I've Never Seen Anything Quite Like This Game Before...

- Don’t call it a Soulslike, Black Myth: Wukong is so much more. Sure, first glimpses a couple of years ago pointed to a game very much FromSoftware in flavor, but thanks to a string of updates plus the testimony from those who’ve recently played the 2-hour demo at Summer Games Fest Black Myth: Wukong has much more going on.
Reportedly closer to Metal Gear Rising than Dark Souls, developer Game Science are actually gunning for something new altogether. What we can confidently say now is Black Myth: Wukong looks fantastic; combat looks a thrill, environments awestriking, and a theme that’s not been done to such depth before. Black Myth: Wukong has all the hallmarks of an all-timer, should it continue to impress beyond its demo’s runtime.
All in all, Black Myth: Wukong is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of 2024.

The fact that they're trying to not clone anything honestly goes a long way for me. The combat looks fun and the art is beautiful and that's enough for me to get it when I can.
I swear. The Witcher 3 been remade about 30 times
they cloned from the book actually...😂
@@OOCTUSDnot even the book to be honest, they’re expanding the book like a part 2(as a fan of the original book)
This being something completely new while also based upon a Chinese classic is why my interest in this game is so incredibly high. This game is stylistically rich, and it dovetail perfectly with the story it's based upon. I can't even remember how many times I said "No way!" while watching a nearly hour long gameplay preview.
Everyone senses that we have something very special here and I'm desperately hoping they nail the landing once it's released.
People need to remember that there were some incredible action RPGs before the soul series came into fruition just because they're the ones that mastered it does not make them the only ones that you can take from
But Fromsoft are the ones to take from when it comes to level design. No other developer comes close to their mastery of the craft.
@@zedetach I'm not denouncing the fact that from software have some incredible designs their maps are revolutionary their enemy types are incredible taking from several different folklore that they mash together seamlessly their bosses are incredible their music is top notch but still I'm saying they didn't reinvent the wheel with some things they just showed how a small company could go into a huge conglomerate and they don't disrespect both their customers and their workers when they do it
@@zedetach Nah.
@@zedetachshit ain’t better than GoW bro. Stop it
@@zedetach Y'all glaze FS so much.
Game looks so gorgeous, loving the style
The boss models are so good even the frog looks good
The Chinese developer of this game, Game Science, does not consider it to be a Souls-like game, but prefers to use the more general term "action RPG." A spokesperson for the studio told me, "In this game, you can see a lot of spells and transformation moves." He also added that there are various combat styles, allowing players to "create their own combos and find their own style." "This is the freedom we want to give players."
The developers pointed out that the game also has two other key elements that distinguish it from Soulslikes: narrative and difficulty.
The game follows a single, linear path. "This is a story-driven linear game," confirmed a Game Science spokesperson. "In some levels, the maps are much larger than what you just saw, but we wouldn't call ourselves an open-world game."
im just curious if this game will play out the whole journey to west along with his master and juniors or is this just the part where he terrorizes the heavens
@@ftu2021 The game story happened after the journey to the west, Wukong had to walk the path again for some unknown reason, so no, it’s not what you are thinking
@@ftu2021 Pretty sure it's already been established you're not playing with the other members. It's been hinted since the beginning it's an alternative storyline that won't show you with the others.
I'd compare it more to a Capcom action game like Devil May Cry - the souls comparison originally came from the design of the enemies and the nightmarish settings, but now it's escalated into the game as a whole.
Can't waitttt for this adventure in August!
I've been waiting three year's for this 💯
me, 4 years already
My test of whether it's souls like or not is changing difficult level.
This game adapts dynamic difficulty. It's challenging but not too hard. If we beat some bosses very fast, they will turn into another stage. These can provide good experience for both light and heavy players.
One thing I'd like to point out is "penalty" to player when they die, like forcing your resource to drop, hence make the soul-like game much more punishing.
This one combine with the difficulty setting make me strongly disagree when people said that Stella Blade is soul-like.
Indeed, plenty of very hard games out there both before and after Souls games came out, most of them allow for a direct adjustment to the difficulty though.
If there is a decent amount of exploration in this game I’ll be happy. Chests with new armor, new abilities etc.
100% agreed
So temper your expectations, because previews indicate quite the opposite. It has been stated that areas destined to exploration are quite small, linear, full of invisible walls and with little things to discover.
