Swords of Destiny is a 3D hack and slash video game developed by the now-defunct Artoon, known for the titles such as Blinx, The King of Fighters EX: Neo Blood, and Ghost Vibration. First released in Japan, it was brought out in Europe by Rising Star Games, though there was no North American Release. Before Swords of Destiny, Artoon had been working on a game called Swords of Yi, which may be related, but was ultimately cancelled due to reasons unknown.

The game’s story derives several inspirations from Chinese Mythology and its culture as a whole. You play as Lei Yun, a master swordsman who embarks on a journey to avenge his master’s death at the hands of Yang Yuan, the main villain of the game. Throughout his journey, he will also be tasked with rescuing his master’s daughter from the clutches of Yang Yuan and defeat him once in for all.
