lots of blood sweat and tears went into this one and no holding back on my thoughts (POSITIVES & NEGATIVES)
thank you to those who have been patient for it, and to those new to the channel, welcome to my very nerdy and excessively information dense reviews
i have high hopes for this game, but that also means i will call out things i believe need urgent changing or else they won't be received well on launch
I am new here haha, very happy with you videos so far, keep it up 🔥
The simulation universe already implemented in PGR that is curse wave before honkai star rail ☺, but thanks for the feedback you give to the game and I hope your feedback of the game cause kuro really need it❤

This is such a high quality review of this game. No bias, straight to the point, explaining the mechanics and nuances of the game into a very easily digestible format without missing out on important points.. I think this is by far one of the best reviews of wuwa out there. Thank you for making this! That felt like a 5 min video!
Also, man.. Really cant wait for this game to be released. I recently started playing pgr, and honestly, i'd say it is the best action gacha game out there rn. I kinda regretted not starting sooner. But i'll for sure be starting wuwa on day one!
You're starting at a good time with that free s rank selector event on rn! :D
It's not that there's a lack of bias, it's just that Xlice lets you know where his bias is for you to make your own opinion. He is a Genshin player and Whale, and he acknowledges how that affects his opinion, which makes it a very good review
QTE energy is displayed by the circle next to the HP bar and skill resource.
i thought so as well and i didnt even play the beta xD
My number one concern about WuWa is that Tuning Unlock system on Echoes because I can see that causing burnout REAL QUICK.
Apparently kuro wasn't satisfied with making their gacha system only a little better than genshin's, they decided to be "inspired" by the cancerous artifact RNG too. With regards to these two systems, it feels like kuro are taking too much inspiration from the worst parts of genshin and only doing the bare minimum to be better when I'm sure they could've made both the gacha and echoes less painful for players.
Maybe I'm being too critical, but I expected better of kuro. Credit where credit is due though, the combat and gameplay seem pretty good, and echoes (excluding the RNG nonsense) are a pretty unique spin on the artifacts system in most gachas. However, I'm not looking forward to experiencing genshin "nostalgia" when pulling for characters and grinding for echoes if they don't improve things there.
@@WadeWontson Nah I 100% agree with you here. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed as well, but I have faith that Kuro will address these concerns. If they don't, I'm afraid even awesome gameplay would be able to keep me playing.
@@WadeWontson if they get generous with the banner gacha system like higher chances of winning 50/50s then I would feel less robbed (of my time).... although the echo system already feels like a nightmare....
@@WadeWontson1000000% agree with all of this
it depends on how reliant we are on the perfect rng to clear end game. If its doable with bad rng then im not too concerned
35:51 "Monke is monke."
Truly an intellectual analysis! Love it.
17:14 When it indicate with white waves when the QTE ready, it only means that character will do their Intro skill. If u want the leaving character to do their Outro skill, the circle near the character's health bar should be full.
Gotta be one of the best wuthering reviews out bro. I can feel the effort put into this one. Thanks for taking your time and giving Kuro a solid take on their game. I truly hope it does well on release 😊
Finally, a review that isn't just "OMG NEW GENSHIN KILLER???". I learned so much from this one video, despite having seen several reviews before. I also appreciate you drawing attention to the more niche aspects of the game, like the sound design. I will definitely be sending this video to my buddies who want to understand the game better. Great work 👏
Thank you for the long review Mr. Xlice! I really like aspects of WW but haven’t quite settled on if I want to get it myself yet, but I’m leaning towards yes, so reviews really help :)
Yeah but PGR had their own Cursed Waves (Roguelike) and Abyss, they just did what they already had in PGR their previous game lol. Other than that, great video ^^
True but at the end of the day pgr took inspiration from genshin
@johnsaker1 yea yea of course, because genshin only game in the world xD 😂 fkin femboys

There are plenty of things I've seen that I like (*cough* Jiyan *cough*) but I'm still feeling pretty detached from this game because I've only seen others play it. I need to experience it for myself to judge whether it's something I can see playing in the long-term. That said, this is a great in-depth review! Thanks so much for the hard work, Mr. Xlice.
