Following the trend of the Xuanyuan Jian series, this game is another side story that uses the engine from its immediate predecessor in the main series, in this case Xuanyuan Jian 5. The game is played as a traditional Eastern role-playing game using primarily the mouse and keyboard as shortcuts. Elements from previous Xuanyuan Jian games are present, such as the monster-item merging system and an updated variant of the semi-turn-based battle system.
