About this game
You are one of eight thousand warriors bound to protect the Emperor in his afterlife. Your comrades are not your enemies, even if they seem to think so at the moment.
Work your way through more than 80 levels across the elemental paths using mind and body to overcome puzzling obstacles and challenges.
Awaken ancient mechanisms and descend into the underworld, overcoming foes through speed and agility, instead of only using brute force.
Defeat 8 brutal bosses, requiring the mastery of the nine phases of Qi: The universal energy that forms all parts of living beings.
As the sole uncursed warrior of the emperor's Terracotta Army, you'll have to master your ability to channel the Tao, switching between the realms of Yin and Yang to free your fellow soldiers from the spiritual blight.
Shift between the realms of Yin and Yang, within the tomb of the Emperor and his afterlife, looping between death and the afterlife to overcome cursed challenges.
Yin is the domain of solitude and tranquility. The dark, desolate tomb is a fortress, where you can strategize, prepare, and alter the layout to aid your journey.
Yang is the realm of the afterlife, light, and action. Execute combat strategies, evade foes, and overcome the tomb’s defenders to find the source of the curse placed upon the rest of the terracotta.
The Qin dynasty laid the foundations of China that would endure two thousand years. As an awakened terracotta warrior, you have the opportunity to observe it from within.
Experience an art style based on the timeless aesthetics of guo hua, traditional Chinese painting.
Immerse yourself in the afterlife of the Terracotta Army with a soundtrack inspired by traditional instruments classified through the ancient Chinese ba yin.
Save your fellow eight thousand strong warriors, each with iconic individual appearances - just like the real Terracotta Army!

Bighorn Ramone: our new hoop horror game
Hi there!We're excited to reveal Bighorn Ramone, the new horror game we're developing at Appnormals.The premise is simple: you're trapped inside a sports team mascot suit.We wanted to combine two of our biggest passions (horror movies and basketball) to create a tense, atmospheric horror experience centered on dread, vulnerability, and human violence.Here's our teaser trailer:The mascot suit isn't just part of the story... it's the game's core mechanic. Its limited visibility and clumsy movement make every encounter more terrifying, creating a double layer of claustrophobia: you're trapped inside a basketball arena, and you're trapped inside the suit itself.Caught in a time loop between the present day and a mysterious basketball game in 1986, you'll have to perform as the team's mascot while evading hostile fans searching for answers about what really happened that night.If the premise sounds intriguing, we'd love your support!Wishlist Bighorn Ramone and follow us as we work toward our first 3D horror game. Cheers,Iñaki from AppnormalsRead full article on Community Announcements (Appnormals Team)AnnouncementsOfficial
