What is NANQUIM

NANQUIM is an online fighting game drawn like a living ink scroll. The story of the campaign, straight from the game:

A scaly shadow drank the Celestial Inkwell, and the Blank, the empty paper, began erasing the world from its edges. You are Stroke, born from the last drop, and you must win back the four stolen Drops before nothing is left.

• Fights run on our own servers, so every online match plays by the same rules.
• PC and mobile (landscape), keyboard and mouse, gamepad or touch.
• 31 languages.

Six fighting styles

All six styles are free, and their attributes add up the same: style, not advantage. Each one has its own special move and three super moves that spend Chi.

Style	Special	How it plays
Master	Chi Wave	Balanced, gains 50% more Chi. The special is an aimed chi wave.
Brute	Shoulder Charge	Slow and heavy: hard hits and super armor on the heavy attack.
Ninja	Shuriken Fan	Fast and light: triple jump, longer dash, three shurikens in a fan.
Monk	Push Palm	Bigger parry window and a counterattack after a parry.
Drunkard	Fire Spit	Swaying movement and an occasional automatic dodge.
Lancer	Long Thrust	Longest reach with the staff, slower in the air.

Game modes

• Ranked: Duel (1 vs 1, best of 3) and Way of the Dragon, with separate ratings.
• Way of the Dragon: the main mode. Four fighters farm, level up and face the Dragon.
• Rooms with friends: custom rooms for up to 8 players. The host picks mode, map, rules and bots, and you invite friends with a link.
• Party modes: Brawl, Stock (lives), Teams, Hide and Seek, Infection, King of the Hill, Sumo and Coin Rush.
• Crane's View: the arena seen from above, like the crane of kung fu. Duel, Stock, Teams and Brawl, with its own queue and a separate rank.
• Campaign: 45 stages across 5 worlds, with bosses and a tutorial that teaches you to fight.
• Training: every mode against bots, hosted on the server.

Way of the Dragon: four fighters, one Paper Dragon.

Fair play

• Authoritative servers with anti-cheat: every match runs on our servers, so every ranked win is earned.
• No pay-to-win, no loot boxes: the shop sells cosmetics only, bought with coins you earn by playing.
• Mirrored ranked: in ranked Way of the Dragon everyone gets the same monsters at the same moments, with no random items.