I'm going to say I fall into the "casual" category, so it's going to be interesting how the combat will appeal to me personally! I like a good challenge every now and then, but hopefully they don't make regular farming (e.g., character leveling materials) that much difficult. I also think the story has a lot of potential, with the concept of sound and soundwaves (the Resonators have soundwave tattoos/marks, it looks like + the Echo system, etc.). Overall, I'm pretty excited! I hope it turns out to be a good game, no matter how long it captures my interest. ;)
thx for the review vid. been looking forward to this game
You can really tell how much work you put into this detailed review into this new upcoming gacha monster and I believe it truly paid off. I've watched many other reviews but nothing compares to yours at all! I know we all appreciate it so much. I've been back and forth with thoughts on this game but I also agree that overall, it's starting off looking pretty good, but there are still my own issues that I'm worried about personally like the combat being a bit too difficult or complicated for my personal playstyle.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us.

This is my first time encountering your channel, and I'm really impressed. Thank you for preparing a straightforward review of key elements of the game. This really helped me understand where Wuthering Waves is at currently, and what potential changes to keep an eye out for in the future. I'm very excited to play this at launch!
Man is quite rare to see some good game reviews in youtube like this, keep up the good vids man 🔥🔥🔥
Expected nothing less from Mr. Xlice. Truly enjoyed this in-depth review of the CBT2. Very detailed and concise and unbiased. Keep going, Mr. Xlice! Really appreciated this review and your insight is one I enjoy watching.
this was a fantastic review. great work!
14:40 not to be a downer but be wary of these types of features since getting free dupes of characters can mean nothing if the game is balanced around having them, i.e. dupes of characters are a requirement to beat content instead of optional
Tbf while a game like HSR does not have this feature for characters, you can buy the standard 5* light cones from shop, but there still doesn’t seem to be a need for them. As for Kuro, PGR doesn’t require to get the shards of characters in order to finish content that gives you premium currency rewards for gacha rolling. Having dupes is only beneficial to compete for highest scores on leaderboard in certain modes that are essentially bragging rights only with little to no extra rewards.
Rexlent has already cleared the hardest CBT2 content with 2 free initial 4* stars.
As long as you are good enough you dont even need 5* stars.
Although i will point that obviously 5* stars are super strong and make clearing a lot easier, but thats a given. Dupes and weapons are not a requirement, skill definitly is the only base requirement.
From what I saw on a video it can take about 700 pulls to get enough currencies to buy two shards. I doubt they will balance any character around it. Sounds more like a whale mechanic to get S6 in an easier way.
Love Mr Slice. Content is always top notch and really well measured and articulated!
I hope they will keep a reasonable ratio of guys and gals
Omg... the Gender Pull Gap
Don't worry...Seeing how they did PGR, you are in safe hands
you mean 1:5 male to female?
Judging from their previous game.. I don't think it will be too bad
People here telling you not to worry because PGR as if PGR doesn't only have 10 males and a controversy of glazing females char over males (like recent white day).
Still it does look there will be more respect to them in Wuwa still don't expect 1:1, gacha are still straight male dominated, so they will be more catered too.
Great review💯✨
This is why I continue to watch your guides. Proud of this one son. Keep up the great work.
The artifact equivalent grind sounds kind of miserable considering the range of stats available. It seems like its also a major feel bad that you can't even tell if a piece is even worth leveling until after you have leveled it. If that is going to be the case I think that the EXP you get for foddering a piece should be higher to compensate. Just a suggestion.
Either way great review looking forward to the game.
Not even 2 weeks in and I'm already burnt out from dailies and the 3 cost echo farm. It's killed all the hype I had for launch.
Really?
Thats something I wanna know. Because every one says the game looks better than genshin with more badass movement,. But when we ll be farming for months, does these Micheal bay animation become tiresome at some point? I realize thats a reason why I never get fatigue playing genshin, bored yes, but the gameplay and visual effect are always easy to read. Idk
Oh finally a better review that doesnt yap as genshin killer but as its own.
