New Soulslike Game Is Like The Combination Of Sekiro And Nioh

Soulslike is a sub-genre of role-playing games that are highly difficult, mostly taking place in a dark fantasy setting, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the latest addition to the genre. Ever since Dark Souls was released in 2011, many studios followed in its footsteps while creating their RPGs, creating the souls-like genre, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is one of them. Without further ado, let’s dive into our latest souls-like game.

What Kind of Game is Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?

In Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, you play as a militia who fights to survive in an imitation of China’s Three Kingdoms period. You will fight beside historical figures like Liu Bei and great leader Cao Cao, and slay regular soldiers as well as savage beasts, ferocious demons, and many more while exploring ancient china. If you find this similar to Nioh, you are right.

The most suitable description of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty would be Sekiro combined with Nioh and Bloodborne in ancient Chinese background. There are parrying and dodging, lots of loot to discover, and hard boss fights. This means your muscle memory from other soul-like games will come in handy while playing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

What Makes Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Different From Other Soulslikes?

But what makes Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty unique is that parrying, a maneuver to counterattack, is faster than other games. The timing window is shorter, so if you throw a party sooner or later than you should, you will fail. Compared to other soul-like games, there are more tutorials that may feel wrong for some players since the souls-like genre is known for beating the hell out of you, but this gives a push to the newer players to the genre.

What Is the Aim of Team Ninja, Studio of the Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Team Ninja, the producer of the game, seems confident to create a solid soulslike. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty may seem a bit lower quality than Sekiro or Nioh, but there are more than enough changes making this game worth checking out. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is going to be released on March 3 so you should definitely check it out if you want to try some new mechanics in your favorite genre.
