Features
“Guardians of Dao” is a wuxia RPG that blends real-time tactics with roguelite deckbuilding.
In battle, you play cards as orders—command martial heroes, draw on divine blessings to empower your cards and builds, and reshape the battlefield amid chaos.
[Wuxia] [Deities] [Aliens]—intertwined
An alien invasion tears through the jianghu. Gunfire and eldritch corruption crush the old rules of the martial world. As the last heir of Celestial Divination, you will bond with heroes, ally with deities, journey through the main story and layered jianghu events, uncover the truth behind the invasion, and lead everyone to defend Earth—and the last faith of humankind.
Story Prologue
The five great sects are selecting a new Wulin Alliance Leader, and as a small nobody wandering the jianghu, how could you possibly miss such a grand event?
But no one expected that a sudden storm of fate would change not only your path… but the future of the entire wulin.
Can a person who knows no martial arts truly become the hero who saves the wulin?
Use the power of Bagua to adjust your position, create openings for damage, and unleash satisfying bursts at critical moments!
The culinary-and-martial dual-cultivation Dayong Sect, the battle-forged Poyun Sect, the unpredictable Qianji Sect…
Recruit companions from all corners of the land, each wielding their own unique martial arts, and work together to overcome every obstacle on your path through the wulin!
