Checking out a new game that was recently released by
Team Ninja and Koei. Before we start, most of the ratings on steam and some others have given it negative reviews because it's not keyboard friendly...well that is true, but it shouldn't make this game "Mostly Negative."
This game isn't bad just had a rough start, but let's continue with the review:
Today's game we are looking at today is called
Wo Long Fallen Dynasty.
Summary:
184 AD, Later Han Dynasty China. The land is overcome by chaos and destruction. The imperial dynasty that prospered for many years is now about to collapse.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dramatic, action-packed story of a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty, where demons plague the Three Kingdoms. Players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on Chinese martial arts, attempting to overcome the odds by awakening the true power from within.
Wo Long refers to a crouching dragon and a hero or person of greatness who is not yet known. This is the story of officers, who will later become heroes during their 'unknown' period, and the story of a protagonist's rise from being a 'nobody.'
My Experience:
So yes, this is the same team who created the Nioh series and several of the Ninja Gaiden series, and they continue to make incredible games like this one. The learning curve in this game is abit strict, especially trying to learn how to parry/counter.
There is a growing trend with AAA title companies lately compared to what game companies used to do years ago: have Q&A testers play the game and figure out most bugs and issues. Now we are seeing companies not even test out the game, and the reason why I am saying this is because there are so many glitches in this game, but an epilepsy warning before playing.
I can't tell you how many times in the PC version of the game, there were so many glitches, and the game crashed two times. Even with all of that, the game was still entertaining hope they do a mass update to fix all the issues going on with the game.
Pros and Cons of Wo Long Fallen Dynasty
Pros:
Amazing World Visuals
Good Character Creator
Interesting Leveling System
Easy to play Hard to Master
Alot of Fortitude Grinding
Must have Controller!
Cons:
Very Buggy
Glitches
Not Keyboard Friendly
Crashes sometimes
Verdict:
Overall Wo Long Fallen Dynasty may be very buggy it is fun to play. Still, if you haven't played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, then you might not understand the parry system, or actually, this might help you understand the parry system better in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Wo Long Fallen Dynasty gets a rating of:
Do recommend but wait
Let them fix any bugs and issues until you buy the game, but if you still want the game, make sure to have a controller if you are a PC user!
