    For al Nioh fans a hell yeah! Three kingdoms fan? Even more! Combat and customization take the main stage here that's for sure and while the story is pushed a little more to the back this game is a game of the year contender for me!

    Honestly this is the best game I have played in many years! I feel like I'm learning new gaming skills every chapter and some of the boss battles are just groundbreaking INCREDIBLE! Haven't experienced this kind of feeling since Nioh 1 and 2! The one before that was the Ninja Gaiden games. You have to play this to see what I'm talking about! So stylish, so cool, so satisfying!!!!!

    Amazing. It is my dream coming through. It is a sekiro game with the leveling as dark souls. The pace of tge game is frenetic. The looting garbage did not bother at all. The cons are the graph. Ps4 graphucd, not new generation.

In terms of difficulty, it can be likened to a fast-paced version of Elden Ring, making it kind of a challenge. The battle system is unique, with DEFLECT requiring you to counter your enemy's attacks within a split second. Cheesing your way through boss fights is not an option most of the time. This game has a steep learning curve, so GIT GUD.

    Character creation is a standout feature, offering extensive customization options (Unlike Elden Ring, you look ugly no matter what you do.)

    The story is best appreciated by those with knowledge of the Three Kingdoms universe. The identity of the blindfolded boy remains a mystery until the end, leaving room for educated guesses (I guess we are looking for a sequel?). The dialogues are filled with fine details that closely resemble the history of Ancient China. It's understandable why some reviewers didn't rate the story higher, given the challenge of fitting a 400-hour story into a 40-hour game.

    For trophy hunters, there are no missable trophies, but three roadblocks to getting the platinum.
    1) The first boss (Who the hell designs a first boss with two phases?)
    2) The boss riding a horse (appears halfway through the game, and you can't miss it. Unfortunately, grinding before this boss fight is out of the question, as I did not find an efficient grinding spot before the fight.)
    3) The final boss (If you care, you can grind to max level and make the final boss a cakewalk.)

    Some complaints:
    There is room for improvement in the equipment system. While there are many options to choose from, only a few of them matter. Additionally, 1-star to 3-star equipment becomes useless after the first few chapters of the game.
    I wish there were more tutorials available. Many of the game's mechanics are left unexplained, leaving players to figure them out on their own.    … Expand

    Wo-Long Fallen Legacy s'installe dans la Chine ancienne au coeur d'une histoire chevronnée de succès.

    Dans les traditions mystiques anciennes, Wo-Long vient tendre son expérience video-ludique à la lumière des croyances de la Chine Antique. Là où les mystères des cinq éléments connues des occidents notamment par l'acuponcture, Wo-Long vient complexifier les méthodes d'identification par un aspect scientifique d'usages. Les protagonistes disciple de l'histoire auront chacun une perception accrue, personnalisée selon leur propre implication. Débutant l'histoire par la personnalisation de votre propre antagoniste, il vous est possible d'entrer un numéro d'identification afin d'obtenir un personnage déjà bien construit. À noter, qu'à ce niveau, rien n'est configurer pour les statistiques mais, uniquement au niveau du visuel.

    Wo-long vous plong directement dans l'action en mettant en place un dictaciel ayant un Boss. Rien à voir avec les titres similaires, la mécanique principalement basée sur l'esquive et les contre coup vient changer l'ambiance d'un Nioh. Les arts martiaux principalement construit de façon circulaire, nous apprend vite à nous méfier des fenêtres entre les attaques et les esquives. Le titre force ainsi une souplesse agressive et de témérité. L'accomplissement de votre protagonistes se construit peu à peu selon vos armes de choix et vos paramètres incluant vos armures et les attributions disponibles via la forgerone. La mise à jour, la remise à zéro de vos statistiques entre les points d'attribution selon les éléments est disponible gratuitement via le sage du village caché découvert tôt dans l'histoire. Ce qui est valorisant de pouvoir librement tester différentes configurations.

    L'index est complete mais étonnons-nous de ne pas avoir ce savoir de cette Chine qui nous est inconnue.

    Les différents niveaux sont généralement parsemé d'un Boss à la fin.

