In a world where Soulsborne exists, do you really need more ancient Chinese swordsmen? Try these out. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty by Koei Tecmo is a souls-like game similar to their Nioh series. Nevertheless, there are several significant modifications, like the use of an attack deflector, the use of an ancient Chinese setting, new characters, foes, and bosses. Yet, we noted in our review that it “essentially” is the third Nioh game.

If you’re seeking for another souls-style game or a game with a comparable scenario, there are a few titles that are comparable to Wo Long. This is only a coincidence, although Koei Tecmo also produced several of these games.

Elden Ring

One of From Software’s most popular games, Elden Ring, has gameplay that is similar to Souls and is set in an open world. It gives you more freedom than its predecessors, but you can’t just go anywhere you want because some places require you to have already done something.

Elden Ring is just like the other games in the series. It has a lot of enemies and bosses that are hard to beat, up to four-player co-op, strategic places to rest, heal, level up, and move quickly, and a central hub where players can upgrade their gear and buy supplies. If you like Soulsborne games but don’t like how closed off they feel, Elden Ring might be the perfect game for you.

Sekiro

From Software’s game Sekiro takes place in feudal Japan. It is known to be one of the hardest games in the Soulsborne series, like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which scared away some players of its predecessors. Even though the main character usually dies a lot in games like Sekiro, the game takes it a step further by adding Dragonrot, a disease that can spread and can’t be treated if the main character dies too often.

Even though your old ways of dealing with bosses might not help you much. Over time, you can still figure out how they attack, as long as you remember what will happen if you die too often. You can also find out what weaknesses a boss has before you fight it. If you pay attention to what’s going on around you and what your enemies say.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is the second game in the series to come out outside of China. The first was Xuan Yuan Sword EX: The Gate of Firmament. It is an action role-playing game where the swordsman Taishi Zhao goes on a journey to save his sister from a scary monster who hurt her badly.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a fairly linear game with sword combos and dodging that modern action game players have come to expect. This game is different because Taishi’s attacks get stronger as you use them more. This is more interesting than just leveling up to make the character stronger. In games in general, this is how things are done.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition

The seventh game in a series, like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty or Sword & Fairy or Chinese Paladin. Sword & Fairy Together Forever is only the second game in the series to come out of Japan, so it’s okay if you’ve never heard of it before. In Sword & Fairy Together Forever, Yue Qingshu is the main character. She and a few other people go on a quest to find out why monsters called Vicious Beasts are attacking people.

As an action RPG with a party system, you can freely switch between each party member and use their unique skills in battle. There are also a lot of sidequests for people who like that kind of thing. Even though many of them might not make it clear that they are talking about games that came before this one.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13

Koei Tecmo made the strategy game Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13. It is part of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, which is also known as Sangokushi in Japan. Since Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11 came out in 2006, this is the first game in the series to be released in the West.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 is based on a historical novel with the same name. You can play as one of the heroes of the story and plan your way through each map. Along with the usual campaign mode, which follows the story. “Hero mode” is a tutorial mode for people who have never played the game before.

Wild Hearts

After the two Toukiden games, Wild Hearts is Koei Tecmo’s third hunting action game. It stands out because it has different weapons and a way to build called Karakuri. Karakuri are tools made from wood and Karakuri thread. Which you can get from the environment by killing Kemono, cutting down trees, or breaking rocks.

Kemono come in two sizes, small and big, but the big ones are what puppet hockey is mostly about. Like similar games, the main way to play is to hunt Kemono and use the materials you get from them to make better weapons and armor. When you hunt big Kemono, you get Kemono Orbs that you can use to improve your Karakuri and open up new ones. This makes it much easier to hunt in the future.

Nioh 2

Nioh, a series by Koei Tecmo, was similar to Souls before Wo Long. As Nioh 2 is a precursor, you don’t need to be familiar with it. Moreover, you create your own character rather than relying on an existing one. Instead of selecting a certain class, you choose a weapon and may experiment with all of them before making a choice. Along the journey, you’ll still come across more weaponry.

Moreover, you have three battle stances that may be used in various fights: low, medium, and high. Moreover, Yokai adversaries in Nioh 2 may drop Soul Cores that can be exchanged for Guardian Spirits. You may learn several Yokai Abilities from these Guardian Spirits, which gives the game an additional level of difficulty. Although while Nioh 2 is a distinct game from Wo Long, there are many similarities between the two.
