About the Game

Artifact Hunt: Yao is a Chinese-style roguelike deck-building game. In the ink-wash art style, you'll forge powerful magical artifacts, defeat Yaos, and claim the ultimate victory.

Defeat Yaos

Infuse the power of souls into magical artifacts—specific combinations of souls will unleash devastating attack power to defeat enemies.

Each time you defeat an enemy, they will grow even stronger.

Earn random soul and magical artifact rewards during your adventure. To counter the unique traits of Yaos and secure the ultimate victory, you must give it your all!

Highly replayable, with unknown dangers and opportunities coexisting—every departure brings a brand-new challenge.

Own Build

Flexibly combine different souls, artifacts, inscriptions and talismans to create your own unique build.

Special souls possess additional effects that require flexible utilization.

Magical artifacts provide unique bonuses. You can also disassemble redundant ones to extract inscriptions.

High-tier magical artifacts allow embedding multiple inscriptions to form powerful combo effects.

Talismans provide passive bonuses for a single run, giving your build a unique style.
