    Trust me: the people rating this game ZERO for keyboard optimization are REALLY sus and they probably never have a chance of beating Lu Bu anyway. Go away.

    Im Playing on PS5 and so far enjoying it, even if it does have a high difficulty curve (the first boss is a pain)

    Probably should have just been called Nioh 3 though 8.5/10

    Great combat system wtih counter attacks, deflect, the wizardry spells were very useful. Great souls-like game, like the Nioh games. The boss fights were not that demanding, only the fight with Lu Bu was very annoying. Although the track of achievemnets kinda buggy unfortunately. Mouse and Keyboard support still not some work though. 100% completion took 37 hours of playtime. As a gamepassGreat combat system wtih counter attacks, deflect, the wizardry spells were very useful.

    Story is ok what makes it interesting is all the refferences to Chinesse historical figures mixed with fantasy, the combat is perfect and great balance of dept and fun, and it really has so many convinient things that other games of the genre avoid for some reason like infinity resets of all yoour skill points.

    As a fan of the "Souls" games and particularly the "Nioh" saga, I had high expectations for this game. The gameplay is very satisfying, and the character building is complex and in-depth (just like in Nioh), but as always, the storytelling is a bit of a mess.

    Certainly, it's much "easier" compared to Nioh, with the new mechanic for deflecting attacks making the gameplay faster and more hack-and-slash oriented. Many complain about the poor optimization, but personally, with my [GTX1080 / Intel E5-1680 (4.4ghz OC) / 32GB DDR4] setup, I managed to play at a stable 60fps by lowering the graphics settings to minimum and making some tweaks with Nvidia software. Fortunately, Team Ninja is releasing patches to improve the situation.

    I recommend everyone to give it a try, and it absolutely should be played with a controller!    … Expand

    As others have said, its the sekiro of the nioh series. Sadly the story and more specifically the storytelling is a big mess. Nioh was already confusing but with a bit of research you could get a grip on it. This is just insane. Allies becoming enemies in 1 mission. Next mission they are back to being allies. Crazy mcguffins left and right and so on.

    The Morale system has been implemented really well, basically you can adjust the difficulty as you please. Game too easy? Fight with less morale. Game too difficulty? Fight with max morale, also get some friends to help you out! Also the level up cap is very generous. Love this game!

    As for me game feels like interesting collaboration between Nioh and Sekiro. By Nioh part i mean loot system kinda similar to ARPG like POE Diablo and etc. where you can get several similar base item with different substats spells and so on. By Seciro part i mean a stamina system and parry based battle system.

So as for me this cocktail of both game work really good (i'm surprised that alot of people think opposite).I read a lot of negative reviews and i have one question did you even read what this game say to you? but probably at first few hour i also doesn't read and tried just to rush and panic roll the first boss but that doesn't work. And that the main reason why first boss so hard for most people i think devs maked it so hard (in case if player dont wanna parry his attack) to make player understand timing of attack, teach player how to parry, and understand main philosophy of the gameI say it this way because if you embrace it and start playing with the parry mechanic (I think it's only needed for a few bosses, to be honest), the game seems a lot easier than Elden Ring or the Souls games. But lets talk about other aspects of the game it has good sound and graphical parts - it looks and sound kinda pretty in chinese art style. Another aspect that cath me fo several hour is blacksmithing you can reforge your weapons increase it stats change substats and eveen transfer look of the other weapons to your favourite one. Plot is also kinda ok (cuz i don't got it XD) some thing about friendship power that can beat even world evil. As a conclusion it's great game for someone who enjoyed souls like games / nioh and ARPGs. Just try that game (if you didn't) and if you beat first boss you probably complete all game without any difficulty.… Expand

    Souls açlığıma bir süre iyi gelecek oyun oldu. Sekiro gibi parry'ye dayalı olsa da mekanikler onun kadar keskin olmadığı, oyun da onun kadar zor değil. Ama yeterince tatmin ediyor.

Bu moral seviyesi düşman öldürdükçe    Souls açlığıma bir süre iyi gelecek oyun oldu. Sekiro gibi parry'ye dayalı olsa da mekanikler onun kadar keskin olmadığı, oyun da onun kadar zor değil. Ama yeterince tatmin ediyor.

