The modding community often reinvents games to the point where they bear little resemblance to the original, and the Black Myth: Wukong mod by a Bilibili user known as f布布u is a prime example.
A modder has transformed the hit third-person action RPG, inspired by the classic Chinese novel ‘Journey to the West’ and featuring a monkey protagonist modelled after Sun Wukong, into a first-person shooter.
The mod drastically changes the gameplay by allowing players to use an assault rifle to combat enemies and bosses instead of the traditional staff wielded by the main character.
The modder demonstrates that the mod allows players to advance through each level with minimal effort, as the AK-47 inflicts more damage and has a greater range than a staff. Consequently, the game shifts towards a gameplay experience akin to a first-person shooter.
If you’re weary of the melee combat and looking for a fresh experience, this mod might just revitalise your gameplay.
