Wuthering Waves: A Game That Has Recovered from Its Launch Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Wuthering Waves<\/em> launched about half a year ago on iOS, Android, and Windows, there were serious issues on day one. While some can be forgiving when a game launches, especially a live-service game that will get lots of updates, the errors that many experienced were catastrophic. However, developer Kuro Games didn\u2019t give up on the title, and it has more than recovered from its launch, even becoming a nominee at The Games Awards last year.<\/p>\n

What is Wuthering Waves?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who aren\u2019t familiar with Wuthering Waves<\/em>, it\u2019s an open-world, free-to-play action RPG similar to Genshin Impact<\/em> in many ways. However, its combat is more focused on spectacular combos, perfectly-timed parries and dodge counters after avoiding attacks at the right moment. Some players say that the combat is inspired<\/a> by Devil May Cry<\/em> games. Heck, there\u2019s even a reference to Vergil’s (modded) chair<\/a> in the game.<\/p>\n

A Different Combat System<\/strong><\/p>\n

I also play Genshin Impact<\/em> and can appreciate the differences between them, as Wuthering Waves<\/em>\u2019s combat system satisfies an itch Genshin Impact<\/em>\u2019s doesn\u2019t. Farming is quick, and the story is improving. The events are fun, except for the Tower of Adversity endgame mode and the Pincer Maneuver event series that comes back once in a while. Maybe it\u2019s a skill issue, but I find these modes rather challenging if you don\u2019t have the latest featured character or a featured recommended element. The Depths of Illusive Realm roguelike mode needs some more variety, but I suspect that\u2019s in the works as it rotates back in soon.<\/p>\n

A Game Worth Playing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite any faults, I still play Wuthering Waves<\/em> daily on Windows and look forward to future content; It\u2019s good enough that I\u2019m taking any faults in stride. Earlier this month, Kuro Games CEO Solon Lee released a letter<\/a> in Chinese thanking fans and revealing that Wuthering Waves<\/em> reached its highest single-day revenue when version 2.0 was released. I felt encouraged by the letter, and I can confidently say I\u2019m glad I gave the game a chance last year. Whatever the company has in store, I\u2019m all for it.<\/p>\n\n
