Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

Developed by Ban Chao Studio, this is a single-player game that blends elements of role-playing, historical simulation, and war strategy.

World Overview:​

"A dragon lurking at the horizon's edge could startle heaven,

Yet bides its time and leaps into the abyss.

Awaiting the moment when winds and clouds convene,

It will soar across the six directions to reshape the world."

This prophetic verse, circulating in the rural landscapes of Guangxi, mirrors your destined path. In the mid-19th century, the great Qing Empire saw its illusion of celestial supremacy shattered by the cannons of the Opium Wars. Corruption plagued the courts, the masses languished in misery, and foreign powers lurked at the borders. In this stagnant "corner of the sea," countless heroes, like hidden dragons, suppressed their world-altering power.

And you are one of them.

Now, the winds and clouds have gathered. A faith known as the "God Worshipping Society" ignites a spark among the impoverished masses. From the rallying cry in Jintian, Guangxi, to the banners of the "Heavenly Kingdom" raised over Nanjing, the torrent of history surges forward with irresistible force. You will no longer be a mere spectator. You will join this magnificent and tragic movement, becoming the "soaring dragon" that challenges the old order. Every choice you make will determine whether this lurking dragon soars to the heavens or meets a tragic end.

Gameplay Style:​

The game is a strategic role-playing experience, often referred to as a "tactical RPG." It combines the narrative depth and character progression of classic RPGs with the turn-based combat of strategic war games. Through linear, mission-driven battles, players will relive the epic lives of historical heroes and shape the course of history.
