I love the use of the sand to visualize how far or big an attack is. Very smart!

[@erlking5868]

For armor, one of my favorite armor pieces is a blindfold that dropped from one of the blind monks in the 3rd chapter. It increases the timeframe you have for a perfect dodge.

Why all the hate in this comment section? Have any of you actually played the game? Sure, it has some issues, but some of these comments are just ridiculous. I love Souls games (I’ve literally platinumed every one of them), but Souls fans can really be the worst.

I bought the game an hour ago, met up with my first “mini boss” (idk what you’d call them I’m new to this type of game) and let’s just say….i got humbled. Haven’t even played for an hour and I’m already looking up tip videos 😭😭

[@nerdoutreachprogram5358]

Wait for it to be on sale. It’s a good game, but it’s not like the best game ever as the Steam reviews would suggest. It’s much more similar to the recent God of War games than a souls game, familiar feeling combat, exploration, and upgrade system.

[@Romo69]

I have to disagree. It’s not like GOW at all. There is no real story driven aspect to the game, no map, no overarching goal, and the combat is much less forgiving. Some of the upgrading is similar but much more complex and the character doesn’t speak at all. You don’t have any attachment to the protagonist and most levels you wander around until you find a boss to fight. God of war has less then 20 big boss fights while this game is basically a maze style boss run. It’s 90 percent dark souls but the combat is much better.

[@aladdin9098]

how u wanna know the game is good or not while not even owning it and have played it brother? the game looks good and its a banger the reviews speak for itself :-)

[@goroakechi6067]

I disagree. I love god of war. Just passed ragnarok dlc. The dlc was has very similar aspects to wukong. But theyre still different games. Similar mechanics:upgrades,combat Difference upgrades and combat. They have the same mechanics yet play differently. It works out well

[@linus631]

Beautiful Game, all the buildings in the game was based on actual historic landmarks in China, there's video out about it already! ❤😊

[@T-Squeezy23]

I find the counter that nullifies damage to be the most oddly designed choice and ill explain why and its abit convoluted. So you need to activate your heavy attack mid combo but that can only be done at the end of one of your light attack animations. And the timing is so precise and small that you need to basically time your light attacks end point with the attack of the enemy to actually pull the counter off. Even then sometimes a boss enemy will just phase right through the counter and deal damage to you while also knocking your ass to the ground. I hate they didnt just have a dedicated single press button to counter and instead made it this way.

[@Romo69]

Yeah I agree. While I enjoy the game it’s mostly frustrating and doesn’t feel fluid. Just need to rely on dodge and basic staff attacks. It’s buggy, the level design isn’t great and I don’t see why everyone is acting like it’s the best game ever. There are 4 of these made every year, it’s nothing new.

Patches for what? I’ve put in a decent amount of hours since launch and Ive had zero issues

[@GammaCola]

Don't look at this person's skill tree and try to copy it-they must have been testing or something because it was all over the place. 1. Max out the Stamina and Martial Arts tree 2. Fill the in Health/Crit/critDmg/Def/Atk in the Survival tree 3. Only max out points in one combat stance (your favorite) 4. Spend zero points in magic/spirit trees until you're level 90-100 and then start adding points to increase their damage modifiers and time-related enhancements. TLDR: If you have tons of HP, hit and crit hard, and can take a few hits without blowing through all your medicine, you don't need any fluff or magical ability enhancements. Get your core strong and GG.

[@goroakechi6067]

I disagree. Pretty sure the point of the game is to get use to spells. To really explore all game mechanics. I agree that get your core strong you yourself will be strong. I maxed stmina and martial arts tree first. Survival tho? Ive only needed crit increase at max (+5). Ill be honest. I like that the medicine is available (the mortal medicine) but i havent had a need to use any since you dont really need it at all. Instead id recommend someone to upgrade to max mana since spells are hella fun to use. Makes it more of a lore accurate wukong. Strong foundation with powerful spells. 🪄

Imo you don't have to upgrade stamina recovery in the skill tree as its very expensive, and you can get +30 (from 50 base) stamina recovery from celestial medicines for very cheap (best value for them by far)

[@Cafe-O-Milk]

The tree recommendations are to be taken very lightly here. Since you can respec for free, you can basically spec for whatever situation or boss you're going into. Don't underestimate any of your spells.

[@Fextralife]

For example, the bells in chapter 1 are a (pretty easy to find) secret boss. For later chapters, there are hidden walls, collectibles throughout a map which unlock a boss, NPCs that unlock areas etc.