    Souls oyunlarına getirdiği bazı yenilikler var. Bunlardan ilki, genele bir level'ınız bulunduğu gibi, bir de her bölüme geçtiğinizde sıfırlanan bir moral seviyeniz var. Bu moral seviyesi düşman öldürdükçe artıyor ancak siz ölünce de düşüyor. Düştüğü minimum sayıyı artırmak için haritadaki bayrakları bulmanız gerekiyor. Bu bayrakların bir kısmı bonfire işlevi de görüyor. Bir bölümdeki moraliniz en fazla 25 olurken, bulduğunuz bayraklarla düşme seviyesini 20'ye kadar çıkarabiliyorsunuz. Bence her yeri keşfi teşvik eden güzel bir yenilik olmuş.

    Oyunda ruh seviyeniz var. Bu ruh, özel yetenekleriniz, büyüleriniz ve parry'leriniz ile artıyor. Stamina gibi ama biraz farklı. Mana ile birleşmiş gibi. Bu bar tamamen dolunca karakteriniz bir süre hareketsiz kalıyor ve saldırılara açık hale geliyor. Düşmanınıza hasar vererek, saldırılarını geri püskürterek siz de onun barını doldurup savunmasız hale getirebilir ve öldürücü vuruşu yapabilirsiniz. Boss savaşlarında çok işe yarıyor. Direkt tek atmıyor ama epey can götürüyor.

    Oyunda büyüler var ama bana çok işlevsel gelmedi. Birçoğu gereksiz. Benim en çok kullandıklarım silahınıza elektrik veren büyü ile hasar verdikçe canınızı artıran büyü. Özellikle ikincisi sayesinde büyücü olan ve yanına 20 tane kendisinden spawn'layan boss'u geçtim.

    Oyun ortalarına kadar çok ilgi çekici gitse de özellikle son çeyreğinde hafif sıkıyor. Bunun en önemli nedeni artık hiç yeni düşman tipi gelmemesi ve çevrenin çok tekrar etmesi. Hep aynı düşmanları, benzer yerlerde öldürmek sıkıyor. Ancak boss'lar için aynısını söyleyemem. Birbirlerinden çok farklı boss çeşitleri var. Çoğu da gayet tatmin edici. İki boss'la kapıştığımız ve birinin diğerini silah olarak kullandığı savaş epey farklıydı mesela. Ama boss savaşları genel olarak kolaydı, bazısını tekte geçtim. 1-2 tanesinde bir saat uğraştım.

    İlk defa bir souls oyununda kargı benzeri bir silah kullandım. Oldukça da keyif aldım.

    Yapımcı Nioh'taki loot ameleliğini aynen devam ettirmiş. Hatta bir kaç yerde envanterim doldu. Bir de onları satmakla uğraştım.

    Bölüm tasarımları bence gayet iyi. Küçük haritalar, keşfedilebilir yerler var. Elbette From Software oyunları kadar iyi dizayn edilmiş değiller ama dümdüz koridorda da gitmiyorsun sonuçta. İnsanı yormayan, keşfi teşvik eden ve bunu ödüllendiren bir dizayn benimsemişler. Nereye gideceğim demiyorsunuz. İyi bir denge tutturmuşlar.

    Hikaye gereği yanınızda 1-2 npc sizinle beraber savaşıyor. Düşmanın ilgisini çekmek dışında bir işe yaradıkları söylenemez.

    Neticede 26 saat oynadığım, son çeyreği hariç gayet keyif aldığım, düşman çeşitliliği yetersiz olduğu için başyapıt olma fırsatını kaçırmış bir oyun olmuş.    … Expand

    + Weapon/armor upgrade system is well done, you can salvage looted armors and weapons to get upgrade materials as well
    + Embedding is pretty cheap, being able to get supplies from battle flags is also helpful
    + Wizardry spells are meaningful but not super OP. You still need stamina to cast them, which means you have to actively attack the enemy at the same time. It encourages a mixed combat where you parry, use martial arts, attack and use your spells at the same time.

