About This Game

TIAN NUO — A Chinese dark indie game. Pure, straightforward hack-and-slash.

We promise to bring back that classic feeling in its purest form. No pay-to-win schemes. No screen-filling purchase prompts. Just a place where our younger days can finally call home.

Story Overview

Set against the backdrop of ancient Chinese mythology, this multiplayer online role-playing game unfolds in the realm of "Dahuang." Demons and ghosts run rampant across the land, and humanity faces an unprecedented catastrophe. Players take on the role of a commoner created by Nuwa, the primordial goddess of creation. Receiving revelation from the Five-Colored Divine Stone left behind by Nuwa in the mortal realm, they awaken to their true calling and embark on a journey to save humanity's homeland.

Version Overview

A Traditional Eastern Mythos, An Epic Adventure

Step into the world of "Dahuang" and embark on a journey to save humanity's homeland. From art style and map names to character costumes and monster designs, every element is drawn from classic Chinese mythology, including Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) and Sou Shen Ji (In Search of the Supernatural). Through authentic Eastern cultural symbols, you will be immersed in an ancient dark fantasy realm where danger lurks at every turn—a world where mortals, gods, and demons coexist. With the guidance of Nuwa, the primordial goddess of creation, you will forge your path through self-cultivation and demon-slaying.

Three Classes, Clean and Streamlined Progression

Players may choose their path from the Ranger, Wizard, or Fangshi — a Taoist mystic. Throughout your journey, you will gradually acquire skills, equipment, and other resources, then further refine your character into specialized sub-class branches. Each class offers unique abilities, combat styles, skills, and gameplay, providing multiple viable playstyles to master.

Online Multiplayer & Unique Social Features — Clan Support

The game features built-in chat and friend systems, letting players communicate freely and team up for adventures. It also offers a unique spectate function: with your permission, other players can watch your screen in real time and chat with you while viewing your perspective.

Build meaningful connections by forming parties, joining clans, entering sworn brotherhoods, or getting married. Forge precious bonds of friendship and family that strengthen your resolve to fight for humanity.

True Free Trading

Trade gear and items freely with fellow players, supported by a full auction system. Every adventurer who steps into Dahuang can find their own path and trading niche.

Epic Gear, Transparent Sources

Slay monsters and conquer the realm. Every resource and piece of equipment comes from a clear, defined source. Collect powerful weapons, armor, bracers, and accessories. Use gathered materials to upgrade your gear, carry potent items into battle, and seize epic loot from mighty regional bosses.

Pure, No-Nonsense Combat

In this brutal world, combat is the only way for the strong to survive. Cultivate your character, raise your level and combat power, refine your skills, and arm yourself. Dominate the world and forge your own unique build within this clean combat system. Multiple PvP and PvE modes deliver raw, visceral combat satisfaction.
