About Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament

About this game

The gates have been opened...

Witness a thrilling narrative and one heck of an epic RPG adventure with Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament. With this Steam key, players will experience the Xuan Yuan Sword franchise like never before with improved visuals and a grand world to explore. 

ANCIENT BEINGS

In order to find his beloved missing daughter, the divine Jade Emperor opened the gates of heaven, allowing a direct connection between heaven and earth - allowing worthy mortals to appeal to the Jade Emperor and obtain divine powers, to aid in the search of his missing daughter.

However, this gift was exploited and taken advantage of, causing chaos in the mortal realm. The Nine Li Tribe became a cult that worshipped demons and practiced in the occult, divorcing themselves from the businesses of the mortal realm.

Forces of evil suddenly arose, inciting wars across the continent, and condemning people to a life of fear and suffering. Emperor Zhuanxu feared the demon Chiyou would once again ravage the mortal realm.

Limited by his own capabilities, he sought the help of the Queen of Huaxu, who once assisted Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor in warding off the Otherworld with the Bell of Donghuang. Both Fuxi and Nuwa—the children of the Queen of Huaxu—also supported Emperor Zhuanxu in convincing the Queen, for they too could not bear to watch people suffer any longer.

In the end, the gates to heaven were finally sealed with the powers of the Divine Artifacts combined.
Since then, no mortals were able to ascend, nor were gods able to descend at will. This incident was later recorded in history as 'Juedi Tiantong'.

BEAUTIFUL WORLD

This latest entry broke 25-year series builds on its predecessors, including a new lighting system that better establishes moods, and creates various atmospheric scenes; as well as facial animation and lip-sync systems, MVN motion capture system to elevate the quality standard of all characters in every aspect.

These new technologies not only improve visuals but also game immersion, enabling the players to fully comprehend the behaviours and feelings of the protagonists.

NEW TO THE FRANCHISE

The battle system has been replaced with a real-time, encounter-based gameplay mechanism, making the battles more intense than ever. Improved returning features exclusive to the Xuan-Yuan Sword series include the Urn of Spirit Infusion that enables demon-synthesis and equipment refinement; the Guardian System that allows your captured demons to fight on your side; and the Miracle System that grants additional attack buffs. A new “Battle Formation” system is also introduced in this latest entry, allowing for a richer and better gaming experience for the players.

a great addition to the series. if you enjoy chinese game, this is a great addition to your collection. Like euro-jank, it is an acquire taste which requires patience and tolerance towards bizarre mechanics and the jankiness that comes with its small budget with overambitions. if you have the tolerance, then this game is great with fun (though outdated) combat, plenty of story for fans of wuxia type stories and just a great time in general

Very fun but flawed RPG, great Chinese theme and setting, and a good story, but the gameplay suffers