@@alexandervolgzangief6759 I know, I heard the same thing. That’s why I made that comment. Just give me a decent amount, and I’ll be ok. A few areas here and there. I need some kind of exploration to keep me interested.
@@tinobrown1780 yes. Many other RPGs also have pretty linear maps with lots of invisible walls and little things do discover. I just hope that Wukong's maps aren't too small, because if they are, the game will feel like just a boss rush.
@@alexandervolgzangief6759 IGN Japan asked the staff about this during the trial, revealing that the air wall was temporary and spoilers avoided, and that it would eventually open up the air wall to give more room to explore.
animations look incredible smooth
Thanks god its not another souls games
I hate those types of games haven't played any of them or elden ring none of that lol .
Agreed.. when I get it, it'll be my first "souls like/light"game ever
same, only gave sekiro a chance, big regret
@@koammudo43 You are missing out then.
@@user-qv2mx4yo1m Quite a few people play games for fun, not to be mentally and physically challenged at every step. Life does that enough.
Chinese mythology is full of beautiful and actual diverse character and monster designs, many of which are iconic. Many such designs never left China or the SEA region in general due to the language barrier. It's a great thing that we're getting more Wuxia style games. The day we get a full blown Xianxia open world game is when the Chinese game industry will overtake the West. Considering the West puts out only mentally ill garbage nowadays, that day won't be far off.
I understand they don't want it to be a souls like but I hope the difficulty is still there I love a challenge
Can we please stop calling everything a souls like? This doesn’t even look like one. Neither does Stellar blade.
THIRD PERSON ACTION GAME IS SOULS LIKE! AND 2D IS MARIO LIKE AND RPG IS WIZARDRY LIKE
It will Be more like a new Thing which future people will say
Its a Wukon-like
It isn’t a ’Souls-like’ action game?! SOLD.
The gameplay says different, also no difficulty slider, so you tell me what does that remind you of 🤔🤔
@@mobarakjama5570 The gameplay looks fast and fun. Totally opposite of Souls games 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheABElia nice bait
I hear you I do !
@@mobarakjama5570 if you enjoy dodging 100x and attacking x1 and repeating until the boss is dead, then you do you. many people dont enjoy that style of gameplay and prefer combat to be faster and more fluid. nothing bait about not enjoying souls games and preferring something that has better feeling combat. the genre is also completely oversaturated. im also very happy to hear that this is not a traditional souls game as are many people that dont like overly punishing games that are intentionally designed to be unintuitive and annoying
The combat offers three attacking stances as smash pillar and thrust, each leading to a different kind of heavy attack and enhanced heavy attack. These stances can be switched freely during combat, and all enhanced heavy attacks can trigger hitstun.
The smash stance tempo is fastest one. A pro tip for skilled players is that you can make a parry by using a heavy attack combo at the exact moment right before the boss's attack lands on you.
The pillar stance’s enhanced attack allows you to stay in the air, avoiding some ground attacks and stylishly smashing back. However, maintaining this stance rapidly depletes your stamina.
The thrust stance’s enhanced heavy attack can stop the boss's rush at a distance when dealing with close combat bosses.
Additionally, the game offers various powerful abilities such as immobilizing,invisible, "stone solid", clones and different transformation etc. The combat system is diverse, allowing you to choose different strategies to defeat different bosses, so it won’t be too hard like soulslike games. Black Myth: Wukong encourages an active attacking style, not just defensive counterattacks. It is not a Sekiro or Souls-like game. The combat tempo is faster but it is still challenging. If your skills are up to par, you can continuously trigger a boss's hitstun, leading to smooth and thrilling combat.
The game does have a block/parry mechanics. One of few ways we’ve seen players parry enemy attacks is through a light-heavy combo in Smash Stance, which has a mechanic similar to GP (guard point) in Monster Hunter. “Stone Solid” is another block/parry ability that’s been revealed. In previous demos, it was also shown that certain bosses (like the Tiger Vanguard) have the ability to parry player attacks as well. Player could obtain that ability after defeat him. It is a easily-used and time-limited technique allowing player to use for parry, the effect and sound are very cool.
some spells and techniques haven't been revealed.
So far he has these spells and abilities：
Immobilized enemy
invisible
"Stone Solid" instant hardening that parry all attack
fire circle that scare the evils and buff recovery
clones magic by hairs
transforming (4 kinds revealed)
这些都是中国古代神话《西游记》中孙悟空的技能。
needs some solid rising slashing element in there :D
So many positive factors:
No woke agendas
Great graphics
A real story
Visually pleasing
& the studio spent years
making it. I will be buying
this on the release date 🔥
Isn't this game Chinese? Why would it have any American politics? Also I'm so glad my Hershey's bar didn't have anchovies in it. Totally think I'm gonna give it positive feedback for that 👍
@@theriffwriter2194
In the day and age it doesn’t matter
where you live in the world.
