It’s not also just Chinese Sekiro, as its demo may have made it look.

With that being said, the game isn’t just Chinese Nioh, as previously expected. This is what you’re here for, and Team Ninja did a great job, as always. If you decide to pick up Wo Long, that will be because of the gameplay. It also means that, if you have never given a second thought about the plot in a Dynasty Warriors game, the wall of (well-acted) dialogue and names to remember in Wo Long won’t make you change your mind. That means that fans of the novel, or the aforementioned games, will get a kick out of dramatization of the same events, but with a heavier dosage of supernatural crap being plastered onscreen, in true Souls-y fashion.

In true Koei Tecmo fashion (more on the Koei side of things, though), Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is their Nioh-fied take on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lore, the same tales that spawned the similarly-titled strategy series, as well as the ten quadrillion Dynasty Warriors games the company has developed since 2000.
