About

WindStop Strategy is a region-suppressing tactical RPG that seamlessly blends deep Wuxia storytelling with open-world strategy. As the heir to a fallen sect, players must navigate complex political intrigues, manage resources, and engage in intricate turn-based card combat to unify the chaotic martial world.

Story

You play as Situ, the young master of the Hu Yan Men sect, whose peaceful existence is shattered by a brutal massacre. Thrust into leadership, you must rise from the ashes, uncover the conspiracy behind the legendary 'Night Crow', and navigate a web of brotherly betrayals to restore your sect's glory in Windstop Valley.

Gameplay

The game features a unique turn-based tactical system where martial arts moves—External, Internal, and Lightness techniques—are managed via a card deck system. Players manage the sect's growth, recruit diverse allies, and expand their tactical options using 'Tiger Flame Points' while exploring a vast, danger-filled map.