    Le titre est plutôt agréable et très intense. C'est un titre ayant de beaux attrait visuel et des modes graphiques personnalisables.

    La trame sonore est bonne malgré une même séquence continue lorsqu'il y a interactions pour le combat. La difficulté est présente, par contre, lorsque mécanique est acquise et ainsi apprise, le titre devient plus fluide et l'on comprends l'idée de Team Ninja.

    En ligne, vous aurez la possibilité de vos alliés à deux joueurs. Vous aurez aussi la possibilité de vous faire envahir ou d'envahir un autre joueur sur un champs de bataille.

    Ce titre est bien nouveau et plusieurs adepte des tendances de ce genre offrent des solutions de builds sur YouTube. N'hésitez pas à écouter quelques tuto afin de comprendre le potentiel de ce titre.

    Bravo à ce titre téméraire. La Chine Antique, cela va peut-être vous donner goût d'assister au Spectacle de Shen Yun.    … Expand

Outro problema é a duração do game, finalizei todas as missões antes do último chefe e mesmo assim terminei o jogo em menos de vinte horas.

    Finalizei o jogo, mas não explorei o Endgame e nem o Novo Jogo +, que creio ser uma parte importante da experiência proporcionada pelo jogo.

    Nice Level design, quite Nioh-ish but more vertical (another Sekiro influence).
    Not-so-good graphics, levels and characters looks quite updated for a PS5 game (models from a DW game maybe?), but some bosses are very good in the other hand.
    Boring story, jumps from the Yellow Turban rebellion into another 2 or 3 major battles with the elixir gimmick.
    Main antagonist is another Kashin Koji wannabe, quite generic/lame.

Crazy mcguffins left and right and so on.

    This game is simply superb. The combat is outstanding and the expiration is fantastic. Each level has so many interconnected path ways and secrets to find I can’t believe how well team Ninja pulled this off. My only con for the game is the story. I have trouble keeping track of the all the characters. Otherwise this is an easy recommend for anyone who likes souls style games and/or Sekiro.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a game which takes some time to warm up to, but when you do it unravels an experiance full of intense gameplay and challenging combat. It takes a different approach to telling a Three Kingdoms story and feels very much like it ties nicely into the world of Dynasty Warriors, which lands really well.

    To compare this game to anything else, I would suggest considering this as a nice blend of Sekiro, for it's setting and split second parry style combat and Ninja Garden for it's loose, dodge-heavy gameplay. If you aren't a fun of crushing and hard games, this isn't the game for you, as you will die over and over. The first boss you come across is one of the hardest and cruelest starter enemies I've ever had to face and it forces you to 'get gud' right away to be able to beat him. I can see why some people really don't like this game, as it seems to have a "love it or hate it" reception. But if you like all things "Soulsbourne" and "Sekiro", you will feel right at home with Wo Long. Though, I suggest trying the Demo before purchasing as this gives a really nice idea of what to expect for this title.    … Expand

If not, then it’s still a fun game.

    There’s build diversity and the deflect system adds a lot of the addictive nature of the fun. I played the beta demo back in last Sept, it was a more challenging game but still fun. The released version is a bit easier than the beta demo for 2 reasons:

    1. They increased the parry timing’s window to make deflects easier to pull off. They were very hard in the beta demo.
    2. The “stamina” gauge still lets you perform actions when it’s in the negative. There’s a big risk in doing so but it doesn’t stop you like I’m the beta demo.

    The performance on PS5 is good. No problems or noticeable dropped frames during times of intense combat. I have 10 hours into the game and encountered mild stuttering a few times at random spots like running around a corner with heavy terrain but no enemies. There isn’t a pop-in problem like on Xbox. At this time, PS5 is the best optimized port of Wo Long.

    Gamer creds: I’m a Soulsborne fan that’s played everything from Demons Souls to Elden Ring but haven’t played Sekiro (yet). I tried Nioh 2 but bounced off it. Nioh 2 felt too aggravatingly unfair. Wo Long feels different, is more approachable and provides a generally fair (but not perfect) challenge.

