The term "Soulslike" has been thrown around a lot lately, perhaps too much, as more and more games borrow elements of FromSoftware's signature formula without wholly devoting themselves to it. However, there are several, very specific features a game must possess to be a true Soulslike , so it's not as common as it may seem. Black Myth: Wukong is one of gaming's latest titles to be called a Soulslike by many onlookers, but it may not have what it takes to live up to the la

Judging by just a few minutes of Black Myth: Wukong 's gameplay , it's easy to see that its combat requires non-stop dodges and frequent attacks from the player if they hope to emerge victorious. For the most part, traditional Soulslike games aren't known for having combat that moves this rapidly and, instead, generally demand a more patient and methodical approach from the player to prevent their stamina bar from draining and leaving them vulnerable. It is possible for the Destined One to run out of stamina in Black Myth: Wukong , but it's hardly ever enough to completely disable him and it recharges rather quic

Black Myth: Wukong is a very difficult game , enough to frustrate even the most seasoned Soulslike fans with its countless swift and tireless bosses. As such, it's important for anyone diving into Black Myth: Wukong for the first time to know the ins and outs of its combat. Otherwise, they'll take the fast track to repeated deaths and therefore inhibit their progress. One of the most valuable features players will need to take advantage of in Black Myth: Wukong 's challenging combat is combos, as they can often turn the tide of bat

The Wandering Wight is by far the best Spirit in Black Myth: Wukong , as it significantly increases Defense when it is equipped, takes a significant chunk out of an enemy's health on contact, and even briefly staggers them.

Additionally, you can look to Immobilize him to make hitting your attacks a bit easier. The only thing to watch out for when going in for the spell is to ensure that he cannot mist away, as the spell only works if he's in physical form when you cast it. It also won't hit if he's too far in the air, so watch out for his leaping attack's timing so you don't waste m

Since Soulslikes make up a sub-genre of the action RPG space, it can be difficult to discern the differences between the two at times. In light of Black Myth: Wukong 's technical classification as an action RPG and its constant comparisons to the Soulslike genre, it's worth examining which aspects of the game cause it to lean more toward the action RPG spectrum and which might justify its unofficial categorization as a true Soulslike g

Skill point respecification in a role-playing game is typically an expensive endeavor, as it generally requires the player to shell out currency in exchange for the ability to rebuild their character. In Black Myth: Wukong , however, players can respec their skills points, or "Sparks," an unlimited number of times for free at any of the Keeper's Shrines found throughout the game's sizable world. The fact that Black Myth: Wukong allows players to perform such an advantageous move for free says something about how often it is necessary, which is something players should thoroughly consider as they progress through the g

This is a tougher boss, so you'll be able to grab some extra Will while you're here to help level up any of Black Myth: Wukong 's three Stances more quickly. The Stone Vanguard will put up a fight, but smart usage of Cloud Step and your other skills will serve you well h

The crafting system in _Black Myth: Wukong _ is typical for a Triple-A RPG, so having plenty of the rarer but "basic" materials, like silk, will allow you to craft new armor as the situation needs. Each armor set provides unique buffs , and equipping full sets will even give an additional, or stronger, effect when you wear all the pieces.
