If you’re a fan of the Xianxia style of MMORPG, the brand new Oath of Peak is well worth checking out on iOS and Android right now. And with a Valentine’s Day event taking place as you read this, now is the best time to get involved.
But what is it? Well, it’s an oriental fantasy MMORPG that draws inspiration from the classic Chinese story, The Classic of Mountains and Seas. You may know it better as Shan Hai Jing, but if not it’s a classic Xianxia work – a type of Chinese fantasy.
You play as a Spirit Bender who has to explore the fantastical world of the Omnispirit Continent, taming the world’s creatures along the way. Pretty much any creature you encounter can be tamed, and they include fantasy beasts like the Kirin.
There are five different classes to choose from too, which are based on your favourite MMORPG roles of tank, support, and DPS. That ties nicely into the group content, which spans across PVE and PVP.
If PVP is your bag, then the guild system will appeal to you. You can join a guild with your friends, then head out into the world to battle other guilds in GVG.
That’s without mentioning a lengthy single player campaign. The game is full of content to tackle, be it the exploring the world, capturing monsters, or participating in PVP.
The game was developed by Cangaming Net, who is well known for Xianxia-style games. In fact, you may have already played one of its titles. A Chinese Ghost Story, its most popular release to date, has amassed a whopping 18 million downloads since launch.
Oath of Peak is off to a good start as well. Over 200k players played during the open beta period, before a whopping 500k signed up for pre-registration. Since launch, Oath of Peak has achieved over 500k downloads from the Asia-Pacific region alone.
But now is possibly the best time to get started, with a Valentine’s Day event kicking off. You can head on over to the in-game shop to purchase a special new Hare outfit that is available for 4 days.
If you like the sound of Oath of Peak, we recommend grabbing it on App Store or Google Play. You can also keep an eye out for updates on the official website as well as its Facebook and Twitter pages.
