Wukong Sets Epic Nintendo Switch Debut

The gaming world often sees projects attempting to capitalize on popular titles' success. However, Wukong Sun: Black Legend isn't just inspired by—it appears to directly copy elements from Game Science's hit game. The visual style, the staff-wielding protagonist, and the plot description strongly resemble a direct imitation.

Currently available for pre-order on the US eShop, the game's future is uncertain. The blatant similarities raise the possibility of a copyright infringement lawsuit from Game Science, potentially leading to its removal from the platform.

Wukong Sun: Black Legend's description reads: “Embark on an epic journey to the West. Play as the immortal Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, fighting for order in a chaotic world filled with powerful monsters and deadly dangers. Explore a story inspired by Chinese mythology, featuring intense battles, stunning locations, and legendary enemies.”

This closely mirrors the acclaimed Black Myth: Wukong, an epic Chinese mythology-based adventure from a small Chinese studio. Its unexpected popularity, including topping Steam charts, is remarkable. Black Myth: Wukong boasts exceptional detail, engaging gameplay, and challenging, yet accessible, combat (incorporating elements of the Souls-like genre). The combat system and progression are thoughtfully designed, avoiding the need for extensive guides while still demanding strategic thinking. Visually, the fluid animations make the battles breathtaking. The game's strength lies in its captivating setting and stunning visual design, creating an immersive fairy-tale experience. Many gamers believe Black Myth: Wukong deserved a "Game of the Year 2024" nomination at the TGA awards.
