About the game
Pili is a glove puppetry television show from Taiwan. Unlike traditional puppet shows, Pili never shows the puppeteers and relies heavily on CGI and other various special effects during action sequences, which can run the length of the entire episode. Pili has had meteoric success, with at one point having 90% viewership in Taiwan. Since its debut in 1984, Pili has spawned several spinoff series and movies in various countries. In Pili: The New Challengers, players are new characters in the fantasy world of Pili and will need to quickly enhance their skills and abilities for the epic battles ahead. You will harness qi, gain new skills, encounter legendary heroes, alter your destiny, procure ancient weapons, and challenge legendary characters from the Pili universe. Grow your knowledge and skills quickly as the game ends in an epic battle between players. Will you perish and be forgotten? Or will you fulfill your destiny and become a Pili legend?! —description from the publisher
