Bosses are fast, aggressive, tough. They hit you two times and it's over. But they all have the same mechanics and just different timing. So inexperienced players may feel frustration, while for experienced souls it won't be major problem to get through the game without a scratch. [Issue#326]

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a lovechild between Sekiro and Nioh games with some Chinese mythos and history sprinkled on the top. It is a truly great combat experience that is drawn back by somewhat convoluted storytelling, lackluster decisions to simplify magic and attributes and severe optimization problems. With that said, it is a really fun experience that any fan of the genre will surely love.

An evolution of Nioh 2, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is an action-packed ride through history and dark fantasy that stands out in a post-Elden Ring world. [Issue#26, p.88]

Что можно сказать про эту игру ужасно конечно, начнём с графики она какая-то устарелая начало эпохи и PlayStation 4 , мало того ещё напихали куча ярких цветов которые просто режут глаза и ты не можешь понять что ты делаешь прям салют в глаза, боевая система - это просто ужасно пытались сделать сикиру и dark souls и что угодно на самом деле получилось просто хромая секиру , собирать здесь доспехи поднимать уровни учить какую-то магию даже помощники здесь это всё абсолютно бесполезно просто для фона сделали , вся игра заточена на у воротах короче играешь одной кнопкой Я считаю это ужасным проектом

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a game that delivers a frenetic action experience. While it manages to capture an electric immediacy in its combat, it falls dangerously short in its attempt to offer a solid structure. What I found can be summarized as a work that shines on the surface thanks to its pace, but lacks the necessary depth to stand the test of time as a benchmark of the **** core of the experience is undoubtedly its parry-based combat system. It's fast, visually stimulating, and, at times, satisfying. However, by focusing almost all the gameplay on this single mechanic, the system loses the weight, precision, and technical depth one would expect from a great action RPG. The game's potential has been sacrificed to simplification: the flow of battles is reduced to a monotonous cycle of deflecting attacks to accumulate spirit, executing martial arts, and delivering a fatal blow. The lack of true combos, transformations, or the ability to freely reassign skills to weapons drastically limits creative **** of the most serious problems is its structural stagnation. Exploration, which should be a source of wonder, quickly becomes predictable due to overly conservative level design and an enemy variety that runs out long before the campaign. The atmosphere of mystery and intricate mythology that usually envelops these worlds is almost nonexistent. The narrative is merely utilitarian, a backdrop populated by characters who appear and disappear without generating an ounce of empathy or emotional connection, existing only to drive the gameplay.This lack of refinement reaches its lowest point in the design of the main antagonist, who stands out as one of the worst-developed villains I've ever seen in the genre. His construction is frustrating and artificial: the constant use of teleportation and the ability to inflict chaotic damage within the narrative in the blink of an eye break the flow of the storyline, leaving a profound sense of disappointment at the story's climax.Paradoxically, while the combat system can be more entertaining and dynamic than other, slower-paced titles, the game conveys a sense of emptiness, a lack of ambition. From the bland user interface to the sound effects and the limited enemy variety, everything seems a step below other games, although graphically it's adequate, with a very acceptable visual presentation. It is, in essence, a surprisingly accessible title; once you master the timing of the dodge, the challenge vanishes, allowing you to defeat most bosses on your first **** conclusion, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a straightforward and functional action experience, ideal for those looking for simple combat or to enjoy the campaign. However, for someone more demanding, or looking for progression with real layers of customization and a world that invites you to get lost in its story, the game falls short of its potential: fun, but far from exceptional. RATING 7/10

The gameplay is just unbelievably good. Who could’ve imagine that side project can overcome Nioh in that. Sadly it lacks endgame content like Nioh2

Wo Long: Fall Dynasty is a near flawless game and what I hope is just an intro to this fantastic world. Team Ninja have crafted a game that takes the basic structure of Nioh and other Souls-likes and creates their own unique, rewarding, and brutally challenging experience. In its almost forty hour campaign I was constantly surprised by the amount of new locations, creative boss fights, and sheer ambition of the game. It may be early in the year, but I’d be surprised if any game beats Wo Long for the top of my year-end list.

Even though the infamous Nioh title is absent in the Team Ninja’s newest soulslike experience, there is no doubt that it possesses the very same qualities as its predecessors. Visceral and hardcore combat mechanics are used against the most horrific of demons. Our nameless hero will explore the chunks of a wonderful world inspired by the Romance of Three Kingdoms whilst trying to bring peace to a war-torn feudal China. This cryptically epic horse ride will surely confuse you, make you cry with rage and mostly teach you the art of parry timings.

After Nioh, Team Ninja once again proves its great mastery of action-RPG with Wo Long Fallen Dynasty. Admittedly, the copy is not perfect (bestiary not provided enough, rather disappointing endgame, side missions which take up areas already visited) but the gameplay is so solid that we are ready to excuse almost everything! Here, it's all about parry, martial arts and spells, in a novel approach for the genre. Most of the atmospheres are successful, there is plenty to choose your path as a warrior and everything is even more accessible than the studio's Japanese Souls-like. An excellent pickaxe.

If you asked me a week ago, I would've been really down on Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The game's uneven difficulty delivers a tough introduction before settling into something more comfortable. Whilst the game doesn't explain itself well, there are many systems here you can prod and tinker with. Hopefully this will provide some varied playstyles. Combat really shines, despite the simplistic movesets. Navigation between missions feels clumsy but those levels are smartly designed. Moving through the world has been compelling and enjoyable, even if I do find the storytelling to be rather hokey.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is an excellent action game, and a tightly-focused, well-executed example of why Team Ninja is often mentioned in the same breath as FromSoftware. Razor-sharp combat that wields the power of momentum with deft ease, supported by intricate and well-designed levels, against the backdrop of an over-the-top historical fantasy? It’s just a shame about the quality-of-life aberrations that constantly chip away at your morale.

Wo Long packs in some novel gameplay mechanics, but it might not be the hardcore experience fans of the genre are seeking.

Wo Long is a hair's breadth from cohesiveness, but much like the game's antagonists, it slips through your fingers just when you think you've got it. Come on, Team Ninja. You've almost got it.

Spent innumerable hours playing and perfecting skills. Each DLC adds new content to never make the game dull. Enjoy every aspect of the character individuality and weapon and sorcery complementary behavior. 100% worth the time and investment

A perfectly serviceable game that plays like a cross between Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden, but the mission based structure robs the game of the exploration that is so vital in making From Softwares titles what they are.

Repetitivo, chato, inimigos sempre os mesmos, so vou acabar o jogo porque paguei por ele, mas me arrependi demais.
Nao vejo a hora de acabar essa porcaria

As someone who acquired a platinum on nearly all dark souls/bloodborne likes games I hated this game.Most games at this level give you several means to victory over bosses but in this game it’s through a counter system if you don’t master it you can’t progress much in the game. That alienates a lot of advanced players that have their own approach to winning. The magic in this game is underwhelming and lack lackluster. The story is so disappointing, the protagonist doesn’t talk yet there are several npc that have complete conversations with him, makes no sense. And you always arrive to the boss fight a minute late and the person you’re trying to save is too far gone. While there is a small group of real players that will enjoy this game, most that like this game simply like it because they can make progress in this due to the game offering the option to have several npc support members in your team that reduces difficulty. These players that claim to like this game hated games like Sekiro, Demon souls, Mortal shell, lies of p and so on of difficulty and this game lets them feel like they can play these type of games. This game isn’t difficult it just has a lot of artificial difficulty to frustrate players. The developers did a half fast job and it shows. I would rather watch the movie Barbie than play this game again.
SummaryWo Long: Fallen Dynasty follows the 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.