[@monchicruz8278]

Immobilize starts to become rather underwhelming the further you go into the game against bosses where basically they break it immediately after one hit That and other issues such as the limited s (almost none) given by resolute strike means that mastering these moves are not satisfying. Almost any boss will almost certainly smack you while trying to do this move. There are also too many underwhelming abilities you would think the game would reward you by being able to perfect dodge, but there is literary no reward for using a perfect dodge since the game doesn’t let you do any follow up like a lot of games that employ such a feature. In one of the trees there is an ability to leave a clone that deals some minor damage by using a perfect dodges, yet the enemy must hit this clone for it to take effect and the damage is minuscule. Often times you are best served by using cheap tactics like using cloud step and charging a full focused attack. This is a very stark difference between games like Wu Kong and other games like Nioh 2, Sekiro and many other Soul games There are also so many spirits but so many of them are trash Some enemies are almost impossible to stagger, you also are incredibly staggered by just about every move in this game It’s a good game but it’s very obvious the master of the craft between the gameplay of this game and others by other developers. Over all this game’s combat could be so much better than what they came up with. It’s really a pretty game and the locales are simply infused with lore, but I just wish the combat was more satisfying. I guess I’ll have to wait for Phantom Blade Zero for that.

[@Out_Break_Monkey]

Great Video Guide! 👍👍👍 Have the game and plan on playing it after work, so this video helps out bigtime for me.

[@GiraphKing]

You mentioned that you can freely switch between different staff upgrades, but I used the boss materials when i made them, so i can't. I'm not sure why yours weren't spent and mine were.

[@ThatIndianGamerGeek]

I dunno how this game sold so well. The way it is built, where you have to die multiple times and then try to realise what you’re doing wrong; that doesn’t feel appealing to the larger demographic of gamers. Perhaps it only sold so well because it was marketed with a bit of lies on the gameplay mechanic.

[@budthecyborg4575]

How do I use medicine? Like, I've spent half an hour trying everything and there is no button to apply the medicine I have selected. EDIT: Turns out I found a keybind bug on PC. You cannot set the "use on-hand" action to "Tab", it's a disabled keybind but the game doesn't tell you that.

[@upscaled_dN]

I regret buying this game I’m not good at these games… I don’t understand the mechanics

[@MarioGoatse]

It’s all about timing. This isn’t a “mash buttons till you win” game. You have watch the bosses moveset, and remember how it attacks. As soon as they get close, roll out of the way, and then do a flurry of light attacks, only to roll out the way again. Every boss has a specific moveset. Some will attack 3 times in a row, then stop, giving you a chance to hit and build up your focus bar. Timing is the only way you’ll beat the bosses. Try to focus on just surviving a boss without hitting first. Watch out for when you need to roll. You’ll very quickly learn their pattern

Finally a game that has parry mechanics, dodge mechanics multi build possibilities, secret bosses, 25-50hours of gameplay and its from a game studio in China.

[@shaonakolte]

There is no parry, you can get a parry effect after unlocking a skill by pressing Heavy attack button in middle of Light attack combo n that too you have to time it. But there is no dedicated parry. There aren't builds builds more like Jedi survivor skill tree where you choose a way that suits you (stance n spell) n dedicate skill points in those trees (though you have infinite free respecs). The Smith that upgrades your Armor doesn't unlock until mid game n thus until then you only have one viable Armor/weapon option - the one that is most recent as it will have the best stats. Choosing builds based on Armor passives is more of an end game thing but again it's not expansive n is closer to what God of war did or assassin's creed Odyssey n Valhalla. I went in with high expectations n got disappointed with all the lack of true RPG mechanics n build variety but the narrative aspect, storytelling, visuals n the overall experience of fighting is lovely, much reminiscent of final fantasy XVI n God of war Ragnarok n I'm now in love with the Chinese mythology. 9.5/10.

[@cybo294]

​@@shaonakolte I would consider rock solid a parry

[@spccew9818]

​@@shaonakoltewhen I first fought the electric frog, I switched to a weaker armor set, the one that you can craft after killing Whiteclad Noble? Seemed to help some.

[@shaonakolte]

@@cybo294 yeah so is resolute strike but rock solid is locked behind mana and cooldown n resolute strike is locked behind focus charge.. this is not a parry mechanic which classifies the same as any other action which consumes just stamina like dodging, attacking, blocking (no blocking in the game as well). I'm not hating on the game I absolutely love it I'm 45 hours in n just reaching the final chapter.. it's just more God of war like than Sekiro like.. my expectations were different n I had to readjust them once I started playing it n the original comment also felt like a different expectation similar to mine, so I commented.

[@monchicruz8278]

Uh this game doesn’t really have a great dodge, parry, multi build system For multi build just go to the many soul games out there For great dodge that feels satisfying to do just play Nioh 2 or any other game since completing a perfect dodge doesn’t reward you with anything in this game For parry just go to many other games like Sekiro or Sekiro clones

I would just use my abilities until they grayed out, so to be clear, the cool down only happens if there's mana? it seems kind of silly to have a cool down and mana, rather than one or the other. edit: I guess it's not really silly, I'm just coming off of stellar blade where dodging and parrying feel different meters which allow access to different abilities, and it's just taking a little bit of getting used to for me I guess. This is a really killer game though, as was stellar blade. Chinese developers are knocking it out of the park right now.

