About This Game

Place the beasts. Channel the elements. Break the throne.

Cards fall, elements chain, the multiplier catches fire.

Wuxing: Elemental Array Poker is a feng-shui roguelike deckbuilder. You don't just play a good poker hand — you place it onto a 3×3 altar, card by card, and let the Five Elements flow between cells. What you play matters. Where you put it matters just as much.

Fully playable in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

Send each beast home

Fire lands in the South — the Vermilion Bird wakes.

Every element has a home cell: the Azure Dragon in the East, the Vermilion Bird in the South, the White Tiger in the West, the Black Tortoise in the North, the Qilin at the center. Land a card on its home and the beast wakes for a bonus multiplier. Feed the center and the Qilin's qi builds across the run — at full charge it discharges for a ×2.5 burst.

Chain Generation…

Wood feeds Fire, Fire feeds Earth — one chain, and the multiplier climbs.

Neighboring cards react to each other. Wood → Fire → Earth → Metal → Water: every Generation edge between neighbors adds to your multiplier. Walk all five elements across the board in one unbroken path and you've built the Generation Chain.

…or gamble on Counter

Counter scores big. Calamity is the bill.

Counter edges — Water quenches Fire, Fire melts Metal — don't add, they multiply. But every one scars your hand size on the spot and calls down a storm that breaks over the next stage, unless you wash it away in the shop first. Greed is a real decision here, not a dice roll.

Wield the relics of myth

Immortal-Slaying Sword, Wind-Fire Wheel, Whip of the Gods — legends you can carry into battle.

Treasures out of Chinese myth and legend, each one bending the rules its own way. Find the few that fit your board, and watch your build come alive.

Every relic can carry an aura

The same sword — plain, then wreathed in five different auras.

Any relic can turn up wreathed in a Relic Aura — some make it stronger, some make it stranger, and one comes at a price. Eight in all, each one worth hunting for.

One more run

The boss falls; the gold pours in.

Four seasons, each guarded by a beast boss that bends one rule of the board — a dragon that seals your Wood, a bird that melts cards as they score and rises from its own ashes. Between rounds you build: over 100 relics, 25 talismans, the nine stars of the Big Dipper that level up your hands, a crafting furnace, vouchers, and Shanhai beasts that rewrite a run when you open the right pack. Five sect decks, sixteen mini-bosses, nine stake tiers, achievements, seeded runs, and an Endless mode for when four seasons aren't enough.

Why Wuxing?

Five Elements, generating and countering, in endless cycle.

Most deckbuilders score the order you play. Wuxing scores the shape you build — a 3×3 board that fights back. Look at the board and you can say "because Wood → Fire → Earth," not "no idea why that just happened."

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During development we used generative AI tools to create some content that ships in the game:

- Visual art: Some 2D art (card illustrations, store/capsule art, boss and deity illustrations, UI seals, and marketing images) was generated with an image model, then hand-edited, composited, and curated by us.
- Music: The looping background music tracks were generated with an AI music tool, then edited and mastered (trimmed and crossfade-looped) by us before inclusion.
- Text / localization: Some in-game text and its translations (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English) were produced with AI assistance and then reviewed and edited by us.

All AI-generated content was reviewed by a human before shipping.
We have confirmed our right to use these tools' output commercially, and have taken steps to ensure the content does not infringe third-party IP.
