The God Slayer – Story Details

Set in a steampunk-inspired Zhou Kingdom, the story follows Cheng, an Elemancer whose family was murdered during the catastrophic “God Fall.” In this world, humans were designed to cultivate energy known as qi, which returns to the Celestials upon death. When some learned to harness qi for themselves, the gods struck back with devastating force. Cheng joins the Star Fall Society to challenge the Celestials and reclaim humanity’s fate.

Martial Arts Meets Elemental Fury

In The God Slayer, elemental combat plays a central role. Cheng will have the ability to engage with fiery fists, along with freezing foes right in their tracks. Cheng can also hurl rocks as projectiles, providing players with elemental-infused combat with flair and style.
