Our take on Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains
The defining mechanic is the Spirit Fusion Pot: captured enemies become materials for creating items or monsters, with the Eastern or Western altar determining the result.
What is Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains?
Play as Septem, a Frankish knight ordered by Pepin III to seek the Invincible Arts of War.
His journey begins in Venice and crosses the Middle East, Western Regions, and China as he becomes involved in political conflicts and the ambitions of Satan. The story combines events such as the Battle of Talas and the An Lushan Rebellion with Chinese and Western mythology. During turn-based battles, the Spirit Fusion Pot captures enemies.
Captured creatures and items can be used to craft new items or monsters, with the outcome varying between the Eastern and Western altars. Maps, characters, and battle scenes use an oriental ink-painting style. This version includes 16:9 high-resolution graphics, a revised interface, high-resolution item textures, controller support, and the China Episode.
