Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains
Nintendo Switch · 2024
About this game
The year is 750 AD, and the player controls Septem, a knight in a Frankish order under the command of Pippin the Younger.
He is an orphan who doesn't remember his parents, but since his eyes have different colors (one blue, one black), he suspects one of his parents might be of Asian origin.

One day, Septem's commander tells him that he learned from an Arab trader that somewhere in the Far East there is a place that harbors the key to the absolute victory, ending all the wars in the world.
Because of his mixed blood, Septem is ordered to travel to Asia and find out about this secret knowledge.
Xuanyuan Jian 3: Yun he Shan de Bi Duan takes the player across the world of the 8th century, from Europe to Middle East, and through Tian Shan mountains to China, which was then ruled by the Tang dynasty, enjoying cultural prosperity.
The gameplay system is similar to the one first introduced in the second game .
During the battles, it is possible to attack physically, cast magic spells, or perform special actions which deplete the stamina gauge.
The player can also mix items to produce new ones, and recruit enemies into the party in order to summon them in battles.
New to this installment is a real-time element in the turn-based battles, similar to the ATB ("Active Time Battle") system used in Final Fantasy games: enemies would act if the player is not quick enough to execute a command.
AI-controlled characters will sometimes join the party.
The game has pre-rendered backgrounds for most of the locations; battle graphics are hand-drawn, similar in style to Chinese paintings.
The iOS and Steam versions include a bonus episode set in China.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2024.
