Technical aspects

The Wind Road is an action RPG inspired by Chinese mythology. The game was developed by Chinese studio Gansu Jiayuan Digital Technology.

Plot

The game takes place in a fantasy world, modelled on the glory days of ancient China. However, the authors did not rely on any particular historical period, creating realities which are a mixture of different eras and elements from myths and legends.

The plot revolves around the barbarians of the Grey Wolf. These tribes have been invading the Silk Road for over a hundred years, but until now they have only been on short expeditions. They are now sending armies to Shazou Province to take control of the strategic territory of Longyou. If they succeed, the lives of tens of thousands of innocent civilians will be at risk.

Hope for repulsing the tribes is given by the teachings of the Great Karma Scripture. Unfortunately, the barbarians have so far effectively prevented this text from being delivered to the Emperor. We play the role of a mercenary who is hired to escort the monks trying to take these documents to the Imperial Palace.

Mechanics

The Wind Road is an action RPG in which we observe events from a camera placed behind the hero's back. During the game we explore the world, perform tasks, develop the hero and above all fight against hordes of enemies.

The skirmish system is very arcade and extensive. The player gets access to a rich arsenal of combat styles and attack types. Enemies are fast and powerful, so without proper pairing of blows and dodges we have no chance of survival.

The gameplay is enhanced by a system that allows you to assist in battles with magical special techniques. The game also offers crafting mechanics to improve your weaponry and equipment.

From time to time, we have to face the mighty bosses in the campaign. There are also simple logic puzzles and escape sequences in which we have to eliminate the enemies that are chasing us with a bow.

Game modes

The Wind Road only offers single player gameplay. After passing the campaign, we can use the new plus game mode, which allows us to keep most of the items and character improvements.
