About the Game

A Mythical Journey

"Yaoling: Mythical Journey" takes place on the mysterious Land of the Ancients, where unique environments gave birth to different types of Yaolings. With the combined efforts of the Divine Jade Tree and Yaoling Keepers, Yaolings have become inseparable friends and companions to humans. However, a dark power brews behind the seemingly harmonious veil, stirring up unease among the Yaolings…

Diverse and Unique Yaolings

The Land of the Ancients is home to over 300 types of fantastical Yaolings of unique species, characteristics, and abilities. Every Yaoling is unique due to their combination of stats and talents. As they gain combat experience, Yaolings can evolve into more powerful forms, many of which might bring you unexpected surprises!

Yaoling Keeping Mastery

No Yaolings are weak in the hands of an adept Yaoling Keeper! On your journey to become an outstanding Yaoling Keeper, you must learn the abilities and talents of different Yaolings, be flexible in creating strong lineups, and devise strategies against different opponents and situations.

Rare Yaoling Encounters

In rare circumstances, you may encounter Yaolings with unusual colors, shiny appearances, or larger sizes during your journey. Rumor has it that some Yaolings may even possess all these traits simultaneously! These unique features will be retained through level-ups and evolution. One would wonder what other surprises await Yaoling Keepers on this mythical journey?

Forging a Home

Rescue companions in times of crisis and invite them to help build up your village. They will unlock useful buildings such as restaurants, training grounds, breeding dens, and more! In addition to their excellence in combat, some Yaolings make great helpers for farming, mining, cooking, and crafting.

Dangerous Demon Lords

For unknown reasons, Yaolings are becoming restless and transforming into demons, with some even becoming unique demon lords. Defeating these demon lords will help them regain their consciousness, turning them back into their innocent baby forms to fight alongside you.

Unfold Your Story

As a destined Yaoling Keeper, you will venture through the beautiful land alongside your Yaolings, procuring hidden treasures, challenging Schools of Yaoling Keepers, and face off against powerful Demon Lords. You can catch and document Yaolings you encounter, explore different line-ups during battles, or simply fish along the waterbanks. Your journey is for you to unfold!

The Magic of Charms

Knowing the right time and place to use charms is an essential skill for a Yaoling Keeper. Spells casted through charms can both provide buffs and healing for allies, while damaging and crippling enemies. Some are even used to forge bonds with Yaolings. Casting charms outside of battle may bring about many surprises!
