Armed and Armoured is a historical action & strategy RPG. The game dedicates to recreate the most realistic ancient sword fighting battles, with an immersive army organizing simulation system. The story background is based on the late Ming dynasty of China (late 16th Century), when Japanese piracy was at its peak. Free exploration and hidden story line will be in the best balance in this game.

The game has three following main features:

1. Extremely Immersive Army Organizing Simulation System:
Free exploration and storylines with hidden plot are included in this game. A player can join any side and start playing as a soldier. Or he can try to establish his own gang in the chaotic late Ming dynasty, develop his business, recruit troops, and gradually expand his gang from nothing into a major local power. Whether the player throw himself into the Ming Dynasty to turn the tide, or sitting on a thousand sails to become a pirate giant who dominates the East China Sea, or any other choice he made, it is all within the player’s hands. The game will be featured with a large strategic map mode and a local battlefield mode

2. Extremely Realistic Melee Combat System
Armors and weapons’ collisions are calculated by physics engine. This allows the game to accurately represent the physical collider of a piece of armor as well as vulnerable gaps between armor pieces. A piece of armor can be destroyed by repeatedly taking damage. The characters’ movement and the art performance will strive to restore realistic ancient armored warriors’ fighting style and manifests the beauty of a historical sense.

3. Complete formation strategy system
A player can form his army into different formations based on different tactics. He needs to win the battle more strategically, other than charging with blindness hacking and slashing.
