Treat it like the Greek mythology, yeah the source is from a novel but where it become famous is through creations of medias and other renditions based on the story. People in China is very familiar with the story but not really many have read the og material itself

If you want to delve more into the story I recommend the Stephen Chow's films (Chinese Odyssey 1 & 2). Had its own spin in adapting the source material but widely enjoyed. For a more faithful version the D***y Cheung's tvb series

this game f***ing rocks man, so flashy and fun, every animation is so sick

yeah I’m f***ing with this game heavily, just keeps getting better

YASSSSSSSSSS I COMPLETED IT

that last fight was a f***ing joke lmao, enjoyed it but he had my pants down

incredible game, honestly had a blast with this, going to go back and kill some bosses I missed

so excited for what else the Chinese have to offer, they hit it straight out the park with this

This is like a fast-paced linear Souls-like boss rush so far. I’m at the Black Bear boss.

for some reason i cannot beat the whiteclad noble lol idk why

been fighting this nigga for an hour

This Elder Jinchi fight kicking my ass

that one’s lowkey easy, if you kill the zombies it replenishes your health

Abuse pillar stance

Yup I figured it out on chapter 2 now

F*** that tiger

ended up beating him the literal next try after posting that lol

i’m like 3-4 bosses past him now and he’s still been the hardest for me so far idk why

Wow there is so much to the progression system what the hell

Goard upgrades, Armor leveling, relics, Medicine, Transformaton, Vessels… crazy

Chapter 3 is so massive

you can even do an entire build where all that stuff gets cancelled out and you just do massive physical damage. it’s called spellbinder. helpful against certain bosses.

and the fact that you can infinitely and freely respec all points at every rest

Honestly didn’t think they’d go bigger than chapter 2 but yea I’m impressed

Chapter 2 was beautiful

How y'all beating the game so quick, damn between work and other s*** I be crawling like y'all in school or summ 😂

the camera is so bad against kang jing loong

Thought I packed up White Clad Noble first try and than he has a second phase

15 optional bosses in chapter 3 is nuts

15? WTF

How are the bosses compared to FromSoft bosses?

And

How are the bosses compared to souls like game bosses not by From?

Haven’t seen anything yet besides the early gameplay footage and trailers, didn’t even realize this was out yet and won’t be able to play for a long while bc no PS5
