Kind of wish they’d had put a spin on the Souls Like genre. WuKong’s a monkey, you’d expect more gymnast movement like being able to use the terrain to wall-run, jumping off of cielings, grabbing in combat or some kind of buff from balancing on rooftops or poles. Or even taunts. From what I remember, WuKong himself wasn’t that serious so it’s kind of weird how the character and world is so dry. You could see a mechanic of stealing someone’s useable item in a fight or undoing armor, even just throwing things like an expensive vase to annoy a boss into a rage.

Something the yakuza devs did that I really liked in their spinoff games (judgment and lost judgment). Is that their new protag has chinese/ japanese inspired martial arts techniques that branch away from the older yakuza games more boxing/wrestling inspired fighting styles. They incorporated wall jumping/wall running moves that make u feel fluid and lightweight compared to kiryu, and alot of the different styles have specific niches to them that are best used in specific situations such as Crane being for multi target since its weak damage but AOE and very fast attacks, tiger for DPS and individual fighting, snake for defensive stances and countering enemies when cornered and in tight spaces. And they all reflect their real life instances that they're best utilized quite well. The games are sadly way too easy if uve played any of the previous games at least once or twice and realised that u can stack up on stimapps and all that shit. But the core gameplay and experience are very well made, and if the devs could just add an extra difficulty modifier where health items and other crutch shit isn't available it would be great. We need more variety in terms of enemy design, innovative mechanics, and level design based encounters for games in the future. Games like elden ring and wukong feel so basic since the only real mechanic ur using in fights is the roll button... and I bet the devs are too scared of trying to make specific adjustments and mechanics for bosses in sh*t like elden ring cus they focus too much on giving u alot of different builds that play very differently from one another in termw or character movespeed, dmg, and movesets and some random dude might have a far worse time on the game if he were to go greatsword rather than a katana on a boss that attacks at 500 MPH... So all enemies end up feeling like homogenized mobs with very slight variations in look and movement, but at the ebd of the day only require you to do one thing which is roll and roll and rolll and.... roll again.

The transformations, spirits, stances, and skill trees allow the combat to be a lot deeper than what you presented here. If you think I'm exaggerating just to watch game breaker god play the game. It's a completely different game once you have combat mastery and use what's their. The light attack combo does get tired of looking at but 30 hours in im not feeling combat fatigued I feel excited for new game plus runs to become even more broken and op. Furthermore let me just say stellar blade was a complete joke outside of the attractive main character the combat sucks has no impact to it at all. The boss fights are generic as well and the enemy layouts are a joke. Wukong feels like a game made by a veteran game studio like fromsoftware and that's the biggest compliment I can give it. The production in some of these actions scenes is pretty wild. Some of the bosses even changed the way I think about bosses and what it means to be a boss in a game. The rat you fight at the end of chapter 2 is a perfect example of this. Using the environment against the player and forcing you to be more aware of your surroundings was pretty fresh to see in the game and unique to the genre in the way it was done.

These should make a great epic RPG, similar to Wukong, where you play as a Kotaku intern in the heart of China on a quest to find the diversity. The main goal is to find and interview the last black Chinaman in all of the land, who keeps claiming he holds a claim to the Mandate of Heaven because he and his people were once kings. Along the way, you could get interesting sidekicks, like a rice farmer with a funny hat, and a talking pig, who you will have to save many times through groundbreaking spine-tingling and ultra-difficult QTE segments, so that he does not become dinner for the rice farmer, or get captured by the CCP for defamation. Then they just have to make it an Epic-exclusive, add in a few pre-order editions with knock off Chunko-Pops, and it will be a guaranteed 10/10

The light attacks do little damage, but build up Focus, which is needed to mix heavy attacks with your light attack combo. And that's what does real damage and sometimes staggers the enemy.
@axxessdenied2 ай бұрын
you can get skills to boost your damage as you level up. you can boost the damage of your combos and get the stamina tree skill where dodges dont break combos and then you can use the attacks and dodge sequences to set yourself up. The final hit in the combo can cover a lot of distance so its a pretty effective way of closing the distance against really agile characters that dodge and move around fast.
@sd59192 ай бұрын
I'm only 4 hours in but so far the central flow of combat is you build up focus with light attacks then unleah heavy attacks for more damage. Way it works is during bosses you hit quickly when you can do so safely then find moments to combo into a finisher that spends focus for big damage. It feels better to play than it might look in a video.

I absolutely loved Wukong, one of the best action games out there and harder than most Souls games, its linear and simple, no annoying collectibles or large expanses of meaningless encounters/camps, a ton of enemy and boss variety, story is better presented than any dark souls or elden ring. of course its no perfect game as it has some noticeable flaws, some really annoying hitboxes on larger enemies, I'm not sure about the stances being separate skill lines and requiring so many points, I think they could have really interwoven them better, kinda like how Nioh does it, theres a decent amount of skills and build variety but they could have added more core moves for Wukong, and some other stuff that can be nitpicked. But overall easy 9/10.

It would also partially solve the general feeling that the move-set is too limited.

Here’s a simple explanation of the story of the fox. From the perspective of the second chapter, it satirizes the idea that humans and demons are inherently different. In reality, there is no distinction between humans and man-eating demons; "one thought can lead to enlightenment, and another to damnation." In the second chapter, both deities and demons commit the same mistakes. From the perspective of the third chapter, it reflects the core philosophy of Yellow Brow: reversing cause and effect. If you already knew the outcome of an event, would you still begin it?

I really do appreciate this game as a "Souls-Lite". To be frank I hate most of the boss fights in Dark Souls (DS3 is the only Fromsoft game I've finished), they may have grand spectacle but you'll also often find bosses that basically hard counter your chosen build. And let's not forget the trademark Dark Souls "sprint through a dozen enemies only to start the boss fight at half health". None of that here. You can retool your abilities as often as you like, unlimited experimentation, also a deep flaw of Dark Souls (and even Elden Ring). Wukong is a streamlined Dark Souls and I find it highly successful in that aim. Some people might call Wukong "easy" but actually fighting the bosses in Wukong is a heck of a lot more fun than Dark Souls, which is good because that's basically all Wukong is.
@sd59192 ай бұрын
Wukong feels more like Nioh than Souls which is funny since Nioh is a Soulslike. I guess Souls-lite kind of works for that but it feels like it makes for an unfair comparison somehow. That said I'm in the minority of people who have grown tired of Soulslikes. Bosses in those games now have too many tedious delayed attacks in their combos and the genre is starting to feel samey. Almost every boss in Lies of P and Elden Ring's DLC were just obnoxious. People in this comment section are saing Wukong's mid but I honestly don't think so. It's an easy 8/10 for me.
