About This Game

The Golden Crow. The Divine Tree. The Standing Figure.

The vertical eyes gaze silently toward the firmament, refusing to recount the ancient tales of the Shu Kingdom to the mortal world. Today, the Golden Crow flies through the annals of history, clutching a branch of the Divine Tree, reigniting a mysterious and radiant glow. The colossal gates of Ancient Shu mythology turn slowly, shedding ashes of bronze, awaiting you—the one chosen by the heavens...

The Emperor’s Demise, The Bronze Gate Opens

On the day Emperor Wang (Du Yu) passed away, floods ravaged the land of Shu, calamities arose from the earth, and the people suffered in agony. At this apocalyptic hour, the Golden Crow descended. The Bronze Divine Tree extended its branches, sealing the space-time of the Shu Kingdom and weaving a surreal Bronze Otherworld. Within this realm, three gates stand tall, concealing the three primal sources of the cataclysm. Why did the floods surge? Where did the anomalies begin? And how does all this tie to the Emperor's death? Only you, endowed with the Witchcraft of the Golden Crow, can unravel the cocoons of the kingdom’s rise and fall, glimpse the truth, and save Ancient Shu.

Artifice of the Land of Abundance: Shape Your Will

  • Four Classes, Infinite Paths: Each class offers three distinct weapon evolution paths. Whether it’s the visceral impact of melee, tactical crowd control, or devastating long-range strikes, every combat preference is met.

  • Fluid Combat: Seamlessly switch between light attacks, heavy strikes, and swift shadow-dashes. Every weapon hides a unique, tactile rhythm waiting to be mastered.

  • Witchcraft of the Crow: Eight elemental sorceries—Flames of Critical Strike, Winds of Soul-Summoning, Venom of Bone-Clinging, Crag of Poise-Breaking, and more. These offer ever-changing tactical builds. The rich combination of armaments and witchcraft ensures you remain invincible on the battlefield.

The Fortress of the Mighty: Danger at Every Turn

The road ahead is fraught with peril. Ambushes in the light, hidden foes in the dark—monsters prowl through mountain wilds and ruined palaces.

  • Adaptive Enemies: Face monsters with diverse attack patterns and engage in complex, multi-phased BOSS battles.

  • Varied Challenges: Beyond standard combat, explore specialized stages including Stronghold Defense, Kill-Count Trials, Escort Missions, and Trap-Laden Gauntlets.

Afterglow of Ancient Shu: Where Gods and Men Coexist

Inspired by the silent relics of Sanxingdui and the Jinsha Site, the game features a vivid and unique art style. The "Afterglow of Ancient Shu" illuminates every architectural detail, item, landscape, and costume design, constructing a bizarre and fantastical world.

  • Mythical Encounters: Beings from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Huainanzi—the Golden Crow Emissary, the Chenghuang Merchant, the Sea-Strider tribes, and the Divine Smiths of Xuanpu—emerge from the shadows.

  • Cultural Crossroads: Visitors from the ancient regions of Ba, Chu, Qin, and Qiang weave through the narrative, enriching the world’s lore.

The Divine Tree Realm: An Eternal Cycle

The three colossal gates link to the three great disasters of Ancient Shu. Only by stopping the source behind the gates can the kingdom be redeemed.

  • Growth Through Rebirth: Do not be disheartened if your strength fails mid-journey. The Bronze Divine Tree will protect you, guiding you back to the sanctuary of the Otherworld.

  • Progression & Secrets: Enhance your power at the Divine Tree, exchange treasures collected in battle with mysterious NPCs, and unlock new classes to grow stronger.

  • The Ultimate Truth: Through repeated challenges, gather story fragments to piece together the mysteries of Emperor Du Yu, the origins of the Divine Tree, and the hidden fates of the characters. Step by step, march toward the True Ending.
