I played about 4 hours of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and I'm pleased to tell you that it's like a leaner, faster, more action-focused Nioh. If you wanted more variation than that, this won't be for you, but if you're down for more of what Team Ninja do best then this is shaping up to be a pretty safe purchase.

Just bought the speakers! You are my favorite game reviewer! Thank you for everything you do!
Demo is out now on the PS5. Downloading now. Also out on Xbox. Just checked.
I'm sure education sucks as much in Australia as in US but talking about Nioh as it is in "ancient Japan" ... It's like 1600 ...
Dude u explained the mechanic's of this game better than they did lol. Good video.
As an Xbox player I’m excited.
Five uploads from Shill Up in a week, I feel blessed
The Shilling is Up this week!
Lol the only people who get inside access for real are the ones who tend to be shills. You only ever see one of these people say something is bad with a lot of compliments and when everyone is doing it. Feel like angry Joe is the only honest one left
Lmfaooo
I hope the man has actually rememered to sleep! This is hectic. 😂
Shill is life... Shill is love
They really pulled off something special with Nioh, especially Nioh 2. I hope Team Ninja can keep cultivating an audience with each game released, like From did.
@Cwavy_619 I'm like the opposite I like Ninja gaiden but I would say without a doubt a Ninja gaiden are way harder than the nioh games. I beat the nioh games. I could not beat any Ninja gaiden game
@Cwavy_619 Nioh is definitely easier than Ninja Gaiden IMO, seriously.
@Cwavy_619 well first of all Nioh only has one difficulty, well my experience with Ninja gaiden was being grappled and having my health bar halfway down as soon as I load my save file so I said fuck that game lol so ridiculous
In nioh you can grind your way out of a fight , like farming xp and leveling up or calling for help from randoms or with friend's. If you ever try it again, keep in mind that stamina in his game is very important, get in the habit of pressing r1 as soon as you finish attacking too activate a key pulse which restores your stamina and keep an eye on your enemy stamina because if you break theirs, you can get a critical hit. Experiment with weapons as you level up and gain more skill points the more you use a weapon and all the weapons are viable it's just depends on your preference. Personally I love the sword and kurigama.
Blocking right as your enemy hits you helps lower their stamina.
Hope this helps
Nioh 2’s fight system is one of the best fight system that I have experienced but holy hell do they need better writers.
The story was poorly written and knitted together haphazardly. Would have been a 10/10 game for me if they had developed the story better.
@@Saicofake I agree with you because I beat Nioh 1 and 2 and I had no idea what the hell happened lol it was just so hard to keep up with the story I just mentally checked out every time there was a cut scene or that cool little forklore stories at the end of each level which I thought were okay
I think my character is trying to kill demons I got that much 😂
This looks incredible and I’m already excited. Both Nioh games were absolute bangers and Team Ninja has yet to disappoint.
What about stranger of paradise?
@@kristapsvidzups1050 the combat in that game was great, it's just everything else around it that wasn't that good
@@thatonepenguinperson618 tbf tho I actually loved the story because it was just hilarious
Bad writing but god was it entertaining
Waiting for sale and i will defo try it out.
@@kristapsvidzups1050 I’ve only played the demo so I don’t have an overall opinion of the game as a whole. But i will say the combat is just as good as in Nioh.
So much skillup this week, I dig it
I absolutely want more nioh 2 with new mechanics, to me Nioh 2 was the best soulslike game ever, no other soulslike can match its combat and I loved how much u can customize your look, to me nioh 2 was a 10/10 game of the year 100%
I have only Bloodborne competing with nioh 2 for the best of these games. . . Really enjoyed this demo 👍
My only gripe with Nioh 2 was the level design and the amount of filler content.
However, in terms of pure gameplay it is probably my favorite Souls-like game. Bloodborne was pretty neat as well.
Y'all need to chill with the 'soulslike'. Just because a game is hard, doesn't make it 'soulslike'. It's DNA is completely different.
@@insayno true. Its more diablolike
that game was garbage to be honest
Ever since Nioh came out, I've been expecting something big from Team Ninja, and here it is, this looks superb
Not Rise of the Ronin? Which probably is their biggest game since it's open world.
