Following in the soulslike tradition isn’t easy, and Team Ninja’s Nioh needed a sequel before it could truly establish itself as a peer to From Software’s best. Now, in the wake of Elden Ring, the studio has to do it all over again. Fortunately, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty distinguishes itself effortlessly thanks to a potent blend of wuxia sensibilities and dark fantasy horror.
It would be easy to expect Wo Long to be just another tough-as-demon-hide action RPG, and sure, it is those things – but it’s also liberated from the punishing constraints that can define the genre. As a roaming warrior pulled into both the conflicts of the Three Kingdoms era and a supernatural conspiracy whose instigators are using the war as opportunity to wreak further havoc across China, you are here to kick ass and take names. The way you move and fight is not as a frightened little knight prodding at some scary giant, you tear through this world like a legendary hero destined to become a folk tale in their own right. Be too cautious and you’re liable to get knocked around; only by leaning into the momentum of your power can you become the mighty warrior you were meant to be.