    Watch out for that stage 1 boss though. He’s a gatekeeper to make sure you nail down how to deflect a critical attack then counter attack.    … Expand

    A thoroughly enjoyable and challenging game that I keep playing despite having beaten it already. There are a few things I wished it did a little differently, but overall, I can easily recommend it.

    El mejor souls-like que he tenido el gusto de jugar, Team ninja es sin duda la única compañia que ha logrado entender el sistema de los juegos de From Software, y este juego es la prueba.
    El combate es muy satisfactorio, los enemigos son exigentes pero no injustos. Los jefes tambien han tenido una gran mejora en comparación a los de Nioh, un gran juego con una gran OST y muy buen diseño.

    Hope one day Team Ninja will also take inspiration of Fromsoftware in terms of level design and art direction. because environments and ennemies are quite boring. Not very entertaining when you decide to make a die/retry kind of game. Dont trust the high score. I dont get mainstream media these days...

    Morale (farming) system and companions lower the difficulty for those not as proficient in these type of games, but can be completely be ignored if you know what you are doing. Execution is key here.

    As a fan of soulslike, this hits the mark. The controls make for good combat, the camera, while customizable, can be slow, and the story will take you for a ride. WO Long truly takes what Onimusha does and makes it a great soulslike experience. This is truly a great successor to the Onimusha series and proves those types are not forgotten.

    What a terrible disappointment. I expected the combat at least to be fun, but after several bosses I want to hurl my controller through my monitor. The almost exclusive reliance of this deflection mechanic is terrible for me and many others, it seems. The morale system is stupid and broken, reducing itself if you don't deflect.

    Combat is clunky and story is poorly written and boring. The biggest problem is the way you parry, it's the same as dodge which is a poor choice. They should have just done what sekiro did where L1 is parry and circle is dodge. I wouldn't get this game at full price, just wait until it's on sale for like ten dollars.

Compared to Nioh, the game is rather easier, more friendly and forgiving and offers a more simple, watered down edition, both loot and builds wise. Not so like Diablo, just easier to access. I have no complains gameplay wise. Sound is good. All is good and fair. I have heard people who have spent 3 thousand hours on nioh complain about bs fights and the game being unfair but this is nonsense if you ask me. You just have to learn in order to win. If you don’t want to learn then don’t play it. I feel much more at home with what the game wants me to learn and do compared to e.g. hollow knight or something. To me this is to Nioh what elden ring is to Dark souls, although way more simple and to a much smaller scale. Dark souls and elden ring are giant games, Nioh and Wo Long are only big big games, see what I mean. And Nioh 2 is my most played game on ps4. That’s because of the Diablo factor and because the first Nioh run is the tutorial. Here you can practically build from the start and the first mission is the tutorial.… Expand

No Ki-pulse. No switching things up. Omnyo (Magic system) is in no way near as good as in the Nioh Games. What we have instead are generic light attacks that can't be switched Up and 1 strong attack that's pretty much unviable to usw.
    The Game really pushes you to adapt to the parry system. Wich was kind of fun during the first 10 hours, but when there is NO other way to beat any midgame and above Bosses, or duels vs the Story NPCs than to sit back, learn every parry window and spam that stuff, it get's old pretty fast. Your melee-attacks won't do decent dmg, your Special moves will neither, even worse, in most scenarios you'll get punished by Bosses spamming their Specials whilst you perform yours. Or you'll get punished by their Specials while you try poking away with your non-cancelable light attacks.

    They tried mixing up the Nioh formula with sekiro, wich could have been a good Idea, If they wouldn't have kicked out everything that made Nioh 1 + 2 Special and different from the other soulsborne titles.

    My greatest disapointment really is in the forgettable, unbalanced, one-way-approach and boring combat. Even the always repeating enemies where WAY more fun in the Nioh Games. I platinumed every Fromsoftgame and their DLCs, same for both Nioh games and def played them Up and down, back and forth for thousands of hours. Yet I don't think I'll touch Wo Long again after beating the final boss...I really wish I would've waited for the Reviews and could refund the game, wich really saddens me to admit.

    It’s the 21st century can’t believe developers are still releasing games which rely on perfect timing.

