The player begins as a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy world of the Later Han Dynasty, where demons afflict the Three Kingdoms.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Gameplay
The gameplay is highly dynamic and quick. The game offers detailed character creation to the players. In addition to appearance, players can choose from five basic builds termed "Phases". The character's stats, armor, weapon, and magic are determined by these phases.
The player would need to concentrate on blocking, dodging, and parrying to become an expert at the game. You could even summon spirits to assist you through the game's linear levels. The players can access more powerful spells by raising their "Morale Ranks". The weapons include the likes of glaives and dual swords.
‘Divine Beasts’, an ability that the players would be able to use in the game, would assist to summon powerful creatures to help during the battle.
The game would have three stages, Guigugou Valley, Hulaoguan Pass, and Luoyang.
When a player would defeat an enemy with a higher rank, the morale increases faster and you would get access to more powerful items. However, if you die in the hands of the enemy, their morale increases.
Additionally, there is a "Spirit Meter" in the game, which is raised by carefully balancing offensive and defensive actions.
How to Preorder Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
