GuJian (simplified Chinese: 古剑奇谭: 琴心剑魄今何在; traditional Chinese: 古劍奇譚: 琴心劍魄今何在; pinyin: Gǔjiàn Qítán: Qínxīn Jiànpò Jīn Hézài; lit. 'Old Sword Legend: Where Is the Heart of the Qin and the Soul of the Sword?') is a role-playing video game developed by Aurogon with the Gamebryo engine and published by Gamebar. The first installment of the Gujian series, it was originally released in China on July 10, 2010 for Microsoft Windows. An Xbox One port of the game was announced in 2014.
Set in a fictionalized version of ancient China, players control Baili Tusu, a young swordsman with a tragic background. Elements of traditional Chinese culture, including mythology, cuisine, fashion, architecture and Taoism, were prominent; the main characters' names are derived from names of alcoholic beverages in ancient China. The game's monsters were inspired by Chinese mythology, and many of the in-game locations are based on photographs and descriptions of historic sites.
GuJian is the first Chinese video game with fully voiced main characters. The combat is turn-based, occasionally including quick time events. It received generally positive reviews, and was updated by Aurogon with downloadable content.
The first sequel, GuJian 2, was released in August 2013. The third game in the series, GuJian 3, was released on December 14, 2018.