29:00 hey cbt2 players here, while those 5 are almost always the good stats, it also depends on the characters, for example Chixia. She is a basic attack characters, so I'd argue basic attack damage bonus is really great for her.
Although that doesn't mean that I am comfortable with the artifact system right now, it is pretty hellish to find the good substat. Man even going for main stat is pretty rough, especially on the "3" cost echo. One type of monster can have 3 different type, as in it can be spectro, fusion or other things. And it's really really hard to get fusion echo that have fusion damage bonus main stat. It's hell.
WuWa, amazingly well put together video!
With all these things, there is one thing that scares me moving forward in Wuthering Waves: powercreep.
I really hope KuroGames can keep the powercreeep under control, because being forced to continuously pull to have a chance to keep up with the game feels miserable.
I say that mostly because of the accessibility of 5 stars weapons. I don’t think KuroGames will go on full throttle with character powercreep, but I definitely see gear powercreep being a thing in Wuthering Waves.
Edit: also, 120FPS and actual character gameplay tutorials are 2 killer features. I know the latter has been done many times before, but it feels like a lost art recently.
o god, so uhhh pgr.... if you wanted to keep up with warzone, you had to pull on every S rank omn if you're f2p. granted you do get enough pull currency each patch that allows you to do that, but how things are now, 2nd generation omns are insane compared to early game release characters because of their "time stop" and insane core passives.
players such as myself are seeing that wuwa is a return to how pgr used to be where it was more about actually fighting instead of spamming core passives and instantly deleting bosses.
@@NeoSpira for bc you get all. For leaderboard, that I'd whale territory, just give up
@@NeoSpiraI expect WuWa to devolve into PGR down the road tho.
Really unfortunate.
Some sort of power creep always will be present in a gacha game, that is the nature of the genre.
I'm more concerned about the generous(compared to Genshin) weapon banner, hopefully, it won't feel mandatory
The fact there isn’t a 5 star selector on the standard banner in genshin is insane 💀
Im still Mona Less after 3 years.💀
i personally love the grey-scale color of the game. it draws more attention to the effects of the characters. it also makes it easier to play for longer since i’m not getting bombarded by saturation of colours
The echoes look so disgustingly terrifying
stfu the turtles look adorable(this is a joke btw).
I mean, they're monsters though 🤷🏾♂️
Some seem cute, but its kinda cool no? I would also like some more cute monsters :)
I dunno I think they look badass
Because monster not supposed to look cute and this game isn't too much childish so
thank you for keeping this review real, this is what we all no cbt plebs needed :D
Great video , really enjoyed it, was on the fence on whether id try playing the game but your insight made the decision a whole lot easier, much appreciated
very high quality review , thank you
Nicely done!
At the end of the day, I play Genshin as an RPG game. I interact with all the artifact and such systems, but WW will need to have the story and exploration quality to keep me going.
That said I really hate the laziness of most of the UI.
I agree with you, the U.I is so horrible 😭
I commented on another video that the UI is plain ugly and uninspired and got jumped on by some fans. I'm so happy to see other people share this sentiment
@@praskova29 I *will* say that since I've seen some images of Genshin's first betas and that was certainly an experience.
(I saw them with no relation to WW btw)
@@omerpockard7212 Omg, yes. I've seen them, too, and couldn't believe the game used to look like... that.
WuWa looks really good, looking forward for its release. But I hope they do something about the Echo leveling system, like refund stat tuners if we use an Echo as Exp.
I was thinking of giving this game a chance, but apparently, it is not for me. The discussion on echoes drown any interest.
Thank you for the review! Great work.
WuWa! Looking forward to your content for this game
14:11 i've seen this in other gacha games and it's honestly weirder that genshin or hsr or other hyv games don't implement this sort of purchase ability for its player base. Granted even on those games, like Arknights, the amount of currency required to purchase their potential (constellation equivalent) is still pretty steep for an f2p, but hey at least the option is there.
