The primary issue with it is that it is trying to cover an insanely complex political conflict with a somewhat simple fantasy story at the forefront. While I absolutely adore this game, I can say that the story was the weakest part of the whole experience. As this is a dark fantasy twist, your job is to try and stop the spread of demonic qi throughout the land as the chaos of the conflict ensues. You play as a nameless soldier that’s been dragged into the Three Kingdoms conflict during the Yellow Turban rebellion. However, the game provides a lot of reading material to help you catch up. As someone who isn’t too familiar with Chinese history, I could find myself a little lost at some points, as the story introduces many characters and events at a breakneck pace. There’s clearly a lot of passion for this period of history in this game, and it shows. The story of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty spans from 184 AD to 200 AD, during the chaotic events of the Later Han Dynasty. However, it does incorporate several historical figures and takes inspiration from real events. Now, it should go without saying that Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty isn’t trying to be the most historically accurate piece of media. The only Dynasty Warriors game I have played to completion is that Berserk spin-off from a while back, which obviously has nothing to do with Three Kingdoms. Three KingdomsĪdmittedly, before playing this game, I barely had any knowledge of the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. So, without further ado, let’s talk about the actual game itself. Sure, not every title they have made has been a hit, but Wo Long continues the momentum they have gained in recent years. They’ve shown that they’re more than capable of creating great action experiences. What makes Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty so good? Well, first of all, it’s developed by Team Ninja, the same studio behind the 3D Ninja Gaiden games and Nioh. I believe that almost any game that makes me want to replay it immediately is a truly great one. After my first playthrough, I would experience it all again in a heartbeat, and I have already begun to. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is no exception to this. From the Dead Space remake to the surprise releases of Hi-Fi Rush and Metroid Prime Remastered, many titles seem to be winners (with the exclusion of Forspoken and maybe a few other titles). 2023 is already shaping up to be a great year for games.
