Danao Xiyou

Character shapes, weapons and expressions carry the mythology into a stylized game world. Arena environments use different color and atmosphere while preserving a readable play space.

A second interpretation uses flatter shapes, graphic silhouettes and a wider comic character cast, alongside small floating-world environments.
