Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has an interesting difficulty level. In order to unlock Soaring Dragon difficulty the player will need to complete a significant portion of the battlefields on Rising Dragon difficulty.

There’s also a new difficulty level, Soaring Dragon which is basically NG++. It quickly become my favorite weapon type and has been used almost exclusively since launch. The high speed of this weapon lends itself well to more aggressive playstyles.

When equipped with these gauntlets the player now punches everything to death. To help combat these new threats there’s a new divine beast and a new weapon type: the cestus. The shield soldiers are just irritating, but again, that also seems to be their purpose. The new demonic creatures are visually appealing and provide a good challenge.

There are a few new enemies, all of which are annoying in their own ways, but that’s part of what can make killing them so satisfying. The additional content in Battle of Zhongyuan consists of three main story battlefields and seven sub battlefields, which are all comparable to what was found in the base game. This would have been inappropriate for the serious tone of Wo Long, so it was nice to see him a different interpretation of him. In some other games Xu Chu has almost been a comic relief hungry fat guy type of character. A sigh of relief was had after the introduction of Xu Chu were he was characterized as not only a powerful warrior but as someone that was treated with dignity and can be taken seriously. This content introduces two major characters that have been staples of other Three Kingdoms games: Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Despite suffering heavy losses, the Yellow Turban rebellion has not been completely quelled, so it’s up to the player to assist General Cao in putting an end to the uprising. But it’s still a game that was well loved at Hardcore Gamer, and after conquering the demons that were invading China in the base game, the first of three DLC expansions is upon us in Battle of Zhongyuan.īattle of Zhongyuan picks up with the player working under Cao Cao. Contrary to many other games set in the Three Kingdoms period where players are effortlessly slaughtering hundreds of enemies, Wo Long puts the player against a significantly smaller number of enemies while greatly increasing the threat level.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dark fantasy reimagining of the fall of the Han Dynasty, a familiar setting to anyone who’s read Romance of the Three Kingdoms or played any of the numerous games derived from it.
