The Wind Road is a wuxia-themed, ARPG real-time / Hack and Slash action game developed by Gansu Jiayuan Digital Technology. co. and produced by Phoenix Games (based in Shanghai).Set in the Silk Road during the Ming Dynasty, in an era where lands are plagued by legions of bandits, a swordsman named Meng Jing has completed his training in the Wudang Hills. The best of many trainees and one of the finest warriors, Meng Jing is tasked by his mentor to deliver the Great Karma Scripture to the Imperial Court in a ten-day journey from the desert to the town of Shazhou, who's currently under the control of the feared Barbarians of Grey Wolf. Besides dealing with ruthless marauders and bandit legions Meng Jing also needs to face an evil cult desiring the Great Karma Scripture for themselves.Finally, in a choice of fate, Meng Jing may need to enter the spirit realm to stop the root of chaos of the world.Gameplay-wise, Wind Road follows an open-world exploration style rather similar to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (albeit in a less linear route), with gameplay ranging from interaction with various NPC to having Meng Jing suddenly surrounded by mooks and kicking ass.The game was released on the PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. According to Steam, Wind Road is the best-selling video game from China from it's year of release; an Expansion Pack was later made available in 2023. | |

Playing with Fire: The Fire Elder, as his name implies, and he will send walls of flames on Meng Jing for the entire battle. Master Chou can spam fireballs constantly during his boss fight. | |

Real Place Background | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_20152e12 | comment |
Real-Place Background: The Mogao Caves level is based on the real-life Mogao Caves (a real-life UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the game faithfully recreates the entire interiors faithfully, down to the last cavern. Though we could assume the attached underground tunnels filled with giant scorpions doesn't exist in real life. | |

Theme Music Power-Up: In areas devoid of enemies (e.g. the village square) the background score would play peaceful, serene, Oriental music... until Meng Jing enters enemy territory. Then the music suddenly becomes intense as Meng Jing starts kicking everybody's ass. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: The Brutal Butcher is fought twice in a row, and the cutscene after the second battle depicts him as Not Quite Dead (as Meng Jing leaves, his fingers suddenly twitches). Meng Jing fights him again at the Dead Village's exit, where he now has a demonic form stronger than before. Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, the bandit couple, where their first encounter occurs back to back. They're fought again in the Spirit World as a Dual Boss. The Masked Freak is fought twice, firstly with his pet boar as backup. His second encounter is a one-on-one battle however. Jiu-Erh is fought twice in a row. When Meng Jing defeats Jiu-Erh in her boss fight, Ou-Yang blocks Meng Jing's sword with his knuckle-claws, before Jiu-Erh restores her own health to reinforce her lover. | |

| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: More than one boss fight, like the three monks in the nether realm in the first stage, Master Chou, all their battles were tests for Meng Jing to prove himself; defeat them and he gains the rights to their skills. | |

Auto-Scrolling Level: The chase scene in the Dunhuang desert have Meng Jing on the back of a caravan and pursued by bandits on horseback. He'll need to snipe them from a distance using his bow and arrows (which he has an unlimited supply of) while avoiding arrows fired by bandits, while occasionally some nimble bandit fighters will actually leap off their horses to attack from up close. | |

Sticks to the Back: How Meng Jing travels around with his trusty jian. Somehow he can sheathe and unsheathe it almost instantly despite the weapon's length. When he gains the Neptunian Blade he sticks both swords in his back. | |

Scenery Porn: One of the game's main selling point is it's gorgeous, impressively rendered environmental shots, that stretches miles and miles on the end. From the rendition of the Gobi Desert to bamboo forests and wintry landscapes, each one more breathtaking than the next. Special mention goes to the Mogao Caves' interiors - the stage feels almost like the player's exploring the real deal! | |

Dual Wielding | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_50d71a78 | comment |
Dual Wielding: The large bandit enemies swings dual scimitars. Mrs. Zhou, the other half of the Zhou bandit warlord couple, fights using apair of crescent-shaped curved blades. She can perform a Tornado Move with these, in both her boss fights. Meng Jing himself, who wields his trusty jian as his default weapon but can obtain an Infinity +1 Sword called the Neptunian Blade halfway through. He will use both to kick ass simultaneously. The Butcher, in his last fight, swings two spiked clubs made from bones. | |

Implacable Man: The Butcher simply can't be put down, no matter what. When first fought as a boss, after Meng Jing depletes all his health the Butcher... automatically takes down Meng Jing anyways in a cutscene. Said boss needs to be fought thrice the entire game, and even then the last battle implies that's not the last of him yet. | |

Welcome to Corneria | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_6d07bf85 | comment |
Welcome to Corneria: Most of the game's dialogue. When scouring the village to find the antidote, every time Meng Jing passes an NPC (the noodle vendor, candy seller, stallkeeper, a woman mourning her husband) they'll repeat the same dialogue, over and over again, and due to the length of said stage it quickly becomes an Overly-Long Gag. | |

How We Got Here: The first stage begins with Meng Jing literally falling into the spirit realm for his training, with him defeating three sacred monk bosses - acquiring a new skill from each - before completing the level. Then comes a Title In that reads "7 Days Ago" before the second level flashes back to how Meng Jing wounded up in the realm, which the game catches up roughly halfway through. | |