Woke companies are ruining
Games and entertainment.
It’s not just America having
these issues.
This looks really nice. Tempted to pre-order, but will hold off for reviews.
Also, I kind of wish they could use the music from the 1970s Monkey Magic TV show.
Well, they have :)
Reviewers are just going to compare it to souls games, which they shouldn't.
Question, why pre-order now? ever? I just don't get it :-s
The reason we would pre-order back in the day was to make sure we would have it on day of release and not arrive at the shop and find it's sold out, with digital, that problem no longer exists.... so why pre-order?
Pre-order bonuses? 99.9% of the time you can just buy those bonuses separate anyway with the total cost being the same/less than pre-ordering.....
@@Zirus_Blackheart i pre-order games I'm 100% going to play. If I'm 100% going to play it, why wait? I'll 100% play every From Software game and every Zelda game, for example. So why not pre-order? It's also one less hassle on the day of release. Also, I use a budgeting system where I have $x to spend on Fun each month. By pre-ordering, I don't have to worry about the cash being there on day of release. I can mentally put a tick beside that item as 'done'.
@@rickenbacker472 if i have the money now then I'd just put the money by till it's release and get what I pay for when I pay for it plus then I can find out how the game truely is without getting screwed over by them ruining the game after release and the reviews are out by adding microtransactions and changing the game in such a way to force you to pay for them such as what GT7 did. Plus i'll know how buggy it is and guage how long to actually wait till i buy it, Cyberpunk 2077 and waiting right till Phantom Liberty to finally actually buying it being an obvious example.
Pre-ordering rewards publishers for forcing games out early and potentially being buggy messes and means they don't get punished for ruining the game after reviews are out.
They should be held accountable and punished for these practices and by pre-ordering you are removing that power from yourself.
Fingers crossed for an easy mode. I love action RPG games but I’m too old and busy to grind them out and git gud like I used to when I was younger.
I'm an old gamer, and somehow this games reminds me of Onimusha series. Especially Onimusha 3.
I love the "Picard Manoeuvre" dodge.
Best translation from story to game and accurate in lore ...well done.
Yo! I literally just saw your like going up to 738 !
First game I preordered in years. This game will be the golden standard when it comes to action rpg games.
I just hope it’s not as hard as Dark souls or Eden Ring
It definitely is going to be hard. It may not be a full blown soulslike but it has a lot of elements from it... mostly the heavy damage from bosses and reliance on dodging. The main difference is that unlike a soulslike or actual souls game where the boss has a hammer and you have a toothpick... you actually have a large variety of moves to use as well. But make no mistake, you can't take any real damage like in a souls game.
I have yet so see some parrying as in Sekiro. Hopefully we do not need an RTX 5090 to fully enjoy the title upon release. Great Video thanks!.
I read somewhere that you can’t parry in this game. It focuses more on dodging and timing those dodges for maximum effectiveness. I think I heard that in another video about this game, recently.
There’s no parry, only a spell you can cast to turn yourself into stone and if you time it right before the enemy hits they get stunned.

Bold statement, in a year with FF7 Rebirth, and Elden Ring's DLC.
Pre ordered and counting down the days!
we don’t even have dedicated ai boards… too complex. too expensive.
This game dark take on Journey to the West oozes atmosphere all over and it's simply superb. Draws me in instantly. Don't even talk about the combat and fast pace mechanics along with other abilities omg so good
Looks more like the newer God of War games than anything, which is definitely not a bad thing
For me its more about how satisfying a game is to play over how good it looks
One of the very few titles I'm eagerly awaiting in 2024. I trust these guys to release a great game and I just haven't had much trust in game studios lately. I cannot wait to play this game.
I have been interested in this for so long.
Calm down guys, we already said that about Biomutant and we all know what happened...
dark souls cross devil may cry. Sorry it it was it is. Game looks bloody amazing though.
Who else is trying to sleep until this comes out?