@@wealthybone2990 Open world usually means less focused/balanced experienced (like with Elden Ring) , personally I'm more excited for Wo Long
@@JC-kl3uc The combat looks insane from the trailer, but we will have to see. Looks very heavily invested
@@wealthybone2990 um that game looks more like Ninja Gaiden to me than Soul.
For me, Nioh 2 was the best Action RPG ever released so I'm fine with that as well.
ah, so is Nioh 2 the only action rpg you've played?
Hahaha only kidding, i loved it too!
Nioh 2 was odd for me. I loved my first playthrough, but had no motivation to grind ng+ and the dlcs.
Nioh I put so many hours into it. Got it for free on ps plus and then bought the dlcs and went nuts on finding the best loot. Never really got tired of it.
I think I just burnt myself out. Nioh 2 is so much better than Nioh, but I played it once and never cared to play it again.
I’ll definitely pick this game up because I do really like the Nioh style games.
@@fy4b230 sometimes thats just it: you get burnt out. I learned with time to not over play somethig that a like a lot, because a might not be able to feel enjoyment of it anymore.
@@fy4b230 same experience
@@fy4b230 well I would revisit it because the endgame is locked behind the higher difficulties. You get access to more challenging bosses, new challenges, different and more complex items, etc...
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty being on Xbox GamePass and PC GamePass day one is massive 🔥🔥🔥.
Too bad Rise of the Ronin is console exclusive for PS5.
I'll have to play that on PC.
Nioh is my favorite series so this is going to be one I actually want to permanently own.
@@MaxIronsThird it's console exclusive, most likely it will come out on PC as well, maybe months later
Thanks. Didn't hear him mention this in the review.
@@ilieschamkar6767 It's going to be day and date.
Usually when they put "Console Exclusive" just means that it won't be coming out in other consoles but the PC release is simultaneous.
The Stamina system definitely looks great....even tho the ki pulse is gone it doesn't look like the game slowed down
The ki pulse was my favorite aspect of nioh. It was like an active reload mechanic. This also looks good though
Not a fan of the slower pace; it's what set Nioh part imo.
me who hated ki pulse, :D
@@DragonicDude dude it was so easy, as simple as pressing r1 when you see tiny lights surrounding your character.
@@juvenilegolden We got 2 Nioh games in a row and a bunch of dlc so I am fine with something new personally
Nioh 2 is absolutely one of my favorite all time games
I adored Nioh 2. If it's anything close to that game, this is an easy day 1 purchase.
Bro I too love nioh series. I enjoyed it more than dark souls. This is a GUARENTEEED day 1 purchase and you WONT regret it. I am playing the demo, and its fantastic!
It's also on Gamepass day one, I can't wait for the full release
@@DigitalHIFI09 YO! cant freaking wait, just finished demo. Was amazing!
@@dathip where can I play the demo? I was looking on my ps5 and couldn't find it for some reason. I'll look again.
@@dathip my friend does not believe me when I say I think Nioh 2 is better than some of the souls games and refuses to play it because it's on playstation 😆.
I'm putting this comment down for my fellow Souls/Elden Ring lovers.
After playing 400 hours of Elden Ring I turned to Nioh 1 and then 2 to fill that void. Simply put, that was one of the best decisions I've made. I felt so silly writing them off as souls-wannabes. In fact, after playing Nioh, I felt like this kind of combat is what I've been expecting to find in Souls games; deeper, more technical combat with variety of systems that do come together coherently (especially in Nioh 2).
I also respectfully disagree with Skill up, in that the level designs are fine. Nothing special, but not worse than Souls games.
I'm also excited for Wo Long, although it seems they've simplified things a lot since Nioh 2. The combat looks great still, which matters most.
I do agree with Shillup there. The only thing missing un Nioh series is that their level design is very noticeably mediocre. I was never lost in any if Nioh levels
nioh made me realise why i couldn't get into dark souls even though the world and atmosphere of those games appeals to me: the combat. the combat in dark souls is just too simplistic and unsatisfying for me so eventually i just lose any interest in trying to git gud whereas in nioh the combat is just so fun that i don't mind dying nearly as much because i get to experience more of the combat.