    - Enemy variety is shallow
    - Morale system is masterfully done, encourages you to explore the map, however caveat here is the lack of enemy variety which makes the morale grinding a bore, which ends up making the morale system also a bore
    - Most bosses are not memorable and unique and a certain pattern of "oh, your friend is now your enemy because of this evil demonic arrow" is used TOO much
    - Story is too convoluted/uninteresting. Also, a certain pattern of "oh, you were looking for the Elixir but someone stole it and run away" is used TOO much

    已经有段时间没有玩到这么带感动作游戏了，卧龙无疑是我近期体验最爽快的动作游戏，年初速通了仁王也是为了更了解这部游戏，实际上开始游戏时也确实是很浓的仁王味，开头就是争夺丹药，下一个镜头出现伦敦塔都不奇怪了，剧情的发展也毫无悬念，玩家扮演的义勇军侠客帮助各位三国知名豪杰战胜妖魔最后战胜黑暗道士的故事确实很好猜。已经有段时间没有玩到这么带感动作游戏了，卧龙无疑是我近期体验最爽快的动作游戏，年初速通了仁王也是为了更了解这部游戏，实际上开始游戏时也确实是很浓的仁王味，开头就是争夺丹药，下一个镜头出现伦敦塔都不奇怪了，剧情的发展也毫无悬念，玩家扮演的义勇军侠客帮助各位三国知名豪杰战胜妖魔最后战胜黑暗道士的故事确实很好猜。

    游戏的战斗系统跟仁王可以说完全不同，化劲系统很好地通过游戏性展现了中华武术的以柔克刚，转守为攻，只要操作得当，马上就可以将致命的杀招化解成优势，在增加自己气势的同时大幅削减地方的气势，每个关卡设计又是动态的气势等级决定玩家的攻防属性，这样就不太会受等级影响太多，装备系统这块依然是按照仁王的路子来的，不过这次完全不需要疯狂更新装备来保证防御值，而是固定好了数值只需要通过强化增强即可，这点非常对肝非常友好，不需要频繁更替装备。游戏的战斗系统在前期基本上就能全部解锁，在熟悉了系统之后马上就能快速上手，这作的中华要素非常多，中国的“五行”也在游戏中通过属性的相生相克来展现，比如身上着火时只需要释放“水行”的奇术就能以水克火消掉异常状态，玩起来的时候特别有意思。

    夸了这么多接下来说几个缺点，首先是画面依然比较跟不上时代，技术方面也是，没有常见的DLSS技术就算了，就连顶级旗舰显卡4090也会掉帧，还有时不时出现的闪屏也有点恼人，好在没在首领战的时候出现掉帧的情况，这点就姑且放过，关卡设计也没有什么长进，依然是很线性的扁平地图，在我的公式化推图下毫无难度可言，支线任务更是滥竽充数的地图重复利用，虽然长度缩减了不像仁王那样又臭又长，但跟主线比较支线还是很粗糙。美术这块场景跟仁王非常相似，因为题材相似度极高，有些贴图素材看着就像是仁王那直接挪过来的，人物美术这块就很满足了，个人最爱的吕布，造型壮硕帅气，让人一眼心动，然后就是早早出场的红晶了，果然日厂的女性模型从未让人失望，在政治正确横行的今天看着舒适又养眼。

    《卧龙：苍天陨落》以仁王为基底，大幅改动了其动作系统，融合了大量中华武术以及中国古代元素等设定让游戏充满特色，虽然优化问题依然需要修复，但游戏素质本身即优秀，所以大醇小疵。

    My only issue is that It crashes pretty often, but regardless of these issues, the game is still 9/10 for me.
    Most of these negative comments are about the PC port or the difficulties with the mouse/keyboard.

The story isn't anything ground breaking, but the gameplay is a fantastic blend of Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Nioh. Unfortunately it only rarely treads into the Sekiro territory during the Lu Bu boss fight, and in the final fight. I think if it had stuck more to that premise, and kept a more consistent difficulty curve, it could have been something truly memorable. That said I still think this is a very good game, and would gladly recommend it to anyone who enjoys skillful action games, and/or the Three Kingdoms setting.… Expand

    The name of the game is “parry”. Whatever the problem is, a well-timed parry will save the day. But if you can’t handle parrying mechanic, you’ll lose, no matter what tactics you use and what your equipment is. [page 52]

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is another solid entry from Team Ninja and is a good option for you that wants to try the Soulslike genre for the first time. Deflection/Parry and the Morale System are the two main mechanics in this game, and Team Ninja manages to implement them incredibly well while making them seamless with other aspects in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
