Make a strong impression from the first time it is introduced to the public. Recently, a new game trailer of the super game Black Myth: Wukong has continued to be released by the publisher. With countless interesting revelations about this super-themed game Journey to the West. Let’s find out in this article!
Black Myth: Wukong game
Black Myth: Wukong is an action role-playing game with a theme and context similar to the journey of the characters in the hit movie Journey to the West. The player assumes the role of a character with an appearance similar to Sun Wukong and begins to reminisce about the wars on his journey to seek sutras.
The game possesses a diverse fighting style, the transformation of the skill set and the sharp graphics quality have made a strong impression on the worldwide gaming community right from the first time it was introduced. The highly anticipated super product from the developer Game Science will officially launch in 2023. The game promises to bring above all great experiences.
The game trailer
The last time gamers heard the name Black Myth: Wukong was about 1 year ago. Since then, there have been many comments and predictions about the plot and gameplay of this game.
In the new trailer, the developer has provided more specific information about what we can experience in the game. It is known that players will play the role of a character whose appearance is relatively similar to Sun Wukong. This character in turn goes through battles with monsters with powerful magic and powers.
In terms of gameplay, the trailer gives a clearer look at the character’s combat manipulation with the ability to dodge, counterattack, and some virtual transformations used during the battle. In addition, the sound is perfectly invested to bring more epic, dramatic and attractive battles.
The end of the trailer is the scene where the main character enters the main hall and meets a character who claims to be the supreme being. This person has the same shape as Buddha Tathagata.
Main characters in the game trailer
Black Myth: Wukong was conjectured based on the work Journey to the West. Not only because of the images with bold Journey to the West, but also the main character from combat skills to appearance is 90% like Sun Wukong. So is this really Sun Wukong?
What happens in the game is all the nostalgia of a character whose appearance is relatively similar to Sun Wukong. This could be the story of a Monkey King, the successor of Sun Wukong. With the desire to be like his predecessors, he began his journey of cultivation, overcoming challenges to achieve the right results. Because if it is really Sun Wukong, have you wondered why the other 3 characters, Tang Tang, Tru Bat Gioi, and Sa Tang, don’t appear.
These are still just conjectures and all are still waiting to be answered when the game officially launches.
Combat mechanics in the game trailer
Based on the trailer, we should be able to easily guess some of the combat mechanics in Black Myth: Wukong. They are quite similar to today’s popular action and role-playing games such as Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed, … including dodging assassination and healing mechanics.
In terms of mechanics, the player can see the main character dodging using his own illusion. When using this spell, Sun Wukong can instantly leave a clone at the old location and quickly teleport to another location. This is a very effective skill in the process of challenging the boss, the player can prolong the time and use the clone to attract damage to counterattack when the opponent reveals an opening.
Besides, Black Myth: Wukong also has an assassination mechanic. Our powerful monkey can act stealthily as an assassin, slowly knocking down opponents from behind or pushing them down cliffs to quickly knock them. This is a very interesting mechanic that can be used to avoid constant fighting, giving Black Myth: Wukong more diverse gameplay.
The pot of gourd is where our monkey can accumulate blood. After defeating the enemy, a small number of points will be accumulated in the pot. So that when the health is low, you can use it to restore the character’s health.
Some miracles of the Journey to the West
Based on the newly released trailer, gamers can easily notice some familiar miracles that the main character possesses.
The first thing to mention is the cane, which is the main combat weapon of the character. Similar to the Great Sage’s staff, it can be as long or short as you want. With extremely strong power, this staff can easily smash small youkai when their health is low. In addition, it can also be used to cast seals, specifically how the protagonist draws circles to block damage from enemies.
The character’s transformation ability is not inferior to Sun Wukong. When not only in the recent trailer but also in previous trailers, we have in turn seen the main character can transform into countless shapes, from small insects to a large bats. In addition, the Snow Crouching spell has also been used by our character, so that he can not freeze like other creatures in cold, freezing weather.
Various bosses
The Boss system in Black Myth is very diverse and many of them are based on the youkai in Journey to the West.
Players will easily notice giant bears, mutant lions, or head rats,… They remind us of familiar characters such as Hac Hung Tinh, Blue Lion in Su Da Linh. In particular, the confrontation between the main character and a big monkey or confronting the dragon in the trailer will make us easily think of the confrontation between the real and fake Sun Wukong.
