Poor reception of the game on Steam

Asian gamers are having fun with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty since yesterday, thanks to which many reviews have already appeared on Steam. Only 31% of them praise the game, which is categorized as a "mostly negative" reception.

The game itself is generally praised and is even said to be decently optimized. What is eliciting such bad reactions are the controls, which are said to be severely unsuitable for keyboard and mouse. There's a demo available on Steam, so it's worth checking before you buy to see if this element will bother you as much as users negative reviews.

It's worth recalling that this isn't the first time Team Ninja has failed to polish the controls on PC. First NiOh went down in history as a game, the PC version of which, on the day of release, did not support the mouse at all, offering only the option to play on the gamepad or exclusively on keyboard. Mouse support was only added in a post-release update.
