DONG WU: ODYSSEY

The game's simply too basic. I had bought it as a spur of the moment thing, because it was dirt cheap, and I love "Darkest Dungeon", which is the obvious inspiration, but as I started playing I realized it's a mobile game brought to PC. The problem is, almost nothing is explained, the UI is very clunky for a PC game, and English translation is incomplete. Can't recommend.

I've played this game when it was a live-service (when there was pseudo PvP arena and an incredibly unstable, internet required experience) and I'm glad they managed to push the game into the offline format it should've been. The game is basically Darkest (Furriest) Dungeon 1, but with plenty of unique characters and a story it attempts to rope you into (more on that). Edit: Forgot to mention the lack of English localisation. Skill descriptions are inconsistent, embedded keywords not being correctly formatted and extra text not really making sense. It could be google translated Mandarin into English, but it reads a lot worse than that. It looks good and the core concept is there, but it's unpolished and has a rather rough on-boarding phase for a new player. The tutorial needs to cover the game mechanics. Currently, only the basic combat mechanics are explained, leaving other mechanics, such as leveling heroes, armour polishing, the menu items (like what the 'camp' does) up to experimentation and walking around town, meeting an npc and studying the menu. The story had a wordless, comic style introduction (it exists on their twitter account), and it feels like a missed opportuni…

Near miss for me - though the art style is cool, its utilisation of picture book story narration makes it hard to immerse/invest in the story, after that you're just killing things that get in your way as you auto travel from place to place... Combat on normal was DD knockoff and felt bland, repetitive and simple. Didn't try hard mode in honesty as I couldn't see it adding much and I wanted a refund... If you like the sound of a Chinese simplified Darkest Dungeon with animals instead of cosmic horror entities, then it is well priced; but it just felt all in all to basic for me :/

Yeah it's five bucks and looks cool... but its also completely unfinished, buggy, and near unplayable. This DD knockoff is just that. The art style is really good, though.

Is a nice game

The game is "fun", pretty straight forward and fun. Has plenty of upgradability. GREAT graphics. Honestly, I'm surprised the reviews aren't better.
