Playing Odyssey feels like stepping foot into Ancient Greece, from visiting locations like the Agora of Athena and the statue of Zeus at Olympia, and facing off against creatures from Greek mythology like Medusa, the Sphinx and the Minotaur. The game also offers two DLCs, Legacy of the First Blade and The Fate of Atlantis, which further expand on Greece's history and folklore.
One spear that is perfect if you want to try incorporating the Thrust stance into your playstyle is the Chu-Bai Spear . This spear will integrate spear techniques into your light attack combo, increasing damage this way, but you'll also get bonus damage on any Thrust stance moves as w
One of the more stressful aspects of combat in Black Myth: Wukong is having to manage your health in longer Boss battles in gaming fights so The Destined One can stay alive longer than his adversaries. This is why having abilities and passives that automatically heal you can be the difference between a successful run or fail
The only weapon type available in Black Myth: Wukong is the staff. However, you can obtain more potent staves, some with unique passive effects, that'll help you with progression in the game's largely linear questline. Some staves can simply be upgraded with the right materials. Other times, rare weapons or materials for crafting weapons can be obtained through secret side questlines such as the case of collecting Buddha's eyes from statues in Chapter 2 .
I feel like I already tipped my hand in the previous sections, but the Stone Vanguard is another boss that you will want to attack the booty of. At range, he will apply too much pressure for you to be particularly effective, not to mention he may pounce on you at any moment. His golem-summoning attack is definitely his most potent ability, and he is more likely to use it when you are distant.
We might also get a game based around some other characters, utilizing the naming convention of Black Myth: Character Name. Erlang Shen might be an interesting choice for that, although Sha Wujing, one of Wukong’s original companions, is oddly missing from the story, making him the most likely cho
More often than not, you'll get new weapons by upgrading a weaker one, compared to making a new one from scratch. More confusingly, there are some weapons that branch into different paths with similar but still different stats and bu
The player now needs to face Wukong once again , and the scene after the fight plays out in a similar fashion. Yet, as the elder monkey approaches with the Golden Headband, the Destined One opens his eyes , and an animation starts showing the story of Wukong in reverse : from his death at the beginning of the game to the moment he left to face off against the celestial for
Likely, one of the last weapons you'll obtain in Black Myth: Wukong is right near the end of the final chapter. After getting all four pieces of Wukong's armor, you'll be able to obtain Jingubang Staff and take it into the final frontier of boss fig
Unlike many of the other games on this list, Elden Ring can also be played cooperatively: you can summon friends to help you defeat bosses or engage in PvP combat against other players. If you found yourself playing Black Myth: Wukong and thinking "this would be great to play with friends," then Elden Ring may be the perfect choice.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty places you in a fictionalized period set before the fall of the Han Dynasty. Much like Nioh, Fallen Dynasty combines a real story from China's history with the supernatural. Throughout the game, you battle historical characters -- like Feng Xi and Zhang Liang -- and creatures from Chinese mythology like Zhu Yan and Taotie. Artistically, the game is beautiful. The combat is fast-paced and complex -- you must deflect attacks in order to successfully counter an enemy's attack.
Chinese mythology isn't limited to action games. The Rewinder is a puzzle and adventure game inspired by ancient Chinese folklore , featuring legendary figures such as Spirit Wardens, the Ox-head and Horse-face Guardians of the Beyond, and Tudi Gong, all presented in a beautiful pixel art st
In the words of Teddy Roosevelt, "speak softly and carry a big stick; and you will go far." While that quote references a broader view of global geopolitics and foreign policy, it's literal form uniquely encapsulates the Destined One's intimate journey. Your staff is your best friend and will see you through the most grueling fights in Black Myth: Wukong . While spells and spirits can aid you in conflict, it'll be the repeated blows and strategic strikes with your staff that'll bring down the toughest combatants.
Meanwhile, his best close-up attack is his Ground Slam, and it doesn't hit far behind him. When you are attacking the Stone Vanguard's rear, you will only have to worry about its slow backhand attack, which is easily dodged, and its vertical leap attack, which can be tough to deal with at first, until you realize that dodging away from it will give you enough distance to avoid taking damage.
