What would YOU rate Wuthering Waves?
8.5 for me
9 for me

8.5 ..its good better than....
9/10, the bugs and slightly off lip sync slightly ruins the immersion. My fav gacha currently tho❤
6:17 240/240 stamina
That's a warcrime.
I hadn’t done my dailies yet lmao
aaahhh, is self-harming a crime tho?..
😂
@@Stixxy can refresh waveplates isnt it? kek
That's a setback right thereee
9/10 for nothing is perfect, and I feel more confident supporting these developers.
Yeah Kuro is a pretty good dev! I’ve worked with them plenty of times!
@@Stixxy Worked with them? Damn thats sick. On specific game?
@@kuro.editzzz he probably talked about his review contents
@@Stixxy what.... tell us about this stix. Maybe 1 video is enough. Lmao😅
@@kuro.editzzz yah he probably meant game reviewing or covering official news and sponsors not actual game development haha
I'd love to give it a 9/10 but not yet, I'll give WuWa 7/10 for now as it can improve even further, Kuro can still cook more. I need to see WuWa reach it's first anniversary first and see what Kuro was able to do in a year.
Perfectly understandable! What do you enjoy most about it?
@@Stixxy definitely combat, specially after Holo Crownless added, and Changli and Jinhsi both out now we are slowly going into DMC territory of combat lmao.
Imagine just like PGR, they gave past limited character selector for anniversary. That would be insane, and might cause some ruckus on some certain community.
Same, I need to see if the anniversary rewards are just as trash as Genshin 😭
its honestly my favorite gacha right now. 8/10 as i feel things could be improved with echo farming and mats. Maybe make bosses take 40 energy rather than 60 lol
What do you enjoy most about it?
‘Genshin is not a cash grab’ is a mountain of cope and this is coming from a day 1 Genshin player
@@akirayagami4226pity is 80 in wuthering waves, confirmed weapon on weapon banner, gives out a extremely generous amount of rewards, and daily’s give 100 astrite each, and resin is 240, if ur talking about cash grab then ur completely biased to genshin, it’s true that genshin does stuff better but this just isn’t it 💀
@@akirayagami4226 -_-
@@akirayagami4226 What Hoyo bot you are? 😂
Been playing genshin for 4 yrs now. I have switched to WuWa as my main game over genshin. When the producers of a game dont care about users feedback then its a sign for me to switch asap. WuWa definitely is a 9/10 for me... Kuro has been nothing but generous for me
It’s understandable that not every player’s feedback is worth considering especially the feedback from americans because of woke culture that are completely weird and detach from reality outside of the west like the petition to blackwash the pure fictional natlan character
@@portable5753most of the feedbacks is for qol and endgame content for their c6r5 chars.even adding the SKIP BUTTON that they won't do, because you want to skip the story that you don't give a fk.
@@portable5753 I don't live in the west and neither I'm woke. I don't care about this 'representation' related feedback. I'm pretty sure adding a skip button in the dialogue is not considered woke which I feel is needed in genshin. I don't want to spend hours doing boring story quests in order to farm primos that's not enough for even a single pull. Let's face the reality, if genshin hadn't launched in COVID times then it wouldn't even be half as popular as it is right now.
Genshin is an amazing game, but it also gave me the worst experience and treatment ever..the game itself is good, the devs are just pure garbage..
@@portable5753they Took some real life gods that Are black and Made Them white but i‘m Not gonna Argue with you
9/10 waiting for their later patch improvements. I really love it so much. I love characters design, animation and cinematic. Wuwa is now my favorite one.
Glad to hear it! I love the game as well!!
@akirayagami4226 Breath of the Wild: Well..? also Genshin 😂
@@akirayagami4226I also stole your mom's virginity before she met you dad.
6:23 Exactly! In WuWa "The Women are actually Women, and the Men are actually Men" SO TRUE!❤
Unlike the other Gacha Games that looks good Only on Twitter when redrawn or in their Cinematic Trailers, but once you play them it feels like a scam because they look so different in-game. They have Noodle Arms and Big Heads than their body proportion that makes them look like kids and it feels and looks so weird.
Yup. Gotta love that they made real-looking characters.
Ayoooooo don't do Itto like that man....
Only Genshin is like that I think, some other games including those made by Hoyovers look better for 3D character design, I think the Dev team of Genshin is very lazy on that issue.
The characters are alright, but they all use the same character model. They have the generic woman model, the generic man model and the generic child model. I’m sure wuwa isn’t the only ones to do this but it stands out so badly because apparently all women in wuwa have massive flopping breasts Waiting to see if we get a different character model anytime soon 💪
@@histambarawas-tw7nd funny thing the eremites woman enemy have better propotion than the playable lol
Man I just wish they reduce the tacet field cost to 40. While in my personal opinion, the game is 7.5/10.
Yeah and genshin for me is 3/10
@@TonytonyChopper-wf5cqLOL you just had to bring genshin in 😂
The tacet field actually yields more than the condensed resin in Genshin. It just feels worse cause it's not 40.
What I want them to do is increase the EXP levelling materials.
Making it 60 makes the daily grind smoother.
@@theeffortless5554 I just love shxttng on genshin 😛
@@hijodelsoldeoriente what's the point of more reward when said reward is a$$? Drop one more light element set with wind damage bonus?
The new Co-op update mode in 1.2 is gonna be huge. Gonna start looking for friends now , 😅
Oooo more co-op is always good!
WuWa need 3man dungeons.
@@zealgaming8161 I liked this idea....Hope that this will come true one day.
