SHANHAI: Myth Origins is a MOBA-style action roguelike inspired by the Shanhaijing. Venture into its otherworld, forge divine weapons with your own hands, wield the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—collect artifacts, bind spirits, and capture beasts. Uncover ancient secrets solo or fight side-by-side with up to four friends.
Legend of the Three Stars
Legend holds that reaching the end of the Three Stars grants immortality. But the three stars that had shone upon the earth for centuries suddenly vanished. Just before they disappeared, a beam of green light was seen striking the land, triggering a cataclysmic explosion. Countless fragments, glowing green, scattered across the world and unleashed a great flood. Soon, wondrous beasts with mysterious powers began to appear. A figure wearing a bronze mask, wielding five-colored mystic stones, led these creatures to tame the deluge, ushering in an era of peaceful coexistence. Then, one day, the beasts turned violent, attacking humans and plunging the world into darkness and despair. Our hero sets out on a fated journey to save the people and uncover the secret of the Three Stars…
Powerful Five-Element Arts
Experience the interplay and counterforces of the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Only by mastering their relationships can you restrain and defend against mythic beasts. Choose the right Spirit Orbs, socket them into weapons or armor, and forge truly unique builds.
A World Teeming with Shanhaijing Beasts
In SHANHAI’s world you’ll encounter beasts with astonishing abilities. Battle them—or use a Spirit-Binding Talisman to capture them to fight alongside you. Why have these creatures grown so ferocious? The secret awaits your discovery. But beware—an unseen gaze seems always fixed upon you.
Unique Weapon-Build System
Discover a wide variety of weapons and gear. Through synthesis and upgrades, craft different legendary sets and skills. Socketing different Spirit Orbs grants distinct properties and powers. Ancient relics bestow immense strength—collect and combine them to assemble a one-of-a-kind god-tier loadout.
You can also employ Object Mastery to control additional weapons that aid you in battle, letting you wield multiple ancient artifacts at once.
Legendary Divine Artifacts
In the game, you can also collect legendary divine artifacts, each with unique powers. From the “Sea-Calming Needle,” which unleashes mighty attacks, to the “Wind-Taming Pearl,” which controls the entire battlefield, and even the “Spiritbinding Talisman,” which binds spirits to subdue mythical beasts—these treasures step out of myth and into the game as trusty weapons in your hands.
Formidable Ancient Beasts
Tackle multiple difficulty modes and a permanent meta-progression system. Grow your hero over time and choose the challenge that matches your strength. Mighty ancient divine beasts await—overcome trials, defeat them, and prove your power.
Explore Solo or With Friends
SHANHAI: Myth Origins features five distinct playable characters. Explore alone, or team up in up to 4-player co-op. Trade gear, coordinate around the Five-Element counters, and achieve perfect synergy between attributes and equipment.