That aside, thanks so much for this in-depth review! As someone who's more focused on the combat (I like to have a bit more oomph in my fights like in aether gazer), seeing what you think about the combat system + farming to further enhance combat is helping me decide whether to play the game or nah upon release.
edit: typo
Hell even FGO technically has that! But the currency for those only drops 1 at a time when you get a copy of a 5-star NP5 character (the game's equivalent to C6) and you need 10 to exchange for 1 5-star
EVEN WHALES don't use that system
It's not really that steep for f2p in arknights, it's just that ya aint gonna get every single new shop operator
WuWa! This was indeed a very complete and honest review. Congrats on your dedication and hard work, mr. pp.
0:30 Simulated Universe is more akin to PGR's Cursed Waves Rougelike gamemode...and also don't worry about boss fights...seeing on how Kuro did the bosses in their previous game PGR, you will ABSOLUTELY not be disappointed...you are one of the 4 CCs that I've heard great and proper reviews about the game...as a Kuro fan, i can't thank you enough
I‘d disagree, it‘s more elysian realm in honkai, since you only play one char with secondary chars being only a support. Also special abilities made for one character.
@@ebering4.039 Idk about Elysian realm but I'm sure Kuro took inspirations to Cursed Waves...
They even took the Elusive Echoes and the name of the game from Cursed Waves...not every Rougelike need to be HI3 inspired yk? Maaayybbbe a little bit...but yhey mainly used Cursed Waves as basis
@@CoFF3e_Man nah bro, kuro totally ain't made they own shit. We gottttaa keeeep tosssinn in hoyoverse shit.😂
@@zolore1228
I'm gonna paste this again
[How the tables have turned...you became the monsters you hated...as Genshin players how was it? Defending Genshin after it was called a BOTW copy back when it was released? and then do the same thing to another game? Youa re all a bunch of hypocrites]
@@CoFF3e_Man Again, I don't see too many similarities to cursed wave, so let's compare:
Cursed wave, you play with up 3 characters and the point is to recruit more and more chars to activate bond. You can upgrade characters once per run via recruiting them again and ONCE only to 3 star if you happen to go for the fourth ending and have insight as a result. This is a segway into how a run works, you have combat stages and you have mini events, the mini events can be interconnected to heavily alter how a run goes, for example the "demon appears" sidequest made up of three event nodes that when all is done correctly gives you free shops.
This isn't even mentioning that you can have 4 different endings depending on your choices.
Also bosses aren't on a timer short timer, like sure there is always the 10-15 hard time limit but other than that you can take as long as you need, sure the boss will get radiation but that can be played around with through matrix, swapping or just using chrome turtle techs.
Your primary way of getting stronger in cursed wave is the bond and path abilities for example, ice path reaches 8 stars for the max buff. The secondary way is through relics that give buffs, some can be received as normal battle rewards or as story rewards like the purple wave crystal relic.
Now, the rogue like here in WW:
you play as 1 character period, you can have a support character but they only act as off field supports with a singular ability.
You can also receive buffs that directly impact how the played character acts....for example rover's resonance skill summoning 3 blades instead of 1 or the ult explodes twice
There are no alternative routes as of yet, no event nodes related to story nor are there different endings.
Bosses are on a relatively short timer compared to cursed wave
Now elysian realm in Hi3:
you play as 1 character and the other characters are acting only as supports with 1 skill.
You get Elysia buffs that direcly impact how a character plays...for example Herrscher of sentience can perform up to 18 slashes during her ult instead of like 7 or idk, striker fulminata mei summoning 4 blades instead 1 one with her charged attack.....no similarities at all I understand.
And you get normal buffs like ult cd reduction or more dmg.
You have 17 floors and 3 bosses like this ww mode.
And the bosses are on a short timer as well becoming more of a dps check
There are no alternative routes and no event nodes. Only combat nodes.
With all that said, I would say that YES it is in fact way more like the elysian realm than cursed wave.
