How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will feature all five chapters with unique enemies, diverse environments, and intense boss battles that challenge the player. Additionally, players will have full character progression, unlocking powerful abilities and legendary skills as they advance.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are currently developing the Beta version, which will include two chapters, four bosses, and the ability to unlock basic skills and core gameplay systems.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will change after the Early Access period. We will announce the details at a later date.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

About This Game

Chinese Martial Arts

  • In the game, you shall encounter martial techniques and inner energy arts inspired by the golden era of 90s wuxia tales. Prepare to be immersed in a thrilling, elegant, and fluid combat experience. You must memorize and master each technique, adapting your style to match both the situation and your foes.

Story

  • When ‘Zhang Yixian' loses someone important, he embarks on a vengeful journey against ‘Gao Tianqi’, master of the Death Sun poison. You’ll wield the power of a top sword master in intense Hack-and-Slash combat, striking with deadly precision and swiftness with no mercy.

Face the Challenge

  • In this world, the challenge stays the same for all — there is no difficulty setting. But do not worry, falling in battle brings no punishment. So keep training, learn your moves well, and use them wisely to defeat every enemy that stands in your way.

Skill Tree

  • You will be able to learn the martial arts that Zhang Yixian can use, including combo techniques and powerful skills that can be unleashed. Some of these arts require the use of Qi. Therefore, study and master them well before going out to test your skills in the martial world.

Amid an era of chaos and turmoil, marked by oppression and brutality, various martial sects expanded their dominion and seized control over the entire kingdom. In the relentless pursuit of dominance, martial masters fight and kill anyone who gets in their way. Zhang Yìxian, leader of the Crimson Dust Demon Sect, emerges from the depths of hell with a singular purpose to take revenge on the supreme ruler, Gao Tian Qi. An endless battle between two formidable martial masters, but only one shall prevail.
