Buy Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Han Clouds PC key

Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Han Clouds is a single-player, turn-based role-playing game set during the Three Kingdoms period, when rival states divide the former Han Empire. A mysterious unit appears among the Han army as Chancellor Zhuge Liang begins a northern campaign to restore Han rule, following the death of Wei Emperor Cao Pi. The unit’s origins and identity are unknown, but it will come to influence the fate of Han.

The Three Kingdoms

In 220, after more than 400 years, the Han Empire’s territory is divided among three powers. Cao Pi claims that Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, has abdicated in his favor and establishes Wei in the Central Plains. In Shu, Liu Bei declares himself the heir to the Han imperial line and establishes Han. Sun Quan, ruler of Jiangdong and a king under Wei, declares himself emperor of Wu in 229.

After several years spent rebuilding strength, Zhuge Liang launches a northern campaign, seeking to restore Han while Wei is unsettled by Cao Pi’s recent death. The game’s story takes place after Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Millennial Destiny and before Xuan-Yuan Sword V: A Tale of the Sky and Earth.

The game features a monster-refinement system that lets you collect and refine creatures, alongside a weapon and armor forging system for crafting distinctive equipment. Its 3D presentation uses an ink-wash style, placing the story in a world shaped to resemble a traditional Chinese painting.

The story and characters draw inspiration from history and mythology, though some content is fictional.
