Fengshen Yingjiezhuan
Fengshen Yingjiezhuan (translated as “The Heroic Legend of God-Sealing”),
is a Chinese strategy role-playing game based on a famous legend from the time
of Shang dynasty (1766-1050 BC). Zhou was the name of the last emperor of the
dynasty. One day he visited the palace of the goddess N u Wa and, enchanted by
her beauty, commanded his generals to capture her. The generals told him there
was a mortal woman in the empire whose beauty matched that of Nu Wa. After
prolonged searching the Emperor’s men found the girl and brought her to the
palace. What they did not know was that the girl’s body was possessed by a fox
spirit. Since she became Emperor Zhou’s wife, evil has entered the empire. It
is time for the great heroes of China to free the country from the corrupted
Zhou and his possessed wife!
The player initially takes control of one of the heroes, Lin Yun, who
gradually re-unites with the other eight. The game is a strategy RPG which
consists of battles and cutscenes to advance the story. Navigation is possible
only during battles, or as instant travel between locations on a world map.
During the battles, the player moves the heroes over the top-down battlefield,
attacking enemies physically, defending, or using magic whenever enemies are
in range. Characters gain experience points every time they attack an enemy,
so it is possible to level up in the middle of a battle.