@@siddharthshishulkar8992 i think it's an issue of expectations. from my point of view nioh and nioh 2 have more in common with something like devil may cry than they do with dark souls, most people don't complain about never getting lost in a DMC level because that's not the focus of those games, the combat is and it's the same thing with nioh. someone who goes into nioh with expectations of it being a souls-like will be disappointed by the more linear levels, but it's not an actual issue with the game because the game never claimed to have intricate levels
@@666FallenShadow Oh yeah, it's most certainly is that.
As shillup said, these are fighting game rather than adventure games so expecting that sense of unknown exploration and mental mapping of levels isn't relevant
Nioh is fantastic and criminally slept on.
I was really hoping that Wo Long would be as good as Nioh, and this video made me optimistic. Thanks Skill Up.
Just finished playing the demo. I can echo what SkillUp said. This is very satisfying to play. The Morale and Spirit Gauge systems are VERY smart.
Shaping up better than nioh, fantastic demo
@@pasta1169 I massively disagree. I think the parry and dodging is a bit jankier. I did enjoy the demo but tbh the combat of nioh makes it the best I think
@@ryanellis7128 games not out for 4 plus months team ninja will fix any minor issues
Just finished the demo, and i have to say it felt more like sekiro on steroids to me than nioh. Parrying is key to enjoying and beating this game. They new stamina/spirit system felt awesome and i really like the dynamic ingame difficulty, reminded me of godhand and it's cool to see something similar after all those years. If you liked nioh you'll like this, if you liked sekiro theres a good chance you'll like it aswell just be aware that this is much faster and a bit more unforgiving
Yeah I generally agree with skillup but it isn't nioh 3 and is fairly different
Sekiro is th best souls game period and I loved nioh so I will probably adore this too
Hell I bet I will like this more than nioh if it's less focused on items and more on combat
@@thedoomslayer5863 Although Sekiro is not a Souls game. It's completely different style. That's why I respect FromSoft so much. They finally made a game which was not a Souls-like.
@@thedoomslayer5863 bloodborne is much much better
@@johndodo2062 nah, blood borne is better than the mainline souls games for sure but not better than sekiro.
Sekiro combat makes all the others look like you're playing my little pony island adventure
Sekiro perfected the combat souls games began.
Blood borne took steps in the right direction but didn't succeed fully either
I’m happy to see Team Ninja has these two projects in the works. They obviously understand they have a good formula going with Nioh and wanted to continue with that in Wo Long (probably for their commercial well being), but they don’t want to burn out and are trying something new with Ronin.
hol up... is this a Team Ninja game? Gentlemen you had my curiosity ... but now you have my attention.
Wow, if I didn't know this was a different game I wouldn't absolutely thought this is a new Nioh. Can't wait to try it
This is up right my alley, really loved nioh 2 and I'm glad we're sorta getting more of it.
The thing about this game is that it takes place during the fall of the Han Dynasty, which is where Dynasty Warriors takes place. So we are definitely going to see some great environments. Like Hulao Gate, Chibi, Luo Yang. Along with some awesome historical figures like Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Guan Yu and others
yah i believe they already teased Lu Bu at Hulao Gate and holy shit is that boss battle gonna be hell if its anything like the early dynasty warriors games
@@VoraciousHeart the game is and plays nothing like dynasty warriors
I can just imagine what speedrunners or 'no-hit' players could do with the spirit guage system.
2:00 "lifted and dropped" will be the expression i use when im caught plagurising 😎
They NAIL the combat everytime. I'm happy the spirit of Nioh lives on. I'll be getting this. Love Team Ninjas games.
Skill up 4 days in a row is it fucking christmas or something?!?!
Downloaded the demo last night. It was actually pretty impressive. I’m sure it will change and hopefully for the better. Looking forward to playing this.
"Basically nioh 3" is exactly what I was hoping for
All those changes you listed were things I _didn't_ like about Nioh, so I'm looking forward to getting into this.
