The enfeoffed nation “Wan Yan” has enjoyed thousands of years of peace but is now on the brink of disintegration, with the flames of war devastating the land over several decades. The northern military powerhouse - Lu, has continuously absorbed neighboring countries in the past century, becoming an unrivaled force within Wan Yan. The newly-formed Seven-States Union in the south, under the leadership of Hong, opposes Lu and is trying to rally more countries to join the alliance. The primary setting of the game - the Kingdom of Bo, is caught between these two major powers.
Eleven years ago, Bo was attacked and destroyed by Lu. The old territory of Bo was occupied by Lu. Eleven years later, the crown prince Huangzhu led the allied forces from the Union in a surprise attack on the former capital of Bo and successfully reclaimed the country. However, this war of restoration might just be the beginning of a series of chaos…
In Elysium Above, players will assume the role of a mid-level commander in Bo, helping the newly restored nation to fend off the encroachment of powerful enemies through clever troop deployment and superb command. As the story progresses, you will become aware and in control of the ambitions and purposes behind various factions. What will be your next move?
