Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - Battle of Zhongyuan Review (FreshRevenge)
This is hard for me to rate because in one breath I enjoy the game but the dlc is kind of a let down
So let's say what I didn't like
Story. I don't think the story was interesting, I don't remember it. I also feel characters from the main game behaved differently for some reason. It was like they're a different person. The new companions are not that great.
The levels feel small in scope, I felt I was through a level pretty fast. Unlike the main campaign levels felt larger.
They add 2 or 3 new enemies or monsters. But one of them feel like a reskin boss from Nioh 2 but smaller snakes
Bosses, I feel like they reused some of the bosses from the main game and reskin them to be ghost phantoms to fight again.
There was only one new weapon they added which were the fists or cestus. Nothing really impressed me about them.
I do feel the adding a new game plus and a level cap increase was nice. I also did like one of the bosses, with one of the new characters they added. Unfortunately with the other reskin bosses, I didn't really have a desire to redo the dlc 3 times over.
I am still looking forward to the next dlc, but I just hope they can improve or add more bosses that are not reskin bosses from the main campaign.
Unfortunately I have to rate this dlc a no. It didn't impress me but hopefully they can improve it will better bigger level design and better bosses that are not reskin bosses from the main campaign and maybe just more weapons and better story telling and characters that you will like.
Oh before I forget, the AI companion system is horrible. They are weak and fall in battle too easily. They don't drink health potions when they are injured. During boss fights, the boss makes it near impossible to help revive during the fight. I wish they would just let them revive after a period of time. At the moment the reinforcement system is completely useless outside the character's involvement in the story.