Gratuitous Ninja: Some of the human Elite Mooks are ninja without being referred as such, being clad entirely in black, wearing face-concealing masks, the ability to teleport mid-battle and moving at greater speed than other regular mooks. In the Ming Dynasty. Although there are historians out there who claims ninjas originated from China, so there's that. | |

Rewarding Vandalism: Meng Jing frequently comes across crates, vases, various potteries and smashable objects, even in the civilain villages where he's not in the midst of kicking ass. And atypical for these types of games, he can break them apart to earn rewards. The animation even depicts him stomping on stuff! | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_b0a86c9d | comment |
Cut Scene Incompetence: Meng Jing can pull off some flashy moves and beat up bosses, but if the game's script requires him to be overpowered, he will be overpowered in the following cutscene after depleting the boss' health, like the first fight against the Demon Butcher and the duel against Master Chou near the end. Taken rather ridiculously in one cutscene where four wolves (easily-defeated enemies in-game) cornering him causes Meng Jing to fall off a cliff, despite how during gameplay (including stages preceeding said cutscene) have him killing dozens of wolves without any problem. | |

Solve the Soup Cans | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_c564ef1 | comment |
Solve the Soup Cans: The dropping cage obstacle. Meng Jing, on the trail of the Killer Butcher, finds himself trapped by a descending cage, and Deadly Gas released around him. How does he get out? Pick up a handful of darts conveniently located on the floor (near some skeletons, which are presumably the trap's ex-victims who failed to solve the puzzle) and throw them to extinguish two flames around the cavern. Somehow the extinguished flames also stops the gas and raises the cage (???). | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the desert tavern stage, Meng Jing was warned by the tavern keeper not to leave the tavern at night, because the dreaded Gobi Bear always hunts at dusk. Meng Jing persists anyways, and inevitably fights and defeats said bear in a difficult boss fight. Sounds a lot like the backstory of Wu Sung the Tiger Slayer from Water Margin (except, you know, with a bear instead of a tiger). Meng Jing's first stage in the spirit realm ends with him awaking in a massive, shallow pool that stretches for miles on end, beneath a dark sky save for a gigantic moon before he's teleported back to the plane of living. Berserk, anyone? The giant alligator boss is introduced stalking Meng Jing before suddenly ambushing him in a cavern, in a manner reminiscient of the alligator from Resident Evil 2. It even Shows Damage when hit, with it's injuries resembling that gator from RE2. Jiu-Erh's Locked into Strangeness moment when she uses her chi to revive, only to dye her hair silver in the process, is blatantly based on The Bride With White Hair. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_ca4e037 | comment |
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Qu Wuxie, one of the bosses, given his flowing long hair, effeminate voice, shapely body and feminine-looking body concealed by robes. In his first cutscene he doesn't have any dialogue and players could very well mistook him for a lady, but when confronted as a boss his voice is a man's. Also, calling him "pussy" or "sissy" is a Berserk Button guaranteed to tick him off. | |

Amazon Brigade: The all-female acolytes, whom are More Deadly Than the Male mooks, one of the Elite Mooks appearing near the end. They all use metal hoops with jagged blades as weapons. Jiu-Erh notably commands a legion of these during her boss fight. | |

Battle Couple: The Zhous are a bandit couple who attacks Meng Jing, one at a time, firstly against Mr. Zhou and later Mrs. Zhou. They return in the spirit realm as a Dual Boss. Jiu-Erh and Ou-Yang, supposedly two disciples training under the same teacher, are a couple. | |

Malevolent Masked Men | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_db88b941 | comment |
Malevolent Masked Men: The Masked Freak fights while donning a red-and-white mask reminiscient of Peking Opera performers. After the battle, his mask drops in a cutscene while he flees, and in the rematch he's mask-less. Master Chou has his face concealed in a sinister-looking metallic mask, one that stays on during and after the boss battle. | |

Bloodlust: How the Butcher is introduced - killing a chicken by biting the animal's throat, and drinking it up before he bring out his cleaver. Apparently slicing the chicken's throat is too civilized... | |

Lotus Position | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_e3432a33 | comment |
Lotus Position: There are key checkpoints where Meng Jing can meditate to regain his health, where in typical Oriental fashion he then sits cross-legged and a swirling energy aura builds up around him to refill his Life Meter. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_e431c24c | comment |
The Brutal Butcher is fought twice in a row, and the cutscene after the second battle depicts him as Not Quite Dead (as Meng Jing leaves, his fingers suddenly twitches). Meng Jing fights him again at the Dead Village's exit, where he now has a demonic form stronger than before. | |

Jiu-Erh is fought twice in a row. When Meng Jing defeats Jiu-Erh in her boss fight, Ou-Yang blocks Meng Jing's sword with his knuckle-claws, before Jiu-Erh restores her own health to reinforce her lover. | |

Chain of Deals | |
| The Wind Road (Video Game) / int_f2159a54 | comment |
Chain of Deals: The village quest have Meng Jing tasked with obtaining a poison antidote to heal his monk friend. Sounds easy? But the medicine man requires scales from a rare, silver-scaled fish, so Meng Jing needs to find the only fisherman in town skilled enough to procure said fish. He finds the fisherman, but then the fisherman said the fish can only be lured by pork, so Meng Jing needs to seek the village butcher. The butcher is willing to help, but asks if Meng Jing can save his protege, an Arab boy named Ahmed, who's taken by some bandits, and due to Chronic Hero Syndrome Meng Jing can't say no... luckily, the rescue is the last step of his lengthy subquest. | |