Having platinumed Nioh 2, I came away from the Wo Long demo less excited than I went in. Mechanically it feels different in a way that I couldn't really think of as an iteration on Nioh, and even though I got through the demo I never really felt like I got the hang of what the game wanted me to do for enemies that do not take hitstun.
I kinda liked the loot from nioh, it tickled the right neurons for me, even if you sold or dismantled everything of it in late game
Seems like it’s still here, which is a relief. I thought that they were changing it to a Dark Souls type of system.
Not having 600 items to sort through after every mission will be nice.
I hated it. It's unnecessary fluff. Fat that needed to be trimmed.
It's why I adored sekiro so much. Just pure focus on skill and combat
@@thedoomslayer5863 Depends on the game, i love games like Monster Hunter for giving me many options to adapt and change my playstyle.
Oh man, you really nailed describing Nioh 2 for me. It's awesome but take a break for a couple of months and it's absolutely overwhelming :(
More Nioh 2 with a slight change in scenery? Hell yeah!.
I heard from the community some time ago that Nioh saga is finished because appearently they no longer have any era to cover. So i think it makes sense they're continuing Nioh in different setting
nioh is definitely not finished the creater just wants to give it some time before returning to it
Ralph uploading five episodes in a week to prep his February work load.
I definitely had fun with Nioh 1 and 2 so looking forward to this.
Team Ninja is going hard with them bangers, this and Rise of the Ronin. What a time to be alive with a handful of exciting games to come.
Just played the demo. It's not just similar to Nioh, it's literally Nioh with a Chinese theme instead of Japanese, and minuts the loot system (which I think is a big improvement). If you liked Nioh you're pretty much guaranteed to like this one, if you didn't, then there's very little chance this one will hit the spot.
Its slower for sure.
If you think loosing the loot system is a good change then you didn't get nioh amd especially 2 at all.
@@michaeljhale23 Honestly, I thought farming graces was a massive pain. I could skip it and still love the game for fun combat. If they turned it down to just useful loot, Id be a happy camper.
My most anticipated game. I'm glad you covered it. Nioh has just the best combat ever.
I don't typically go for souls like games (the only time I've played them is when I've been "tricked" into it by attaching a beloved IP like Star Wars and Final Fantasy), but this video did intrigue me. I'll try the demo, and if I get to a point where I'm not smashing my head against the wall, I might check out Nioh 2.
I love nioh but be warned it is much more complex and arguably difficult than the two titles you are referring to
My honest take: if you aren't into souls-like games, then I'd advise against you paying for Nioh 2, or even this game when it comes out. Just probably won't be for you
@@SonGoku-tp8gb Yeah, I tried the demo and I really did come to it with an open mind but it definitely wasn't my jam.
I always feel guilty saying that though because this is an extremely popular subgenre of games that are just missing for me. I wouldn't feel so bad if it was an entire genre like fighting games or FPS which I know I'm not in the audience for, but these games are action RPGs at their core which I love, so it feels like I'm the one there's something wrong with.
@@cheese4g Man, the fan base can sure become very hostile lol, so if you've encountered that, just ignore it. I personally love these games, but no game is for everybody. Not enjoying these games is perfectly fine.
Souls fans get fed up when they hear dumb critiques (and I've actually heard someone basically say "I found it boring, therefore it's objectively a bad game"). Problem is, some of those fans confuse this critique with a person just not liking these games. Saying a game just isn't for you is a perfectly valid statement, for any game.
@@cheese4g I love action games and rpgs and never could get into dark souls even though on paper i should love it. i would try like once a year and see if it was gonna be the year but would just not enjoy it. I had to come to terms id never like these games. it wasnt until elden ring for some reason that sparked something and made me go back to all the souls games and then play nioh and so on. it was definitely the "click" i was so hoping for all those years. a legit (souls)born again experience lol. so you never know what the future holds is all
I like this channel, the reviews, the previews, the weekly show, the podcast and everytime the skill up 'says this video is sponsored by ...' I get little bit happier, I don't know why, guess I like my favorite creators getting paid, so yeah great video as always, looking forward to full review, ngl future of gaming looks quite bright if I may say so. I know some creators are on the fence about sponsorships and stuff like that, so I thought I'd give a little feedback.
