Myth meets cyberpunk in this Chinese-themed ARPG
Liuyin’s world is a premium role-playing game set in a futuristic universe where the cycle of reincarnation has been corrupted by artificial intelligence. The clash between humans, demons, and synthetic beings shapes its narrative, with mythology and cyberpunk design blending together. The result is a third-person experience built on exploration and combat.
In this Chinese fantasy cyberpunk title, you step into a world unraveling under faction conflict. Liuyin’s world's themes of survival, power, and corruption unfold through story-rich gameplay. Fans of Black Myth: Wukong may find familiar ground here, where action mechanics and lore-driven exploration carry equal weight.
The cycle in ruin
Liuyin’s World takes place in a setting where the corrupted Wheel of Reincarnation has merged spiritual energy and machines, creating tension between humans, demons, and AI. You play in a third-person ARPG format with metroidvania exploration. Areas feature branching routes, hidden passages, and items that encourage backtracking. As new paths open, they reveal not only useful gear but also details that expand the lore and help tie the story together.
The game is structured around eight large regions, with additional smaller areas scattered across the map. Each location highlights a different faction through its design and atmosphere. Ruins, strongholds, and settlements provide visual context, while relics and NPC dialogue add background information. Exploration often rewards you with equipment or shortcuts, so uncovering new areas feels directly tied to progression rather than serving as optional side content.
Combat uses hack-and-slash mechanics supported by defensive actions like dodging, blocking, and countering. Two martial arts sets and a passive skill system give you flexibility in approach. Weapons, firearms, and cloaks are found by defeating bosses or searching hidden areas. Replay value is added through multiple endings. The complex systems, however, can be overwhelming for players learning everything at once.
Complex but immersive
Liuyin’s World combines exploration, combat, and story in a world that mixes futuristic tech with myth. Levels feel purposeful, and there’s a good variety of equipment to experiment with. Branching paths give reasons to replay, and the story unfolds alongside progression. The systems can take a little time to get used to, but once familiar, they add depth without feeling overwhelming. Overall, it’s a solid ARPG experience.
