On their journey, Yun and Han meet a Kunlun Clan disciple called Murong Ziying and a beautiful girl named Liu Mengli. All together, their story finally begins…
Xianjian Qixia Zhuan 4 is a traditional Eastern RPG, which requires the use of a mouse. A keyboard is also necessary for shortcut options. The basic gameplay system is very similar to the one used in the third game, displaying a bar showing the turns of the participants in the turn-based battles, and learning magic of five different elemental disciplines. Some of the gameplay aspects have been simplified (for example, magic no longer has levels and casting time). Character-related puzzles have been replaced by field abilities which deplete the “qi” energy of a character - for example, Yun Tianhe can set traps in front of approaching monsters.
