As if it couldn’t obtain larger ranges of success, Sport Science’s Black Fantasy: Wukong has offered 18 million copies inside two weeks of launch. It’s an unbelievable milestone, however the journey isn’t over but, as an enlargement is confirmed to be within the works. What it may supply, when it launches, and so forth. is all unknown, and it might be some time earlier than any info is on the market. That gained’t cease us from wishing for sure issues and hoping they arrive true. Listed below are 15 issues we’d wish to see from Black Fantasy: Wukong’s first enlargement.
Map
Will or not it’s added in a post-launch replace sooner or later? In all probability. If it doesn’t, the topmost function that ought to arrive with the enlargement is an in-game map. Make it accessible to all gamers and embody the bottom sport alongside no matter new areas are added within the enlargement. One thing, something, even a bodily map that the protagonist has to take out each time and manually mark waypoints with a pen, can be very best. Allow us to navigate Black Fantasy: Wukong’s world extra intuitively, particularly when revisiting outdated places or investigating potential secrets and techniques.
Quest Tracker
Exterior of the boss fights, there are various quests to finish. Having a tracker to notice the following step can be nice. That doesn’t imply having a waypoint system continuously pointing in direction of the following goal. Maintain the invention factor alive whereas making it simpler to know what’s pending, making it simpler to backtrack and mop up earlier than progressing the story.
Loadouts
With all of the totally different armor units, Spirit Expertise, and Transformations within the sport, it’s stunning that there’s no choice to create loadouts. If a sure mixture isn’t working in opposition to a boss otherwise you wish to swap issues up, having the ability to save these into builds that may be swapped from shrines can be nice. It will save time when swapping the whole lot out, defeating a boss, after which swapping again to the same old set-up if nothing else.
Transmog
One of many different bafflingly absent choices is transmog, or equipping the look of an armor set with out messing along with your stats or present construct. It’s one other factor that Sport Science may launch in an replace, particularly given the demand and if it decides to launch any non-pay-to-win cosmetics. If not, there’s no higher time than with the enlargement, particularly because it’ll doubtless have much more armor units to pursue.
New Spells
Not together with Transformations and Spirit Expertise, Wukong affords eight spells, every with its upgrades, however since that is an enlargement, it solely is smart to need extra. What needs to be added is anybody’s guess, given how a lot there already is, however some extra vary choices can be very best. Given his talents, manipulating the climate, summoning dragons and spirits, and far more are doubtlessly on the desk (alongside just a few new upgrades for the present spells to maintain them aggressive).
New Stances
Including to that, a brand new Stance or two would even be nice. There might be a stance that allows Ruyi Jingu Bang to turn into a lot bigger for far more devastating assaults with unbelievable vary. One other may give attention to innate parrying and counter-attacking, maybe at the price of mobility and dodging. It’s all about increasing on the participant’s selection whereas fulfilling the facility fantasies related to Wukong. As soon as once more, getting some new upgrades and talents for the present stances would even be appreciated.
Parrying and Blocking on Particular Weapons
After all, another choice is so as to add new staves with devoted parrying and blocking techniques. Not solely may this feed into a possible new stance, however even potential new armor decisions, with particular results triggering based mostly on profitable parries. Whether or not Sport Science would go down this route stays to be seen, however it will nonetheless open up intensive protection choices.
Boss Rush
Given all of the boss rush analogies earlier than launch (which turned out to be false), it appears solely becoming {that a} mode for a similar ought to arrive sooner or later. It might be separated into totally different tiers, with gamers combating one after one other, testing their mettle and going the space. There might be customizable difficulties for individuals who need an extra problem and even the choice to problem any bosses in any order.
Boss Rematch
Alternatively, having the choice to rematch in opposition to a single boss wouldn’t be too shabby. Possibly a participant loved a specific battle and desires to re-experience or farm some XP and Will, offering a respectable methodology. Regardless, given how spectacular a number of the fights are, it solely is smart to wish to face them once more.
The Enviornment
If there’s a hack-and-slash motion RPG available, then an area should observe, the place you’ll be able to tackle wave after wave of enemies and see how lengthy you’ll be able to endure. Each ten waves may throw in a singular boss with particular rewards, although there may also be a factors system to redeem for supplies, armor units, and extra. You may even add rogue-lite modifiers to spice issues up between waves, like triggering sure buffs, mixing up enemy assaults, and so forth.
Greater Zones to Discover
We’ve seen the sorts of environments that Sport Science has to supply, and whereas they begin to broaden after the primary few chapters, the enlargement may go even greater. It doesn’t must undertake an open-world strategy – simply providing extra intricate pathways and hidden areas, extra complicated puzzles, and some extra different fight situations would go a good distance in direction of making it a recent expertise over the bottom sport.
Extra Intricate Platforming
You possibly can add platforming to that as properly as a result of there isn’t a lot to talk of proper now. It may even turn into a chance to broaden on vertical exploration, with gamers having to leap, climb, and extra to entry sure locations. Take just a few cues from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s vertical design – although not that many, as a result of let’s be actual – and provides gamers an opportunity to actually dig by the world’s secrets and techniques.
Extra Difficulties and Problem Choices
All this speak of further challenges solely reinforces that Black Fantasy: Wukong wants tougher issue choices. The enlargement may strategy this with modifiers, permitting gamers to customise enemy and boss injury, add new strikes for bosses, or add different debuffs like decrease injury. It is also one thing so simple as Sekiro’s Demon Bell, which makes the whole lot tougher by default and which might be disposed of if issues get too intense.
Wukong’s Voice
If the enlargement follows the true ending of the bottom sport, it will make sense to have the protagonist absolutely voiced all through. With how good the voice appearing for Wukong is within the opening, it’d be a disgrace to not have that once more. Think about venturing by new zones or interacting with characters and listening to his quips.
Much less Invisible Partitions
It’s unlikely that Sport Science will utterly eliminate the invisible partitions. Nonetheless, having fewer of them, particularly if the enlargement’s environments might be extra open, can be the proper play. Even within the base sport, the place we all know there isn’t a lot to discover past particular factors, it’d be good to have extra freedom when venturing by and never really feel so constrained to the designated paths.
