Wuthering Waves Looks AMAZING (Gameplay Reaction) 

If I have one request and one request only, please avoid putting videogames up for battle in the comments. This game isn't "GENSHIN KILLER" and shouldn't be treated that way. 2 great videogames can co-exist and you can happily play one, both or neither, there's no reason to be negative about another game cos one looks better to you! If anything I hope this game shines in the combat department and provides a little competition to the gacha market, looking forward to giving it a try!

Genshin and Wuthering Waves, its like my balance life. Chilling in Genshin, sweating in Wuthering Waves😂. its just balancing me. Both are just great games😆👍

from the combat and boss fight designs alone, i trust kuro more than anyone else since that is their expertise when it comes to other elements like world-building or lore, only time can tell if they can pull that off decently or not

The story in PGR is actually insane (and insanely dark) so I'm expecting the same here. I'm curious how their storytelling in 3D will look like though, since it's mostly text-based in PGR, although seeing how the random little cutscenes during the boss fight look... I'm expecting their story cutscenes to be just as insane^^

oh HELL YA.

I just realized, at 10:32 there was a burst timer above HP bars, this shows how long that the burst duration in the game. Oh nice!

Apologies if someone's already said this: The 'sound wave' you saw is a reaction between wind element and light There are dark, light, wind, fire, lightning and ice and they have different reactions to each other. Wind + light creates a field that slows down time If you see the little hovering emblem by each of the characters, when it fills up and you attack an enemy you apply your element to them and swapping to another character whose element can react, it'll do a special thing c: It's called a concerto effect if I remember correctly It's a very sound based game so lots of things about sound, like the summons being called 'echoes', the scar's on 'Resonators(the playable characters)' being called Forte marks and the previously named Concerto Effect I believe the echoes is also your artifact set, one to summon and four as equipment, with each character able to summon their own echo. I'd recommend checking out their discord if you're more curious, or you could wait for the CBT showcase coming on the 14th

I am a fan of Kuro, I've been playing their game PGR since it came out on global. 100% recommended to check it out, especially newer bosses and characters, they look so sick. So Kuro has my full trust. I just really hope they will do this game justice and people will give it the attention it deserves, not as a Genshin clone but as its own amazing game. FUTURE JIYAN MAIN HERE THAT GUY IS TOO HOT AND COOL IN THE SAME TIME Side note - the first boss we see in the second video is supposed to be a tutorial boss. They changed his design and showed off his attacks in Developer's notes and his name is Crownless, I would recommend to check it out, it's really cool. Also, it's definitely a boss that will make some more casual players rage-quit lol

Seeing wuthering waves, along with the concept of absorbing the enemies you defeat and turning in to them, this intense combat style, reminds me of a LOT of what was shown in Black Myth WuKong, so now I'm equally hyped for BOTH.

I really am interested in this game. Like you I’m too invested in Genshin’s story to drop the game, but having this game to also play on the side that looks as polished as this one is very much welcome. I tried tower of fantasy… but it did not feel as polish as both Genshin and Wuthering when they first released their first trailers.

Wuthering Waves is definitely my most anticipated game right now! I'm really hoping that it would feel like a mix of dmc and darksouls because I would love it to be hard. Also, I think the story will also be good, since pgr also had a great story in my opinion.

I'm obsessed with the aesthetics of this game it looks absolutely stunning. It looks very much like a ruined world (reminds me of stuff like the divergent books) and the character animations look so much better than in the previous videos. I have very high hopes for darker story themes and hopefully challenging endgame

Thanks for giving time and effort in analyzing WuWa. I am excited to see more of the combat system since i sooooo love the one in PGR.

I saw the video too several days ago, and I'm hyped too! It looks so clean. ✨ I'm not into most of the characters yet though, plus dystopian stories, but I'm willing to wait for this.

You're the only one noticed that floating dragon or something out of all the WW reactions I've watched. Niceeee.

I am super excited for this game, definitely one to keep an eye on

I’m looking forward to Wuthering Waves! I’ve been playing PGR for a year and half now and I tell you, it took awhile to to get that dodging and parry mechanics down 😂😂 More skill is needed for dodging but the difficulty is fun! I honestly recommend you give PGR a try. The story starts a bit slow but it gets really good as you continue and Chapter 17: The Surviving Lucem, AHHHHH!

