Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

The “Sekiro Lite” Experience!

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is an action RPG, resembling Sekiro but much easier. Let’s dive into the details.

Story and Setting

Set in ancient China, the game takes place in 184 AD, during the Three Kingdoms era. You play as a mercenary soldier battling rebellion and supernatural forces.

The story blends real historical events with magic. While the premise is interesting, the narrative feels stretched and could have been better executed.

Gameplay: A Treat for Sekiro Fans

The gameplay heavily relies on parrying, similar to Sekiro but more forgiving. Combat includes light and heavy attacks, magic, and martial arts moves.

Magic and martial arts skills unlock as you level up, adding variety and excitement to combat. Parrying feels rewarding and makes every victory satisfying.

Unique Combat Level System

The Combat Level system dynamically adjusts based on your performance. Winning raises your level, while dying resets it to the last checkpoint.

Level Design: A Mixed Bag

While the stages offer diversity in environments, repetitive assets and overly complex layouts can make navigation frustrating.

Performance Issues

The game demands high system specs for its visuals, which aren’t groundbreaking. Frame rate drops occur during intense fights on PC, though console performance is more stable.

Conclusion

Wo Long offers excellent combat and engaging boss fights but falls short in storytelling and level design. It’s a fun experience but struggles with its own identity.

Final Score: 8/10
