In the gaming world, it's common to see projects that attempt to capitalize on the success of popular titles. However, Wukong Sun: Black Legend stands out not just for its inspiration but for its apparent copying of elements from the hit game, Black Myth: Wukong, developed by Game Science. The visual style, the protagonist wielding a staff, and the plot description of Wukong Sun: Black Legend seem to be directly inspired by Black Myth: Wukong.
Currently, Wukong Sun: Black Legend is available for pre-order on the US eShop, but its future remains uncertain. Due to the evident similarities, Game Science might pursue a copyright infringement lawsuit, which could lead to the game's removal from the platform.
The description for Wukong Sun: Black Legend reads: "Embark on an epic journey to the West. Try on the role of the immortal Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, fighting for order in a chaotic world full of powerful monsters and deadly dangers. Explore a story inspired by Chinese mythology, with intense battles, impressive locations, and legendary enemies."
On the other hand, Black Myth: Wukong is an epic adventure deeply rooted in Chinese mythology. Surprisingly, this RPG from a small Chinese studio has soared in popularity, topping Steam charts. Black Myth: Wukong boasts an incredible level of detail, engaging gameplay, and challenging battles that echo the souls-like genre. Despite its difficulty, the game is accessible to newcomers.
The combat system and progression in Black Myth: Wukong are designed to be intuitive yet thought-provoking, eliminating the need for extensive guides. Visually, the battles are stunning, enhanced by smooth animations. The game's main appeal lies in its immersive setting and breathtaking visual design, drawing players into a captivating fairy tale. The character design and the world's beauty are so compelling that it's hard to pull away. According to gamers, Black Myth: Wukong is a strong contender for the "Game of the Year 2024" nomination at The Game Awards.
