Xuan-Yuan Sword VII

Set amid upheaval in ancient China, the story follows Taishi Zhao, a swordsman drawn into a family tragedy and a wider mystery. He travels through a world shaped by Chinese history and mythology, seeking answers while trying to protect his family. Combat is real-time and viewed from a third-person perspective. Chain light and heavy attacks into combos, switch among four martial arts stances, and use active skills, dodges, blocks, and ripostes against enemies and bosses. The Elysium Scroll adds combat and crafting systems: it can slow time, alter nearby objects, and absorb monsters for use as refining materials. The Fusion Lab can create new monsters and passive skills, while facilities in Elysium let you improve weapons and armor. The journey also includes side quests and a checkers-style minigame.

As swordsman Taishi Zhao, fight through a mythic Han-era crisis with stance-based combos and a scroll that captures monsters.