[@MarioGoatse]

I’m seeing so many people having trouble fighting the bosses. Remember guys, timing is everything in games like this. Your roll is the most important weapon IMO. You want to watch the boss and learn their attack patterns, and watch how many times they hit so you can roll out the way each time, and then take advantage of the opening. Every time you come back, you should be hitting light combos and building your focus meter, until you have a bigger opening to put down more damage. Go into a fight and just try to stay alive for a while first just by dodging and rolling. It will quickly show you just how predictable their attack patterns are. They only have a certain amount of movesets each.

[@spccew9818]

It's not bad advice, but at the same time, bosses like Whiteclad Noble having a 20 hit combo before you get to do anything is just silly.

How can you talk of timing when the game has delayed inputs, combos don't register and the attack animations even with lockon settings tend to veer away from the enemies.

Just releasing an easy mode doesn't fix a game..... ask CDPR they know about that.

You obviously haven't played this game so keep your seemingly detailed opinions out of this conversation 😂😂

[@Jesuswept70]

Doubt it

[@cloud7994]

I’ve played both rise of the ronin and black myth wukong, and I can for sure say this game is leagues above that game.

[@cowel8734]

Rise of the Ronin is 100x better. The combat is so exciting and rewarding. Also you can adjust difficulty. Even after 70hrs I wanted more. Its my GOTY Black Myth isn't bad, but Im having trouble getting excited to play

[@ronpow8783]

It’s just a boss fighting simulator.

[@MarioGoatse]

What a strange comment. So is every Souls game with that logic. Not sure what you expected

[@Drew-vz8fo]

I refunded this game on steam lol

[@GMUClubPickleball]

Why

[@johnhuddleston1986]

Kind of lame you can waste an upgrade on the 1st healing gourd. Still a great game but, REALLY?

[@KimJongUn_743]

The first gourd you get becomes the best gourd later in the game giving you 10 sips

With six hours of play I am getting bored and unfortunately, I cannot return the game.

[@xcenic]

Skill issues for sure. Git gud.

[@PowderKeg3838]

@@xcenic why do you think that? The game isn't hard it is boring. The combat isn't much different than any other smash game but with nothing else to offer. 100% souls games because they are fun. Hell, even Dragon's Dogma 2 was fun while the combat was easy. Git gud, LMAO.

​@PowderKeg3838 you can put more effort into your trolls than that

[@Fextralife]

A lot of people mention getting bored around the start of chapter 2. Try pushing a bit further the levels open up and it gets a bit more interesting. But ofc not every game appeals to everyone

[@Good4Souls]

Idk why but when this guy speaks I just lose all interest in watching

[@NebulaShifter]

I just can’t bring myself to pull the trigger on this game. Maybe when it’s $19.99.

[@Kaido_928]

Same here. Then my gf bought it for me as a gift😅

[@Mavs-1]

If you’re on PS5, definitely wait. But if you have a half decent PC couldn’t recommend this enough. Even on medium setting game looks amazing and the combat is *chef’s kiss*

[@jack_n_kill9043]

That'll be in like 5 years. Sekiro came out in 2019 and is still 40 50 bucks.

[@andray310]

Then you’re just cheap. 70 for this is absolutely worth it

[@brownsuede4413]

@@Mavs-1 It looks great on my PS5 and its running smoothly with performance mode and motion blur turned off.

downvoting because this video has WAY too much content for 'beginners' and spoiled quite a bit - booo :(

[@SJStevens8723]

Can't make a beginner video without a ton of visual spoilers? C'mon man.

[@edk6593]

Game is just one long boss run...no real sense of exploration, finding stuff....etc. Just one boss right after another...while I do enjoy boss fights there are way too many.

[@TonyStank585]

New GOW series did the same. Twice.

[@NatetheGr891]

lol you must have not gotten far! Starting in chapter 2 each map gets progressively HUUUUGE to the point it’s overwhelming with pathways and secrets and things to explore.

[@anonomit8229]

There are secret areas and bosses on every level. The best gear is found by exploring. You can find buffs and upgrade items.

[@HHTwice]

Oh noooo there’s too much gameplay I’m going crazyyyyyy nooooooo

[@MaadhatsOnTwitch]

Theres literally a questline that makes you go back to chapter one to fight a boss

[@nathangreenberg3683]

Ya man this looks good but the amount of currencies upgrade systems and powers just sounds like gibberish. Reminds me of God of War 2. Just don’t have time for that BS

[@SteppingStoneforlifeonmaxlvl]

if you spend all your time comparing things, you'll never be truly satisfied... comparison is the thief of joy my friend

[@nathangreenberg3683]

@@SteppingStoneforlifeonmaxlvl what am I comparing? I said the game reminds me of another game that had similar systems that made it less fun. That’s how you evaluate if you might like a game, by evaluating if it is similar to other games you played.

[@DucatiDiaries]

The game is super fun. I love all the leveling and picking out what I can upgrade each time. Just try the game. You went be disappointed.
