During the reign of the Middle Ming dynasty (15th and 16th century), China was
split into several focuses of power and as a result plunged into chaos. The
rumor of the secret knowledge known as “five poisons” appeared again. The
corrupted chief of secret police, Yan Chongying, befriended the famous pirates
Yanmo and Wutian and used his power to persecute brave generals and innocent
people. In Western China, in the Uighur (East Turkestan) region, an illegal
religion wants to avenge the dead and to prevent Yan Chongying from
controlling the entire land. Japanese ships are cruising near the shores of
China. Everywhere there are battles, and the future of China is dark. This is
where Zhang Zhiqiu, the third pupil of Chaoshan school of kung-fu, enters the
picture. Even though he is only twenty years old, and his origins are unknown,
he is the only one who can stand against the forces of evil and to restore
peace in China.

Xiake Yingxiongzhuan is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game set
in a concrete historical period in China. The game features hand-drawn
graphics and top-down view for exploration. The heroes travel over the world
map, entering towns and hostile areas, where the party fights randomly
appearing enemies and bosses. The combat uses a dynamic pseudo-3D over-the-
shoulder perspective with animated attacks. The characters can attack
physically or cast spells which require magic points, in a standard RPG
fashion. It is also possible to mine the ground for valuable materials that
can be later used to craft items and equipment.
