First Impressions on the Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Demo

The final demo for the highly anticipated title Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty launched demo and my time with the game has been overall positive as far.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is an action role-playing title developed by Team Ninja. This is the same company behind the popular Nioh franchise, a series of games with which this title has much in common.

In terms of the gameplay, I was impressed by the depth and complexity of the battle system. It had everything I expected from a Team Ninja game. The controls felt fluid and intuitive. In addition, it was easy to grasp and pick up the basics without being too overwhelming. Before long, I had already become more used to blocking, parrying and dodging in order to maximise my chances of survival. Every time I put what I had learned to use in order to defeat the enemies, it was a very rewarding and fun experience overall.

The performance was another strong part to the game. I played on the PS5 on performance mode. It seemed to stick to a solid 60 FPS and so I have no real complaints in this department. It was a smooth experience from start to finish in the demo.

Next, I was also impressed with the overall presentation and cinematic introduction to the game. It set up the basic story well and had me wanting to see what was going to happen next.

The only real drawback I have to this game is that it’s overall could be intimidating for some. I found the final boss of this demo alone quite challenging, especially once the second form showed itself. Nevertheless, the demo was impressive and left me wanting to experience more of what this game has to offer. I very much look forward to the full release of this title.
