This being something completely new while also based upon a Chinese classic is why my interest in this game is so incredibly high. This game is stylistically rich, and it dovetail perfectly with the story it's based upon. I can't even remember how many times I said "No way!" while watching a nearly hour long gameplay preview. Everyone senses that we have something very special here and I'm desperately hoping they nail the landing once it's released.

People need to remember that there were some incredible action RPGs before the soul series came into fruition just because they're the ones that mastered it does not make them the only ones that you can take from

The Chinese developer of this game, Game Science, does not consider it to be a Souls-like game, but prefers to use the more general term "action RPG." A spokesperson for the studio told me, "In this game, you can see a lot of spells and transformation moves." He also added that there are various combat styles, allowing players to "create their own combos and find their own style." "This is the freedom we want to give players." The developers pointed out that the game also has two other key elements that distinguish it from Soulslikes: narrative and difficulty. The game follows a single, linear path. "This is a story-driven linear game," confirmed a Game Science spokesperson. "In some levels, the maps are much larger than what you just saw, but we wouldn't call ourselves an open-world game."

7:38 Bold statement, in a year with FF7 Rebirth, and Elden Ring's DLC.

People can stop claiming that Souls-like games are all the same game, let alone action games.

Chinese mythology is full of beautiful and actual diverse character and monster designs, many of which are iconic. Many such designs never left China or the SEA region in general due to the language barrier. It's a great thing that we're getting more Wuxia style games. The day we get a full blown Xianxia open world game is when the Chinese game industry will overtake the West. Considering the West puts out only mentally ill garbage nowadays, that day won't be far off.

Fingers crossed for an easy mode. I love action RPG games but I’m too old and busy to grind them out and git gud like I used to when I was younger.

It definitely is going to be hard. It may not be a full blown soulslike but it has a lot of elements from it... mostly the heavy damage from bosses and reliance on dodging. The main difference is that unlike a soulslike or actual souls game where the boss has a hammer and you have a toothpick... you actually have a large variety of moves to use as well. But make no mistake, you can't take any real damage like in a souls game.

Best translation from story to game and accurate in lore ...well done.

Plus i'll know how buggy it is and guage how long to actually wait till i buy it, Cyberpunk 2077 and waiting right till Phantom Liberty to finally actually buying it being an obvious example. Pre-ordering rewards publishers for forcing games out early and potentially being buggy messes and means they don't get punished for ruining the game after reviews are out. They should be held accountable and punished for these practices and by pre-ordering you are removing that power from yourself.

One of the very few titles I'm eagerly awaiting in 2024. I trust these guys to release a great game and I just haven't had much trust in game studios lately. I cannot wait to play this game.

First game I preordered in years. This game will be the golden standard when it comes to action rpg games.

The combat offers three attacking stances as smash pillar and thrust, each leading to a different kind of heavy attack and enhanced heavy attack. These stances can be switched freely during combat, and all enhanced heavy attacks can trigger hitstun. The smash stance tempo is fastest one. A pro tip for skilled players is that you can make a parry by using a heavy attack combo at the exact moment right before the boss's attack lands on you. The pillar stance’s enhanced attack allows you to stay in the air, avoiding some ground attacks and stylishly smashing back. However, maintaining this stance rapidly depletes your stamina. The thrust stance’s enhanced heavy attack can stop the boss's rush at a distance when dealing with close combat bosses. Additionally, the game offers various powerful abilities such as immobilizing,invisible, "stone solid", clones and different transformation etc. The combat system is diverse, allowing you to choose different strategies to defeat different bosses, so it won’t be too hard like soulslike games. Black Myth: Wukong encourages an active attacking style, not just defensive counterattacks. It is not a Sekiro or Souls-like game. The combat tempo is faster but it is still challenging. If your skills are up to par, you can continuously trigger a boss's hitstun, leading to smooth and thrilling combat. The game does have a block/parry mechanics. One of few ways we’ve seen players parry enemy attacks is through a light-heavy combo in Smash Stance, which has a mechanic similar to GP (guard point) in Monster Hunter. “Stone Solid” is another block/parry ability that’s been revealed. In previous demos, it was also shown that certain bosses (like the Tiger Vanguard) have the ability to parry player attacks as well. Player could obtain that ability after defeat him. It is a easily-used and time-limited technique allowing player to use for parry, the effect and sound are very cool. some spells and techniques haven't been revealed. So far he has these spells and abilities： Immobilized enemy invisible "Stone Solid" instant hardening that parry all attack fire circle that scare the evils and buff recovery clones magic by hairs transforming (4 kinds revealed)

Hi Everyone !

Just remember, most of the architecture in the game was obtained by real life scans of ancient temples, sculptures and calligraphies... And all of these bosses have a story behind them in the actual book of Journey to the West, including other Chinese mythology. I really hope you guys will enjoy the game and the culture behind it, cuz it really hasn't been shown to international community on a larger scale like this. And just saying, I've been seeing comments like "this is Hanuman 🇮🇳" or "this is Goku 🇯🇵“. I just want to say no one likes cultural thieves and Wukong belongs to the Chinese/Han community (not just nationality, yk, Chinese Singaporean/Taiwanese/Malaysian etc.). When the book was written (16 Century) there are no translated Hindi books in China so the Hanuman theory is questionable, and Goku is a salute to Wukong (They have the exact same name in written Hanzi/Kanji), and I hope you guys enjoy it in August!

Nice League of Legends Wukong remake.

The only game I play is monster hunter mainline games. And this is nothing like my monster hunter

Boss fights and high difficulty is the norm nowadays, just because a game has these mechanics doesn't make it a Souls-like game.
