Good price if you want the game now. Need to select USD to get this price. It is bit more if you select to pay in AUD.
The game is designed well so that if you get stuck there are usually different ways to overcome the challenge. Although they don't guide you or tell you that with a quest marker or waypoint and you have to figure it for yourself or look it up similar to older classic games.
S/he won’t play it since stream watched. Your tips are good for the ones who will play it and got stuck. I got platinum trophy on PS. Awesome game GOTY to me.
Is the game punishing? If I lose in a boss fight, would I get sent back quite a bit like dark souls? Or do I get sent back just before a boss fight like stellar blade?
@nmc4911: Sounds good. I hear from people that it's difficult and got a habit scared from buying it. Personally, no issue progressing if there are no punishment, but if I have to clear enemies and trek back to the boss, I'm quite likely to drop the game after tilting quite a few consecutive losses
lol buddy sub $20, have some respect for yourself .
I’m half way through and it isn’t that hard so far. Some bosses take a few goes but I’m actually finding it very well tuned. Only a couple of bosses have really taken a while for me to beat - so far. I find it easier than Fromsoft games.
Fantastic game though.
Just took me three days to pass one boss (White clad noble / Serpent) on the first level (penultimate boss). I have sworn to stop playing the game but keeps me trying to pass that damn part.
Is it very hard? Yes.
You really really need to learn to time the rolls/evades and button mash the combos to play it well.
Never played souls like or god of war ARPG games before. i was about to quit 20mins into the game against the big head baby boss trying for like 2hr+ thinking his the 1st boss of the game, didn't know you can respec and try different builds. there has been a few bosses like that in the game but i'm at chapter 6 now majority of the fights later on as your skill improves and knowing how the game mechanics work becomes quite easy.
This game is much easier than elden ring or Sekiro
I managed to get it from Taobao for sub $50 (¥235). The catch is that you would be required to be switch Steam store to China and there're not many ways to pay unless you have family or friends in China - for both Taobao and Steam China, using Wepay or Alipay. Switching region has its own costs too (i paid for a ¥4.5 game).
Do note region hopping is against steam TOS usually first time they just revert you, but repeated region hopping can get you banned
Yup. I'm aware. First time and plan to stick with the China region. Maybe I'm lucky, so far so good.
Any concerns that you won't get the same global Steam experience by using Steam China e.g. censorship for certain games? Or blocked completely in mainland China again?
@Lucille Bluth: There’s no feminist propaganda in the China one. Nor trigger words such as ‘quarantine’ or ‘isolation’ or ‘Covid-19’.
@Lucille Bluth: So far haven't noticed any censorship in games while using it on an Australia IP address.
@Lucille Bluth: This game was based on the Chinese story from the Ming dynasty and also fully developed in China? The censorship is none of concern, just that some foreign reviewers criticising for feminism is kinda joke, they\ completely lack of understanding of the story, the game or even the feminism itself.
This game was based on the Chinese story from the Ming dynasty
Are you sure it was the Ming Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty?
Taobao has region switch service for 6 cny, which includes the Chinese region game fee.
there have been reports for banning and also some can’t switch back to AU
To be honest, I'm not planning to switch back to AU. It works for me this way and I read Chinese and can access CNY
Its not about the change back to AU, but if you live in AU and use CN store continuously Steam can ban you for that
@dione: That is not true. Im using an overseas store for many years now and can pay in local currency.

Only completed chapter 2 and already feeling so tired. Soul like game is not for me, this game literally boss after boss fighting, also you can’t adjust difficulty level, way too hard
Use Wemod…
You can download a save that has NG+ and play from the start of the game from there, it is a lot easier because you get an extra revive on death and already have levels, skills and equipment. 80% of the fun in my opinion is working towards higher level and getting new gear upgrades while figuring out what skills, combos, equipments work well with your own playstyle but this might not interest you.
There will be mods that decrease difficulty for sure.
Unfortunately I play it on PS 5 and there is no option to decrease difficulty, I now stuck in chapter 3
True, will need to spend more time doing the optional side quest/secret areas until you level up a bit more imo or be able to change your build a bit more with new equipment.
How?
Like “journey to the west” story. boss fight after boss fight. 81 to be exact. Tripitaka keeps trying to make you fight with 1 hand behind your back
Must be one of the 10 people left on "Concord"? lol
cool story
So true, the story and setting for dustborn is so much better
I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far in Australia.
Try Chinese language posts
Thanks CCP paid my Centrelink and Medicare
Yes aussies will be happy to bend over backwards as long as they can have some $$$ lol
GOTY
It's a good game, finished the game in two weeks, played wayyyy too much, was pretty much work, sleep, monke!
100% recommend as a couple game, my partner clears the map and does the collection and the mini bosses, and I just need to focus on the main bosses
What a partnership.
…and then later on at night, when the sun goes down and they retire from the battlefield. The true magic happens
Making this game very difficult to play is beyond me, from my experience after watching Dicky Cheung 's acting as Wu Kong in Journey to the West. Wu Kong the character itself made it so easy to defeat enemies.
Spoiler alert, the character you are playing in this game is not Wu Kong.
It's Monke
It kinda is though.. but not exactly at the beginning..
I’d suggest this game is about 20% easier to play than the elden ring
The graphics of this game are beautiful. I completed chapter 2 in 15 hours.
is it cracked yet, allegedly there is a fit girl who cracks these usually
it is denuvo protected. no hope
is that some new anti cracking 2024 solution
FitGirl is a repacker (not a cracker).
The actual cracker is EMPRESS. She is the only one who has ever cracked Denuvo.
That was ages ago, Denice has developed massively since. Empress went to jail and done with it.
Oh interesting. Haven't kept up with the latest news
Fitgirl doesn't crack games. only compress it and repacks.
the real crackers are Empress, Tenoke, CPY, Codex, Skidrow, Reloaded and many others.
Any recommendations for a compatible gaming laptop? TIA
Good Game, Good Price!
Thanks, bought 1.

It looks like a very hard game to play and beat in which I don't have the patience to persevere nowadays. Think I'll give it a miss and just watch some Youtube gameplays. Good post though.