    Reason the fromsoft games were fun was even though you died a lot you were encouraged to learn from your mistakes and use these to improve.

    If you can’t get the timing spot on you will struggle multiple times.

    When you’re overloaded it affects timing but unlike the souls game which affects the characters speed this piece of rubbish gives you no indication you’re overloaded.

    There’s no way to increase your weight limit so you have to contend with being overloaded permanently.

    There’s no way to see if the equipment you’re picking up is useful or not till you’ve picked it up.

    Very inconsistent one character first time I killed him I got 4000 qi.

    Started a new game and killed him again got 1000 qi wtf is that about.

    If you try the training mode to improve your skills but have too much equipment you can’t discard any equipment but can’t complete the training mode because you have too much equipment. If you then try to exit the training mode there’s no option.

    If you do master the parry it’s pointless as it’s different for each weapon you use.

    Come on team ninja it’s not April Fools for a month is this an early Joke and did you honestly play test this pile of crap you released a patch fixing bugs 3 day after this was released.

    Just got the platinum, and here is why I wish I'd have passed on this title, at least until they polish it up a LOT.

    - Graphics look great. Sure there's better stuff out there, but this is a good-looking game.
    - Upload/Download to and fro PS4/5 versions. Wish more games had this feature.
    - Fairly deep item/equipment build customization. Similar to the Niohs but slightly simplified.
    - Great trophy list (if that's your jive). Makes you experience the full game with minimal pointless grinding for it's own sake.

    And with that out of the way, here's what sucks:
    The parrying! Don't get me wrong, I've been gaming for over 35 years and Sekiro is in my alltime top 5. This game just didn't do it right. Like, at all. Weapon swings (from every weapon) are too slow to really synergize with fast-paced attacking and parrying, so for most boss battles and a few trash mob fights, you're just going to have to wait out and parry parry parry parry until you break their poise.
    Additionally, lots of enemy attack animations don't accurately reflect the timing of the parry, so you're forced to memorize which ones you do early or after the attack actually hits. When you make a game with tight parrying, this is uber important, but Team Ninja didn't seem to bother with that level of polish.
    Also (more noticeable on the PS4 version) sometimes the parry input doesn't even register. This is kinda crucial, because then if you want to ensure you don't eat an axe to the face, you're tempted to press the button twice. HOWEVER, some genius decided to map dodging to the same button, as a double tap, so then you end up dodging instead, which gives no offensive benefit, and simply allows the enemy's spirit gauge to recharge.

    I really, really wanted to like this game, but it felt like a total chore after the first few hours. Team Ninja was one of only 3 dev shops which I'd buy their stuff no question, site unseen. However, since the first DLC from Stranger of Paradise (base game was freaking awesome, don't get me wrong), it seems like their simply pandering to the elitist faction of the Git Gud club. Great games don't come from a nuclear arms race to see who to make the most challenging one. They come from solid mechanics and decent software performance, both of which were completely left in the dust on this title. Too many critics are giving this an inflated score because they're afraid of their base thinking they're just not Gud enough to enjoy it. Call a spade a spade, this game's not that good.

    We'll see, maybe they can polish this up and tweak a few things. I hope they do. It has the potential to be quite good and fun, but right now it's mostly the opposite of those things.

    Just got the platinum, what a nightmare expirience this was. After 50 hours the parry still felt horrible even tho it was at 90% chance. The game is way to easy compared to nioh and all others. The biggest enemy will be the parry that is garbage. Enjoy running over and over again in levels cause there are no checkmarkers for the collectables and there are many believe me.

    Terrible difficulty 1st boss. Makes the game not fun at all and you basically get stuck unless you learn parry combos. How anyone finds this fun or how it made it through any play testing is insane. I'm swearing off team ninja products if this is the way its going to be.

