Players say Wo Long is a good game obscured by reams of tech issues and bizarre controls.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty came out today, but it could probably have used a little extra time in the oven. Players across the internet are complaining about all sorts of technical problems with the game’s PC version: dropped frames, stuttering, issues with shaders, and other performance issues that have become disturbingly common in PC ports over the past couple of years. But that might not even be the worst of it, players using a keyboard and mouse to play the game are reporting some truly baffling design choices with Wo Long’s controls.
You don’t have to go far to find players complaining about technical problems. Only 31% of Wo Long’s 2,331 user reviews (opens in new tab) are positive at time of writing, and many of the negative ones mention the game’s performance. One review from a user named AloneInSilence (opens in new tab) sums it up, calling the game « Unplayable » due to « Constant stuttering, regular freezes, occasional crashes, » which happen « in gameplay, in cutscenes, and even navigating menus ». Issues like these were also present in the game’s demo (video below), and it seems the full game is no different.
