From the depths of darkness, a dragon soars.
A new dark fantasy Three Kingdoms action RPG from Team NINJA, the developers of Nioh.
184 AD, Later Han Dynasty China. The land is overcome by chaos and destruction. The imperial dynasty that prospered for many years is now about to collapse.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dramatic, action-packed story of a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty where demons plague the Three Kingdoms. Players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on the Chinese martial arts, attempting to overcome the odds by awakening the true power from within.
Wo Long refers to a crouching dragon, and also refers to a hero or person of greatness who is not yet known. This is the story of officers, who will later become heroes, during their ‘unknown’ period, and also the story of a protagonist’s rise from being a ‘nobody’.
A dark fantasy set during the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, the narrative vividly tells the tale of a militia soldier’s strenuous fight for survival during a Later Han Dynasty infested with demons. It’s madness in the Three Kingdoms like never before!
Defeat deadly enemies to boost morale and awaken the power from within! Overcome adversity through unique new strategies, including battle styles based on the “Five Phases”.
Renowned for ruthless strikes that can change the tide of battle in an instant, sword practitioners of the Chinese martial arts gracefully change pace as they shift between offensive and defensive maneuvers. Overwhelm opponents with a flurry of force in a series of intense and bloody battles while learning the precision and skill necessary to become a true master of the sword.
Choose from a wide variety of weapons, from glaives to dual swords, to discover which fits your fighting style.
This secret art draws upon the power of the Five Phases, which allow for attacks using such elements as flames and ice. Upon achieving higher Morale Ranks, you can gain the ability to utilize even more powerful Wizardry Spells.
Divine Beasts like Zhuque and Baihu are brought forth through alliances with other warriors. By calling upon these Divine Beasts, you are able to perform feats of great power.

After further testing it seems the white flicker is fixed by disabling both VSync and Ambient Occlusion. Hopefully they patch it soon regardless. Also worth noting this wasn't an issue on console versions.

My screen was flickering all sorts of colors at the first boss fight. After I turned off Screen Space Reflections it stopped. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

@Trai1b1aze Жыл бұрын

Good to know. I tested PC version before and was getting white flickering (which wasnt there in demo). Looked on the Team Ninja website faq and it mentions that VRR is not supported, so assumed that this was VRR flicking due to Gsync being enabled. Good to know there is also another workaround re Ambient occlusion and vsync.

Battle Sets are going to completely change the "difficulty." No more farming for respec materials or worrying about your build. Swap wherever you can Rest in the level or before a boss fight. It does mean keeping a lot more gear around, so you'll likely want to Store rather than selling a lot of 3* and 4* (5* in NG+) gear as you are building up different sets, so that you don't find yourself having to refarm levels and bosses for the right pieces.

I’m finding the game more frustrating than Nioh 2 in places. It’s uneven. Nioh 2 had often over-the-top difficulty but it didn’t matter because you had so many options for your build. You could counter BS with BS and the results were ridiculously fun. In Wo Long, you’re really chained to your morale and it feels like everything else doesn’t quite hold as much weight.

@@Orinsword Wo Long is good and can be a lot of fun. It’s much more approachable than the Nioh series, though the morale system is a bit rigid. Nioh 2 is better though. It’s pure, intense, brutal fun that doesn’t hold back. It also offers far more depth than Wo Long. Be warned that it’s hard. Souls games are mostly “hard but fair” - Nioh 2 is just “F you” hard. It works because the combat is amazing and you can build some crazy powerful builds that obliterate enemies. The Soul Core system is also very powerful and fun to use. It’s really hard to say if you’ll like it but it’s probably fairly cheap and worth trying.

Not sure about this one, combat seems like a big step back from Nioh 2 and even Stranger of Paradise. What I find kinda weird is that, Stranger of Paradise already had a very similar parry system to Wo Long, you and enemies had posture bars and the parry frame encouraged the use of it, unlike in Nioh for example. I'm sure it's a good game and I'll buy it later, but right now it's hard to justify buying it while I still have some NG+ cycles and the Labyrinth in Stranger of Paradise and haven't explored a lot of weapons in Nioh 2.

Great review! In terms of enemy variety I wonder how Rise of the Ronin will be received since it seems to be non fantasy.