Tyvm mate
And all of Skill Ups partnerships are quality brands. I dig it as well. One of the few ads i don't mind watching.
back to back to back videos..its been a awesome Skill Up week.
Hold on Elden Ring is literally Dark Souls 4, whats the condescending energy
"It's kinda like Nioh 3"
I'm sold.
I honestly think Nioh 2 gameplaywise is so much better than the other soulslike games!
Just hoping they finally managed to improve the story and overall lore/world design bc that is something TN never managed to get right in anyway of their prior games.
That said I'm super hyped for this!
Have you played Sekiro?
@@MaxIronsThird Yeah I did a couple of playthroughs but I don't like it as much as the other FS games tbh
@@Sigma993 I don't know what you didn't like about the game, but combat is just fantastic.
@@MaxIronsThird The combat is 90% just blocking. It's not exactly revolutionary. It's fun and fast paced, but far from as great at Nioh's combat.
@@Purpletrident It seems you haven't played the game, or didn't get far enough, you wouldn't be able to defeat the first mini-boss with this "90%blocking" mindset.
Team Ninja games have their own limitations but on the whole Team ninja are damn underrated
Never got the level design complaints. They are designed to be combat gauntlets and to get you from one gauntlet or encounter to another. They're linear for this reason, you unlock shortcuts as you go so you can quickly move to and from specific encounters or to a quick way to the level boss. They fit with the design philosophy and plays to the fantasy of being a warrior on a battlefield. Calling it bad is like saying an open world game is bad because it's not a tight story-focused game or vice versa. You say as much but I think you construing "different" with "bad" here.
The fact that as long that you hit enemies (and manage to dont get hit)you can apply infinite pressure is amazing,it opens so much for combos is insane,plus you can jump (on enemies too)
I’m really glad you made this video. Helped temper my expectations. Thanks Shilly
I can really tell he's going off memory with Nioh 2 , because Wo Long is a BIG step up from the Nioh games. Levels have never been this big, Team Ninja have moved the setting to Three Kingdoms China which changes a lot of things thematically and mechanically. They finally streamlined the systems which people have been asking about for years, stamina/ki is gone to let you attack more agressively, the ability to jump has changed level design as well as combat, a new and original morale system has been implemented, the incredible character creator is back with even more customization. A lot has been done since Nioh 2, play that game again and be amazed. 👍
So, exactly what I wanted. Super happy and in love with Team Ninja recently.
😏 shillup is a daily thing now love it
Nioh 3 is literally all I want so I'm all in on Wo Long. Looks dope!
Kinda sad to see that stances and some of the complexity is gone, but i get it. How many weapons did you see in the game?
At the very least, on twitter, Ninja confirmed there are over 10 weapons!
@@Purpletrident Nioh 2 had 11, 14 including the ranged options.
@@Purpletrident that's good. I can deal w/10. They'll probably introduce more in a DLC. Like the splitstaff and fists in Nioh 2
so it's basically nioh/ninja gaiden and that's great.
I liked almost everything about Nioh and Nioh 2 games. Except some of the boss designs. Some of the bosses are more focused in being op than fun. Even Elden Ring hardest bosses have some weaknesses that can be exploited. While Nioh 2 will just one shot your character because you're not using a meta build.
I will play Wo Long when it comes out. But I definitely hope they have improved on the bosses designs.
the human bosses sometimes became the most BS bosses in gaming for me. People saying that Malennia was hard never fought Saito Toshimitsu (the blue robes mage optional boss) underlevel.
@@stefanolozardo9711 Yes. Malenia gets staggered when she is hit at least. Plus she has weaknesses to several types of damage.
Human bosses in Nioh are built like trucks that ignore the mechanics of the game and one-shot the player because "hard is fun"
"I chose a very offensive, fire-base variant"
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Looks amazing, looking forward to it. I've read some webnovels so the Mythology looks interesting as well, hope there's enough lore
I think a lot of people have been getting into Xanxia/Wuxia lately, so the setting shouldn't be that unfamiliar.
