1) Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Unleash your inner hero in this demon-infested RPG.
Experience a dark, action-packed RPG fantasy tale like no other in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Set in China during the Later Han Dynasty, a period of chaos and destruction as the imperial dynasty is ready for collapse.
Wo Long means crouching dragon, which symbolizes a hero not yet known. Demons plague the Three Kingdoms, and the storyline pits you as a nameless militia soldier who fights for survival, using swordplay based on the Chinese martial arts to unleash your hidden strength.
Its unique Morale Rank system adds a new Soulslike dimension to combat. Every character has a Morale level that represents their willingness to fight, with higher numbers indicating stronger foes. Meanwhile, your Morale rank increases as you defeat enemies but will reset upon death. This system creates a dynamic when you die, your character loses morale, and your enemies become more confident, making each battle an intense and thrilling experience.
Choose from a wide array of weapons, including glaives and dual swords, and master the precision and skill necessary to become a true blade master. Utilize wizardry spells that draw upon the power of the Five Phases to attack enemies with elements like flames and ice. And call upon divine beasts like Zhuque and Baihu to perform feats of great strength.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a mature and dramatic tale that combines action-packed gameplay with Chinese martial arts, exploration, and innovative mechanics. Prepare to embark on a thrilling journey through a chaotic and demon-infested world, awaken the true power from within, and become a hero!
