Andrew Koji is a really good actor. He's appeared in Peaky Blinders, Bullet Train (with Brad Pitt) and plays the lead Ah Sahm in the TV series Warrior which is based on an original concept by Bruce Lee and is produced by his daughter Shannon Lee. He also used to work as a stuntman.

I quite like the English dub for this game and it appears that they have used a British studio to dub this. It's nice to hear that they allowed the voice actors to use their native British accents for this game. I wish Wuthering Waves (another Chinese-made game that also used a British voice acting studio) had done the same thing right from the beginning, instead of forcing their actors to speak in fake American accents which resulted in more a subpar performance compared to this game.

On the surface, Journey to the West is about defeating demons and monsters, but at a deeper level, it talks about the struggles and transactions between ruling, being ruled, and political factions, as well as the resistance of the Great Sage (the people). This novel, written in the 16th century, describes the social rights rules of that time, but it is still valid for today's Chinese society, and even for the interpretation of social rules in most countries, it is still very effective.
