About
Background story:
At the beginning of time, when heaven and earth split apart, the pure essence rose to form the sky, while the heavy essence sank to become the earth.
Mount Buzhou stood tall like a massive pillar, connecting the heavens above and the deep abyss below, supporting all life in between.
One day, disaster struck suddenly. The balance between purity and heaviness was disrupted, and the mountain began to collapse.
In this moment of crisis, the Twelve Spirit Forms sacrificed their souls to act as pillars, preventing the great mountain from falling.
But over time, the heavy essence that had formed the "Shadow Erosion" began to secretly turn against its creators…
The blindly devout clung to promises long forgotten,
The lost and vengeful burned with rage for enemies that no longer existed,
And those who sought to outwit fate found themselves trapped in an endless cycle of their own making…
You awaken from nothingness, nameless and formless, armed with only a single sword.
Deep within your mind, a faint voice whispers:
"Destroy the corrupted forms and reunite the power of the Twelve Spirit Forms—this is the only way to save the world."
But the real truth behind it all remains unclear…
Core Gameplay
1. Shadow Shard System and Shadow Invocation
Shadow Shard Absorption:
In the game, each Boss leaves behind a "Shadow Shard" upon defeat, symbolizing their obsession and power. When you defeat a Boss, its Shadow Shard merges with your soul. By activating these shards, you gain entirely new abilities, adding more depth to your combat arsenal.
Shadow Invocation Spells:
During battles, you can use Shadow Strike attacks to steal spirit cores from Bosses, allowing you to unleash powerful Shadow Invocation spells. These spells not only deal massive damage but also have the potential to turn the tide of battle in critical moments. If you activate the corresponding Shadow Shard of the fallen Boss, the power of the Shadow Invocation is greatly enhanced, giving you an edge in combat.
Combo Awakening:
By combining multiple Shadow Shards, you unlock even more powerful combo skills. Different shard combinations produce vastly different effects, encouraging players to experiment with diverse combat strategies and discover their own unique fighting style.
2. Boss Battle Design
12 Epic Boss Battles:
Each Boss features unique move sets and multi-stage transformations, creating intense and layered combat experiences with a fast-paced rhythm.
Observe-Counter-Attack:
Every battle is like a dynamic chess match, where you must quickly analyze the enemy’s behavior patterns, find ways to counter them, and react within moments to turn the tables in your favor.
3. Story and Exploration
Echoes of the Shadow:
After absorbing a Boss's Shadow Shard, their Echoes of the Shadow will appear in your world. These echoes are like fragments of their souls, carrying the obsessions and inner secrets of each Boss. By interacting with these echoes, you will gradually uncover their stories and piece together the truth of the world, ultimately confronting the deeper mysteries hidden behind the cycle of fate.

great game but needs bug fixes for controller, keyboard and mouse. controller needs to add sensitivity settings because it takes forever to turn around when using controller. auto target often steers away from the target.
还不错,除了人物性能和优化一般,场景、boss都可圈可点。 最后连战12生肖给我打爽了
ボスラッシュゲームで、パターンを覚えて、ジャストガードで攻めていくゲーム性で、世界観は良く、アクション自体も悪くないが、楽しさや爽快感よりも理不尽さやイライラが勝るゲーム性となっており、最適化も不十分な印象を受けた。 日本語に対応してないが、操作法さえ理解できれば遊べる。 操作は簡単だが戦闘アクションは高難易度で、これは敵の攻撃がプレイヤーを追尾するという点と、回避や防御が絶妙にズレるという点が原因で、これによって敗北が重なってイライラが募るゲーム性となっている。 このゲームのダメなところは、ゲームに慣れていない最序盤のプレイヤーに対してラスボスをぶつけてくるような難易度設計で、如何にゲームをクリアさせないかに重点が置かれているので、楽しくないのである。 長い目で見ても、このゲームが楽しく改善される見込みは薄いだろう。もっと判定を激甘にすれば、最適化が不十分でも楽しめて高評価を得られるのにもったいない。
体验感不错,场景美术品质高,五连必杀炫酷,值得入手。
太卡
只过了教程,动作游戏里QTE成分过高实在玩不来。看在游戏便宜就不退款了,要是官方哪天把QTE删掉我就回来玩并改掉差评
我的评价是手短,腿短, 上面两点我估且算可以忍,但是这玩意隔三岔五崩溃是个什么玩意儿, 在你们解决完这些(尤其是游戏崩溃的事情)之前,我不会再玩这个了,看主创表现吧
Good game
It's hardcore.
