Xianjian Qixia Zhuan is the first entry in the famous Chinese RPG series. Like most other games of this genre, it is set in classical China, featuring supernatural figures and events. Gameplay-wise, it is very close to Japanese RPGs. You control a party of heroes which you navigate through towns and dungeons, buying weapons and accessories and searching for treasure. The turn-based battles are viewed from an isometric perspective. During the battles, the heroes can execute physical attacks, defend, use items, or cast magical spells.

Trivia
The Miao people featured in the game are a real nation, one of the 56 officially recognized ethnic minorities of People's Republic of China (there are also Miao people in Vietnam and Laos). They speak their own language (some linguists consider it unrelated to Chinese) and have their own culture and traditions. Also, the distinction between White and Black Miao really exists and is not an invention of the game. However, portraying Black Miao as usurpers and generally "bad guys" is part of the game's fictional storyline.