Seems like this has been in the works for ages, I'm all about it!

You should read up the Crownless dev log, which is the tutorial boss at the start of your adventure

i look forward to bran playing this game !

I just hope they keep consistent with the quality of content. It have incredible potential in my opinion.

I just hope that the community of this game is as good as the PGR community, which is very respectful to the developers and tends to avoid drama and only cares about fixing skill issues. There are always bad apples in every community, but I have to admit, that the PGR community is one of the friendliest gacha game communities I know. I hope that's also the case in Wuthering Waves.

Thank you Bran for not calling this a Genshin killer. I seen clickbait CC saying this and it's pretty annoying :/. Good to see you're hyped up!

been following up with this game since the first trailer im already registered bc im excited!!!!

This Game Does feel very Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for this one it feels like it'll be a Sleeper until people actually try it

cannot wait for it! 🥺

11:11 what u just saw was a concerto effect (it's an elemental reaction) and this particular effect slows the enemy down imagine it like PGR's QTE. The elements in this game are light, dark, wind, fire, ice, and lightning but it may have different names for them and there's certain requirements that must be met to trigger concerto effects

It feels so smooth and so fast! gonna go and register lol

I'm so excited for this game! I would definitely play it. I actually like that there are similarities with the environment but more darker and apocalyptic. The characters and skills are so cool~ Genshin combat is about elemental reaction and Wuthering Waves seems to be more on summons, shapeshift and cool combat

Game itself looks amazing. Great character (playable or even boss) design, open world, amazing music and animations, very unique yet feels very familiar. Kuro games is doing an amazing job and I honestly cannot wait to see more from Wuthering Waves, it looks extremely promising. Huge DMC vibes aswell, which is just a huge plus. Definitely will have a dark story, since you know.. PGR.. Whenever it comes out I'm immediately getting it

I just pre-registered and I can't wait for this thing to drop, that was f****** fire

For the PGR whale thing it's 100% true. F2P can still get very far, and the systems are good enough to where you can at least experience all the S characters. But fights are mostly dictated by the mechanic understandings, battle patterns, and precision of defeating enemies quickly. Whales compete in their own top 1% brackets in things like Pain Cage and Warzone. Norman War is still for example mald city for whales, and I think that's the only "pay to win" kind of aspect since modifiers are so hard, and scaling is so big that spending drastically helps, but spending alone will never solve your problem. There are many people who dedicate hours on completing the hardest difficulty things all f2p though, the game doesn't screw around with high level combat experiences.

Im keeping an eye on this game

I am already impressed! It looks and feels like PGR with open world elements that look very promising. I hope that it will get released on PC or PS4/5 and not only mobile. I really like PGR and everýthign about that gaem, its very F2P friendly and the starting characters are really good and so far it looks to be the same with WW. The combat looks fun and so smooth just like the whole game. PGR is getting better which every update and I expect only the best from WW :) I will definitely watch Brans stream from WW if he does stream it.

You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. I have this stupid smile on my face that I've been chasing since DMC5 and this has the cyber synth vibe, too?! I'm _hard_

Hey Bran, i dont know if you've already seen pgr's abystigma and crimson weave gameplay, if you havent yet, i hope you could, it could give you a rough idea on how difficult their bosses could get, amd you could also see how cool their characters could get. Also about elements, if its going to be like pgr, elements doesnt have reactions, rather, characters synergizes with other characters. Like, if you have a dark element dps, there might be dark support characters that can shred dark resistance

I really love games like Genshin and I don't complain because I started playing Genshin because people said it's Breathe of Wild and I am also into Legend of Arceus because of these two games. So instead of comparing ( like some of them do) saying that Genshin Killer I rather say it's not and I'm happy there are games where I can play another after playing Genshin when resins are out ❤️❤️

This is so cool, and as a PGR player im only waiting for 2 things in this game the the hard/ fun bosses and the music of Vanguard studio. Can't wait for the boss rooms get filled with "Git Gud" / "Skill issue" messages using that dark souls messaging system.

Pumped for you to share and see this

i can't wait for it!

