How to play Bungmyeong on Mac

Game summary

Bungmyeong takes place in ancient China and tells the story of the adopted son of two legendary swords fighters, who leaves their secluded home in the mountains to discover his true origins. Despite being developed in Korea, the game conveys the typical Chinese Wuxia atmosphere quite well with its oriental music and a graphics style that would look hideous in most other contexts with its low-end plastic doll render sprites, but here it just fits together perfectly. Gameplay follows the standard Final Fantasy formula with random battles and ATB combat, although not without some unique twists. There's a cryptic healing item system based on a characters Yin/Yang alignment and more elaborate combat placement settings than is usual for the genre. Dungeons tend to be a bit on the dull side, with lots of same looking rooms and hallways. The game is almost comically incompletable: Very early on, it just stops unlocking new areas and instead respawns the same boss over again each time his lair is entered.

Play Bungmyeong on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Bungmyeong on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
