Summary
- A Black Myth: Wukong ripoff called Wukong Sun: Black Legend has popped up on the Nintendo eShop.
- It appears to be using AI-generated imagery to sell itself, and is a rather cheap looking 2D platformer rather than a soulslike.
- Globalgamestudio is the developer behind it, and has several games on the Nintendo eShop, most of them rather shoddy looking.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Myth: Wukong burst onto the scene earlier this year, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:breaking Steam records while capturing the hearts of soulslike fans across the globe. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It won Player'sꦚ Voic🌳e at The Game Awards, and was nominated for the grand prize, ult🌃imately losing out to Astro Bot. However, you can't really say you'𒀰ve made it until someone attempts to create a cheap ripoff and flog it on an official storefront though.
Black Myth: Wukong's massive popularity and sales meant ripoffs were always likely, and our first official one . First spotted by , a game called Wukong Sun: Black Legend can now join the likes of high-profile ripoffs 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:such as Light of Mothiram, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last Hope - Dead Zone Survival, and Stumble Guys as shame𒈔less knock-offs that have somehow avoided a lawsuit.
Black Myth: Wukong Ripoff Pops Up On Nintendo eShop
Right from the offset, you can see that something isn't quite right. The first image promoting the title looks to be an AI-generated image of Sun Wukong, as his🀅 strangely textured, black and gold armor shows all the hallmarks of AI. It looks relatively similar to the main character of Black Myth: Wukong, but the game itself is anything but.
Take a look at the screenshots provided, and you'll see that Wukong Sun: Black Legend is far from a fast-paced soulslike. It actually looks more like a side-scrolling platformer with very light hack and slash mechanics, though I think calling them "mechanics" may be doing the game a favor. It's essentially the sort of shovelware you can find littered across t🌄he iOS and Android stores.
Black 🎐Myth: Wukong Was Never Going To Win Game Of The Year
Compared to the competi⛄on, this impressive action game didn't stand a chan🍸ce.
It comes from a studio calling itself Globalgamestudio, which actually has almost half a dozen games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, most of which look to be just as poor in quality. It even꧒ has a game called , so this isn't even the first time it's used a more popular IP to try and get a leg up.
It's definitely the most high-profile game it's tried to rip off though, which makes you wonder exactly how it thought it could get away with it, especially when Black Myth: Wukong is fres𒆙h off 🍸the back of a controversy surrounding The Game Awards, so it's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the minds of the people. Somehow, I don't think Wukong Su🅠n: Black Legend will be picking up any awards this time next year though.