That's the true end game now...... looking for friends 😅
Very hard to make friends in Wuwu. I just didnt want to start joining random player games.. Because you could be interupting them. and doing the 1m min wepaon farming mat coop, they leave right after.. I really wish there was an area like what Monster hunter had. pub of some sort to see other players... Its what I requested for Genshin back in the day too.
8/10
That focken upgrade mat farming, especially for Echoes, is HELL
I know man! Damn! Haha
@@Stixxy We need to push the idea to add a hotkey to lock echoes. Its a nightmare clicking left and right of the screen when you want to lock echoes for the great echo culling.
Still better than disk farming in Zzz lol
yeajh, it's the one thing i think is terrible in the game.
Either give us the ability to choose one substat or give more materials.
@@ThomasAndy-qu8dp a substat selector or reroller would be nice. Its actually leaked but not sure when or what it even is (could be substat selector,reroller or maybe mainstat).
For a long time i have been looking for someone who would provide me accurate information about all new and old gacha games and then I found you I have watched some of your vides and saw that everything you say is logical. You are my gachaa game messiah. You deserve the subs, you deserve to grow big so continue the good work. Thank you.

That’s a solid score! What do you enjoy most about it?
Well the side story are kind of boring. (I fell asleep in changli story idk why). But jinshi story is not bad, also jue reveal about our mc also not bad. I think you just need to let the story grow, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Wuwa only 1.1. in term of update it's only prologue. For that I can say wuwa story is not bad. You can compare it with genshin, how good is genshin story in 1.1? I don't even remember.
i like the gacha system score
@@kharis9120 Nah bro Changli Story is also good one, both Story and Cutscene
Also reveal few secrets about Rover like they're
Really Old and literally still have memory like few decades ago before going into Doktah Route (amnesia)
The music isn't that orchestra thingy and still slaps hard, all of them fit in every scenery or combat
In most respects WW is a fine game, even if a lot of it felt very 'been there, done that.' But what drove me away was the poor writing, storytelling, and voice acting. People kept saying the story 'gets better', but I really didn't find that so. I had so many issues all the way through chapter 6. If I'm going to play a game for an extended period of time, I need to care about the world and characters, I need to feel a desire to see what happens next. WW failed to do that for me. If you are able to overlook the flaws and have fun in WW - that's great, I'm happy for you. I even recommend people give it a try and judge for themselves. I tried it and... it just wasn't for me.
100%. Not every game is for every person! That's part of having your own likes and dislikes!
Considering how the game intro had a huge rewrite in the intro it really felt rushed and very off, as if even we're expected to know chixia and yangyang. The original story had the characters be suspicious to the MC, but the CH gamers didnt like it so they changes it, a lot.
Although, it really DID get better at the end of chapter 7 where MC gets a more clear answer for what they are. That part is especially rare in gacha games. In other gacha games it can take up to 4 years and more to discover what the amnesiac or special MC role in the world.
But in wuwa it took only a 1.1 update to get to there. With the mentions of other regions it really is something to be excited about.
One thing they still need to do, explain what the heck wuwa world is, they expect us to know what happened to the world already and it kinda ticks me off. But at the same time i'm excited for whats next
the reason the story is ___ is because ( i’m 2 lazy to write it so ima jus bring my paragraph from another vid )
found it : “(i know this isn’t relevant at all ) almost all cn players only complain they robbed us of such a great storyline because their pride can’t take characters not liking them right away ( im talking about the wuwa beta tests ) look them up they were just amazing and actually made sense (it’s a post apocalyptic world why the h4’l are they trusting a random guy/girl that came out of nowhere and did something that was seemingly impossible) also danjins personality was just peak i mean the story’s good ( not the first part ) and now they are saying that changli’s gameplay is “ToO HaRD” as a professional button smasher i can say that she is NOT hard rather id say she’s actually helping more players get out of their comfort zone ( button smashing ) thank you for coming to my ted talk 🧍♀️”
there’s another one but i couldn’t find it
me already retired, no more gacha all just same mechanic gameplay feels tired all just leveling over and over again even event just battle and boring in the end
Dude, this game is well beyond "Taking inspiration" from Genshin impact. It's about as close to a 1 for 1 clone of the game with the only differences being general combat and stamina mechanics. Even the first exploration zone update was a snowy mountain biome.
Caption definitely got me, lol.
Aside from latency issuses on laptops & mobile phones, the experience has been really good so far. I'm not really sure if that's only in Asia but they definitely need to address attack, parry and dodges being delayed or not registering at all.
Personally don't mind the slow start of the story because it's basically a norm in Gacha genre nowadays.
That being said, we've seen through highs and lows in the past 2 months and personally it's a solid 8.5.
that puzzle around 10 mins in had me screaming at my screen lmao
LMAO I GOT IT THOUGH
8.5/10 I wish I can change clothes of female rover, it looks ugly to me but I like her hairs and face. Some parts of main story is boring but I luv the cinematics SO MUCH. There are so many things I luv such as char designs, ABBY, new area with beautiful music, combat systems and so much more. As a pokemon lover, hope they add more shiny echoes too, and interactions with them if possible 😂 Most importantly, its made by a hard-working and caring about players company, Kuro.

