| Genre: | Role-playing (RPG) & Adventure |
| Developer: | KOEI TECMO GAMES CO. LTD. |
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dark fantasy action RPG set in the Three Kingdoms era, created by Team NINJA, the developers of the Nioh series.
The game happens during the year 184 CE, and the once-prosperous Han Dynasty is about to collapse. It starts with an attack by an army known as the Yellow Turbans on a tiny village, with a player-made character getting a mortal blow while trying to resist some soldiers.
In addition to standard light and heavy attacks, the player is equipped with weapon-specific skills that make them vulnerable to attacks but can decimate an enemy’s health bar if they connect. You may try some offensive or defensive Wizardry spells. They range from fireballs (quite straightforward) to summoning thorns out of the ground that consume a part of your enemies’ life force while replenishing your own.

A night that was supposed to change everything.

But everything was over in a blink of an eye. An incredibly violent meteor shower fell from the heavens, annihilating everything below. The soul of Louisa was taken. Kaser was changed… With this new ally by his side, Kaser starts a journey to bring his sister back from the void, realizing that the meteor shower was not an act of nature. It was the arrival of the Voidrax, invaders from other dimensions on a conquest to destroy other species and drain the energy from their souls.
