood english, and even tried the game a slightly bit back then. I disliked the fighting, and know now that I made an accidental closed fist action.
    Went back when I understood english, and actually completed the game. Still got my old record of about 7 hours stuck in my head, because I got annoyed with myself for enjoying the game too much, and forgetting that I was trying to be fast.
    Now, I am playing again, and realising that I missed so much enjoyable content, while loving the same old things.

    Jade Empire is a hidden gem among Bioware's game library. The effort they put in this game that originally came out on the Xbox Original was a perfect example of a time when video game companies focused more on delivering a masterpiece to gamers instead of being pressured to publish an unpolished product. They studied asian cultures to create a harmonic and spiritual world whose balance has been destroyed due to one man's greed. The characters are fun to interact with and have rich backstories that influence their choices. It it always a pleasure to get to know them during your adventure. They are not your typical companions: one is a mad scientist, one is a scrawny wine supplier that is hiding from his wife, another little girl possessed by two demons, a handsome thief and human trafficker hunter and several more. The music is beautiful and clearly inspired by the East. They fit perfectly with the environment and fills you with dread, happiness, excitement, etc. The only downside to this game is the low difficulty level. Even on max, there are only two or three instances where the level becomes very hard; the rest is a breeze. The game is obviously aged a little badly, but it still is an excellent RPG to play. Many have missed this game and it's a real shame because I found it better than Dragon Age and Mass Effect. It saddens me that a sequel to this game was cancelled after EA's acquisition and I hope they reconsider that decision or remake this game. It deserve more recognition.

    Though this game shows his years, it is also still a lot of fun. The gameplay is still enjoyable and the combat is unique enough. The setting is distinctive and reacts to your choices. The story has a twist or two and is rather nice overall.
    It can be clunky at times, but I certainly enjoyed it.
    Check it out, and you won't regret it.

    I've just finished the game for the first time, and it was an absolute delight. The fighting mechanics were unique (at least to me), and it had the usual Bioware charms (at least, the good writing and fun characters of old Bioware times). Definitely one to pick up and play!

    In my mind, Jade Empire is tied with KOTOR for the best Bioware game ever made. It's a crime that EA hasn't at least remastered this game or remade it with a better engine for the fighting mechanics. It's weird that they'd choose to remaster Kingdom of Amalur and not this game, but oh well. EA is gonna EA. At least this version of the game still works and holds up super well.

    Also, pay no mind to negative reviews saying the game doesn't work. Don't try to launch the game via Steam. Just run the game from the .exe in its install location. Run it as administrator if you have to, but it works perfectly that way.

    Tell me the names of five Bioware games. I’ll dare you that you will not write the name of this game on the list. Why? It’s the forgotten one. A product of a forgotten era.

    Jade Empire it’s the black sheep son of the beginning of the second western rpg golden age. The son in the middle, born after and before masterpieces. Less inspired, with a relative niche target.

    It’s an action rpg, with a frenetic combat system. Can appear difficult in the beginning but it’s just tricky, a little unwieldy, simple after some hours of play.

    The plot embraces a wide variety of themes and types from Chinese mythology. Like almost all the Bioware games you’ll start as a young hero with a foggy past. After some trouble, you’ll be thrown into a hero's journey involving palace intrigue and supernatural mysteries.


    Intrigued?



    PROS



    Zitat:

    • Gameplay style, it’s pure action-based, you have to switch between a huge list of different fighting styles, spells and weapons. You can dodge jumping like a frog on the combat arenas, you can parry the enemies attacks, you can activate a bullet-time (slowing the gameplay time) to punch the foes faster. It’s frenetic. It’s amazing.
    • Story is well written and follows some of the most famous Asian legends and tales. The plot follows a screenplay that looks taken from a mix of fantasy, steampunk and kung fu movie. Like a light burden, all the dialogue brings a heavy legacy of eastern philosophy.
    • Talking about graphic the models were the vanguard for the era. Overall the game and the world-building is colourful, incredibly fluid and strongly inspired by the context.
    • Like all the Bioware games all the dialogues are dubbed by professionals. I had serious problems to recognise the same voice actor dubbing the different npc during my play. Like always they choose people with a great experience.
    • Speaking of the soundtrack and the overall sound quality both are great giving us a piece of special zen music and atmosphere.

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2202677722



    CONS



    Zitat:

