Have you ever wondered where your characters go when you log out? In Age of Wushu, your character is transformed into an NPC and continues living even when you aren’t controlling them. I don’t know what my character does in RuneScape when I’m not around, and considering that all he does is look for a rich girlfriend when I am logged in, I think I’m better off ignorant. Definitely worth trying out if you like your mobile games with a little depth.Even if you hate Age of Wushu as a game, there is little denying that Snail Games took the title to crazy town when coming up with some of the more inventive features. It might not be the fully fledged MMO some people are hankering for, but, if anything, it's more fun than that. It's alarmingly slick, really easy to pick up and play, and its short sharp compulsion loops are easy to get entangled in. Rather than trying to force a genre onto mobile that just doesn't fit, Age of Wushu: Dynasties tries something different, and it just about pulls it off. I've put a good few hours in and not hit any pay walls yet. I mean, it is free to play, and there's stuff you can spend your real-life money on, but if you don't fancy it you can just keep playing and not paying. There's a bit of screen-bashing, but once you get to grips with things you'll be throwing out kicks, punches, and slices like a modern day Bruce Lee.
It makes for a complex set of skills that evolves as you play. There's a parry system as well, and a feint button. There's a standard attack that spins out combos if you mash the button, as well as extra attacks and special moves that you unlock as you level up. You control everything with on-screen buttons. The combat is chaotic, but there's some skill involved too. The bigger story missions give control back to you, and they're where the game shines the brightest. Most things are automated, or at least they are if you want them to be. You pick a character from one of four classes, then run around the world taking quests and killing enemies with your kung fu skills. Well it's a martial arts online action RPG. The violence is sharp and exhilarating, the game looks super-polished, and while there's still grind present, it takes a lot of it out of your hands. There's a slick combat system, some complex levelling, and an awful lot to do.Īnd it's a lot of fun. Then there are instances that give you far more control. A lot of what you do is automated - tap the quest icon to run around, pass on messages, and occasionally get in some little scraps. It's got more in common with card battlers than World of Warcraft to some degree. It's an MMO, but squished down to fit mobile play sessions. Age of Wushu: Dynasty is an interesting one.
