TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #9: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - more than just a Soulslike
Team Ninja’s recent run of games have been unfairly, I think, lumped into the Soulslike genre. The fact is, Nioh, Nioh 2, and now Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty are more accurately thought of as the children of Ninja Gaiden. While they’ve adopted a few of the mechanical concepts popularized by Dark Souls and Bloodborne, their core identity is centered in lightning-fast combat and high mobility, giving players the opportunity to feel like the most lethal thing on the battlefield.