I'm just wishing it's not button mashing
I think it is
All we have seen is one single combo thats it
Looks booring
@@andreichetan4694chattin
According to Chinese youtuber, it's not
@@asleshplb4116 nah, there are 4 stance with diff styles and many skills, movesets will be unlocked in kill trees
Can anyone confirm if there will be an option to invert both the X and Y axes? Otherwise it will be unplayable for me😢
Pre-ordered, can't wait to play it 🥷🔥
No one cares, and pre-orders in 2024 is tacky and mainly for people who don't know any better.
Pre-orders originally were for PHYSICAL sales, there's no point in pre-ordering for something digital.
It was a reservation, nothing more.
Even by simply looking at it I can tell the hit and damage feedback is on point and players will be satisfied when they lend the blows! The animations and the sound work in combat is done to perfection. A lot of games look impressive but when you're actually playing it you don't get proper feedback from your weapons resulting is underwhelming combat experience
When they make physical copies, i will get one.
I think the main character reminds me of the one in the series monkey. Which I use to watch as a child.
Pretty much the same character. Monkey ( which I watched religiously as a kid too) was based on the same story Journey to the west!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pigsy lol
@@mrambrose5013 ahhhhhh :-D
Its time for Action Rpg to shine again!
Yes you have. Elden ring and shikro and dark souls and stellar blade have similar enimies
Similar in what sense? Fromsoft didn't invent the folklore that they take inspiration from.
Does anyone know if wukong is a silent protag? Haven't heard him say a sentence yet...
I think he speaks only rarely
@@damara2268 that's boring...
@@damara2268 that’s wack, bros on mute 🤐
This game got aura
I will definitely say this game is not run below rtx 3060
But hos does it perform on gtx1060, gtx1660ti and 1080ti??
Why would you even try to play a game of this size in 2024 on these? It wouldn’t do it justice even if it could run it.
@@pc6054 the tier list has a 1060 on it, so meaning the game is made to be run on a 1060 minimum
My friend has a 1080ti so was wondering, it would give 1080p high settings performance right, cause the cards in the 1080p recommended are all 1080ti caliber or a bit slower than 1080ti
I smell game of the year!
If i die ten times (atleast) to the black bear i will kinda put on soulslike
Most of those game journalists were able to beat the bear within 5 tries, I'm pretty sure i can handle the bear easily since I'm a real gamer.😂🎉
@@ak47zaq... do you want to say anything about Hatsune Miku? You kinda are covering the 'style'
finally, we're getting a worthy chinese mythology game.
Gonna wait until the "physical edition" has an actual disc included
Computer nowadays don't even have a DVD-rom😢
@@ak47zaq Then buy the PC version, you don't need my permission
I shouldn't have watched this, how can I wait now
Thank god this will be a movie
Does this game have finishing moves like GOW and Darksiders or just hit and hit till your foes die
Yes, there are finishers
@@rayxxx8187 thank god
I think its similar to souls without parry like they wanted it to be something which is not , will wait until they drop a public demo then i will decide (like i did with stellar blade) every game should have a demo launch to test it out before the final decision
Quality animations = Quality game
Want this game so bad
People can stop claiming that Souls-like games are all the same game, let alone action games.
This is a sponsored video, right?
It's NOT a soul like game, you don't even need to mention Elden ring here, it's more akin to Nioh 2 to me.
I see a lot of Chinese supporters trying to pump its hype on the internet but based on numerous footages here, graphic looks great but seems to me that combat system is still lacking something if you compared with Nioh 2.
I hope it turns out to be good.
Yes I see the resemblance Nioh 2, and noticed supporting hype. Let's face it, these developers must have played tons Japanese games in the past 15 years so it's impossible not to be inspired by them.
@@dac33nr58Every game has its inspirations
@@dac33nr58 As long as the game is fun to play, I think it's absolutely fine to be inspired by other devs and learn from others.
Apart from WuKong, phantom blade zero from another Chinese studio also looks quite interesting . Korean are catching up as well, Stellar blade, The Relic The first guardian and The First Beserker Khazan etc.
it looks so gooood ahhh
Does he have a cloud like monkey magic..?
LOL At people here saing "Thank God it's not a soulslike. I play games to relax not to suffer". They are saying that is not one because it has more mechanics than Dark Souls not because this game is piss poor easy and you can beat everything mashing the square button in a braindead way like in God Of War. We'll see when it comes out if it's bad like that or similar to soulslikes, you may be in for a big dissapointment lol
How long is the game does anyone know???
They haven’t specified but the game size is 130GB so it might be pretty long.
@@pc6054 ohh okay thanks for the info
I honestly thought this was going to be a tech demo that never ever comes out.
