Jian Xia Qing Yuan R (JXQY R), the mobile remaster of 2003’s Jian Xia Qing Yuan Online, is available for pre-load now on Android and iOS (from 11pm SGT onwards), before the open beta on 5 January. Or if you prefer, there is the APK download available too for Android devices.

For those who want to experience a blast from the past, or to be exposed to the imaginative niche genre of wuxia, JXQY R is a game you won’t want to miss out on. It brings back nostalgic gameplay and graphics, while offering modern quality-of-life improvements that streamline the mechanics and minimise grind.

Here are a few key features that you’ll want to enjoy to their fullest:

World of Wuxia

The world of wuxia, which is essentially a highly established genre of Chinese fantasy filled with martial arts, conflict between factions, and flashy fights. Think Hero meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by way of Game of Thrones.

This is an RPG setting different from the worlds of high fantasy we see in Western and Japanese RPGs (JRPGs), presenting new ways to examine a hero’s tale. Jian Xia Qing Yuan R plants players into a setting that has cemented itself as part of an entire culture’s collective unconscious.

Rich PvE and PvP gameplay

For PvE, consistent with the organic and alive world, there are world bosses that players can fight. These bosses are too strong for a single player to defeat, and as such some coordination and cooperation will be necessary for players to take them down. Of course, the world bosses will drop loot too, and it will no doubt be exciting to see how players bicker over who gets to keep the rarest loot.

For PvP, there is the Song Jin Battlefield, where players are divided into two warring factions, and have to defeat the opposing forces in a wild, chaotic, unpredictable situation. As thousands of players trade blows throughout the map, surviving itself could be a challenge, making this an adrenaline rush of a mode.

Bustling Market

When it comes to MMORPGs, the social aspect is key. It’s an active, engaged community that makes an MMORPG. A good sign of an engaged community is a bustling market. Jian Xia Qing Yuan R allows players to set up street stalls to sell items to other players. A free trade system where items are not bound to specific accounts makes the world feel much more organic and alive, because when items are forcibly bound to specific characters, it will accentuate the artificiality of the game world. This keeps the in-universe economy up and running, where players will have to immerse themselves in the movement of demand and supply.
