An ancient tale, often retold – and that’s just the story of the development studio that created it.
It’s a Souslike trip to the Western-inspired Boss Rush. Black Legend: Wukong!
Jeremy: I am half Taiwanese and spent most of my 20s in Taiwan and Hong Kong. So, Sun Wukong and his plans for the journey to the west seeped into my consciousness in the same way that someone who grew up in England or America could read the stories. King Arthur in childhood. There have been many games played during Wukong’s journey in China to find the scriptures and attain Buddhahood, none with as much shock and intrigue as The Soul of Game Science.
Black Fairy: Wukong doesn’t put you in the role of the Monkey King – instead, you’re a cross-breed who can one day harness Wukong’s power if you collect all the MacGuffins left behind. After the rebellion against the Blue Court. To find these McGuffins, go on quests in a series of six chapters that aren’t open-world but are still pretty big. Along the way, it’s boss after boss after boss, all of which you crush with your staff, including Wukong’s famous Rui Jingu Bang Facilile that stretches to thunderous heights at the end of the game if you play your cards right. Oh yeah, and in the final chapter, you get to ride on Wukong’s flying cloud too – hi, Dragon Ball fans.
There was a lot of controversy before Black Legend: Wukong’s release, mostly because Davis’ misogynistic rants on Sina Weibo went viral. IGN report. Also, there were guidelines telling streamers not to criticize the Chinese government, mention Covid, or be busy.Feminist propagandaWhile playing the game, game science received enough criticism for these scandals, and Black Legend unfortunately became a reference to both tanks and people on X who like to rally behind “anti-active” games. .”
All these headache-inducing things made me dislike Black Legends. But while I’m constantly raising my staff, fighting giant enemies inspired by Chinese mythology, and writing walkthroughs for the game’s six chapters (allow me to shamelessly plug our total). Black Legend Walking Center), I couldn’t help but bite back in surprise at seeing him so shockingly aware of the history I grew up with. It’s a very good Soulslike (invisible walls aside), and considering it’s Game Science’s first major release, it’s all the more impressive. Any criticism behind the development is valid, and I sincerely hope the devs don’t engage in sex before airing the series. But this is a trip to the West, and I have to admit that when I think about how I used to draw pictures of Wukong as a 12-year-old, I feel somewhat proud when I see the world. Appreciate that Black Legend has arrived.
Nick: I only played enough to fight about three bosses, but what bosses they were! I think boss battles are a vital part of what makes Microsoft games fun, and spinning that into a full game – especially one with such fluid combat – is pure genius. It’s also a quick timer move where you spin your pole up to avoid ground attacks.
Ed. Chinese mythology and travel have made me learn about the West, and I think that’s great.
