ABOUT THIS GAME

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology. The story is based on Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. You shall set out as the Destined One to venture into the challenges and marvels ahead, to uncover the obscured truth beneath the veil of a glorious legend from the past.

A world unseen, where new sights rise with every stride. Enter a fascinating realm filled with the wonders and discoveries of ancient Chinese mythology!

As the Destined One, you shall venture through breathtaking landscapes in the classic tale of Journey to the West, creating a new epic of uncharted adventures.

Image

• Confront Mighty Foes, Old and New
Heroic Monkey, might and fame, adversaries rise, to test his name. One of the major highlights of Journey to the West is its diverse cast of adversaries, each with unique strengths.

As the Destined One, you shall encounter powerful foes and worthy rivals throughout your journey. Fearlessly engage them in epic battles where surrender is not an option.

Image

• Temper Your Mastery of Varied Spells
Spells unbound, knowledge's flight, infinite abilities take their height. Spells, transformations, and magic vessels in all manifestations, complementary yet adversarial, have long been iconic combat elements of Chinese mythology.

As the Destined One, aside from mastering various staff techniques, you can also freely combine different spells, abilities, weapons, and equipment to find the winning strategy that best suits your combat style.

Mediocre or bad games can still have parts that are good.

The classics are:

(1) Journey to the West by one guy,

(2) Water Margins, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and a third fantasy novel by another guy.

* Water Margins is disputed who is the author, but likely the same guy.

(3) 10 000 000 light novels and comics about cultivating martial artists vampires at a rate of 10 new ones a day.
500 to sometimes 5000 chapters each.

This looks unironically amazing.

Maybe I can overcome my aversion to soulslike games...

Last action game I could really sink into like this was Jade Empire, and only after they completely custom designed the game for mouse/keyboard play. I have tried many, but "most" end up being just console games made for controllers and they feel and function like it when played with keyboard/mouse.

The game looks great, and we know for a fact it won't be woke. The combat looks closer to Nioh than Dark Souls or Elden Ring. There's different weapon grips which function kind of like stances in Nioh games.

Jade Empire was great!

Edit. I actually liked it better than Mass Effect.

Eventually the Han will create so many renditions of Wukong it will shake & tear down the heavens.

Modern jurnos still genuinely believe that a game not aligning with their ideology is reason enough to label a game as "not good enough". lel

Normally I would agree, but the thing is that a modern game having woke elements and this very same game also having a terrible gameplay/story does overlap a lot. So I would say that the complaints that people make in this forum are the legit ones. :scratch:

How come when a game about playing a monkey comes out it is called a BLACK myth? This seems like a racist dog whistle...

I have yet to see a selling point for the gameplay. Apparently you can absorb souls from enemies and then transform into them for a few seconds. But most of the time you will have to use the same low damage stick. Which is probably rather boring, also I havent seen many trash mobs in gameplay yet. Or any kind of armor/weapon drops. Probably has not much replayability is just pretty graphics where you can fight some souls like bosses. Story wise apparently there isnt much either I have heard. But they surely try to market it as the woke free game, which we will probably see more off if it sells well. But there needs to be more to a game.
