Introduction

So, buckle up and get ready because Black Myth: Wukong is here to swing us into action with its thrilling narrative based on the ancient Chinese tale of Journey to the West. The monkey king is back—no, not the one your mom asks you to clean up after—but the legendary Sun Wukong, the cheeky, staff-wielding monkey who’s got as much attitude as he has abilities, and it’s time to see if the hype is real or if we’re just monkeying around!

Gameplay

The gameplay mechanics in Black Myth: Wukong unleash an impressive array of techniques to keep you fighting your way through visually stunning environments, slapping yaoguai (which is fancy for demon) into next week.

Underneath that sweet exterior lies a combat system that has you stretching your staff via the Ruyi Jingu Bang, proving that size really does matter—especially when it comes to bludgeoning enemies! You get to switch stances and perform thrilling combinations like a seasoned martial artist. Plus, you can shapeshift into different beasts, giving it a whole new level of strategy.
