Sword Lake

Sword Lake is a Chinese-style survival roguelike in which a young survivor from Xiaoshi Village pursues the path of cultivating immortality after a disaster destroys the village. Seeking revenge, the survivor must avoid man-eating demons before growing into a true immortal. The game’s skills are all swords, which attack automatically.

Build sword techniques

You can choose from three characters at the start. The game has nine attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, yin and yang. Each attribute has an active sword technique and a passive cultivation technique. Matching techniques from the same attribute activate powerful combination skills, and combinations from different attributes can be paired together.

You can shape your build around approaches such as unlimited movement, life-for-critical-hits, stacking damage, critical-hit damage, high defense with health recovery, or luck-based gambles.

Face the demon waves

A wave of demons arrives every minute. Activate a set of sword techniques from one attribute as soon as you can, then fight through the waves. The initial run lasts 20 minutes; after completing it, you can keep your combination and continue in an endless mode, where your build can grow without limit.
