The Crown of Wu

The Crown of Wu is a game with a rather clichéd story, but it works. Our character's ambitions and internal struggles are well-developed, but they get lost in a poorly told and unclear story that we can only piece together bit by bit.

The Crown of Wu has a lot of problems and most of it is due to the complexity of the concept that a small team was unable to realize. Some aspects would have been more effective if they were simplified, like the combat and magic systems. The platforming is hopelessly underdeveloped and the character design needs a drastic overhaul to be more appealing.

With thoroughly inconsistent combat and painful platforming, The Crown of Wu has earned itself the unfortunate and distinctive demerit of being the worst video game based on the Journey to the West.

The Crown of Wu is a "cyberpunk" style attempt at the events of Journey to the West, with a Soulslike combat system which, however, fails completely on its protagonist.

The Crown of Wu isn't the first or the last Journey to the West game adaptation, so there's no need to play it only for the historical value. Unfortunately, the lack of visual polishment and the sluggish movement broke what could have been a fun and fair reproduction of a literary classic.

The Crown of Wu is an adequate game, but it doesn’t offer anything particularly new or different. It’s a game that may be worth getting if you’re really into 3D soulslike games and you’ve been having some trouble finding new ones worth playing. Otherwise, this is not a game that can be particularly recommended.

Although The Crown of Wu manages to be entertaining thanks to its pace and variety, it has many rough edges at the gameplay level that prevent it from reaching higher levels of quality.

The Crown of Wu has a great sense of adventure that doesn't quite shine because of a gameplay that lacks finesse.

A new sample of game in which it is seen that there is desire, but there is a lot to polish and redesign. The competition is too fierce in the genre to stand out.

The Crown of Wu offers us a trip to a futuristic reinvented China where myths and tradition have evolved along with technology, resulting in a rather interesting conglomerate. An entertaining adventure in which we will help Wu, the emperor's former herald, on his redemption journey to stop Zhu, the villain on duty. A curious mix that results in a Playstation Talents that, despite being sparing in action, is very fun to play and will make us rack our brains solving the odd puzzle that it has. An adventure that will entertain us during the almost 7 hours that it lasts.
