Critic Reviews
Life is Xbox
By DerekWo Long Fallen Dynasty Complete edition is a masterpiece of a game. I highly recommend it to anyone who is into the likes of Dark Souls, Nioh and even the Devil May Cry series. Wo Long has a lot to offer to those with the patience to persevere and play through to the end and beyond. I feel like the difficulty of the game is just extreme enough to give you a challenge but not enough to make you throw your controller down in frustration. If you are looking for a compelling story with amazing graphics and a wonderful fighting system then look no further.

By Alparslan GürlekWo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a good action RPG that can be a good starting point for beginners, offering convenience to players without sacrificing its brutal punishments. It also offers a good challenge for experienced players. Some of its success is marred by its weakness on the technical side.

By Henry ViolaThe Battle of Zhongyuan DLC for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty follows in the same footsteps that Team Ninja's prior games did, not in the form of actual new story content, but instead in the form of weapons, gear, and most importantly, a new difficulty tier. This is a no-brainer purchase for those who are a huge fan of the base game that are looking to inch towards true end-game, but I still recommend waiting for a sale or buying the season pass instead, which offers a reduced price per DLC.

By Greg WheelerWo Long: Fallen Dynasty isn’t a bad game per-se and fans of Dark Souls-esque combat should find enough to whet the appetite. Once you get the hang of the Critical-counters and playing aggressively, Wo Long isn’t too much of a challenge though, which is perhaps a bit of a disappointment. The gameplay is very much going to be a make-or-break affair for many people.
