Anyone who’s spent a lot of time playing games in the “Souls-like” genre probably realizes that many of them like to find interesting and unique ways to tell their stories. From unique or strange NPCs, to hidden lore, the genre is clearly happy to trust players to find the story, rather than just force it through cutscenes and exposition. In this sense, “Wolong : Fallen Dynasty” lives up to the title of “soul”.
Whether it’s From Software or an unknown indie developer, one of the most common ways to enhance traditional narrative delivery is through collectible documents scattered throughout the game world. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty uses this mechanic to scatter 31 tablets at almost every stage of the game. With each tablet discovered, a small piece of knowledge is shared, gradually revealing more of the story Team Ninja tells.
