    - 25 - 35 hour long.

    -very repetitive fun gameplay, unoptimized, little enemy variety for souls games.

    -only very challenging 1st boss and lu bu.

    -good amount of bosses, cute baby pandas and like sekiro gameplay.

    I was able to get to the second phase multiple times but the pace of the deflects changes drastically. Also the deflect window is inconsistent and the hit boxes for the first boss are obscene, making any dodging impossible. The same is true of the second phase. If it were a single phase I could understand it. I think I will stick to From Soft games. At least there I can find multiple ways to progress.    … Expand

    I've really enjoyed the game so far and the bosses aren't too hard but after 2 to 3 tries they become pretty easy only problem i'd have would be the movement when im trying to get to places.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

The second problem is the bosses. The first half of the bosses are elementary bosses that are passing with 1 try, the other is unbeatable monsters that can not be passed, and for the 50 attempts only if you do not clean the entire location, which will give you small advantage over the enemy in the form of higher levels. Bugs were not noticed, it was interesting to play, and investigate the location, too. The plot and characters are interesting only if you are very much interested in the Chinese style, although it is made by the Japanese. Basically if you love the souls like genre then you can pass, if not I would rather play Sekiro with which a lot has been taken for this game.… Expand

    Wo Long is a bad game; made by amateurs using the skin of previously good games related to it, to disguise it's significant shortcomings.

    I've 100%'d it and beyond and played 175 hours. I have everything, I've done everything. I've experimented extensively with everything. Every spell and skill, all weapons and armors and bonuses, in every mode. I'm the only one I know of who has no-hit the bosses on NG+ legit no cheese and have the final title that comes with that accomplishment. I probably played the game much more than the devs have.

    This game is a lesson in paying attention to the credits to discover who was working on the game and who was not. Since it was made by Team Ninja with significant visual Nioh influence, I figured it would be good. I was significantly disappointed. It seems most of the Nioh team did not work on this game. This feels like the C or D team made Wo Long. This is the director's first title and it massively shows. I feel lied to and taken advantage of. This game is a hollow shell of a real game. It is without substance. The core components are there but this feels like a rushed demo than a real game. Perhaps this was a tech demo game in the same vein as Chaos Legion was for Devil May Cry on the PS2.

    But they did release an actual demo and that is to be commended as demos are a lost action in the games' industry and so incredibly important. I'm very appreciative to the company for that integrity move.

    But I digress, Wo Long is a watered down, aka "streamlined", action game in the vein of Nioh/Ninja Gaiden/Sekiro/and maybe a little Metal Gear Rising Revengeance set in the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China.

    However, the characters and events are there in name only. They are tangential, cursory, barely recognizable and hardly significant. It's a poor excuse of a backdrop to rehash the template of Nioh. Amrita is now Elixir, the MacGuffin of this nonsense. Kelly is now Yu Ji and the protagonist is chasing him for what was stolen just like William did. There are one or two good twists I'll give them that, but one important character relationship is a near direct copy of Otakamaru and Suzuka from Nioh 2. Yuan Shao honestly complains about bonds and laments the power of friendship. It's enough to make you puke with how trite and stupid it is.

    If a computer AI spat out this "story", I would not be surprised at all. Nothing has any impact despite the attempts to. The last stage is a revisit to the first stage, but the character you are supposed to have a bond with only appeared in those two stages and the game acts like it's an epic encounter. No, because obviously we spent zero time with the character we were supposed to care about. It has all the trappings of emotional build up and investment (the music, the stage revisit after time passed, the atmosphere) but falls embarrassingly flat and for obvious reasons that I can't believe they actually tried to pass off. Again, if a computer was programmed to spit this out, I would not be surprised. Beep Boop. Input emotion here. Are you invested? I'm playing the music! Remember this!? Please clap. Hell, they even did something like this in Nioh 2 and it was fairly decent, so AGAIN, with so much taken from Nioh, how did they mess up so bad?

    It's a stolen template without any soul.

    The English voices are terrible but since characters talk while fighting, I kept it in English so I could hear them because gameplay is too intense to read text while in combat, which is always a dumb thing to do in any game. I'm engaged with the combat, why are you having characters talk in the very instance I physically can't pay attention to it. However, the Chinese and Japanese voices seem fine.

    The non-player character designs are not good. Unlike Nioh, it was not gratifying to see famous figures from this legendary setting. Almost no one stood out and I was not excited to see them. This is a great shame because one of the best things about Nioh which took place in Sengoku Japan was wondering whom would surprise you around the corner. And then actually having cool encounters! It was exciting and satisfying. Not so here.

    Even the music is rather bad. Maybe one or two good tracks in the game and I think one or two were taken from Nioh. But the main problem is how much is reused. Too many main levels reuse the same track (snow level and rainy level for example). It makes the game feel cheap and shallow.

    But I will say the game looks good. The effects look good, the sounds are good (when they aren't glitchy -- I had dialogue vanish from a cutscene, return for the next, and vanish again for the following one, except for the nameless grunt soldiers for some inexplicable reason) but it's all in service of bland level design. The game gives you distant vistas in some levels and they look like they are from the PS2 or 3 era. The levels are so boring and uncreative. And t    … Expand

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.

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.

    Good idea releasing a action game that requires timing and have the game perform so poorly that it for many is impossible to time defflections.

    Performance is not the only issue here, as I got to see when my fix for making the game playable still worked, I got to the second last area before the patch "fixed" my performance.
    The moral system, a system that does more harm then good to this game. If you want a challenge and are good the system punish you with making the game easier, if you are bad at the game it punish you by making it harder. This system also undermines the system for leveling.
    The different areas in which missions take place are for the most part ok, some are bad, some are good, and one is so bad it makes me wonder why the devs hate the playerbase.
    Things like the magic and martial arts makes me think that this was either not tested enough or that the devs ignored any and all negative feedback, the cost and risk vs the reward when using them is simply not balanced.

    Still, when the game works as intended the combat is very entertaining.
    If not for the performance issues this would have been a 7 or even 8, but when a game does not work it is a 0.

    Initially my rating was 4 out of 10 because Team Ninja doesn't care about PC users, but they're not ashamed to sell a game without optimisation. They've probably never seen PC and don't know what it is.
    But after a while they released a patch and made some improvements, but by then me and all the other people have already gone through the game and can't tell if anything has changed.

    Despite all this the game itself is fun and dynamic. Surprisingly there's even a not bad story and a bunch of very nice and magical CGI. Nice and atmospheric music.
    There are problems with jumping difficulty that spoils the impression that the final bosses do not represent any difficulty, and on what would be a "Aoye" can spend a dozen tries.
    It's nice that in additional missions there are not only pieces of past locations with mobs, but also the bosses.
    The downsides are there, but overall I liked the game and it was a pretty interesting adventure that ignited my interest in reading the past works of "Team Ninja", namely "Nioh 1" and "Nioh 2", which was a big mistake because I haven't seen anything worse than these games.
    "Team Ninja took 5 steps forward with "Wo Long" compared to the "Nioh" series.    … Expand

    The performance issues from launch seem to be largely gone, making Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Complete Edition a much more attractive proposition than perhaps it previously was.

    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.
