Design

The Grandmaster is a multiplayer fighting game with a "one-hit-kill" mechanic as its core gameplay. In order to ensure that the player's character is not "insta-killed" by others, the player needs to be thoughtful and sensible in applying the game's mechanics such as block stun (defence recovery) and "dash movement with cooldown".

The game is carefully designed with different gameplay and thematic maps, each of which is designed to be compact and offer a variety of gameplay, thus creating a constant atmosphere of tension and excitement.

The art style of the game was carefully considered to replicate the atmosphere of the martial arts style to the greatest extent possible and to provide an immersive gaming experience. In order to create a sense of ambience in the game as described in traditional Chinese martial arts novels, we have also recorded exclusive music for the game through traditional musical instruments.