Speaking of, Nioh 2 complete edition is on sale right now, if you haven't played it and like 3rd person action Rpgs, treat yourself.
As a Chinese, can confirm Wo Long only about 30 percent accurate to the Historic Chinese Three Kingdom era setting. Japanese game developers love to death about this era for some reason (just think how many Dynasty warriors games out there), they definitely over romanticize and fantasize in this game in particular.
However nobody's mad about the historic accuracy, this game is cool af. So don't bother to google how to pronounce how each character 's name should be pronounced, I'm sure even the developer are botching their names for the most part.
But if you are curious about the title: Wo Long. It means "Crouching Dragon" , you know, like the award-winning film: "Crouching tiger hidden dragon". Usually meant to describe people with incredible background/skills but with humble appearance. I guess this is used to describe the player.
Anyways, good stuff, hyped af.
The whole 'wuxia' genre (for want of a better term), already has a pretty decent following over here in the West & Chinese mythology has a fantastic lore so I'm definitely looking forward to playing this. Does anyone know whether you can play the game in Mandarin with Eng subs? coz I definitely prefer that to English/American voice acting for both Chinese & Japanese games (or even Western games set in that region, like say GoT).
@@jubei7259 I was thinking the same thing, if they nail the mandarin voice over, this would be perfect for what it is.
Knowing Koei Tecmo, I think the best they can do is implementing Chinese (simplified/traditional) subtitles with decent Japanese/English voice over. Good Chinese voice actors are hard to come by for Japanese/Western studios in general. If you ever played spiderman on ps5, you would know. That was the most soulless Chinese voice over I have ever seen/heard.
Only few live service f2p games (namely overwatch and apex legends) have seriously good Chinese voice actors working for them. Single player games, unless developed by Chinese studios, usually don't get that kind of treatment.
I’ve been waiting for my next nioh fix. Thanks for the overview
'Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty' is the ultimate sword fighting game. Besides, the sword fighting was really excellent, and the movement speed of the main character and the attack speed of swords, double swords, and weapons were also incredibly fast, and each sword was strong. It's not easy to get a good feel for a sword fight with such a fast attack speed, but it's great that you've succeeded in all of that.
If you attack the enemy with a sword, the blade will be covered with blood, and if you fight, it will be bloody.
And above all else, the attack speed, battle speed, and battle tempo of the battle were very fast, and even the enemy attack was very fast. Besides, I don't know if the enemy's 'A.i' was excellent or because of the discipline system, but each enemy was a normal soldier, so he was very strong like the final boss.
Overall, the combat power of all soldiers in the 'Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty' game is the best in the world. very good at fighting Every single soldier is like a user. They were the strongest of the real swords, and the battles were really speedy, but never easy. But what's important is that it's not just insanely difficult, but the enemies are so powerful that even though it's difficult, the battles are fun to the point of being crazy.
Anyway, the difficult difficulty is by far the world's strongest among the soul-like genres.
와룡 PC스팀판으로 체험판 해보고 싶었지만 안풀려서 플스5판으로 체험판 했는데 진짜 미쳤음 ㄷㄷ
일단 와룡 근접 타격감 엄청 뛰어남. 게다가 칼싸움도 진짜 뛰어났고, 게다가 주인공의 이동속도나 검이나 쌍검, 무기 공격속도도 엄청나게 빠르면서 칼질 하나 하나가 결코 가볍지 않고 강렬한 느낌이 들었음. 이렇게 검격속도가 빠르면서 타격감까지 좋으기는 쉽지 않은데 그걸 해낸게 대단한듯 ㄷㄷ
검격하면 칼날에 피가 묻히기도 하고, 전투하면 피칠갑 되기도 해서 좀 잔인하긴 하지만 피비린내 나는 전투 느낌도 강해서 좋았음.
그리고 뭣보다 전체적으로 전투의 공격속도나 전투속도, 템포가 매우 빠른데 적까지 공격이 매우 빨랐음. 게다가 적군의 Ai가 뛰어난건지, 아니면 사기 시스템 때문인지는 몰라도 적군 하나 하나가 아무리 일반 군인이라 할 지라도 뭔가 잡몹 느낌이 아니라 정예몹, 최종보스몹 느낌이 강했음.
