Jiu Xiao (�霄繯神記) is a wuxia-SciFi Hack and Slash game developed by Chinese gaming company Impermanence and published by Nazar studios and loosely based on the Gong Changjun novel, Jiu Xiao Ben Yun Zhuan (�霄奔云传).Set in a hollow universe in a future torn by war among various clans, the Heaven's Wheel was activated by God in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the greed of humans from destroying what's left. An apocalyptic wave from the Wheel wiped out the earth, and the only survivors are immortals from various ancient Chinese sects. But the destruction of the world isn't enough to stop their fighting...Bu-yao, the player-controlled protagonist, is a skilled apperantice of the Impermanence sect, an expert swordsman seeking to conquer all the other clans, and an arrogant, near-merciless assassin. Caught in the cataclysm, realizing there are members of rival clans and giant monsters for him to kill, Bu-yao sets off on a quest, uncovering an ancient conspiracy along the way.Initially developed for the PC, Jiu Xiao faces it's own... issues during development. It was eventually released for the PlayStation 4 in 2020, after some significant delay.

Coup de Grâce Cutscene

comment
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: Bu-yao can pull this off with some precise timing, allowing him to pin down enemies. Press X and a cutscene where he plants his jian downwards into a mook plays.

Warm-Up Boss: The first boss is a King Mook Yao-shou armed with a massive halberd instead of Wolverine Claws, is hilariously slow on its feet compared to the nimble Bu-yao, and doesn't have any ranged attacks. It's halberd slash also takes forever to reach the hero. Bu-yao even lampshades how easy the fight is to his comrades:

Attack the Tail: The Taotie boss can only be killed by severing its tail. This can't be done during regular gameplay - Bu-yao depletes the monster's health until it's finished, and then the following cutscene automatically clips the monster's tail.

Humongous Mecha: Xing-Yun, in the last phase of her boss fight, summons a steampunk giant robot as her backup, which she controls from within. It's a Background Boss fought in a circular arena, requiring Bu-yao to time his hits and attack when the mech's vulnerable parts are on the same elevation as him; deal enough damage and Xing-Yun is defeated with Hei Wu-chang, the demon residing inside said mecha, revealing himself.