@@LeRouxMashinrou I don’t feel they make sense
I am gonna be honest too because I dgaf anymore since burning out on Genshin: Wuwa is not much better too after 2 months. Echo droprate with correct stat is abysmal same goes for substats that are needed. This game the characters are SO so much more reliant on the correct weapon it's unreal and past level 70 everything is constant dps check time and I am sorry it's just not enjoyable like that. How come in any other game a refined 3 star weapon is still better for atleast a few months than a 4 star? But in wuwa it's so blatant a singl e unrefined 4 star is already way better than r5 leveled 3 star which really should not be the case right now. The battlepass is the most terrible battlepass I have ever seen with absolute trash rewards. And everything is so credit hungry as well leveling talents and cooking. My biggest problem with the game is the long time for the optimization issues. Having to play for 2 months now with broken input on pc and mobile where the mouse pointer goes upward every other minute is actually a legit reason to outright quit the game. That is unacceptable for this to go on for so long and then the only thing to offer is for players to change config file eventhough that goes against tos but was the only real way to reduce loading times and have some form of optimization? Come on man. That is some nonsense.
This and genshin can never be main game. Treat them as side game.
This is probably the most complete review I have seen, I personally rate it 7.2, since I have not explored the new area, between work, playing 5 gachas at the same time, and now having a try at youtube, it has been quite challenging to actually be up to date on any game, it also doesn't help that I'm horrible at time management. 😭
Thank you! I appreciate that!! Good luck with CZcams, if you ever need any advice, feel free to reach out on discord!
@@Stixxy Thanks! Watching your videos gives me a lot of inspiration, I have been watching your videos for like 5 or 6 years now, so I tried doing a review on wuwa and other games but after I watch your videos I always realize I could have added so much more information and I could have been so much more entertaining.
I feel the same way watching other people! We’re always our own worst critics!
Wuthering Waves is currently at 8/10 for me.
Minor criticisms:
- Echo Exp is a problem.
- Music is mid (CBT music was better)
- Need better 4 star weapons.
Major critcisms:
- There are a lot of muted colors other than black. Hopefully they use less of it in future character designs.
- English side needs more work.
- More support characters.
- Dormitory is A MUST(for the love of god, please)
- Server issues
Yeah that's pretty much it.
I have no idea what plans they have for new 4-star characters but I hope to see more of them alongside new 5-star ones soon. Also I agree with the muted colors, sure it might fit a post apocalyptic vibe it's also pretty unwelcoming. Hopefully it will be more of a region specific thing. Meanwhile I'm playing WuWa with a more vibrant color profile on my monitor, the game looks SOO much better that way lol.
Genshin still has WuWa beat with the atmosphere imo, but I can't go back to that mess, not with how much more enjoyable WuWa's gameplay is across the board.
Kuro means black, so of course all their characters will be wearing that color. :)
@@akirayagami4226 If we're talking about main story then yes. Other than that, No.
@@sola7078 Ehh... Vibrant colors doesn't fit WuWa's setting imo, I don't want it to look like GI. What I mean is that they should use other muted palettes other than black and grey. Teal was used on Jiyan and it looked pretty good.
@@absolutelyabsolute4671 Yeah no it doesn't fit to be as colorful as Genshin, personally I prefer some more vibrancy though. Otherwise it ends up looking a bit flat and lifeless to me.
But I'm one of those people who haven't played any Fallout games simply because of the grey and brown color palette.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a kidney buyer 😢, so no new character for me 😢😢😢❤❤❤😂😂😂
LMAO.. not yet anyway!
8/10. Also made a big booboo, requiring me to farm far more than ever.
Looking at my own mistake in-game(Ascension past Sol Phase3 w/o properly leveled characters) makes me sensible enough to learn how to play better. While underleveled(under powered summons, weapons and skills levels are low and other passives lock), I have enough to get around. Still able to kill at the upkeep, stable at 65+(having only lvl 60s) but dangerous at 70+.
Also saving much of the pulls at launch and looking at future releases(leaks) made up to go for Changli and her weapon which did not hurt. However, as F2P goes the game will not hurt unless the limited ones do not play the immediate powercreep.
My personal experience:
9/10
The game is very easy to progress through, im already UL 54 with only dailys (i still have about 45 of those 60 energy waveplates) and i have no more quests to finish
(This is the reason why i worry for this game on long term, its only the first version and so many people are already in the brink of going endgame)
The gacha system is very generous especially to new users. The weapon banner being guaranteed is very good, the character banner being the same as every gacha game so theres not much to say other than thank you for the weapon banner Kuro. This is really great because this game currently doesnt have much good 3-4star weapons, so much of the characters dmg potential is locked behind sig weapon.
Echo system people say its bad but getting echos are really easy, my only complaint about it is theres no solid place where we can get Echo EXP only, we have to do a tacet field or something for just three gold ones and it seems so tiresome to gather especially when each tacet field takes 60 waveplates.
But getting good stats isnt as painful as genshin (i dont know about other games, ive only played wuwa and genshin so those are the only two i can compare) it only took me about 5 days to have a properly built Yinlin from nothing
Events are meh, usually just fighting or quests.
Quests are fast with the skip button
Pulls are very easy to get but once you run out of quests and events + major things that gives you lots of money you have to scavage for them with chests and achievement (i lost Jinhsi 50/50 and had to scavage those chests for like 15 days straight to get her and sig weapon)
Exploration is fun, just the monster distribution seems unbalanced because some parts of the map have a lot of monsters while the rest doesnt have a single soul
I dont want to be "that guy" BUT...
Im my opinion PGR have better combat then WuWa. However, the starting characters gameplay in PGR is bad and that should be mentioned, they are also the only B-Rank characters in game (equivalent of 3*). Newer characters are always more fluid, with better animations, with better mechanics, and more fun to play, including A-Rank characters (equivalent of 4*).
