This is the latest title from Ninja Theory and Koei Techmo, who you might recognise as the publishers of Dynasty Warriors and the developers of Nioh. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty borrows a lot from Nioh, throwing a ton of RPG elements, equipment, and weapons at you to play around with.

How Long Does It Take To Complete?

According to HowLongToBeat,Wo Long: Fallen Dynastytakes around 30 hours to complete the main story. We didn’t spend much time doing the side missions, only clearing around ten of them. There are 16 main Battlefields, or missions, in Wo Long, with each one presenting a boss fight at the end of the level.

There are locations to find in each Battlefield known as Marking Flags, which you can collect in every mission. Some are easy to find,while others require you to fully explore each area,and doing so will increase your playtime considerably.Other than that, the missions are all extremely linear. Ignoring side missions entirely won’t hinder you in any way, but most of them are severely scaled-down areas of the maps you’ve played, not requiring a lot of time to beat.

What Kind Of Game Is It?

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is aSouls-like action RPG. It doubles down on RPG elements, flooding you with loot that is the same gear with different stats over and over. It features a similarlevel-up system to Dark Souls, Nioh, and Elden Ring, whereby you earn Genuine Qi and spend it in certain stats to improve your character.

Wo Long features a Battle Flag system that acts as checkpoints in each area,letting you replenish your reusable health potion and level up. Boss battles are hard and normal enemies will mess you up if you give them the chance. To that end, you are expected to die several times during a mission, butyou can play multiplayer or summon NPCsto make it an easier experience.