Cursed wave and later on derived from matrix is WAY more in-depth in terms of how a run can go, idk similar to arknights integrated strategies with different endings and how choices can impact the run.
I've watched a lot of youtubers review games over the years, but you're one of the few who stand out.
Lots of thoughtful bits of wisdom in this video. Your hard work is appreciated, Xlice.
one thing ive notice about the echoes is the stats you can get out of them are much lower over all, to the point that multiple other stats might be considered better till so many other options are stacked into. one of the thing that make crit build better in other games is because of layered factors.
genshins case we got so many ways to buff dmg% and atk/other scaling so much that the only efficent way to build chars is the least buffable stat that effects the over all dmg, crits. infact crits despite being a higher % stat by 33% to elemental dmg in genshins case requires actually 2 to function, be it crit rate has a cap and does make crit dmg the better stat if others are equal, but to get to that is entire dedicated builds. atm the best we got in genshins crit buffs is 10% rate thats mostly super conditional and 40% crit dmg that is con locked with conditionals, well bennett still provides at least a 50%+ atk boost to most setups.
back to wuthering, the amount of crit that appears to be possible isnt that good as genshin to the same range as genshins because sub stats cant be upgraded, sure crit dmg can roll something like 20.4%, but it can also only roll about halve that on crit rate for CV of 41.4, well rare on genshin its possible to get the unicorn tier of 50+ CV, realistic is 45 after a long a rather long time. WuWa average higher tier if they do crit will probably be 30 per piece, not sure on max weapons, but it looks like a CV of maybe 200 from echoes and weapon. well even using 40CV+crit weapon on genshin already breaks 300.
despite all that, all the other buffs that weve seen so far(which is subject to change) are on a much smaller scale then what we have in genshin(seriously bennett is a hell of a benchmark for a buffer). so basicly anything that can increase any of the rotations even if its a bit char specifical might over all prefer those other stats then just crit. flats are still probably the worst sub though.
Wuwa!! I'm excited for this game
For the "dullness" in the graphics, turn down the brightness setting in game, as it is a whitening filter which dulls the colors.
WuWa
what im hoping is that they implement s when using an ultimate. Ive had many instances where i used my ult and was locked in the pretty animation and therefore took damage i could have avoided if I were able to move and such. It's a bother and not really fun to have to move out of the way to ult safely lol
Excited for WuWa it's very remiscent to my ToF brainroy from before
when I first heard of the game, i didn’t care about it. even when i saw that you were playing it on twitch i wasnt interested…. but your explanations are always phenominal. thank you man, seeing the gameplay is really interesting! i definitely am excited to see how echoes and the colors change in game. WuWa!
If they keep the echo system the same grindy way I might give it the star rail treatment and only get my characters geared up to the point progressing the story, daily/weekly stuff and exploration easily.
I’m so excited!!! 🥳 there’s a mini that reminds me of Nahida that I’m super hyped for!
One of your best vdeos good job
Ill wait for next video
New subscriber btw 👍
2 things that make me disappointed are
1. the over world, u know like in zelda or genshin element can interact with grass water but its not in wuwa
so it just feels like overworld just there and not affected the combat at all.
it just typical hack and slash combat, that matter only character and mobs not environment
that aspect kinda make me feel like the overworld just "dead"
i guess thats the point they only make the combat between character vs mobs only
2. is the hard content
i thought the hard content would be in overworld but i guess is not
it so silly "hard open world" like ppl say but it ended up hard content in "domain" just back to pgr or hi3 if it the case
just my opinion
other than that everything is solid
also this is one of the best review i think
fair and not overglazing
Your first point does make sense, me personally, I don't care about it as much since it just provide small improvements imo. Second point however, I just can't agree with. Holo bosses takes like 5 minutes to kill, once. And that is assuming it's a perfect run. You need to farm OW bosses, it's the game design. Spending 5 minutes trying kill bosses just for them to drop (most likely) shit echo is a waste of time. Now, does this mean bosses should be meatbags that just stands there and take it like a good boy? No. But making farmable bosses as hard as holo bosses will just waste player's time. Boss fights needs to be fun, not hard. Sometimes being hard makes it fun but by no means is it a requirement.