In PGR there are CUBs (equivalent of Echos in WuWa), but unlike WuWa those CUBs have 2 main skills that can me switched between (for example one skill deal less damage but stun enemies and other one just deal huge damage) and every CUB have 5 passive effects that affect the character that wear it. CUBs that are dedicated for a specific character always have a passive effect that works in synergy with that specific character, for example, CUB cast itself when a dedicated character uses the Ultimate or a specific combo move.
In PGR there are Pings that works as skills. Every character have "Red", "Blue", "Yellow" skill. Depending if you "ping" 1 or 2 or 3 Ping of the same color, the effect will be diffrent as well as damage. On top of that 3-Pings are often used for combos that PGR characters have much more then WuWa characters (currently), and overall most characters in PGR (especially newer ones) are way more complex both in gameplay and combos while not being hard to play or to learn how to play them and use their mechanics.
I play both PGR and WuWa and i love both. Those two are my favorite gachas so far and I recommend trying them both.
(Also in PGR you can skip story until chapter 9/10, previous chapters are mid.)
Tbh 7.5/10. Its one of the best gachas i played but i had a lot of optimization problems. I kinda fixed it but still, without these problems easy 9/10.
unfortunately, with co-op, the joiner can only use 1 character... i wish they could let the joiner and the owner have 2 characters each
I love the game even I got trash luck in it 😭😭 But I do hope Kuro will build more interactions between characters other than just with the MC to make all of them more lively.
Oooo! I have trash luck as well lmao. What do you enjoy most about it?
Will always remember Mrs Stix laughing in background
LMAO CMON MAN
The first minute of you saying it's one of those "log in every day to keep up effective grind" games and I just don't wanna start. I just hate that so damn much, like I have to clock in every day for a game, like I'm responsible of remembering it every moment... eugh....
I would rate it overall 6/10
combat is 9/10 for sure
everything else are.. left something to be desired. Can't bring myself to log in everyday.
Truth is gachas suck and are designed to suck
Easily a 9/10. The combat, characters, cutscenes and attention to detail is one of the best i've seen in a gacha game. Great review of wuwa btw!
This had been the only gacha game that ive really gotten into and im honestly shocked to still be playing it almost every day. Im pretty sure im heading for a wall trying to upgrade all my chars to a reasonably functional level but as long as im having fun it will be ok.
Combat is 8/10, everything else is like a 4-5/10. A live service game's story is really important to me because it's the only thing new and continuously expands. Combat, no matter how good it is, will remain unchanged. Same mechanics down the line in years. There's literally no game that I have played for years on end just for the combat itself because it will get repetitive - hence, the story MUST be good and enticing to keep my dedication to the game.
Same as my review.
Optimisation and early story are my only gripe in wuwa. Everything else is the best of it's genre.
Thankfully I've had no performance issues!
13:22 is gold
Everyone keeps laughing at that lmao :
i cant give a number score because i totally bias.
all i can say is, kuro has a good reputation, and they are few developer i can put my trust on.
looking forward for what they cook for wuwa future, cheers
I get how everyone love that running is unlimited combat is more strategic but I feel my issue is another cliche “open land base game” and at some point it gets boring because EVERYONE does it, and not give a different approach like ZZZ is (not saying it’s better) but he gives a different feel of a urban city base game. Everything is more lively which you can do more while just taking up space running and climbing through mountains. Which is why I think if NTE becomes like a TOF and WuWa put together it will blow up quick, that if they take their time in development.
6:23 Actually, one of the things that keeps me on the game is how straightforward Kuro is on their ideals. The IoIis are kids and that's it.
No Hoyoverse b0IIshlt style of community with these double, triple standarded movements like "petite movement" "small adults movement" "body shaming" that ends up on them, ironically, Iewding some 11, 12 yr girls on their pretended models, even when they're kids, approving it. But guess what's funny? They trash talk the IoIis on smaller models, now magically the same arguments used on the others doesn't work.
Anyway, that's why I hate those pdfs in denial/petite movement, and why I loved the way Kuro did things, being the same way japanese people do things in animes since the beginning, that is stating characters in just two terms, "IoIis" and "non-IoIis".
lolicon = invalid opinion
@@utensilscleaner7071 Lol, there are many around there, you shouldn't be surprised at this point, especially in internet.

6:30 every resonator looks and feels unique -- proceeds to show sephiroth, the least unique character ever

Haha good choices!! What do you enjoy most about them?
@@Stixxy the combat is always satisfying for both games...
@@akirayagami4226 yeah at first and i used to spend money on it too.. but then genshin gave me the worst experience ever...took me more than a year to get decent artifacts just to get all stars in the abbyss.. And the way the devs treat the players suck..wake up kid ur the one being delusional..
@@akirayagami4226 Genshin has one of the most mediocre combat systems I have ever seen
The kid is in all comments saying stuff like this😅
God saving light is such a BANGER
I played both games, but I think Wuthering Waves is more enjoyable to play, the style, the combat, the environment and architecture, everything is designed brilliantly
I agree. I play both as well but I'm leaning more towards WuWa overall.
yes
What i love about the game, is thay it incorporates part of my favorite games. There's monsterous creatures and demons to hunt/slay (MonHun), and said monsters/demons can be captured and summoned witb thier own compendium (SMT, Pokémon), and you can fuse them into new ones (smt). Coupled eith the addicting movement and combat, interesting world and (hopefully better) voice acting. Yeah, this is dang near the beat mobile game. On the market. I just wish we had art cards, I'm a sucker for art care collectables.