On sale on August 20.
Yeah.. the gameplay of this looks very much like cutscenes look in other games in terms of graphics and animations
So if it plays like a boss rush type game? If it’s a great game it’s a great game
No finishers?
In summary: you don't yet know but it has huge potential 😊
the gameplay they show seems more like Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order

@@mobarakjama5570 Or just a standard action RPG... There's nothing about Soulslike games that's new. JS/FO is just a run of mill of RPG that's been around for decades.

my one gripe with this game so far is that these enemies don't seem to react or flinch from your hits? It feels like a Monster Hunter / Final Fantasy game.
Dope I love the monkey king story is so dope
Phantasmagorical, that's a new one 😂

This is the power of Chinese cultural novel. The story and monster inside the novel make this so good.
Wait a minute, weren't we canceling the game since the dev's had refused a 7 million dollar "diversity consultant" deal from our beloved Sweet Baby Inc.
Personally i find that to be just one more reason to buy it.

@@iHaveTheDocuments You are wrong. It's not "literally" everyone. I don't give a shit about what any RUclipsr/Twitch douche does or anyone's reaction to it.
Way to show your hive mind, sheep thinking mentality.
No Kenneth no one except some chronically online nerds were ‘cancelling’ this
Wukong is not a souls like, how many times will people get it wrong
I called this game being potentially 30-40 hours, given the amount of bosses alone that potentially Wukong has to fight.
Just remember, most of the architecture in the game was obtained by real life scans of ancient temples, sculptures and calligraphies... And all of these bosses have a story behind them in the actual book of Journey to the West, including other Chinese mythology. I really hope you guys will enjoy the game and the culture behind it, cuz it really hasn't been shown to international community on a larger scale like this.
And just saying, I've been seeing comments like "this is Hanuman 🇮🇳" or "this is Goku 🇯🇵“. I just want to say no one likes cultural thieves and Wukong belongs to the Chinese/Han community (not just nationality, yk, Chinese Singaporean/Taiwanese/Malaysian etc.). When the book was written (16 Century) there are no translated Hindi books in China so the Hanuman theory is questionable, and Goku is a salute to Wukong (They have the exact same name in written Hanzi/Kanji), and I hope you guys enjoy it in August!
This game blew me away when I first saw it 4 years ago. Now it just looks like a normal game.
Still looks better than 99% of other games nowadays
it looks to me like a souls game with a bit more action features. I don't see RPG related elements anywhere.
Well the gear you can find have stats that influence your character

@@geolykos several skill trees I believe
If this is like sekiro I'm interested
Can’t wait to play this shit
Hi Everyone !
this is what all current gen games should have looked like from the start. not like a slightly fancier PS4 game. this is next gen
Nice League of Legends Wukong remake.
Not gonna watch this vid to avoid in game spoilers 🤣🤣
Needs co-op..
The only game I play is monster hunter mainline games. And this is nothing like my monster hunter
Boss fights and high difficulty is the norm nowadays, just because a game has these mechanics doesn't make it a Souls-like game.
My bet, the best game of the year no doubt😎😎😎
No.
Play more games.
Why have a video about what to expect from the game when you haven't played the demo? There really is nothing to tell us that we don't know ourselves. I want to hear from someone who actually played it so we can hear how it plays,how complicated it is, what mechanics or skills to unlock? Can you use different weapons other than the staff?
My GOTY ❤
But does it have an easy mode? I suck at video games and need a baby mode.
For my low iq freinds:: PERRY is there(you get in skill tree ,
wukong skill) ,,,,, BLOCK( you will get STONE SOLID skill (blocking any type of hits) ..
(Acrobats he is very agile and there are many acrobatics move
Semi open word ( tons of path, and tons of exploration are there)
Boss is difficult and challenging ( they have second phase)but little bit easier then soul like ,elden ring,
Game contains cut scene and jaw droping graphics and details and world breaking music
Play time 25+++hour (expected depend on person play style)
Many skills and transformation such as ( after image, immobilize, transformation,shadow clone ,stone solid),and so on
Cosmetic and leveling system are their as you like
RPG elements are their:: collectable,Armor,level system, are their
All praise the FromSoftware!
Aren't we blessed in receiving many games today of this here genre. Never gets old. Only becomes a problem when we have too many great variations of them.
I hope this game is an Elden Ring/ Souls killer.
they are different，we just need all kinds of good games
