“作为一款肉鸽DBG,《降妖散记》的水墨画风、精美的立绘以及降妖题材可以说非常合乎国人玩家的胃口,高质量的BGM也是一大加分项。和同类型的其他游戏相比,本作的上手难度不高,前期关卡的游戏体验更加爽快,构筑的大体思路也很容易理解和掌握。与此同时,本作的策略性并没有因为上手门槛的友好而降低,三个特性迥异的职业区分度很高,各自的构筑策略都很有深度,流派是比较丰富的,而行动力机制上的创新进一步增加了策略性。”

About This Game

Inkbrush & Blade — A Journey Through Mystic China

When spirits roam and legends come alive, only a true cultivator can restore balance.

As a lone Yao Hunter, wield blade and spell to cleanse a world where ancient demons awaken and forgotten myths take shape.

Step into a hand-painted realm inspired by Chinese folklore — a living scroll of monsters, miracles, and martial arts.

Every choice writes a legend. Every battle bends fate.

Choose Your Path: Become a Legendary Yao Hunter

Mo San – A warrior from the  Yao-Slaying Bureau, carrying a cursed blade thirsts  blood.
He channels his rage into raw power — but with every cut, the blade hungers more.

How long before it devours him whole?

Chuan – A Taoist with a bamboo-fire sword and a pouch full of dangerous inventions.
He may look frail, but his bullets are blessed with talismanic magic.

His homemade weapons  "Bamboo Bombard" — turn spiritual alchemy into explosive justice.

A-Zi – A prodigy witch from the southern Miao tribes, bonded with the poisons of the wild.
She commands a legion of venomous insects and conjures ancient hexes passed down through bloodlines. To fight her is to fight the jungle itself.

Ao Yu – A young dragon-descendant learning to command the storm.
With mastery over wind, fire, thunder, and rain, she dances on the edge of control.

But when her human form shatters... the dragon within awakens.
