As if it couldn’t obtain larger ranges of success, Sport Science’s Black Delusion: Wukong has offered 18 million copies inside two weeks of launch. It’s an unbelievable milestone, however the journey isn’t over but, as an growth is confirmed to be within the works. What it might provide, when it launches, and so on. is all unknown, and it may very well be some time earlier than any data is offered. That gained’t cease us from wishing for sure issues and hoping they arrive true. Listed here are 15 issues we’d wish to see from Black Delusion: Wukong’s first growth.
Map
Will it’s added in a post-launch replace sooner or later? In all probability. If it doesn’t, the topmost function that ought to arrive with the growth is an in-game map. Make it obtainable to all gamers and embody the bottom sport alongside no matter new areas are added within the growth. One thing, something, even a bodily map that the protagonist has to take out each time and manually mark waypoints with a pen, can be excellent. Allow us to navigate Black Delusion: Wukong’s world extra intuitively, particularly when revisiting previous places or investigating potential secrets and techniques.
Quest Tracker
Exterior of the boss fights, there are a lot of quests to finish. Having a tracker to notice the subsequent step can be nice. That doesn’t imply having a waypoint system always pointing in the direction of the subsequent goal. Hold the invention factor alive whereas making it simpler to know what’s pending, making it simpler to backtrack and mop up earlier than progressing the story.
Loadouts
With all of the completely different armor units, Spirit Expertise, and Transformations within the sport, it’s stunning that there’s no choice to create loadouts. If a sure mixture isn’t working in opposition to a boss otherwise you need to change issues up, with the ability to save these into builds that may be swapped from shrines can be nice. It could save time when swapping every part out, defeating a boss, after which swapping again to the standard set-up if nothing else.
Transmog
One of many different bafflingly absent choices is transmog, or equipping the look of an armor set with out messing along with your stats or present construct. It’s one other factor that Sport Science might launch in an replace, particularly given the demand and if it decides to launch any non-pay-to-win cosmetics. If not, there’s no higher time than with the growth, particularly because it’ll seemingly have much more armor units to pursue.
New Spells
Not together with Transformations and Spirit Expertise, Wukong provides eight spells, every with its upgrades, however since that is an growth, it solely is smart to need extra. What must be added is anybody’s guess, given how a lot there already is, however some extra vary choices can be excellent. Given his skills, manipulating the climate, summoning dragons and spirits, and rather more are probably on the desk (alongside a number of new upgrades for the present spells to maintain them aggressive).
New Stances
Including to that, a brand new Stance or two would even be nice. There may very well be a stance that allows Ruyi Jingu Bang to turn out to be a lot bigger for rather more devastating assaults with unbelievable vary. One other might give attention to innate parrying and counter-attacking, maybe at the price of mobility and dodging. It’s all about increasing on the participant’s alternative whereas fulfilling the ability fantasies related to Wukong. As soon as once more, getting some new upgrades and talents for the present stances would even be appreciated.
Parrying and Blocking on Particular Weapons
In fact, an alternative choice is so as to add new staves with devoted parrying and blocking methods. Not solely might this feed into a possible new stance, however even potential new armor selections, with particular results triggering primarily based on profitable parries. Whether or not Sport Science would go down this route stays to be seen, however it will nonetheless open up in depth protection choices.
Boss Rush
Given all of the boss rush analogies earlier than launch (which turned out to be false), it appears solely becoming {that a} mode for a similar ought to arrive sooner or later. It may very well be separated into completely different tiers, with gamers combating one after one other, testing their mettle and going the space. There may very well be customizable difficulties for many who need a further problem and even the choice to problem any bosses in any order.
Boss Rematch
Alternatively, having the choice to rematch in opposition to a single boss wouldn’t be too shabby. Perhaps a participant loved a selected combat and desires to re-experience or farm some XP and Will, offering a professional methodology. Regardless, given how spectacular a number of the fights are, it solely is smart to need to face them once more.
The Enviornment
If there’s a hack-and-slash motion RPG available, then an enviornment should comply with, the place you’ll be able to tackle wave after wave of enemies and see how lengthy you’ll be able to endure. Each ten waves might throw in a novel boss with particular rewards, although there may also be a factors system to redeem for supplies, armor units, and extra. You may even add rogue-lite modifiers to spice issues up between waves, like triggering sure buffs, mixing up enemy assaults, and so on.
Larger Zones to Discover
We’ve seen the sorts of environments that Sport Science has to supply, and whereas they begin to increase after the primary few chapters, the growth might go even greater. It doesn’t have to undertake an open-world method – simply providing extra intricate pathways and hidden areas, extra advanced puzzles, and some extra assorted fight eventualities would go a great distance in the direction of making it a contemporary expertise over the bottom sport.
Extra Intricate Platforming
You possibly can add platforming to that as nicely as a result of there isn’t a lot to talk of proper now. It might even turn out to be a possibility to increase on vertical exploration, with gamers having to leap, climb, and extra to entry sure locations. Take a number of cues from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s vertical design – although not that many, as a result of let’s be actual – and provides gamers an opportunity to essentially dig by way of the world’s secrets and techniques.
Extra Difficulties and Problem Choices
All this speak of further challenges solely reinforces that Black Delusion: Wukong wants tougher problem choices. The growth might method this with modifiers, permitting gamers to customise enemy and boss injury, add new strikes for bosses, or add different debuffs like decrease injury. It is also one thing so simple as Sekiro’s Demon Bell, which makes every part tougher by default and which may be disposed of if issues get too intense.
Wukong’s Voice
If the growth follows the true ending of the bottom sport, it will make sense to have the protagonist absolutely voiced all through. With how good the voice appearing for Wukong is within the opening, it’d be a disgrace to not have that once more. Think about venturing by way of new zones or interacting with characters and listening to his quips.
Much less Invisible Partitions
It’s unlikely that Sport Science will fully get rid of the invisible partitions. Nevertheless, having fewer of them, particularly if the growth’s environments may very well be extra open, can be the appropriate play. Even within the base sport, the place we all know there isn’t a lot to discover past particular factors, it’d be good to have extra freedom when venturing by way of and never really feel so constrained to the designated paths.
