However, this title is considerably more lenient with mistakes and dying than any of FromSoftware's games. For one, dying doesn't result in players losing their entire skill point pool. Also, upgrading and leveling up is possible from anywhere in the world, not just at rest spots. On top of that, bosses, while challenging, aren't as frustrating or hard to master as those in the Souls series. Weapon variety also matters when determining whether a game is a Soulslike or not. The Destined One's staff is fun to use, and it's a great weapon once mastered, but unlike the Souls series' games, Black Myth: Wukong has no other weapons to choose fr

Quite a lot of people have been raving about Black Myth: Wukong , and rightfully so. No surprises here, but the game has become one of the most popular games on Steam, and it's only been about two days since its release. For the uninitiated, the game is inspired by a Chinese mythological figure called Sun Wukong, and the gameplay involves a character called the Destined One who embarks on a mission to collect lost rel
One of the most useful features in Black Myth: Wukong is Spirits, which can be obtained shortly into the game's first chapter. Spirits can be acquired by defeating mini-bosses or more hearty versions of Lesser Yaoguais and can then be equipped and used in combat. Each Spirit has a passive Equipped Effect that can provide some much-needed buffs, but Spirits can also be used to deal direct damage to enemies or stagger them. There are dozens of Spirits to find in Black Myth: Wukong , but one Spirit arguably bests the rest in terms of its damage and Equipped Eff
Erlang will then transform into a giant, leonine beast, and the Destined One will need to defeat him in a one-on-one duel. Finishing this secret Recurring Boss fights fight unlocks a new ending cinematic that opens with the Destined One kneeling before the Old Monkey, immediately after having defeated Sun Wukong. His eyes open widely as an animated scene begins, recapping highlights from Journey to the West in reverse order. This signifies the Destined One gaining Sun Wukong's memories , becoming the Monkey King in more than just n
Although the credits roll after beating Wukong, there's a true final boss and secret ending cutscene that players can only unlock by continuing with their original save files - in other words, without starting a New Game Plus. In order to achieve it, they must track down Erlang, the Sacred Divinity for a second time, and defeat him in a much more difficult encounter. Afterward, they'll be transported to a secret, snowy area, where the Destined One will transform into a giant stone monkey and face off against the Four Heavenly Kings at o
The Chinese myth of the Monkey King is one of the most well-known in Chinese folklore, inspiring many characters across different media, particularly MOBAs. In League of Legends , players can take control of Wukong, a character based on said mythol
Judging by just a few minutes of Black Myth: Wukong 's gameplay , it's easy to see that its combat requires non-stop dodges and frequent attacks from the player if they hope to emerge victorious. For the most part, traditional Soulslike games aren't known for having combat that moves this rapidly and, instead, generally demand a more patient and methodical approach from the player to prevent their stamina bar from draining and leaving them vulnerable. It is possible for the Destined One to run out of stamina in Black Myth: Wukong , but it's hardly ever enough to completely disable him and it recharges rather quic
There are several unwritten rules in Black Myth: Wukong , with most of them revolving around the game's combat and exploration. So long as Black Myth: Wukong beginners brush up on these rules before heading into its fantastical world, they should be able to emerge victori
Luckily, the wait is over, as Black Myth: Wukong has finally been released, and it immediately received all kinds of praise from both critics and gamers alike. That said, there are many misconceptions and issues that have arisen since the title's release that should be addressed. As such, here are some things to know before picking up Black Myth: Wuko
Black Myth: Wukong 's progression is one of the more prominent characteristics that set it apart from Soulslike games . Whereas it's possible for players to permanently lose any "experience" they've earned by dying twice before retrieving it, Black Myth: Wukong allows players to retain their experience and any Sparks (skill points) they've earned regardless of how many times they die. They do, however, permanently lose any medicine they might use before dying, which makes the use of rare medicine almost not worth it at ti