Ever since PGR came out I hoped they would come out with an open world game and this honestly exceeded my expectations😭 The muted colour scheme looks so good and suits the theme!!! I’m also so glad they passed the high speed and complex fighting style from PGR to Wuthering Waves. Love to see another content creator just as hyped as many of us❤

Same, actually I prefer the color on WW because it doesn't make my eyes tired, if it's too colorful it's also a bit difficult to enjoy the fight because the screen is covered with color effects, actually like i prefer youtube or discord with dark theme than light thene

This game looks absolutely stunning, and from the colour tone it's just screaming a depressing story, and dang the combat, beautiful

the battle looks so smooth omg 👀👀 and it looks like they combined nier's gliding and monster hunter rise's wirebug for easier mobility on the overworld, which is great. the running up walls remind me of kh3. while I love a good platformer challenge, it gets tiring when you just want to reach a high point (esp if you just need to get there for commissions lmao) Hopefully the map would be filled with points of interest like genshin haha looking forward to sinking time into this game when it comes out.

I'm actually hoping they'd use the dragonfly mechanic to introduce cool stuff like travelling inside some volcano and actually seeing some huge ass monster underground. It'll be a horrifying, thrilling, and cool experience.

I'm glad it's going to come out

So I'm not a gamer, genshin is my first videogame I've taken seriously and I only watch genshin content from some youtubers but mainly you since you're my favourite content creator. But DANM I would religiously watch you play this game (if you decide to do so). It looks dope as hell ESPECIALLY the combat, but I'm interested to know the lore as well

It stands on its own, and hopefully it gives Genshin lots of competition. The combat and traversal alone look fantastic. Running up walls (in almost any direction it seems), grappling on demand (even in combat), and the ability to double jump. Exploration abilities aren't tied to characters. Same as some mechanics too, perfect parrying and perfect dodging seem to be part of all characters' kits. There's also an elemental system called "Concerto" but I THINK it's more to do about switching in characters of different elements that react together to do powerful attacks or effects on the switch. On top of that you can change into enemies you absorbed to do special attacks, the echo system I think it's called. There's also a message system like the Souls games where you leave messages on the ground for other players. Kuro games are killing it. It looks amazing. And yeah you can't whale your way through PGR. You need to actually know how to play. Plus PGR has a system that can bring lower rank characters up to higher ranked. While the normally higher ranked characters are still stronger even on that same level, lower ranked characters that you focus on will always be useful. Kuro has a policy with PGR where they treat each character with care.

i love the music holy shit

This seems promising! I too share the opinion that Wuthering Waves doesn't seem like a copy of Genshin. The combat system seems cool af and I'm excited to play a new game alongside Genshin.

I watch this on stream already and watching it here too. This game looks promising.

i love the parry and counter attack system

FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT ECHOES ARE LEGIT 0 REACTION VIDS FROM GENSHIN STREAMERS UNDERSTOOD OOH I'M SO HAPPY

Here from a couple weeks or so in the future, there are reactions and elements

Can someone remind me what the name of the song at the start that was playing in the background I just can’t remember for the life of me

I cant wait till i can play it. I already love genshin style open world games, so i KNOW im gonna love this

To be honest,you should expect there will be some people compare those two games.Of course I dont want that to happen but its kinda inevitable I guess..

Waiting for this cause Jiyan reminds of Xiao, colorwise and the combat

Holy crap I wanna play this game it looks so cool 😃

I haven’t watched the gameplay myself but thanks Bran now I know. It really reminds me of ToF( tower of fantasy) post apocalyptic vibes are really catch, I enjoy ToF but it became boring and laggy cuz of too many people in your but not your world. I have high hopes for WW I really enjoyed looking at the footage of gameplay , I hope it’ll be out before zzz or much later otherwise I won’t have space for them both 😢

Wait a min what is the bgm during the intro???

idk if anyone answered yet but wuthering waves is both pc and mobile and you can see they are playing the demo on the pc client by the letters also pgr has a pc client coming soon

I will certainly try it but whether I will play for a long time, I don't know

I would like to try this one out but sadly due to my work schedule, I won't be able to focus on it or play it at all, my hands are full with GI and FGO and looking forward to StarRail as well. so many good games coming out, I'll probably just watch streamers who'll play this game, I think Arknights is also planning to make an open world version of their game as well.

Kuro games being it's publisher we can expect some challenging endgame boss fights looking at some boss in PGR.

Bro, PGR isn't available in my country I hope this isn't gonna be the same for Wuthering Waves too.

Will it be on steam? Or will I have to download a launcher from somewhere?

