An action RPG based on Chinese mythology
Black Myth Wukong adapts Journey to the West, a cornerstone of classical Chinese literature. The player assumes the role of the Destined One, a warrior who faces epic challenges in settings that blend fantasy, magic, and martial arts. The game draws inspiration from the legendary Monkey King, creating a symbolic and powerful protagonist from Chinese folklore.
During the campaign, the player faces a variety of enemies, including complex bosses with unique mechanics. The diversity of spells, weapons, and abilities allows for customization and freedom of combat. This rich mechanics, combined with the detailed visuals and immersive setting, have led to comparisons to games like Elden Ring and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.
