Imagine the brutal, impactful combat of a Dark Souls game fused with the rapid-fire, exhilarating hack-and-slash action of Dynasty Warriors. Sounds wild, right? Well, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty pulls it off beautifully, delivering one of the most compelling soulslike experiences I’ve encountered. It strikes a perfect balance of challenging, intense battles and satisfying progression, making it a game truly worthy of your time (and perhaps a little bit of your patience!). Best of all, you can now get the complete edition, including all its DLC, at an incredible all-time low price.
Crafted by Team Ninja, the acclaimed developers behind some of the finest action games, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty showcases the studio’s signature thrilling combat. While it shares more DNA with FromSoftware’s Sekiro than Dark Souls, it offers a richer variety in combat approaches and character building.
Drawing inspiration from its Dynasty Warriors heritage, Wo Long offers a fantastical, albeit loose, adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, brimming with magic and formidable creatures. You’ll create your own hero and plunge into a realm threatened by the demon-infested Yellow Turban Rebellion. While it streamlines some classic Three Kingdoms narratives, it does so to elevate the truly exceptional combat at its core.
This game boasts all the hallmarks you’d expect from Team Ninja’s best RPGs: extensive armor sets, a deep character customization system, diverse stats and attributes to fine-tune, and a vast arsenal of weapons to master. You can forge a truly unique warrior, though even the strongest among us will still face overwhelming odds against some of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s incredibly tough bosses.
Since its release a few years ago, the game has received numerous balance and bug-fixing updates, but our initial review for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty was already glowing. Our reviewer, Dave Irwin, praised it as “a thoroughly enjoyable soulslike with intensely fun combat mechanics.”
If you’ve been on the fence about experiencing this often-overlooked soulslike gem, now is truly the perfect moment. The Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition is available for an unbeatable price – its lowest ever! This includes the Battle of Zhongyuan DLC, which, while I initially felt it was a bit overpriced, becomes an excellent addition at this fantastic bundle deal.
Finished with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and eager for your next adventure? Our list of upcoming PC games might just have your next action-packed obsession. Or, for a change of pace, consider Dynasty Warriors Origins, released earlier this year – it’s a phenomenal hack-and-slash experience that I wholeheartedly endorse as one of the best PC games in its genre.
