Based on popular Chinese legends that inspired a multi-award-winning television series, several movies, novels, and a phenomenally successful franchise of games -- including the most recent MMORPG Gujian Qitan Online -- Swords of Legends Online introduces a fully remastered version of the highly-anticipated saga to new audiences.

Swords of Legends Online explores an eons-long clash between the forces of light and darkness. Only those chosen by the spirit of the legendary sword buried deep within themselves may unlock the powers necessary to banish the fog of evil, death, and destruction that threaten to consume this tempestuous world. Players will become absorbed in the deep, vivid visuals and narrative as they hone their combat skills, form alliances, defeat fearsome enemies and bosses that spawn throughout the dangerous dungeons and world maps, enemy factions, and even the gods themselves.

Players may choose from up to six playable classes, each with their own unique skills, weapons, armor, and specializations. These heroes can take to the skies on flying mounts to visit their own, customizable islands, and engage in thrilling quests, multiplayer dungeons, 20-player raids, and an abundance of PVP modes.

Soon, players throughout North and Latin America and Europe will be able to explore the game’s rich, tumultuous story, steeped in poetic Chinese lore, and test their might in thrilling action combat as they become embroiled in the struggles between light and darkness.   

Players will get to explore some stunning, gorgeous, and occasionally deadly, locales! They’ll engage in thrilling action MMO combat as they battle demonic spiders in an underground labyrinth, explore a sodden, waterlogged prison complex, and go head-to-head (or spear-to-spear) with a plague-ridden general in the ruins of a destroyed temple complex! Each dungeon provides an increasingly difficult challenge, but no pain, no gain! Players that want the very best loot must step up to the challenge and prove they are worthy of the title “Legend”! Each dungeon hosts 5 to 10 players and features multiple difficulty levels as well as bosses, and will challenge players just setting out on their adventure all the way up to those that have reached the level cap.

Gear up and plan your battle strategy while you check out a brief overview of the dungeon battles in Swords of Legends Online below:

Yemo City in Wuzhao:

Located in the Butianling Zone, players seeking glory and experience will do battle with the brave and utterly mad, warrior Wu Yeyu in The Royal Court of Wuzhao, located near the Yinsheng Spring — the sanctuary of the God of the Dead. Yeyu has lost both her humanity and her mind after being exposed to the Devil Sword, and will provide a challenging experience early on for lower-level players. A challenging entry-level dungeon for players at Level 13 and above.

Frostbitten Path:

Beneath the mountains at Qingliangzhai Fortress in the Weichuan Highlands Zone is a labyrinthine network of tunnels, built by Meijia to ensure a safe path to the Valley of Xiongli. However, to guard this area, Meijia has enlisted the help of great demons, including the terrifying spider, Han Yi. This a former warrior of Xangiu who upon dying, was recruited by Meijia to help enact her devious schemes! This dungeon is for more advanced players at Level 22 and above.

Nightmare Temple of Mercy:

The Nightmare Temple is not the peaceful sanctuary it once was. Players who journey to the District of Chang'an will find a sinister building flooded with evil Qi, guarding the Sword of the Stranger — now home to the ghastly Nightmare. While on the surface, the Nightmare may resemble Wu Rui, but this being is far more dangerous and will provide a deadly challenge to any hero brave enough to knock on the temple doors. This dungeon is available to players at Level 18 who have gained access through experiencing the story. Higher difficulty levels are also available to players at Level 37 and above. 

Chou Prison:

Long ago, the worst criminals in the land were punished by being locked away in this secret, underground prison, featuring flooded tunnels stretching across in all directions. The prison, located in the Jiangdu District Zone, is now rife with foul monsters, united under the leadership of the bronze-clad warrior Tongpi, who can control the soul force of the five elements to increase his power! Fair warning, this dungeon is not for the faint of heart and only for max-level players.

Raging River Ruins:

50 years ago, battle broke out between the various schools and sects of the lands. The altars and temples in Jingdu, on the Shinaghuai Grassland Zone, originally constructed by the Devastator Sect, were torn down and destroyed, leaving only abandoned ruins behind. Any warrior that dares explore these ruins will run into the Spring Plague General a powerful fighter created by Nuowu. Beware though, the soul power of the Spring Pest General is closely connected to the Ruin of the Raging Rivers — If he gets into trouble, the entire temple will stand by him. This is an extremely challenging ordeal that should only be undertaken by players at the highest levels.