전체적으로 와룡 이 게임에 잡몹 따윈 존재하지 않고 일반 군인몹들도 다 보스몹, 정예몹들 같음. 아니 일반 군인몹들 하나 하나가 다 유저 같았을 정도로 진짜 강력하고 전투가 진짜 스피디하면서도 결코 쉽지 않았음. 그런데 중요한건 그냥 무지막지하게 어렵기만 한게 아니라 겁나 적들이 강력해서 어려운데도 겁나 미칠 정도로 전투가 재밌음.
어쨌거나 난이도는 소울류 중 단연 최강인듯 ㄷㄷ
It is not a soulslike genre.
So much Shill Up this week, I like it
the morale system feels almost like the spiribirds from Monster Hunter Rise, a reason to not just B-line the main objective and run around the map because it makes you stronger for the difficult challenge ahead.
That’s a good comparison. In Souls games you can usually just sprint past the entire level to get to the boss and it doesn’t affect anything. It’ll be interesting to see how much a difference it’s going to make in this game.
In the nioh 2 dlcs there were some levels that were absolute bangers from a disign and artistic perspective, so i will have faith in the levels from this game
I don't think Nioh 2's level design is that bad. I mean it's not FromS level but there are some okay locations. Not very vertical though. By the way, Nioh 2 had a character creator too.
I agree the levels are good enough not everybody has to be fromsoftware in level design.
Yeah, Im currently replaying Nioh 2 and I havent really thought "this is bad level design". At worst, I've noticed it being a touch confusing but most places lead around to each other, so it's really simple to gain your bearings when you just take a moment to explore.
My main complaint with nioh level/mission design was the repetitive, reused levels
I really think this and the Nioh games are more spiritual successors to the Ninja Gaiden series rather than them trying to ape the Fromsoft games. Despite what they might tell you, Fromsoft didn't invent skill based action games.
Hell the style of combat has roots in Ocarina of time
Between this and Ronin I hope Team Ninja makes a great impact on the community proportional to their talent. No more Dissidia's from them thouh, hopefully 😅 I hated their take on that game
Maybe after these games are really successful then can increase their team a bring back Ninja Gaiden.
I think I have like 700 hours on Nioh 2 on PS4.
I didn't know about that game, I'm buying day one.
just played the game and this is in no way nioh 3, makes me seriously question this guy's competence
I’ve spent 3000h during covid on nioh2 and playing Wo Long felt really fresh with the new combat gameplay and improved graphics. Still need a bit of polish but I would buy the game as is anyway.
Well it's not basically Nioh 3 , this game has a different combat and progression system, calling it noh 3 is just a disservice to the game.
Great vid I’ve been crazy excited about this one dropping!
Nioh 2 has better combat than any fromsoft game in both animation and style.
This is not including the visual style of enemies or of the game world.
At this point tho, Wo Long seems to be chinese-themed Nioh 2 so i am more curious about how rise of the ronin turns out.
At this point, Team Ninja is making everything BUT a new Ninja Gaiden lol
I like the linear level design. Edlen ring went open world and was a worse game because of it imo, vast open stretches with nothing in it. even the legacy dungeons suffered this fate to an extent.
Thank you. Not everything has to be open world. Variety is good
Nope.
I agree to an extent. The open world for Elden ring was beautiful but wasn’t much of a fan of it after awhile
Myiazaki will make space in his busy schedule for this game, swamp skill tree, can't pass on that one.
I love elden ring but please stop comparing every game to Elder ring .
Well well both games are soulslike, the comparison is warranted
I really like the spirit gauge idea. very cool.
All I have to say is, Team Ninja ruined Elden Ring for me, after Nioh series I really find fromsoft’s combat so plain and boring.