I would say probably, I mean, I had no problem with enemy variety in Ghost of Tsushima because there was no supernatural threats and that wouldn't have really fit into that game since it was trying to be realistic. I actually felt they did enemy variety very well in that game considering it was (mostly) ONLY humans and there's really only so much you can do with that. But, a game very similar to Wo Long, Nioh I felt did suffer from enemy variety issues. Not so much Nioh 2 as they reused a lot of the old enemies from the first PLUS about doubled that in new enemies.

Well RoR isn’t a soulslike so I’m basically expecting GoT but with solid combat - not Elden Ring but Nioh

@@itsalwaysdarkestbeforethes1198 That's pretty much what I'm expecting as well. You'd be surprised how many people think ROTR will be a soulslike though.

So my PS5 ran this game nice and smoothly. I heard that there was a similar issue with Elden Ring: PC version was having frame dips and lags more than the PS5 version.

I’ve only played the demo, but I enjoyed it. (Kind of, had no idea what to put points into). Trying to decide whether to get “Wu Long” or “Lies of P” next. (Would prefer to get both on sale, lol)

If only they added crouching into the stealth mechanics, that would've been perfect, hopefully in the future?

Yeah tilting the stick to go slow and sneaking is pretty bad but you can use Block to move slower and get a stealth kill like that

@nyrva2876 Жыл бұрын

It's useless, you can block and move if you don't want to tilt the stick, or just run and impale with stealth.

When I found out this was part of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms storyline I was sitting here thinking bro if the game jumps 20 years and time will definitely see elubu in this game I'm really hoping so because the yellow turban rebellion took place almost 10 years before dong's zhou's rebellion against the Emperor......... I don't know exactly how far the timeline will go in this game but if we're able to see a souls like Lu Bu holyshit.......

With the game having just minor issues on PC would you recommend that version over consoles?

Cowboy, question: my friend and I were playing Co-Op and I realized after being summoned into his world I couldn’t parry - only dodge and block. Is this a game mechanic? Cause it’s incredibly annoying and I get smacked by the bosses when I can’t parry along with my friend. He can parry but my B(xbox) simply rolls me instead of parrying

Just stumbled upon this game on game pass downloaded it a week ago and haven't played anything else since. My only discrepancy is that the first boss should start on that secomd stage first and when it gets under a certain health threshold it shoud trigger the cut scene. Great game will be playing the dlc as well for anyone looking to play it remember its not supposed to be easy.

Though I'm definitely getting this, to me it's seems more like the game that came before Nioh and not after.

You can't jump in nioh nor have aerial combat. That's something you'd feel missing after playing wo long and going back to nioh.

@@nyrva2876 Nioh and Wo Long feel rather different from one another. After spending like 10-12 hours in Wo Long demo, I actually booted up Nioh 1 Remastered for PS5 this morning and I had a blast with it. I beat that game once on PS4, but started a fresh playthrough and it's still amazing. Wo Long feels much more like Sekiro with extra stuff (tbh, I love that you can't just spam deflect or dodge) rather than like Nioh. The signature style of Team Ninja is still palpable though.

@daddyo2958 Жыл бұрын

Everything else about this game is vastly improved over the systems in Nioh and Nioh 2. It's just ugggg I'm not a parry guy at all, and I really hope I can get into it because everything else looks fanfuckingtastic. Loved your starter guides man, it really has given me an idea of how I want to proceed.

@LucasLeCompteMusic Жыл бұрын

Parrying in Sekiro was so amazing I missed it in both Niohs. I think once you get a hold of it and see how you parrying things makes life easier you will love it. you dont have to roll away enemy all the time, you can stay in their face and fight.

@Ocean5ix Жыл бұрын

Don't know if I agree that much with what you said. Nioh has a lot more combat depth, seems to have more build variety, more tools like Ninjutsu, buffs, debuffs etc.

@@LucasLeCompteMusic I'm glad you enjoyed it and really I'm glad there is another game that has that playstyle for you. But I suck at parrying because I don't like playing that way. I'm not sure if I don't like it because I suck at it or I suck at it because I don't like it though I'll be honest there. I'm slowly getting better at it and it's to a point I'm finding my own way in this game, but going to be honest it kind of hurts my soul a bit watching someone fight Lu Bu and there is no other way but to be on point with your parries. Now with that said it's absolutely beautiful to watch but as someone who loves to weave combos and different attacks in it just kind of hurts knowing that will never be viable against him. But really, I think Ronin is going to be the game that is a more direct descendent to Nioh. I do believe this one is its own thing completely and I can survive other people having their fun.