I’ll say a 8.4/10
From my experience the devs(KURO) been nothing but positive for me and the community as a whole. They’re very generous and very quick to fix X* problem asap. If they can’t fix said problem asap, they’ll at least give us some sort of closure on knowing. That, they KNOW about said problem(s) and are looking into it to fix in the near future.
1:30 so true! 🔥 I keep saying this. WUWA's music is underrated. Glad others appreciate it too.
Heck yeah dude!! I love the music!
Best sound design imo.
Heck, sometimes I just launch the game and leave it be just for the sound
@@MochiFeelings and some parts of the game seem to be purposely toned down because "tacet" means "empty", its basically Kuro's view of wuwa's world. So I think we should analyze their music and sound design with that in mind
@@Gheniel_ I mean. It's kinda part of the setting and lore. A devastated world and all that. It's only fitting.
@@MochiFeelingsyh wuwa got nominated for game of the year mobile.
And best sound design
7 for now, is good but ppl like to be fanboys and overreact, it lacks of content unfortunately, also echoes upgrading is hell. They have room for improvement tho
And the distribution of which pair of echoe types for each tacet field honestly infuriates me. Why not just one type for each!?
Well when you think about it. Echoes can be shared between characters and with the BiS sub-stats generally being shared for all DPS's (Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Atk%, Flat Atk & Energy Regen), you only realistically need 6 echo sets and you're done building them. Unless they add more sets that end up powercreeping the main 6 element ones, you're pretty much done with Echoes forever. Support sets add another 2, but don't require as much investment and no reason to do Lingering Tunes if you have all 6 elements covered.
I like how they reward skilled player or player with good investment on their account.
My only complains were not enough echo mats, but with all those events and tower, hologram shop I'm overflowing with tuners, tho I do run out of echo exp mats but I was already done with my full clear tower team in first week of 1.1
9/10 for a gacha game
I just want them to add more co-op stuff that I can do with friends, genshin never really added anything outside of weekly bosses or dungeon run(where you never really even need too) and I hope WuWa makes some for us to play with.
For me WuWa is close to a 9/10 for a gacha game, the story is nice specially around the end of 1.0+, the characters are memorable and I love their high tier design even the 4star ones.
Hell nah 2 mins on the video and I already disagree lol No way the Intro music is the best you've ever heard on any gacha games, music sounds like generic Snowbreak/ Nikke music.
I just hope the story from CBT1 will come back. It feels more fitting with the world setting.
They already rewrote the script, now rewrite again? They can't just do that lol, I think they'll continue with the current (official) story
I do not wish for a storyline alteration, but I do desire significant changes in cutscenes and direction. For example, as the introduction of HI3 was rewritten...
dude, you have to seriously play the new story, its amazingly awesome
Well CN community won’t allowed that because they hated it
8.5/10 for me.
When doing a perfect dodge but still takes damage feels terrible hope kuro will fix that problem
Haha, good score! What do you enjoy most about it?
7.5/10 as much as I like the Kuro games, it could be better in forgery realm especially for level 60 and above was to abandoned the green level materials towards level 50 and below and increased the rewards especially its hassle to upgrade them when you are in the far places like tacet fields or overlord territory and doint want to wait the loading screen, I don't care about the cost in tacet field I just want more reward from especially if your world level was 5 and more, the overworld drops should also increase per world level like star drops or the rings and even the mask from Fractsidus mobs
8/10. It's my fave game, but I personally think kuro needs to rebalance the waveplate costs in each of the content. It doesn't make sense to me that tacet fields and normal bosses cost just as much as weekly bosses. Another thing, the yield of tacet fields doesn't feel worth the waveplate cost comparing it to even normal bosses. That being said tho, I LOVE the combat, I love the character animations, the devs are generous, and they listen to their players. If anything, knowing how they run PGR, I have high hopes for Wuwa in terms of its longevity. I can see more endgame content added to wuwa in the future.
9/10, The game isnt perfect but what game is? Wuwa does a LOT of things right and its trying to fix its weakest areas such as voice acting. Echo farming could be better, I think in 1 day we should be able to max level 3-4 echoes, considering we have a lot of rng with substats. Overall Kuro has done an amazing game and I only hope they can make the game better!
the time i finally learned QS and saw my 3 main characters in 1 frame feels really good made me more addicted to wuwa i felt like 8.5/10 is my rating.
Hastag ad:
Really though imo the game disappointed me. Less so because of the game its self but more from the players. The amount of hype and lies said around this game before release and after release by people who clearly were not interested in the game just wanting other games in the genre to fail it has not even come close to what people claimed this game would be.
People promised amazing endgame.... It has tower and nothing else. Just like genshin 1 single end game mode that resets once every 2 weeks and takes 15 minutes to clear. "huge amounts of endgame btw"
People claimed echo farming was such a fun and amazing mechanic a collection type mechanic. That was true... For the first week of the game. Not only did it become boring after that because it was just the same mobs over and over but they even nerfed the fun of new areas by making it instant gold echo first try so when we get new areas and new mobs you just kill 1 and done collected thats real fun for a collection minigame 1 and done nice thanks.
