YaoGuai Hunter

YaoGuai Hunter is a martial fantasy roguelike inspired by Chinese folklore. As a Yao Hunter, you use blades and spells to fight ancient demons and restore balance in a hand-painted world of myths and martial arts. You can choose from four hunters, each with distinct abilities and weapons.

The hunters

• Mo San: A warrior from the Yao-Slaying Bureau who wields a cursed, bloodthirsty blade. He turns his rage into raw power, but each cut makes the blade hungrier.
• Chuan: A Taoist who carries a bamboo-fire sword and dangerous inventions. His bullets bear talismanic magic, and his homemade weapon, the Bamboo Bombard, uses spiritual alchemy to deliver explosive attacks.
• A-Zi: A witch prodigy from the southern Miao tribes, bonded with wild poisons. She commands venomous insects and casts ancient hexes passed down through her bloodline.
• Ao Yu: A young dragon-descendant who learns to command wind, fire, thunder and rain. When her human form shatters, the dragon within awakens.

Cards and progression

The game includes 400+ handcrafted cards, 172 Inner Skills, 54 Mystical Elixirs, 100+ random events and 100+ unique enemies. You can take on 20 ascending difficulty levels.