    - level design is bland and uninspired, with little in way of worldbuilding or sense of discovery
    - there's a lot of loot and RPG mechanics, but most of it feels meaningless, with little impact on gameplay (no matter your build & gear it's a parry-counter game)
    -game's cleary made on a smaller budget: production values, enemy variety, weapon/armor/gear & environmental design all suffer
    - halfway through the only reason to keep playing are the bosses - exploration becomes boring and combat extremely repetitive because you're fighting the same rehashed enemies over & over again

    It's still fun and exciting at times to fight in Wo Long but after Nioh 1 & 2 I expected much more from Team Ninja... and honestly can't they hire a good writer to tell a decent story?    … Expand

    It's a worse Nioh 2 in every way. In fact, they 100% stole Nioh 2's entire story line and even reused the enemy designs. It should have been a 20 dollar DLC that kept Nioh 2's awesome combat but instead we get this horrific magic system tied to a morale score that will take you the entire level to get high enough to use you good spells making magic worthless.

    The combat is boring, you'll find a good portion of your attacks just going through the enemies and if you run out of stamina which is super easy to do, you get stunned by a stiff breeze.

Enemy attack rng is literally unfair and unreadable, 2 red attacks in a row with no chance of parrying both. Serious balance issues. An entire aspect of the combat system, special effects, which are a super dumbed down version of special attacks from Nioh 2, becomes literally irrelevant and unusable partway through the game due to how open it leaves you to attacks. Boss fights last about 3 times longer than they should even at full fortitude. Serious downgrade to how weapons work overall vs Nioh 2. Dumbing down of the combat customization in comparison to Nioh 2. Boring generic characters. Boring nonexistent story. Controls and gameplay overall feel far to frantic and cluttered, the developers just said "make it like sekiro". While the game is more stable than sekiro by a wide margin, the rhythm and feel of the gameplay is somehow less polished and like an imitation. Level design is lacking on a level I did not think possible. Everything looks the same and I run in circles constantly. Just...I don't even know. Too many things to count. I had hope that they had learned from Nioh 2, but they DEVOLVED TO FURTHER DEGENERACY.

    After getting further into the game, the quality, especially in level design drops *dramatically*. Copy and pasted, linear, boring levels, that you MUST explore EVERY INCH of to PROGRESS. One of the WORST, LEAST ENJOYABlE souls likes ever, by far the most linear.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is sadly a step back compared to the Nioh series. It's not a bad game by any means, it's just average. Gameplay, which is it's best aspect has changed dramatically from Nioh and now feels more like Sekiro(only easier). Faster, visceral and more personal,also the addition of "jump" mechanic gives more options in combat as well as exploration. An issue that makes it's return from the first Nioh is the very small enemy roster (bosses are more) and halfway through the game you've seen all there is to see, that affects difficulty because you have nothing to surprise you anymore. Areas are also boring, everything you see is something you've seen before, no surprises here,lazy work from the developers would be the proper word. Visuals are fine but certainly not next-gen,if you played Nioh you know what to expect.
    Music and sound effects are adequate.Voice acting in English language is below mediocre, better play it with Chinese or Japanese voice.Story, which was never Team Ninja titles strongest point (I don't mind) is a convoluted mess, characters come and go with very little time on the spotlight and by the end of the game i could hardly remember 1/3 of them. Maybe someone who has knowledge of Chinese history can understand it better and feel more familiar. Multiplayer is also an option and this time you can even invade other players(which is good), also if you don't like to get invaded there's a setting to turn it off so you can enjoy play with friends without any harassment. Speaking of multiplayer, i played since the day Wo Long got released for about fifteen days, it was very laggy, more than FromSoftware titles,maybe developers fixed the servers later or plan to. Also, Wo Long just like Nioh has NG+ cycle and so on, haven't played though.
    I may sound harsh but the truth is i expect more from Team Ninja, i enjoyed Ninja Gaiden back in the day and loved their more recent works,Nioh 2 especially. Wo Long isn't as good.    … Expand

    Bosses are fast, aggressive, tough. They hit you two times and it's over. But they all have the same mechanics and just different timing. So inexperienced players may feel frustration, while for experienced souls it won't be major problem to get through the game without a scratch. [Issue#326]

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a lovechild between Sekiro and Nioh games with some Chinese mythos and history sprinkled on the top. It is a truly great combat experience that is drawn back by somewhat convoluted storytelling, lackluster decisions to simplify magic and attributes and severe optimization problems. With that said, it is a really fun experience that any fan of the genre will surely love.
