    Just what we expect from Team Ninja. Almost perfect SoulsBorne game which is unique and fresh in combat and atmosphere. Learning curve of combat is hard but necessary. They did turn with that after Nioh like Fromsoft did with Sekiro after Dark Souls and it is awesome!

    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!

    "I'm a soulslike Player from the beginning, but this game is trash..." mimimimimimi... What the noob cannot manage in an 30min session after work is trash. This game is brilliant, it is a Nioh-like in every sense. But its for gamers, not for degenerated kids.

    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

    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!!!!!

    Definitely one of the best action game ever. The game has very great stage design and enemy action design. At the very beginning, I am worried about the action system is boring. But the enemy especially the boss design is so great and each boss is pretty awesome to learn and beat.

    I’ve played every souls and almost every souls-like and this one is really something special. Amazing combat with just the right innovations and a lot of interesting mechanics that really switch up the formula to create its own unique identity in the genre. A true must buy if you are a souls fan.

Some of boss fights are epics (hard by the Way) like Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. I really dont know how someone can rate this game under 9…Well Done Team Ninja and congratulations for the evolution creating new mechanics…

    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

The graphics are inconsistent and looks sometimes better than Niohn 2 sometimes it looks worse. Compared this game to Nioh 2 I would say 1 step forward 2 steps back at the design. You can parry and jump, and no more die when falling, you have martial arts. However, the Nioh 2 has Oni mode, Junjutsu, tons of skills and combo, and weapon mechanics. This game is much more simplified and it let me down a little bit. What I really hope for future DLC and updates is fixing the graphic inconsistency and performance. Also, I really want to add a combos system like Nioh 2, more wizards spells and jujutsu, and more enemies variety.… 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 armor variety in the first few chapters is also not very promising, with only a few different armor pieces that look pretty similar.

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

    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.