    • The story so far feels like a tale that has been told to death. It’s really slow to start and it became engaging only around the middle of it. All the world-building and the plot is filled with the most common stereotypes about Chinese culture and kung fu movies. It’s nice at the beginning, in annoying at the end. Overall the story starts boring, then it takes hours and hours to get interesting and in the end, the tedious plot becomes obvious. The world-building isn’t always inspired, some areas are beautiful but most of them are ugly and empty of content, filled with trees, small buildings, statues, grass and flowers out of space, just to fill empty spaces.
    • Very linear and focused story. Zero narrative freedom, you are taken from an area to another with very little opportunity for side trips or a shuffling of destinations. You have to do all the side quests between a chapter and another. The good/bad side of character development goes around rhetorical answer in dialogue and fake moral choices. Overall the plot gives you fake turning point and crossroads, the difference between good and bad is minimal and important only in the end. You can play all the game being good and make the most horrible choices in the end, the side doesn’t matter, you just have some different combat styles.
    • Companions are kind of useless and uninspired, your character is a war machine and the party is useful only in “support mode”. In “attack mode” they are punching bags and the damage they do is zero. Storywise you have more than ten companions, only three have an interesting subplot and personality. It’s a huge lack of immersion and engaging side for the title.
    • All the npc, companions and boss as well, have a dumb AI, the gameplay is to easy if you learn how to defeat each enemy with the different styles. Overall the worldbuilding is poor around the npc, you have an army of cloned model inside and outside the cities. All with the same faces, some of them with the same clothing on.
    • Three things I really hated are the plane minigame, it kills the immersion, it’s useless on in the story and not engaging, the cut scene made with the graphic engine but with the 800x600 resolution, totally useless, the fake Chinese/Asian language that the npc speaks sometimes. I know it’s a budget side choice but it’s terrible to listen and to interact.
    • From the bug side, in my walkthrough I discovered only an annoying one. A lot of times the camera get crazy and gets outside the view of the player. You can’t see where you are or where are you going. If you save by mistake the bug carries on the save, if you load it happens again. The only way to “fix it” is to get out of the area and load it again.

    JUDGEMENT


    Zitat:


    Despite all the cons sides and the flaws, we have to remember that this is a 2005 game. I can’t lie, my hopes were never that high. Jade Empire is a remarkable RPG but probably the worst Bioware made in the 2000s. Has some high, a lot of lows, a plot that doesn’t catch, some forgettable characters, an enjoyable combat system, an inspired world-building and a huge legacy. Take it as it is, an old goldie that each rpg fan needs to play ones in his/her life. Today with a total remake and rewriting Jade Empire could become the masterpiece Bioware needs to take back the throne of western rpg. For now, it’s just an old bittersweet memory.

    System Specifications


    Zitat:


    The game was played on a PC with the following components:

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

    Never have I been so torn on whether to recommend a game or not.

    Jade Empire is a fantastic experience. It is a spiritual followup to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic with similar character skill advancements and morality system. The game is an action RPG with morality choices throughout the story.

    The story is set in a mythical eastern land with heavy influences from Chinese culture. The player takes the role of the Spirit Monk - a talented fighter raised and trained in a small village under the watchful eye of Master Li. When the Spirit Monk's village is attacked by the Lotus Assassins and the Monk meets the spirit of the Water Dragon, the Spirit Monk sets off on a journey to rescue his master and free the Water Dragon so that the spirits of the dead may once again return to the underworld. Along their journey, the Spirit Monk will assemble a team of varied personalities to fight with them as they explore several mystical areas.

    Fans of RPG's will likely enjoy Jade Empire. Bioware did excellent work with the RPG genre during this era of video games, and Jade Empire is another fine example of Bioware's potential. The game is fifteen years old, so it is not the most visually stunning game on the market. However, its superb story, battle system, and character interaction are timeless. Jade Empire is highly recommended to any RPG fan.

    Unfortunately, this PC port does not run well on later operating systems. Many will find the game completely unplayable. For most, there are fixes - albeit very tedious ones. I was fortunately able to apply a fix on my Windows 10 system and play this piece of video game history. Others may not be as lucky.

    Ultimately, I do recommend Jade Empire for Steam. I do so only because one could get a refund if the game cannot be made to work properly. If it can be made to work, then I cannot recommend the game highly enough.

    Jade Empire is actually a great game! Do not let the its age fool you.

    The main gripe I see in the reviews is the game is unable to launch. On Windows 10, I was able to get it to work perfectly by copying the Steam.dll into the Jade Empire folder. I made a shortcut to the launcher on my desktop to avoid launching it through Steam which could cause the launch to fail.

    Now I was able to play the game! It takes a little while to get used to the combat, but once I figured out how it worked and that it wasn't like KOTOR, it was very rewarding. You can choose different martial styles and get weapons to fight with. The weapons are actually styles in and of themselves which you can level up just like all the other martial styles.

    The story is great and the Chinese Empire theme creates a nice atmosphere. There is a bit of lore here and there you can find throughout the game, but you can simply choose to ignore it and progress the story.

    In short, it's a really good game at a decent price. It is old so expect the graphics to be...well, old. I think the game is well worth it, especially if you enjoyed KOTOR's style. It just has a different theme and combat system.

    TLDR: The game works. Paste the Steam.dll in the Jade Empire folder and run it from a desktop shortcut (as administrator if need be).

    The Steam version of this game is unplayable. You cannot launch the game at all without notepad editing files, tricking your system into open blank files, copy/pasting DLL files, or download random files from the internet. Even when the game eventually launched, it ran at below 15 frames per second — practically unplayable.

    These issues are widely reported across all users, but no consensus fixes.

    One of the most underrated and underappreciated RPG games I've ever played. This game is one of Bioware's gems of the past. It's a mixture of action and a RPG game.

    Story: 9/10 (Good story, a lot of twists and turns. Side quests are fun to do.)

