After taking a look at 10 minutes of gameplay from the action game, director Masakazu Hirayama returns to talk to us in detail about the types of weapons and armor we will be able to use in Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, the new title signed by Team Ninja.

The director talked to GamingBolt about the study that Team Ninja conducted before making the weapons in Wo Long and then discussed their actual use within the game.

“We chose weapons that were the best match for Chinese martial arts. The motions for each weapon type were based on motion-captured forms performed by real martial artists specialized in these weapons. Then we tuned things here and there to make them feel good as an action game,” the director explains.

“If you master the combos of a weapon type and get used to the Martial Arts of your weapon, you should be able to beat the game without switching weapons. However, from a game design perspective, we advise the player to switch weapons depending on the enemy’s attack patterns. By examining the weapons you collected and attaching their status effects to your favorite weapon, you can build weapons that are specialized in all sorts of things, ranging from big damage dealers to healing-focused weapons.”

Hirayama also confirmed that we can obtain boss weapons, allowing you to perform unique attack animations based on the defeated enemy.

There will be 40 sets of armor in the game, each with a bonus set, and transmog is also confirmed, which will allow certain parameters to be transferred to a specific piece of armor.

“Fans of the Three Kingdoms period can look forward to finding iconic weapons and armor from their favorite warlords too. For example, you can roleplay as Guan Yu by wearing his armor while upgrading the Azure Dragon Crescent Glaive to make it super strong,” said Yamagiwa.
