LMAO, I feel you bro.
They deliberated changed the English title compared to Original Chinese, who direct translation is "End of Ming Dynasty: Fallen Feathers".
Wuchang is protagonist name, also is Chinese phonics for "impermanence", which I take it's the Buddhistic term.
Yes it's coming.

Anyway, I should start dipping into the lore on this stuff. I've been playing Koei games about Three Kingdoms since 3rd grade on the SNES so I'm very familiar with that. But these stories are completely foreign to me. The first time I heard about the "monkey" story was that Enslaved game on the 360. You remember that? I heard it was good but never played.

Yep. I came from China, now an American. Born and raised there for my first 20 years, so the culture and literatures have branded into my brain.
I bough the Enslaved in the Steam winter sale, probably will be a better game than Hellblade in terms of gameplay, lol.
Did you also know that Suikoden series were also loosely based upon another classic novel from China called Water Margin?
Journey to the west, Romance of three kingdoms, and this Water Margin are all among the "Greatest Four" of classic Chinese novels. It's so well loved and known so using them as game background is a like no brainer for Asian devs.

Damn, that's crazy. Love the games but never knew that. Pumped for the remasters in March. Easy Day 1 purchase.
Is Wuchang part of the Journey to the West or its own thing?
I might actually play Wukong now. I'm getting interested. Need to read up on the lore first so I have some context.

Cant believe I've gotten tired of souls likes. But too much of something good... It's become like the new WW2 games from back in the day

Wuchang is a mythlogical creature in Chinese folk lores who is taking your soul to the Underworld when you die. So it actually appears in a lot of mythlogical settings.
But in terms of those two games, I don't think they are related at all. Wuchang is loosely based on Chinese history around 1640s which Monkey is purely mythology.
I think Black monkey is a great game in the context that it's the first proper AAA game from China, but the low mid 80 score is probably justified if compared globally. The art and music are insane, but level designs are lacking in my opinion.

Moderated wildly
I'm all for this push for bringing back character models we liked but I refuse to play mediocre games, or less than great games for some tits and ass.
So, if it's good I'll play.

That looks like a downgrade.

This place is nothing but bitching and moaning. If you aren’t interested in a game why even click the thread? Don’t like souls-likes? Why are you even here?
This game looks like a solid attempt and I’ll be picking it up and supporting as many good looking “souls-likes” as I can.
Emulation of one of the best developers in the business is not a bad thing at all and I’d argue it is great for gaming as a whole.

Not relative to the rest of the franchise given the mechanical issues in those.

To be fair, the game is not complete.

Wish.com Wukong. Less interesting character, worse combat, boring looking boss battles, cheap looking production values, and they switched the design of the lead to appear facially prettier to western audiences.. clearly not understanding what it is that has made Stellar Blade has been so popular in some circles..
Interested to see more but so far it isn’t doing it for me.
