Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a fast, frenetic, and frustrating game. The boss battles and combat are up there with Team Ninja's best. The game is tightly designed and the developer's willingness to experiment with the formula creates a unique spin on the soulslike genre. However, it may be the roughest Soulslike to get to grips with yet.
