Is this game like Wu Kong?

[Big Shaq]

Their names and gameplay looks pretty much the same but I see the developers are different. And Wo Long has mostly negative reviews on Steam while Wu Kong is GOTY 2024. Are they actually the same franchise or is this one different?

This one is more like Nioh and Sekiro combined. This game is based on some happenings in Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel while Wu Kong is more on the Journey to the West side of things. They don't have anything in common. Mostly negative is probably because this game focuses much on blocking on combat and is super poorly optimized. I have only played the demo so can't comment much on full game.

I played through the entirety of the game and I can safely say its an ok game. I can see why there are many negative reviews but I think they have judged the game too harshly. If you can buy it on sale like it is now then I say it is very much worth the money.

Me and my friend bought it because you can play the game co-op and we really liked co-oping in Nioh 1&2 and since this was the same developer is was a no brainer.

We enjoyed it for the most part but Nioh is a way better series.

Also Wo Long has a lotter shooter system where you get gear of different qualities such as green tier, blue tier, purple tier similar to something like The Division series.

Mostly negative reviews come, mostly, from pissed off chinese players. Nothing to do with the game really, there is just a weird clash between our gaming culture and theirs. For example a lot of recent chinese reviews bash the developer for... backstabbing them with lowering the price.
Without that I think the game would sit around 7/10, but it is what it is.

Also Wo Long is an okay game, but I would recommend Nioh and especially Nioh 2 if you haven't played them.

BMW is heavily inspired by Wo Long, but has also inspiration from God of War or Ghost of Tsushima and other mainstream AAA.

The gameplay of Wo Long is extremely satisfaying, very dynamic. I really like it. And the game is more challenging than Wukong which is pretty easy.
To me Nioh 1&2 are very good but too repetitive quickly, this one keeps being entertaining due to the nice and unique combat mechanic. To me this is by far the best game of Team Ninja.

To me Wukong and Wo Long are 2 solid fun games people who like these style of games should play.

But remember: As a Team Ninja game, it's graphically ugly.

This game had a super rocky launch because of the terrible PC port. They did apologies and fix "something", making it good. But it isn't Wu Kong. This game would have been better for its multiplayer like COOP and pvp if it did something against hackers. In terms of story campaign. This game is not even close.

No its better (imo) if you like pure gameplay, mechanical depth,...etc (where all TN games shine) over story/cutscens. This game is actually much more of an RPG then WuKong and not a character/spectacle action adventure game with more focus on story, pretty visuals,...etc.

Like I said its my opinion but I personally like games that fosu on gameplay more then these GOW-like action adventure games that are one and done games with very little depth.

Even if this game is less complex then Nioh 2 the combat still blows WuKong out of the water imo.

No relation. This game, Wo Long, is a Walmart sekiro/nioh knockoff with loot. The mostly negative score is completely justified.

Wukong is a real game made with care by people making a passion project.

[Nöitalommi]

I've played both games and I think Wo Long is far better in terms of gameplay. It makes Wu Kong look like a walking simulator.

Wo long has deflection mechanics like sekiro, but I could never play Wo Long like Sekiro and make it work. Even if you got all the deflects, you could get a fatal strike and you might have to rinse and repeat the process. Stranger of Paradise functioned more like Sekiro in that once you exhausted the enemy break gauge they were dead, or if it was a boss it entered a new phase.


As far as Nioh is concerned , Wo long is less of a knockoff and more like a fork of Nioh 1. Wo long specifically tries to address certain issues Nioh 1 had like the over use of living weapon. A lot of the good innovations and improvements wo long did just get overshadowed by the bad choices it made.

[EZ_Mode_Guy]

No, Wu Kong is like this game.

[Alex]

Kind of? You use spirits to help you fight, heal, or buff you. Combat is fluid and nice. Ignore the hate cause it's mostly people who can't even beat the tutorial boss which got nerf and they still can't beat it. Hilarious. Souls game? Where you can find a build to just monkey brain your way through? None of that here. Skills is what you need. Although performance issues is still a thing.

[Morghy]

No. It is long.

[xabre2th]

kind like wukong
