Nioh Dev's Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Is Getting a Playable Demo in the 'Near Future'

So looking forward to this!

Awesome, this was the only game that caused me some initial jealousy (well for 48 hours at least 😉) during the Xbox show. Loved Nioh and have really high hopes for this.

love nioh and ninja gaiden and its even on gamepass. Really looking forward to it and hope it's good

@colonelkilgore I just hope it won't turn out like that ff strangers of paradise game 😭

I'm hype for this but I hope this won't end up being exactly like nioh. Hoping it sets itself apart from it enough like sekiro did from dark souls.

If this is just a clone of Nioh, I'm not in.

Hated Nioh's story delivery, level selection and padded out content, and most of all its terrible loot system and menus/UI

If they have improved those things, with their great combat expertise, I'm in.

@KundaliniRising333 honestly the thing I hated the most in Nioh 1 and 2 was its crappy level design and mission structure.

N.i.c.e. a demo Is welcome thats cool.im really interested in this game l💖ve nioh with all the dlcs and nioh 2 with all the dlcs 2 of the best games ever made.cool stories.extremely fun gameplays.the graphics looks good on my ps4 pro.the story is really good also. Word up son

@colonelkilgore was this announced as a game pass game?

@tameshiyaku no, it was just one of the games which Microsoft notoriously paid for 48 hours radio silence in regards to the fact that it was multi-platform (to create a perception amongst the gaming public that it was an Xbox exclusive).

@Cherip-the-Ripper Strangers of Paradise is actually very good. I'm playing it at the moment.

@tameshiyaku yes it's releasing day 1 on gamepass

@colonelkilgore I just watched the original trailer and it definitely says play it day one on game pass at the end......

@KundaliniRising333 ahh fair… as I’m not into subscriptions I pay no attention to things like that. I was just aware (for 48 hours at least) that it would be on Xbox (Gamepass or otherwise).

@Sil_Am well I'm glad you're enjoying it

@colonelkilgore yah I only chimed in because I went back and watched the trailer to see if there was any actual game play shown and noticed it.

Either way I hope when they say it's built off the backbone of Nioh that it doesn't necessarily mean it's just another clone and reskin of that game. I hope they truly expanded the parts that really needed updating especially that loot system, UI, story and level select, very repetitive aspects, and padded replays of missions, etc...

In my opinion the level design wasn't that bad it was just the way you selected levels/missions was like from PlayStation one era or before: selecting icons and watching little drawings of the characters have Cloud dialog being how story is delivered, it's ridiculous. Even some of the ridiculousness in the way JRPGs handle story have moved well beyond what we saw in Nioh. They would have been better off having no story and claiming(hiding behind the notion as justification for not developing a true fully fleshed out story narrative) that lore and environment are delibering a story like souls.

All that aside, Nioh's combat was good and I hope that's really only thing that they built off of.

@Nepp67 definitely agree on the mission structure it was terrible. That and how they delivered story during those same mission select screens, just felt half baked, lazy, and padded out.

@colonelkilgore thanks for the clarification. This looks like something I might purchase on PlayStation anyways being a huge ninja gaiden an nioh fan.

@KundaliniRising333 Was thinking the same, the individual map felt so dated. Plus i wasn't a fan of all the loot collecting. God Of War did it right without overkill

The Alpha's for Nioh 1&2 are directly responsible for how good the combat in those games turned out.

I cannot wait to get my mitts on the tests for this, been hankering for a Three-Kingdoms-but-Nioh'd for YEARS! I'm hoping we get a similar formula with major improvements a bit like we got from Nioh 1 to Nioh 2.