The amount of materials you get for upgrading characters weapons echos and silver is ludicrously bad. Someone who is AR 60 atm spent every free stamina item they have given I still struggle to max even 5 oh my characters not even a full tower set up nearly 2 patches into the game. It is so clearly made to force you to spend on stamina refills and yes I know after a year or so mats will not be an issue like all gacha but what would of stopped that need to force spend to even max a single team? Stamina overflow. Oh wait they just so happened to purposely not add that into the game for the start where stamina will be most needed in the entire games lifespan. Gee I wonder why *cough money*
Also don't know what crack people are smoking calling these people the most generous company in gacha. The event rewards are omega dogshit. The amount of rolls we have got in patch 1.1 is average and below average to other gachas respective roll counts. People got some sort of stockholm syndrome with kuro I swear. Throw a bunch of apolo rolls at launch at people and they will continue saying the game is generous forever even when the next patch that has a new area with exploration gems still gives a crazy low amount.
WuWa has 100% been a good game fun to play enjoyed it and will continue enjoying it but much like the genshin community ruin that game hard the WuWa community are on equal footing for destroying this game. I forgot who made this saying up but it fits this community perfectly. "toxic positivity" People will over praise this game to death for it doing literally nothing. The lack of content is also really alarming. They put out an entire new area and there is still nothing to do. What is the game going to be like in patches without a new area? Every single event from launch has been a 30 second to 2 minute a day completion. Zero large patch events no meat to the events and no end game... There is a reason the player count for this game is low and that is zero content not because the game it's self is bad or shouldn't be played. They really need to work hard on giving players something to actually do. Those few super whales wont carry your game forever. You need casuals too and if no one talks about or plays your game the whales get bored and leave simple.
Found a common hoyo dog doomposting about wuwa
where is 1.1 free pulls, you put all of them in ur butt or something?
The people have really set their bar very low because of genshin. They thinking the 1.1 rewards was generous.
It is by far more generous than genshin was in its 4 year but definitely not the most generous gacha game.
Honestly the fanboys overreacted but it ends up being another half developed game modern companies are releasing.
The story is bad. Ost is OK,not PGR level. Performance is bad and lacks content. Endgame is nothing interesting. Lore is tightly sealed.
@@HhtggTggfghg Your profile is literally a bot profile. What does that say about the very few who still play wuwa lol
Gawd damn dude haven't go deep in the tower yet n already put down a loan for changli
Man of culture indeed glad i sub
LMAO fellow man of culture! High-five!!
Hope they’ll allow us to scrap unwanted echos for xp materials
9.5/10
Love this game sm. The characters design, the combat, the animations and story cinematics, everything is peak. The only thing I need them to fix is Echo EXP it's a real pain in the ass
i hope in the future they come up with a canonical name for the Rovers
Combat -10/10, Really fun combat systems and combos
Story-3/10 , its good thing they added a skip button for people who dont like story, but i respect story and play through it anyway ..... It was not fun, except for few moments,like when rover was acting hurt after battle with crownless or last battle with dreamless.
Animations- 8/10 Animations are really fluid and fun in combat and exploration ...a shame i have to use phone to play it since my pc keeps lagging
Music-4/10, it aint worst, but i got spoiled by hoyo banger music so it feels annoying.
Exploration 3/10 .... It isn't fun, sure wall running can feel like it saves time and all but actual exploring and puzzles are just not fun to do ..... They are either braindead easy or total rng with no player control.... Hoping that they change this in future.
Characters: 6/10 some are hit some are miss like jinhsi chmagli, rover, jiyan are very good whereas yinlin, mortefi, alato, baizi are staright up bad ..... Yangyang and chixia and some others are ok.
Designs- 5/10 hit or miss, mortefi literally looks like npc, yangyang's design is good for most part but one look at her arms and she goes from 8/10 to 2/10, and i hate the jiggle physics in this game ....its like they arent even part of body anymore but seperate organism......and just to clarify i dont have anything against jiggle physics but they take too far. Many designs are good and many are straight up bad.
Gacha system 10/10 ...they really cooked with this one.
Rewards-10/10 never knew devs could be this generous.
Qol- 7/10.
I'd rate it around 6 or 7 Maybe I'm too harsh to rate it this much only lol.
>>Combat: 8 - Feels fluid and flashy plus pretty intuative but I don't think it's that much different than most hack-and-slash type combat.
>>Graphics: 7 - Art direction is Okay-ish(Especially on the 1.0 areas Mt.Firmament is actually pretty good)? Definitely has more fidelity than Genshin, map design on the first areas is kinda oof, it doesn't feel as connected and it's hard to recognize areas on the map and how they connect. Plus a lot of the Bandit Outpost looks generic af similar to Tower of Fantasy in a way.
>>Characters: 7 - Not really that much fan of the rover design honestly but I admit all the other characters actually look very appealing(Danjin and Jinshi especially). Characterization wise they're kinda mixed with bad(absolutely hate Lingyang btw) to decent.
>>Story: 5 - Oh god the first patch was horrendous, I've seen some of the older Beta cutscenes and I kinda get what they were going for there so I find it very disappointing on what we eventually got here, 1.1 was decent but I don't think it's anywhere amazing. I feel like the world building needs a bit more work to make me more invested.
>>Exploration: ? - I don't really care about this on any game so I don't think I can give a decent rating for this, hot take: I don't think it's that much better than Genshin.
>>Music & Sound: 6 - Holy fk this is the part I feel the most disappointed about, idk how you come from PGR to Wuwa not carrying over the great music that game had 1.1 was better but still far from what they had on their previous game.
>>Gacha and Gacha systems: 6
- I'm a little bitter about the gacha because among my friend group I'm the only person who has only ONE limited character my beloved Jinhsi, that I had to fking pity same goes with her weapon(I absolutely hate the
Overall i`ll give it a 9/10 ,there are some things that needs to be a bit nerfed like the cost of bosses but yea overall the game is legit a banger and also KURO WE NEED THOSE TRAILER OSTS IN GAME PLEASE .
