About this game
The Sword River Realm — where every soul in the world flows to rest.
But souls steeped in evil have begun to seep in as well, corrupting the realm from within — and the blight is spreading
into the mortal world itself. The fallen heroes of the jianghu return to your side as spirits.
Stand with them, and set right a fate that has been led astray.
■ A jianghu the size of 40+ novels the deeper you read, the deeper you fall
A sprawling scenario of over 4 million written characters — the equivalent of more than 40 published volumes.
Every nameless villager, every wandering swordsman who crosses your path carries a story and a motive of their own.
Uncover the hidden side of the world through side quests tucked into every corner.
Follow the main story alone, and you'll come away feeling as though you've read an epic saga cover to cover.
■ Explore a vast world — a jianghu you complete with your own two feet
A vast jianghu that feels like wandering through a classical ink-wash painting.
From snow-capped peaks to mist-veiled bamboo groves, every step turns a new landscape into a new story.
This is not a game that walks you down a fixed path — roam the jianghu at your own pace.
■ Strategy that borders on limitless
Recruit the jianghu's most distinctive heroes and build your own lineup by combining inner arts and tactics cards.
Battles weave each hero's signature skills, your collected inner arts and tactics cards, and battlefield formations
together in real time — victory turns on which heroes you field, which tactics you unleash, and when. Perfect a martial
style all your own amid fast, fluid action, topple bosses each armed with their own techniques, and climb to ever greater heights.
■ Growth that never stops
True wuxia progression, built on ever-deepening inner strength.
Power is etched into the heroes themselves. Collect and refine inner arts to forge a combat style that is yours alone.
From martial training to gear enhancement, every step you take today becomes the foothold for a higher plane
tomorrow — a journey without end.
■ Experience a proven wuxia-fantasy universe
From Han-Squirrel Studio — creators of Hanjia Jianghu (汉家江湖), with 7 million downloads worldwide, and Sands of
Salzaar, with over 2 million downloads on Steam alone. The studio behind these acclaimed wuxia-fantasy worlds now
brings their characters together on a single stage for an all-new story set in the Sword River Realm. A multiverse wuxia
fantasy begins — one that will draw in longtime fans and newcomers alike.