@@foxxy4779 "But making farmable bosses as hard as holo bosses will just waste player's time"
i agree that this will wasting players time
my point is since holo boss is an OPTION and not farmable why not just put it in open world not in "domain" and give an achievement that will give rewards like holo rewards.
for example i play ff12 (the gameplay like arknights enfield btw) they put the hardest bosses in overworld. with that boss in the overworld makes the open world more alive, I have the option of which areas in the map are dangerous. but the way they implement "domains" makes the open world so dull imo.
even BOTW implements difficult bosses in its overworld not in the domain, although botw difficulty is far below holo bosses.
i just feels like they can do it, when there is no element interaction with the environment, I think placing difficult bosses in the overworld can be a substitute.
imo
@@krosingu Well, the holo bosses have varying difficulty you can choose from. Making it a domain makes it easier. Unless there's ways of incorporating different level of difficulty for a single boss in the overworld without relying on world level.
@@foxxy4779 i guess, unless the rewards reset every periode of time i dont see why ppl doing it over and over again in lower difficulty
@@krosingu People love to challenge themselves. You will see a lot of no hit run on the final difficulty of holo bosses I can tell you that.
Great video.
Thinking about the echo system, they should increase the exp drop from the domains or reduce the amount of "resin" used on it. In addition make the tune system a little bit different. Make the substats unlockable by leveling up the echos and the tuning itens reroll thebsubstats. That way they can maintain the rabge of possibilities from the substats...
WuWa. Balls.
I have my reservations about the echo system but we'll see. Im probably crazy enough to go for perfect pieces..
the banner sounds pretty nice, although I wish the shop currencies were more similar to Nikke's mileage shop where 200 limited pulls lets you buy 5 star characters, even ones you don't own, that are currently on banner. they also have the standard mileage for dupes. makes it significantly easier for f2p and whales to get characters and dupes that they want, say if 2 limited characters come out and you were lucky to summon one and then use your mileage for the other.
because wuwa gacha rates are still very low a system like that would be greatly beneficial. the weapon banner change is also good.
i don't mind character pity being much higher than PGR even though you're guaranteed characters, but they did make the weapons a bit better with the increased cost. feels like characters got more expensive and adding a 50/50 that kind of stings.
echo farming concerns me a great deal... as well as daily stamina systems. if wuwa endgame is not tied to stamina systems, is varied and fun enough it won't be too bad though. i do hope that wuwa makes more co-op content than Genshin has, being able to explore with a group of friends and actually get exploration done would be a godsend. doing co-op raids and challenging boss battles together would also be awesome. I'm so tired of doing everything by myself with no incentive for making friends.
for open world exploration i seriously hope they make it enjoyable. mounts to easily traverse massive worlds, easy ways of finding chests, puzzles, and other missing treasure without internet websites or months of grinding for a gadget is essential. open world games must be fairly easy to traverse, fun to explore, and rewarding to players finding every nook and cranny.
copying Genshin's events would really kill the excitement for me though, they absolutely need to be as long as the entire patch and replayable when they are gone. Missing flagship major events because I was too busy for the first 20 days of a Genshin patch has meant that despite being a day 1 player I have missed like 80% of the events in the entire game. I can sit down for 4-6 hours and play but I might not log into a game for 1-2 weeks or more. HSR has helped tremendously with that.
the things I do absolutely adore is the fast and fluid combat system, the gorgeous graphics and environments, the detailed, expressive, and mature character designs. I hope they keep the majority of the world duller and darker because the tiny spots of colorful tranquility makes it all the more stunning. the difference in music diversity is incredible and I want to see them continue peaceful exploration/intense boss music.
character personality/story is something I have to personally hold off until the final release, its very STC and without English voice acting I can't say get too attached right now.
