Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is the game with the most satisfying combat system, which simply cannot compensate for the lack of other very important elements that a game of this calibre should have.

Mar 10, 2023

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty pushes the boundaries of a Souls-like game by introducing refreshing and unique takes on otherwise overused formulas. The emphasis on deflecting and the new morale mechanic makes for a challenging and rewarding combat system only to be further enhanced by the dramatic backdrop of the Three Kingdoms.

Despite Team Ninja falling into the same pitfalls suffered by prior titles, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is another deeply satisfying Souls-like. A steep learning curve and frustrating amounts of loot don't do much to keep Wo Long back from offering another finely tuned combat system, blended with a unique setting and new systems that break new ground in the subgenre.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a captivating new entry from Team Ninja, that brings about new mechanics, the Morale Rank, and the Spirit Gauge system, to the Soulslike genre. While there are some setbacks and shortcomings, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a solid entry for those who seek to start playing the genre.

I think it’s safe to say that if you are a fan of Soulslike games or Team Ninja’s own Nioh series then chances are that their latest effort, Wo Long: Fallen

Mar 13, 2023

When it comes to punishingly difficult but satisfying action combat, few do it as well as the Dark Souls series – and open world spiritual successor Elden Ring has raised the bar even higher. 2017’s Nioh came pretty darn close, and its follow-up Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty smartly builds on those foundations.

Wo Long is fun and well made, but the features that allow it to shine aren't quite as developed as they should be.Like many of our Elden Lord brethren, I've eagerly awaited the release of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Team Ninja's [...]

There’s no denying that Team Ninja, the developers behind Wo Long: Fallen Kingdom and previously Nioh, is a talented studio that has found its own niche in the Souls-like genre. Where Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was From Software’s foray into re-imagining their Soulsborne genre, Team Ninja’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty mirrors those same steps to become something uniquely standalone, but with that same familiarity to their popular Nioh series. But how successful was this attempt at changing u...

After having sliced its way through Japan and Final Fantasy, Team Ninja heads to China with its newest action RPG. Does the change in setting bring about other changes or more like a new coat of paint?

Mar 7, 2023

A disappointing follow-up to Nioh, that has most of its same qualities but, unfortunately, almost exactly the same flaws; with too few new ideas to make up for the lack of advancement.

You better must choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash, because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.

Team Ninja has a well-known history of delivering stunning action spectacles and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is no different. By taking advantage of a deflecting system, you’ll save ancient china from an evil that threatens the land. As you make bonds with a huge cast of characters, you’ll also gain pow
