History VideoGame / KingdomOfParadise

You play as Shinbu, a Seiryu outcast working as a mercenary. One day, after an escort job, he sees a girl being chased by some men. He soundly beats her attackers. The girl, Sui Lin, tells Shinbu that the whole Seiryuu clan was massacred and that he's the last person who mastered the Zangeki Cut. Thus begins an adventure that spans all of Ouka in an bid to save Ouka from destruction.

It is heavily influenced by Asian culture as a whole, especially the [[TheFourGods Chinese Ssu Ling]], on which four of the five clans in the game are based.

Country names share the same name as their clan gods. To avoid confusion, gods are named by themselves and countries will have "the" or its associated direction before it. For example, "Seiryu" is the clan god of "''The'' Seiryu" or "''Eastern'' Seiryu".

* BossBonanza: Once you get past the last chi gate in Gensei Island, you there are five bosses in a row: Byakko, Genra, Seiryu and Densei (the latter being a BackgroundBoss who [[SequentialBoss fights you right after felling the former]]), and finally [[spoiler:Banko]].
* BountyHunter: Uzo and Muzo are said to be one, but nobody believes they are bounty hunters. In fact, many people believe that ''they'' have a bounty on their heads.

Loading the very same data will allow you to start your NewGamePlus. You get to keep all your scrolls, inventory, Chi Arts, and equipment from the previous game. But your enemies are much tougher to beat.

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] with Shinbu. He was kicked out of his clan for looking at his Clan's monument. He has a home in Chikuan. But since the Seiryu clan was massacred, there is no clan for him to go back to. He doesn't want to go back to his clan to become the clan lord, leaving it to Sui Lin.