5:59 a 100% agree on this one. Some animes have such epic fight scene and crisp animation but the immersion gets butchered by bad sound effects etc. A great example of is the first two seasons of AOT, the directors did such a great job.
about the rng of echo's substat, Rexlent is also irritate with this. So I think Kuro will have some changes to them, maybe bring the memory resonance system from PGR to WW will solve that problem
honestly i think the echo system is better bcuz its easier to get main stats and substats r less important due to ur ability to not have a skill issue unlike genshin and hsr where if ur substats arent good ur cooked
i actually can see the difficulty of getting cracked echoes as a plus bc that means itll be harder to just end up one shotting every boss
-ar 60 in genshin/45 in hsr
I'm really interested in the echo summons. They remind me of the soul cores from Nioh 2, which was one of the additions that made it such a huge step up from the first game.
I feel as though the echo system is acgually good. It seems like it makes it easier for players to get a decent base level build while increasing the grind for perfect builds and thats actually a good thing. The point of gacha is about getting the rare item, but if that rare item is pretty common, it loses its value as a truly rare item. What kuro games is doing is making perfect builds actually rare but not punishing the more casual players in the process.
can't wait for WuWa!
One question I'd like to as about the summoning system is if the pity from one event banner will carry over to the next one, like if I get 50 wishes into Jiyan's banner but when it ends, I'll still have 50 pity for Yinlin?
One week away from release, I’m now really excited for this game 😻
WuWa ;)
Thank you for a lot's of information
I like the gacha and I like the gameplay so far. If it stays, I’m sold. Hoping it comes out soon!
QTE energy gauge is located at the left side of your health bar, the colored circle
This review is by far the most detailed I've ever watched, especially mentioning the graphics and BGM. It means a lot to someone like me who feels the gameplay along with the music.
Those substats are nutso, either take away the dice used to show the substat or reduce the amount of substats. Unless crazy stats are not needed like Xlice said.
It is nice to see how much more hardcore generally this game is going to be, and not mobile constrained (i expect mobile support to die fast).
How are items in the game, can you generally use them minus in the abyss/SU equivalents?
for that large range of substats, we should actually know what substats we get at +0.
a 3x difference is enough rng to encourage farming. it is like getting 3-4 hits of the same substat in genshin
WuWa ❤ can’t wait for this game to come out and replace my current main game. Looking forward to the story development and fast paced gameplay
Thank you Mr PP ❤
Very down to earth review.
Can only only roll each substat once? No double rolls in the same substat?
Looks good ngl
Concerto energy = small filling circle to the left of the hp and "core" passive.
It is not a Concerto energy anymore...it is called an intro and outro skill now
@@CoFF3e_ManYes it is still called concerto energy if I remember correct. But not concerto effects. But the energy name is Concerto
@@clumzy2003 Oh, hahaahha my bad😅
@@CoFF3e_Man Actually concerto energy is used differently depending on the character so not tied to intro/outro
first review in my entire life on any game that i actually didnt skip more than a minute.....amazing.
Kinda wanna try playing it but there just seems to be a lot going on which im worried about burning out and being too confused, if they work on that echo system i will probs wanna play.
7:31 That character alongside Rover has so badass animations bro. I'll reroll for her once the game releases if she's a high rarity character.
PS: WuWa !
"please spend responsibly" is such a funny thing for a gacha game to have XD
watch kurogames make a pro gamer move and summon another pandemic as a marketing strategy
I've seen so many reviews, and yet no one seems to mind that we don't have the option to ride a wolf or something to manually travel faster. That would be such a nice feature to have imo. Do people really not care at all about that? Maybe I'm a bit weird in that regard, but something like that would be extremely valuable to me.
I was planning to play ZZZ when it releases, but when I heard of wuwa, at first I never liked it bc of the visuals but after the improvements I’m sold, I can’t wait for its release. I also have never played a skilled base game most games I play that includes combat are just button mashing, I want a pretty difficult game to play
kudos! very high quality review!
How are the dailies?
I work rotating 12hr shifts so the days that I work, I could not log in to Genshin, spend 180 resin AND run around and do 5 dailies.
