    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a superb game. It is blindingly fast, fluid and great fun to play. The bosses will have you chewing your pad until you suss out their patterns, and the rest of the action is just as tough - never underestimate an enemy, even a small one. Apart from the loading times, this is one of the best action RPG games on the market.

    If you can look past the admittedly frustrating focus on randomized gear and a slightly incoherent story, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a masterpiece that deserves a place in the collection of any Souls-like fan.

    With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, we are facing a powerful title, which bases its gameplay on a frantic battle system, with an outstanding setting but with a slightly better technical finish. With an interesting story and development by levels, we find ourselves before a "soulslike" accessible and easy to enjoy, with a Qi system that works quite well and some magical trees that give us the possibility of creating very varied equipment.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty lands in a happy medium for the Soulslike genre. It has enough mechanics to stand out from the typical FromSoftware disciple, but it's still familiar enough for veterans of the genre. It isn’t groundbreaking, but its difficulty and the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles still make for a fun (and frustrating) experience. Pair that with a thoughtful use of Chinese mythology that sets it apart from any other game on the market and you’ve got another strong Soulslike to bang your head against until FromSoftware unleashes its next epic.

    In the end, it is a game that is worth trying because despite the small details against it, it must also be said that it meets the goal of all products of its kind, that is to entertain. So, if you're a fan of Soulslike, you can't miss this adventure. On the other hand, if you are new to the genre, you should know that the game must be learned little by little in order to enjoy it to its fullest.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a solid soulslike experience that serves up top-notch combat in a hugely atmospheric setting which incorporates real-life historical events, Chinese mythology and dark fantasy elements. There's a clever battle system at the heart of proceedings here with deflections, ripostes and screen-shaking fatal attacks the order of the day, whilst an innovative morale rank and recruitment system makes for action that's flexible enough to cater for newcomers to the genre. The narrative isn't particularly cohesive, and a handful of the missions on offer are a little too short for their own good, but overall this is Team Ninja's finest soulslike experience to date and a must-play for action fans.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is, at best, a serviceable Souls-like. If you enjoy Nioh and Sekiro, it’s a fun bit of filler, but it’s derivative and bloated, serving as a highlight reel of previous Souls-likes while missing the point of what made its inspirations, and even predecessors, unique to begin with.

    The developers of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty have created a very interesting and challenging title. The storyline is good, but it quickly fadesThe developers of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty have created a very interesting and challenging title. The storyline is good, but it quickly fades into the background, since the challenging battles are in the foreground. These are really challenging from the first second of the game. Thus, some sections will become a big task in the course of the game. After all, you can also use two other companions in the game. Also, the elemental powers are always a good point to have in the very difficult fights. The fights run very well and challenging. The technology and sound make a good impression. So in conclusion, if you're looking for a challenge again, you should take a look at "Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty". Expand

    Мне лично игра зашла, но есть очень много "но", которые очень долго расписывать и они максимально субъективные, напишу поверхностно. Я неМне лично игра зашла, но есть очень много "но", которые очень долго расписывать и они максимально субъективные, напишу поверхностно. Я не любитель жанра соулс в принципе, но эта игра завлекла, ибо это смесь слешера с соулслайком. Ядрёная смесь двух жанров, которая играется в принципе неплохо.

    Понравилась: боёвка, боссы, разнообразие локаций, простая система прокачки, наличие помощи от ботов и настоящих игроков (игра очень френдли в этом плане)

    Не понравилось: система лутинга, апгрейд арсенала, мега затянутый и скучный сюжет который душит не хуже местных боссов, игра слишком быстро скатывается в самоповтор и не предлагает ничего нового

    Red dot flashes - Time to deflect. That sums the game up. It is a poor version of Sekiro and a slap on the face of Nioh2.

    Red dot flashes - Time to deflect. That sums the game up. It is a poor version of Sekiro and a slap on the face of Nioh2.

    It's a fun game - for about 10 hours.

    Mechanics are horrible. No option to change running option from l3 on controller. I can feel the l3 on pain on my thumb and a wearing controller. In a fast paced game you have no options to change the controls which could have been done better like nioh. They did no do that or give that option as they did not want it to look like a copy paste.

    No warehouse options, magic is weak and spells last a few seconds. Moral system of the game is busted. Everytime a new chapter begins they want you to fight the common enemies first. It's their way of saying you cannot rush to the boss.

    Flashy redights become an eyesore, constant companion system takes away fun from the game, spells are a lesser version of earlier games, weapons are not 10 or 12 but essentially around 6 with the rest having same movements.

    It deserves a half price- about 30 dollars which is the worth. Invasion sucks with no rewards and a unbalanced system. Online co-op takes ages to summon as I think they have grouped players into timezones. For a new game the co-op is resting or just waiting. No options to change or select which chapter I want to co-op in. No storehouse, No new spells unless Earth is your spells to choose.

    Bosses are forgettable except Lu Bu. It seems a copy and paste of years of junk collected.. No intricate mechanics to adjust or reshape your character traits like nioh2. It's a kiddy game where your weapon, attire, spells actually don't matter. Just deflect and press square... and keep pressing on that l3 button till your thumbs go numb.

    Wait for a sale and enjoy the game. You will get bored quickly. It's fun but not for the price it is sold at.

    Lastly I am seeing a pattern in most famous souls like you tubers. They have started hiding from genuine feedback to there subscribers. Most of these guys has jobs and now have become full time you tubers. They are just pushing content now. Not a single honest opinion or feedback from any tuber about the drawbacks of the game.

    I still thank Team Ninja for giving a free Demo so we could decide to buy. Us souls players are gullible for games like these whether good or bad. But it won't last long if it continues in this direction...

    Godspeed to All...

The multi-billion dollar business has no obligation to provide valid evidence for something so permanent as a PERMAMENT SUSPENSION FROM ACCESSING ANY OF YOUR PAID FOR CONTENT ON THEIR SYSTEM?!?! The thing is...you CANT leave any real hateful comments and cuss words in reviews or XBOX doesn't even even save them, just blanks it out like you didn't type anything at all. Also I would've never said anything that warrants this kind of permament suspension, at worst I was talking crap on EAs Sims 4 predatory gaming practices of cutting a main game up and selling it to you in 20-$40 "game & expansion packs". So the suspension is complete BS, groups of circle jerks can get together and report something you typed as offensive and it auto-bans you and some lame gamer on a power-trip volunteering for their "ambassador" program (more circle jerks with fragile egos) reviews the ban and appeal. Boycott Xbox, they don't deserve your money with their "woke" parenting of even the lamest of things like GAME REVIEWS. I literally cant even sign into my account to access offline content, its ALL GONE thanks to an Abusive system MS lets auto-handle, the first miss steps of "AI". Buyers BEWARE. Expand
