Game Overview:
Story and Background: The story of the game takes place in a fictional Xianxia world, where the world is filled with demons, monsters, humans, and various mystical beings. Players will dive into a complex world formed by ancient legends and modern fate, where every step they take influences the world's destiny. In this chaotic war between heaven and earth, players will face powerful enemies from the heavens and uncover internal strife and secrets within the Xuan Yuan world.
Strategic Gameplay: The game emphasizes deep tactical strategy gameplay. Players need to wisely position their units, utilizing terrain and each character's unique abilities to devise strategies. Special dungeons and challenge battles will incorporate some Roguelike elements, adding challenge and replay value.
Team BD: The core of the tactical game is team BD. We aim to create diverse battle experiences by combining character talents, rune and artifact mechanics, teammate combinations, and random battlefield conditions. How to clear a level? How to build a team BD? Players decide for themselves. There is no standard answer, only better ones. We design mechanics that lead to unexpected outcomes created by the players.
Crafting System: In addition to rich combat and exploration, we’ve added an important crafting system. "Celestial Descends" emphasizes the fun and randomness of crafting, recalling the joy of the "Xuanyuan Sword" when crafting magical items. We want players to experience the joy of creation and transformation. Players can collect various materials and recipes to craft powerful artifacts, potions, and charms, with each crafting attempt bringing unexpected results, making each try filled with surprises.
Open World: As a tactical game, we decided to develop world exploration. After unlocking the world map in the main storyline, players can freely explore the large world, uncover side stories, mystical events in the Xuan Yuan world, and complete various challenges. Ride the Kun to explore and discover the secrets of the world.
The Early Access version of the game is now available for download. Enjoy the experience!