Starrail fixed that with basically completing as you go.
Also is it cannon if you choose male or female mc? (If there is a choice). In Genshin, it's pretty much outlined that Aether is supposed to be saving Lumine, not the other way around.
Can always count on Xlice for the excellent and timely review.
Will this game also be like genshin with endless new areas coming in different patches or has it a fixed ending like elden ring etc. ?
Such a w review
WuWa!
I'm honestly looking forward to echo balancing. I've heard that there were changes that they are implementing for the live version of the game. But I still think the substat grind and resource requirement to unlock said substats needs a bit more balancing. Other than that, I'm honestly looking forward to the game, and might end up finally quitting Genshin, only to just play it for the story and lore reasons.
I'm seeing a lot of gameplay of this game on CZcams but cant find where to download this game. The official website doesn't give a link
WuWa!
I'm really looking forward to the release of Wuthering Waves, but I am very hesitant on the Echo rng. As someone who left Honkai Star Rail due to burnout where a major chunk of it came from horrendously poor luck on relic rng for just the main stats, there is a good chance with the things they are now, I can see myself leaving WuWa if I can't clear content with time limits because I'm being damage-gated due to poor Echo rng. I really do hope they make improvements to that system, and seeing how Kuro Game made massive overhauls from CBT1 to 2 because of player feedback, I'm still optimistic that they will improve the Echo system.
My 2 cents on how they could improve echos would be having every 5 levels unlock a substat, but the roll's value can range between the current minimum roll and half of the current maximum roll, but you can use tuners X amount of times dependent on how many substats you unlocked to roll an upgrade on a subtat (maybe only ones that haven't been upgraded yet) for the same range of values as unlocking it (current minimum to half the current maximum). It'll be harder to get perfect roll values, but you won't get hit with an equivalent of a lvl 0-4 Genshin artifact worth of substats on a maxed Echo. Either that or introduce a resource that can reroll a substat that's also reasonably obtainable as an F2P. It would also be nice for us to do something with our lvl 0 Echoes, because I can see inventories getting very cluttered fast if the game's lifespan does pass the test of time since it would really feel bad to just waste Echo exp to chain feed bad Echoes to get rid of them.
I want to play this game mostly for the combat style
I really hope this game is successful. I don't plan to play it cuz time is rough just as you said. I already have 4 games (Genshin, HSR, R1999, Aether Gazer), and also plan to play Zenless and Endfield when they release, my main reason is simply as you said, a familiar UI, your points of positivity towards the familiar structures are good and convincing, but for me personally, I'd hate to do the repetitive process of artifacts and stuff Genshin and Star Rail are too much already.
And again, hope everyone enjoys this game when it releases, and don't be too toxic to the devs.
That's why i've been enjoying R1999 and Arknights. No god damn rng stats xD
@@narius_jaden215 and a really nice change of pace, not the usual repetitive exploration stuff.
@@IchiAriichisanroku Oh then you would be really pleased with Endfield since a lot of their grindings are in factory, onxe your factory is set up it will do anything for you like farming char mats, getting currencies, etc... No rng bullshit also since ur equipments have locked stats so it only comes down to crafting the highest tier equipments.
HG is really innovative in a lot of aspect, they utilize and implement their game function really well despite the limitations. It's no surprised that they were the one who started the whole rougelike mode for gacha games in the 1st place.
@Hieulegen27 wait really? That's great to know! I haven't really seen the actual gameplay mechanics and all I know about it so far is the open world. Thanks for the heads up! Definitely playing Endfield on launch.
@@IchiAriichisanroku Ye. Also be note Endfield isnt an OW, it's a fixed map where you can run around like SR. But you can set up infrastructures around the map to harvest materials.
30:00 so basically you have the same amount of chance of getting a perfect echo than getting a 5 star with a single pull
no, for the echo it's 0.08% and for the pulls it's 0.8% that's ten times less...
You don't have to grind for perfect echos if you don't have skill issue just saying 😅😅😅
@@core0195 Are you retarded?