My man ain’t gon let Austin see his family huh? These uploads be crazy
The main problem i have with Nioh and more so with Nioh 2 (Maybe Nioh 2 that im currently playing just feels this way because of Elden Ring coming this year) Is the Feeling of combat and the feedback when hitting enemies, The stamina early game is also a problem for me as you have to rely on the mechanic were you press a button to earn back some of that lost stamina (Ki) but it leaves you sat for a second and with some enemies having quick and also pretty short moves it feels a bit unfair. This gets better when certain skills become available but for the first 2hrs it can be rough. I Love the games regardless of these faults and some of the heavier weapons have a bit more punch, The enemies are great and the maps are fine for me as it feels alot like the Ps2 style i craze from games like Onimushi.
One tip homie, get the "Running Water" skills from the Samurai tree (Theres one for each stance), it lets you ki pulse with a well-timed dodge instead of having to stand still and press R1.. Def the way to go!
@@atsyed87 Thanks for the help brother, But i already do have that skill and the game feels alot better. Just feels like i had to grit my teeth for 2hrs until i got it
Yh ki pulse is a risk reward...it leaves you sitting for a moment so you have to know when to keep pushing and when to back off..
@@shizukousapostle1stapostle710 Yea but even if I choose to dash out before risking another swing then you still get punished. Dammed if you do Dammed if you don’t. Think they should have made you recover Ki by dashing from start as a core skill.
This looks like my kind of jam ... Good work as always Shill up
the hell? this is not Nioh, just played the demo today - other than being made by the same developer, this has no resemblance of Nioh. what a crap review.
If this is Nioh, sekiro is dark souls with jumping
Man, i totally agree woth you.
I actually thought this was a little more user friendly version of nioh and I really liked it. It was fun and a little more forgiving, granted it was just a demo so we'll see what happens when it releases.
When I first saw the game I thought it would be Team Ninjas take on Sekiro like Nioh was their take on Dark Souls. But looking at this that really doesn't seem to be the case other than some common elements. This looks more like an evolution from the Nioh games themselves.
It definitely feels like a lovechild between Sekiro and Nioh.
That's a good thing. Nioh 2 still has the best action RPG combat system in the industry. If Wo Long can surpasss it, then by all means LET'S!!!
Wow, all the changes in this game are exactly what I wanted from Nioh. Scrapping the stance system and streamlining combat, less focus on loot drops and less time in menu screens, jump button and more incentive to explore the level.
It's a more cut the bullshit, and focus on the combat sekiro style.
And I love it. Those games ALWAYS have the best gameplay.
Leave stats and items and all that fluff for RPGs and MMOs
I absolutely loved Nioh 2, it has some of the best action combat I've played. Decently intrigued by this one (I'll definitely play it), but man I am really looking forward to Rise of the Ronin. I've watched that trailer 10 times already lol.
Every year for the past few years I've seen games that I think "oh damn, I can't wait to see this at the next AGDQ.". This year we've gotten two of those games for me, the last one was Sifu, and now Wo Long is the second I'll be looking for at upcoming AGDQs.
If this game has all of the myths from Dynasty Warriors, then I am already sold.
Big shoutout to Austin and Ralph, huge work on the channel this week
Great video, Ralph. As a massive Nioh fan, I'm excited to play this game. I really like your take on the Nioh vs Dark Souls comparisson. I think it's really well put.
Played this on xbox series x, and ive never played nioh
I played this demo and im so excited it's insane
Nothing like waiting in an airport and see a good ol skill up vid
The way he seems disappointed when saying all the things that make me so much more excited, i just hope this has the same endgame replay ability as nioh since they are cutting back on loot
Not another dynasty warrior clone. I'm thankful for that
if that's your own gameplay Ralph, damn didn't know you are that good as soulslikes.
this game and especially Rise of the Ronin look really good. The PS5 demo is live now
Very cool, I've finished the demo. Very happy with the game.
I love this man's brutal honesty and indepth critical analysis. You're on a different wavelength my dude. Keep at it. This is what separates you from the chaff in the world of reviewers and game lovers.
He’s absolutely awful.
Nioh is my jam since I picked up the first one on a sale. And getting the combat system in a different setting is fine by me. I am also excited to see how Rise of the Ronin shapes up.
Really excited for this. Team Ninja's combat never fails to disappoint.
This is a day one purchase, Team Ninja perfected the soulsbourne genre.
