The Wind Road is an Action RPG with a powerful storyline. The adventure story is based on the barbarian invasion of the Silk Road. A strategic point is planned to be captured, and at this time the monks are busy delivering the Holy Scripture to the Imperial Palace. The message is under threat, but our hero gets involved in an adventure to protect the messengers and confronts the invaders. On the road, he learns the secret of this document. Now there is no turning back.The Wind Road is based on Chinese folklore and the action takes place in a fictional era. Therefore, the character has access to unusual skills and abilities. The combat system is built on various combo attacks and dodging. But the protagonist does not only swing his fists, his arsenal contains both traditional ancient Chinese weapons and devices for concealed carry and silent killing. The battles are dynamic, but since the enemies can do something, they are quite long. As you grow older, new skills appear, and when improving the Qi level, you will have to test your skills by fighting a more experienced opponent. Crafting and upgrading equipment will allow you not only to forge or sharpen a blade, but also to change the appearance of the blade, and in general all the equipment.The combat component in the game is extensive and deserves a separate description:
- The master's strength consists of several components that form a single system: Health, Qi, Endurance and Rage. Health affects survivability, Qi - the number and power of attacks, Endurance will allow you to sprint, block and dodge, and Rage, when accumulated, is released and destroys the resistance of opponents;
- The process of the fight - attack, defense, rolls and counterattacks. When combining the above, an advantage in battle appears;
- There are 60+ available combat skills, all of which use a specific type of energy and are dependent on the state (Drunken Master style);
- There are three main combat mechanics: hand-to-hand combat, sword duels, and combat using internal energy. The latter looks especially impressive;
- There is a chance to apply conditions to opponents: Bleeding, Internal Injury, Poisoning, and others.