Since you're wondering why people are hyped for this, here are vids to explain why: Lee hyperreal: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6EXerJXU5ws.html Bianca abystigma: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3mIdVm7Cp4o.html Lucia crimson weave: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FTsP1RWJVKY.html

When Genshin first released, a lot of people making fun of Genshin for being a cheap clone of BOTW! And this is happening to Wuthering now. Honestly, these days most if not all modern succesful games take an already existing idea and make it better. And in my opinion (who play Genshin from day 1), Wuthering is nearly identical in many ways with Genshin, which is prety good! Well! i can't wait to try this game. . . Also, for you people who keep saying Wuthering is a Genshin killer, NO! its a rival and competitor for Genshin.

I never really understand why people complain so much about games being similar. Like as long as it's not a complete cheap rip-off that doesn't even try, what's the issue? It just means that we as players don't have to spend time on trying to understand the base mechanics we already know and can instead focus on learning the stuff that's different - which in this game is clearly going to be the combat. So why not be happy instead about being able to focus on that without having to bother with understanding the exploration mechanics? Though personally, I'd love to see the ratio of male to female characters they have planned since that's probably going to be the deciding point for me.

I really really agree with your words and wants to translate and share a clip of your opinion on Wuthering Wave in bilibili. Unprofitable of course.Would that be allowed, Bran?

I can't wait to juggle Genshin, Honkai and Wuthering Waves. I'll have my hands full ;d

What's the song playing at the beginning?

Okay I'm Invested in this game.

Kinda feel vibes of Genshin and ToF here, it stil looks very intresting with this over all darker tone ^^

I left GI, but might play this. As an old pgr veteran.

as a genshin fan, i’m glad this is coming out. competition will be good for genshin

That outro ICANT

If you want to know more about the story there was a story CG trailer released on the official RU-vid channel.

song in the intro?

Sneaky little arrangement of Pokemon B/W's Unwavering Emotions at the beginning, me likey!

Wuthering Waves is in a post apocalyptic world just like PGR. So the colours for the world and everything makes sense and i love it very much

This game is about sound/music that is why everyone has an equalizer. Heck one character forces you to time your attacks to the beat/rhythm. Characters are called Resonators, waves everywhere you can sound parry your enemies. This is Kuro and Vanguard Sound we're talking here and Sound design/music is their forte just as we joke about Hypergryph being a Music Company.

The thing that I like about this game is that the colours look more monotonous. Im gonna have more games to play now but I have to spend more time😭

I am excited to play this but when will it release

It doesn’t need to be colorful, because this isn’t the same story as Genshin. This game seems to have a darker undertone, and to me, this color scheme fits the bill. It seems dystopian, and that’s probably what the story is. Edit: nvm. They already said it. Lol

Narwhal came a lot earlier in pgr, I basically started playing pgr after listening to Narwhal ost in 2021.

Can you react or post ur reaction to the new stuff that dropped recently? :)

I'm not a huge fan of the desaturation, but the combat looks fun! I'll keep my eyes on it.

I don't have time to master the difficult combat man. I would love to play this game 😭

Honaki star rail and Wuthering waves in April! Yess! More fun games for me to play. Exciting! Hopefully Wuthering waves will be in mobile…

The ole Wuthering Raven

One of my most anticipated games in a while hands down. One of my biggest gripes with genshin has ALWAYS been the lack of depth for combat with individual characters. As much as i love the elemental reaction system, the normal attacks barely being used, and only having one skill as well as one burst just alwayd felt lackluster to me. Also the lack of fun mobility was something i had issue with, and it really seems like wuthering waves is going to scratch all of those issues so so well

I really dont understand some ppl hating on genshin impact and wuthering wave both of these games are the best for me genshin impact was the one who hooked me to this genre and hi3 too and now im looking forward to trying WW along side hsr and zzz and the future mihoyo games

from what its looking like its most focused the on field character

U should react to the beta preview

I mean its at best Slightly inspired by Genshin, the only Similaritys are the Ui and that you have multiple characters to Play as.

I can’t wait when the game come out ___do everyone know what make the game more fun : during boss fight play some music in the background it will make your Combat experience exciting fun to play___

Nice a combat fighting game I love combat games as long we don’t get inf combo in the corner by mobs and bosses

This is like my 10th time watching ppl reaction of this game. I'm so hyped for this game it's making me crazy
