At a glance

Xuan-Yuan Sword VII is a third-person action RPG developed by Softstar Entertainment and published by SOFTSTAR and Yooreka Studio. Its story draws on Chinese history and mythology, following swordsman Taishi Zhao after a disaster destroys his family and a bamboo slip connected to a prophecy disappears. Ten years later, as war and famine trouble the land, the slip reappears and Zhao sets out to uncover the truth and protect his family. Combat is real-time and combo-based, with active skills, dodges, blocks and ripostes.
