Wuthering Waves

What the player actually does

Wuthering Waves is a third-person, story-rich open-world action RPG. You play as Rover, an amnesiac who wakes from a deep slumber in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world shaped by the Lament. Exploration is tied to Rover's effort to understand this changed world and reclaim lost memories, alongside a cast of Resonators.

Combat is fast-paced and action-focused. The supplied details specifically highlight Extreme Evasion and Dodge Counter, so timing evasions and responding to attacks are central considerations. After defeating monsters, you can absorb what remains of them and use their power in later battles. The setting includes Tacet Discords, unknown beings and monsters that appeared after the Lament.

Who will enjoy it

• Players looking for an open-world RPG with a science-fiction and fantasy setting.
• People who prefer third-person action combat over a slower, purely menu-driven RPG approach.
• Players interested in a story centered on an amnesiac protagonist exploring a rebuilt post-apocalyptic civilization.
• Those who want the option of single-player and co-operative modes.