Note how damaging the enemies are between 16:18 ~ 16:31 despite Jiyan's level and the fact that Wuthering Waves' DEF growth is so damn high (and if you paid attention to Stix's Jiyan, his Echoes rolled a high DEF%, a couple of flat DEFs and several HPs). That's one of the aspects that make dodging essential in WW.
Am IK45 I had to uninstall ZZZ today, i was really getting frustrated with the HP sponge of the bosses and constant pausing during TVs, and i find myself dreading to login everyday. The novelty of combat and flashy animations fell off for me real hard.
i really dont understand people complain about echo farming at least it's free unlike other games were you have to use energy.
game is solid 9/10 but i'd love to see more events / game modes
I don't know if it's just me, but I completed most of exploration, maxxed out all the cooking and synthetic levels, finished most of the quests, and now I can't find a consistent way to get enough Astrites besides daily quest, limited events, and ToA. Kinda feel burned out. PGR on the other hand has challenges that refreshes every week and gives generous amount. ToA gives a good amount, but it takes two weeks for a refresh.
becouse there none, for f2p earning currency is f bs, you will need to hoard one years to get guaranteed...
M I the only one enjoying English yangyang voice lol my sis had a friend who was monotonous even in the midst of danger or when she sad and crying 😂
Nah i enjoy listening to her English voice it doesn't bother me much, at least she improved in 1.1
the story quest specially in 1.1 is really good, you don't have to do the main quest 3-4 hours
the downside is playing in mobile is a mess :(
For now 9/10😁if they add more event, add good support healer character, add more resources about echos really grind hard specially exp echos😭 reduce energy taced field, and do collab event(example collab with PGR)❤then I'll give rate 10/10🤝🏻
Dunno if it was exagerated for a joke but to clarify, the weapon description was wrong only in JP, the players got some astrites and a 10 pull, there was a private leak (someone used the wrong CC on a mail and some of the affected players got a mail with around 200 mails of other affected players), the players who asked for the refund got it and got to keep the weapon if I'm not wrong and they got a gift card for the mail leak.
The character selector was in response to the rough launch and due to some people complaining (fair complain tho) about not being able to go up to the 40 pulls on the discounted convene if they got an early 5*
Wuthering Waves sets high standards for games in similar genres as well as different ones
Id like to see the waveplate activities cost be reduced by 20 universally, reduce the money cost of skills and weapon leveling by like half and be able to use the echo augment materials to reroll substats. Game would be pretty close to a 10/10 for me if those changes were made
Looking at Changli....from a LEGAL distance.
Wuwa is a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. Better game than zzz. Zzz shills can cry how much they want about the truth
I do like the echoes farming.. cuz u can farm certain set whenever u like without cost a single energy through the open world. So u can farm like one month early for leaked character u wanna pull. I would give it 8/10. Well kuro still a new small company so it pretty much understandable for the harsh launch and etc but the fact they listening to the community is a very good sign for future improvement
9/10 becuz I know it will get even better after patches. However, it reset my bar really high and made other gacha games not even close to 8/10.
yes finally this series is having a comeback make more of this
....
I will be. Snowbreak is next, then ZZZ, then Blue Archive! One game every week or two. Need enough time between them to play the games!
Day 1 player here .. No regrets in playing this game .. May waifus are now happy, Taoqi & Changli .. 10/10 ~ 😎🍻 #BetterThanGenShitZZZ
its a very good game with a lot of potential to become even better. A solid 8/10 i would say . After reaching the Endgame it falls off a bit for me because skill>builds in this Gacha making new characters not as attractive like in other Gachas. Nevertheless cant wait to play 1.2
I love the weapon mistranslation situation. A bunch of people who hate the game and ride that delicious wood of their creator, were yelling the game is dead in Japan because they won't accept that and whatever. LMAOOOOOOOOO. Keep crying, you know who you are babe.
As a casual player, WuWa is great! Except for music and story, it’s alright. Probably a 6/10. Nothing tear jerking, memorable, or anticipating imo, I still don’t feel any connections to the existing characters yet and still hoping an upcoming character will bring me back (maybe Phrovola).
7/10, solid game and good combat, but even if I like the game, my problems with it isnt even the optimisation issue, but the overall lack of identity and direction from kuro games regarding the open world.
I also think that most of the people who willingly trashltalk genshin via this game are:
-Genshin haters (who honestly just make me laugh, because by doing such, they essentialy increase the popularity factor of genshin wether in the good or bad way and threatens the popularuty of wuwa btw)
- Combat enjoyers coming straigth up from pgr or hi3
I thought the game would make something different from genshin, but again I slowly realised that, even with such good combat and gacha system, I simply wanted something different to do during genshin dry patches, so that I could go back on genshin on each new region, nothing more. Wuwa isnt a genshin killer, not even in the slightest, in fact it's by playing it that I understaood why, no matter how stingy and deaf the devs are, I still prefer genshin over wuwa: So far, genshin has an identity and a will behind his open world: turn the real world historically speaking into openworld game, even despite that freaking representation issue that the western community is fighting for, the idea is there, the music, the references, the ambiance, the plot and the characters contributes to that idea and that's what make it good despite the flaws.
When it comes to wuwa, I dont understand the purpose behind the openworld aside you know, killing mobs again and again in an apocalyptic world and farm them to obtain materials that's it. That's my problem, besidrs that combat is good, events are just ok, and gacha system is great
I hope for significant changes to the cutscenes, presentation, and awkward dialogues, even if the storyline from chapters 1 to 6 remains unchanged.
