A new MMORPG is coming out in China. The game is called "The Incorruptible Warrior." The game has some contemporary Chinese qualities to it -- such as, for example, total disregard for copyright laws, and the punishment of corrupt government officials. 

Corruption has long been a well-publicized element of the Communist Party of China. However, in recent months, amongst tainted dog food and tooth paste scandals, and stories of cardboard-fortified pork buns, the Chinese government has attempted to reign in excessive corruption. And now, following the recent real-life execution of the government's food and drug safety officer, "The Incorruptible Warrior" game has arrived.

The game is part of 'China Anti-Corruption Culture Gaming Net', which is funded by the Communist Party Disciplinary Committee of the Haishu district in Ningo city. In "The Incorruptible Warrior", amongst standard MMORPG fare -- such as collection gold and gaining experience -- the player assumes the role of a virtuous and honest governmental official, who is tasked with the maiming and killing of magistrates which have fallen astray by the temptations of corruption. Using wizardry and a fine assortment of weapons, the player is tasked with eliminating corrupt officials throughout China's past, such as the regicide-friendly eunuch Zhao Goa of the Qin Dynasty, and the infamous hoodlum, gambler, and head of court, Wei Zhongxian. Fighting on your side will be some historical Chinese paradigms of justice, such as the Ming Dynasty's Hai Rui.

Judging from "The Incorruptible Warrior", killing the corrupt governmental official himself is not enough. To complete the job, you (the player) are also tasked with killing the official's mistresses and children as well.

The goal of the game is to reach "Honest and Corruption-Free Paradise", where the player can "turn society into an incorruptible wonderland where politics are clean and the people live and work in peace."

The game was only released on July 25th, but due to some Chinese media exposure, downloads have already topped 100,000.
