Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s combat will be similar to Team Ninja’s other incredibly successful IP, Nioh. According to some of the more recent gameplay trailers and live footage, RPG's gameplay will emphasize the mechanics of parrying, dodging, and blocking incoming attacks.

Like in Nioh, players can also summon spirits who will aid them in battle. It will be one of the core aspects of gameplay that one will have o familiarize themselves with to make combat significantly more manageable.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will remain a Souls-like merciless experience to its core, and mastering all the various tools in the player’s arsenal will be one of the best ways of approaching the game.

Moreover, players will be able to rotate between different fighting styles, with each style representing one of the five elements of nature. These stances will be called “phases” in the RPG.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be set in 184 AD China during the era of the Later Han Dynasty. The term “Wo Long” stands for the crouching dragon, which in mythos refers to a hero with immense potential but is yet to live up to their destiny.

Hence, Wo Long refers to the player character whose goal will be to rise to be a great hero as the narrative progresses, and he rids the land of invaders and monsters.

The story will primarily rotate around the militia of the kingdom, with average playtime expected to last around 40 hours.