For example, similar to how the introduction of HI3 was rewritten...
If that is accomplished, it would become a 10/10 game.
"...watching Changli from a safe distance": i mean who doesn't!??!?!??!!? its a blasphemy for those who doesn't watch her!!!
Respectfully, of course.
I counted 17 of your videos with Changli in the thumbnail. I am not complaining.
8/10 = overall rating
there are pros and cons on wuwa, its not perfect, its not the best combat gacha at all arguably
there are improvements need to be done and thats fine, as long they dont drop the ball, its all good
what really matters to me at this point is how is kurogames treating their players on the open world space. Cause if imma stay for good I want the company to be something I can tell people "yep Kurogames does listen" and they delivered.
I've played genshin from the start and also did play PGR both on mobile and PC and theres just so much diff from both companies that made me excited when Wuwa was announced in 2022. Fast forward here we are enjoying the game now and Im glad I switched my spendings from genshin to Wuwa.
Yep I dont care how genshin made money over the past years, Kuro did better in their first 3 days what genshin couldnt do in 3 anniversaries and Its not even an anniversary to begin with
#GCN #Genshincouldnever
5.8/10.
the quality for the game is very mixed. it is very carried by its combat. while it is your typical hack and slash game, it's basic enough to be catchy and the monsters have very cool designs (thundering mephis is just [chef's kiss]). the elements in the game don't make a difference and i would like them to have some kind of importance. not outright genshin interactions but some kind of effect on the things they're used on. the scenery is nice, esp the snow-y area, the animations for the characters are very nice and unique to them.
what holds this game back is the absolutely horrid optimization, the terrible mobile experience (i played this game for almost 2 months on mobile cause i had no pc and it nearly caused me to drop the game cause this game is obviously not designed with mobile in mind), the taxing graphical requirements (i have an s21 ultra and that sucker gets so hot after 45 minutes of playing this game, and also causes my pc to run almost 100% ram for whatever reason and stutters so hard i may as well be playing with 5fps), the characters are very hit or miss (designs for me are... okay, some have pleasing aesthetics (jiyan is so good), others have... very drab and boring gear [i'm sorry, jinhsi is so boring to look at]), very mediocre soundtrack (the battle music is just plain awful and forgettable, i can't lie), the uninspired english voice acting beyond a few stand out characters, and very hit or miss story.
echo farming is a double-edged sword cause while it's nice to infinitely farm, the materials to upgrade are pretty sparing and not knowing the stats to only waste your resources on an echo that turned out to be full garbage doesn't feel good. i have a jiyan at 71/254 and it hurts to unlock mystery garbage substage that you hoped were going to turn out decent. at least in genshin, i knew when an artifact was not worth upgrading even with the highest copium but in wuwa, that is not the option.
while compensation is nice, i feel as though wuwa shouldn't have had to do it in the first. it helps to set a precedent that games can release in a garbage state and patch themselves into something feasible as long as they give you enough free currency to turn a blind eye. i wasn't on the wuwa hype train cause they were giving free stuff cause that free stuff doesn't matter if the game is literally unplayable. i thought people let that slide too easily. while i'll never say no to free currency, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth cause this game should not have released in such a bad and lackluster state with device breaking bugs and optimization so bad that it was uplayable for me so a lengthy amount of time.
overall, this game has good potential but is held back by some pretty bad flaws and i can't, in good conscious, give it any higher. if it at least fixes its optimization issues, this game could be a 7/10 for me
9.5 out of 10. The PS4 or controller support on mobiles would make it perfect for me.
i never think i would get so addicted to Wuthering Waves. Normaly i've played a lot of Open World game and most of them get boring for a while.
A Solid 8.5/10 for me, because they can improve a lot in the future in term of Story/Music/Gameplay/QoL
yes, best main character in any gacha game yet I have seen. Rover is so fine. No wonder everyones chasing for her attention.
I’m literally addicted to wuwa’s combat
But not enough stuff to do for now so imma let em cook more and play other games like snowbreak when I have nothing to do in WuWa
8/10 for now that has a potential of being a 10/10 in the future
Mad that you played that Wuwa intro music for so long. Its honestly not that great and gets tiring and obnoxious really fast. Subtle, non aggressive ambient music would be better.
Yeah it does get kinda annoying listening to one soundtrack waiting for an update. I guess one thing Genshin gets right is having a night and day version of their osts
The editing in your videos keeps getting better keep it up
Hehe thank you, I appreciate that!!
I really like Wuwa, I would put it even higher than the Genshin Impact. My score is 8/10. I took off one point for the lack of localization of my country. English is not my native language, and I would really like to perceive the game without using various translators to immerse myself in the plot of the game. My compatriots hate the game extremely much precisely because of the lack of localization. Our country is the largest in the world and Hoyovers immediately translated their games into our language and Genshin and ZZZ and HSR. I really hope that Kuro will not forget about our region and will do text localization.Our region brings a lot of money to Hoyovers games, I hope that Kuro will not forget about us
the saddest thing is that we can't write in Cyrillic with a friend in the game, it's just not supported by the game, which is extremely inconvenient
i would give it 6/10 just bec the 60fps.
13:25
My man got so confused and disappointed. 🤣🤣
Aight I'm subbing.
LMAO I HAD SO MUCH RAGE I almost stopped recording for a moment.
It’s a fun and beautiful game, but let’s be honest. The story and English voice acting, plus music, is TRASH.