    Combat: 9/10 (Considering that the game came out in 2005, the combat is very fun with a variety of combat techniques at your disposal. I didn't like the mini-games within the game, but you can skip most of them.)

    Graphics: 8/10 (Beautiful world. The graphics aren't anything special but for it's time it's pretty decent.)

    Soundtrack: 9/10 (Loved the soundtrack within the game. It added great immersion to my gaming experience.)

    Recommend? Most definite. If you've played the other great gems of Bioware of Old then you must play Jade Empire it's a must.

    The most underrated Bioware classic is also the most unique and creative. From pulling a plot and setting from ancient Chinese myth and folklore, to the very fresh martial arts infused combat system, Bioware hasn't really done anything this unique since this game came out 15 or so years ago. That's not to say they haven't made good games, but generic sci-fi games were a dime a dozen even when the first Mass Effect came out, as were generic Fantasy when Dragon Age launched. Again, those are both exceptional games, but where are all the Mythological Chinese martial arts RPGs?

    In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#204 out of 555)... it's time for Jade Empire.

    Jade Empire is very nearly one of my favorite WsRPGs. In some other, better alternate universe, where Jade Empire had twice the budget and significantly more development time, perhaps it is. Sadly, in our dismal reality, Jade Empire is merely very good: an excellent blend of wuxia-style martial arts adventure an conventional modern WsRPG mechanics (think companions with lots of banter, plenty of sidequests and a fair bit of narrative reactivity). It's also noteworthy for its profoundly compelling mythology and excellent story arc.

    That said, it's a short game. There's really only three major locations to visit, including a small village and the capital city where the final act of the game occurs. For such an expansive setting in-lore, it's a shame we only get to see a small sliver. Far from being a Jade Empire, the land we visit feels more like a small district. And then there's my personal favorite aspect of the game: heaven. Inspired rather nakedly by Chinese culture and mythology, at one point in the game you get to (briefly) visit the heavens and interact with deities. And it's incredible! But it only occurs once, and I spent the entire rest of the game hoping for a recurrence.

    And that's really the big problem with Jade Empire: it ends. Abruptly. About 20 hours before I expected it to, based on prior Bioware titles like Knights of the Old Republic, and subsequent titles like Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect. Jade Empire is, perhaps, the most evocative and imaginative of the post-Amn Bioware catalog, yet it seems as though they lacked confidence in the concept, and hurriedly rushed it to market before it was quite complete. Still, in spite of these shortcomings, Jade Empire manages to bring its tale to a satisfying and complete conclusion, offering adequate closure for most of the companions and subplots. Just be prepared: it's going to leave you desperately wanting for more by the end, and it's very unlikely we'll ever see a sequel.

    Note: the Steam version has several compatibility issues with modern hardware. I highly recommend you try the GOG version instead, which runs perfectly in my experience.

    Terrible Port of a Great game!

    First of all I had to use two fan made patches for the game to run properly.
    The gog exe so that the cursor will appear and the stutter fix patch.

    Everything was fine until I reached the Imperial city and then there is a problem with my saves. I can no longer save my progress. Spent days to find a fix and tried everything but it still could not save.

    Pretty pissed off because I lost all my progress and I can't be bothered anymore.

    Jade Empire takes place in a fantastical setting inspired by Chinese mythology and Chinese culture that simply begs to be dived into (it is sad to think that we will likely never see a sequel). The voice acting is top notch, the characters are among the best that both Bioware and the video game industry have created, from the unsure but passionate Dawn Star, to the crass, violence-loving, drunkard, Black Whirlwind.

    The music is good as always, and I really thought the control scheme was good, I enjoyed the fighting (although the game controler support leaves quite a bit to be desired but the option is nice). The mini-games are fun. However, the version of this game does suffer from some crippling bugs, which I was able to cheese my way around, but yeah, it still hampers the experience.

    Even with the bugs, I still enjoyed the experience, it was the writing that I take most issue with. It's not that the writing is bad, in fact the writing is mostly good, building a rising and intertwining story that absorbs you into it's world, and pulls off an almost flawless twist reminiscent of KotOR. The only problem is that this beautifully woven story falters as you approach the end. The game offers from the beginning that either way (open palm/closed fist) are a valid way to traverse the game's moral choices, but in the end it devolves into good/bad archetypes, which wouldn't have been a problem if they had set up the moral choices that way from the beginning. The ending is lack-luster (especially one particular ending), but not to pre-DLC Mass Effect 3 levels of bad. Even then, most of the ending could have been fixed with some simple cutscenes with our companions instead of just getting an impersonal block of text for each one of these characters that we have been journeying with for 20-30 hours.

    In the end, Jade Empire is a nice reminder of the fun, inspiring, enjoyable games Bioware used to make, but it also carries a bit of a warning about the future that Bioware would become. If you are able to deal with the bugs, and can handle a bit of a letdown of an ending, this is still a good game to sink your time into.

    A true gem. A super interesting and fairly unique combat system. however as far as rpgs go it's fairly short. but it makes up for it with stunning locals and story that feels very epic.
