Sometimes, games of this type are made in Korea and don’t have the appropriate, authentic feel.” By comparison, the selfish members of the deceptively named Blissful Valley are intent on cheating death by way of a vicious, twin-sword fighting style.Ĭommunity manager, Chris Brooks identifies the portrayal of the game’s external influences as one of the most important factors during development, “Because is a Chinese developer, it’s really important to them that authentically reflects the Chinese culture. The humble Beggar’s Sect, for example, is attuned to a philosophy similar to that of Robin Hood and utilises focused aggression through open-palm or staff-based techniques. This is most readily apparent in Age of Wulin’s 8 playable sects, which include familiar orders such as the Shaolin monks, through to the Wuxia-inspired, all-female clan of Emei.Įach sect has back-story based either on its real world discipline or an established Chinese fiction, along with a philosophy that shapes its alignment, favoured weapons and that informs the key tenets of its fighting style. Having key elements of the game’s personality and identity draw directly from Chinese culture lends Age of Wulin an exotic authenticity that’s seldom explored in more homogenised video game worlds.
