Good Article. Nice to see IGN doing an article on SFT :)
yes, that IGN article was very well done. Good to see!
I'm especially looking forward to Zaku, as well.
It's a little disappointing that there isn't more discussion about Legend of Wukong from people playing it. Are people playing it?..
I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
I think Melf mentions it in his review, but you can't even try to get though the first dungeon (tunnel), until level 7 or so.
Some of the enemies will really wipe you out quick if you're lackadaisical about healing or trying to conserve magic. I do sort-of have to take issue with some bosses casting 180 damage "Poison Cloud" in two consecutive turns - that'll end your game real quick if not at max HP.
So then, I'm actually stuck. And I know I'm going to be embarrassed for missing the solution once it is pointed out.
this really shouldn't be much of a spoiler but I'll tag it anyway:
I need to obtain the perfume from Lama Mt.
The guard asks for the combined age of the three village elders.
The elders in Pinales and Bamboo village are straight forward, but I can't find an elder in Turtle Village
It seems I've spent hours checking and rechecking everywhere and everyone, but can't find the answer.
Any help?
:?::daze::?:
Yeah, LOW is pretty hard at the start. I didn't beat the first demon until I was over level seventeen.
Thanks!Quote:

After expecting to find the Elder for Plum Village in Pinales Village, I dismissed the lady talking about the birthdays as just a red herring.
I was also reluctant to run around much more in the overworld because it seems my levels are getting too high (Wukong & Pigsy at 35 and Wijing at 31) the past couple dungeons were relatively easy with 2 or 3 party members fully stocked with health items.
Yeah, I'm going to try to play a little more brazenly now that I have lots of magic to spare.Quote:

I've beaten this game now, and I must say I'm quite a bit disappointed with it, although it gave me some fun.
The first screenshots released gave me an impression of a colourful and varied game, but unfortunately it was just a tip of the iceberg. The few tilesets are repeated over and over again, with some paletteswaps here and there. At the end of the game, even some dungeons and towns are EXACTLY the same as previous ones, including the final boss cave which was played just awhile back. That must be even lazier than not making "seasonal graphics" as one NPC stated. Since the dungeons are so simplistic, I think this was a really bad point. The good stuff are the characters. In battles, they are big and animated, look pretty well although they have black outlines. There are very many monsters and all have one attack animation. They aren't superb pixel art, but their variety make up for it.
The battles get pretty tiresome after a while. There are only two enemy attacks (!!!) in the game (regular hit and Poison Cloud) and ALL bosses uses the EXACT same strategy (Use Mega Heal early, attack with aforementioned attacks) (!!!). As the game progresses, it just becomes easier, because healing from poison is less expensive and you have more MP. I managed to beat the final boss in three rounds without any heal, just the best magic attacks.
The sound isn't very good. It sounds like it belongs on the NES. The instruments are weak and the tunes are very repetitive and few in numbers. I only liked maybe 2-3 of them. There aren't many sound effects, but those there are OK at best.
The story didn't really give me a hunger for more of the Journey to the West (which I assumed the game was based on, but it appears only the name and the three characters have any similarity to it). It was mostly a tour of killing evil demons in every land you came to. The character dialogue is interesting and sometimes funny, but Wukong's cockiness (extremely similar to the one of the Beggar Prince protagonist) in the beginning was very unfitting (if I was teleported back in time and meet monsters, I would be scared, not arrogant). Pigsy was probably my favourite character, he had some fun jokes here and there. NPC interaction was quite lame, sometimes they just said "Hello" or something completely rubbish. I think they could have worked harder on that, most stuff they said was pretty useless unfortunately.
The funniest part about the game was the gameplay itself. Search around for items and characters needed in side-stories, exploring for dungeons and towns and building up the characters. That was what really kept me playing the game. It has some old school feel to it, although quite far from Beggar Prince.
It was good this game was almost bug-free, unlike that aforementioned game. One problem I found was the possibility to use the "Life Restore" spell on yourself when you are fainted. That shouldn't be. Another thing was that if you selected Strike->Multiple on the upper-most enemies, the characters tended to attack other enemies instead. Not a big problem, but shouldn't be there either anyway.
I give Legend of Wukong 5/10. It is an okay game and a new release for the Mega Drive, but unfortunately nothing more. There are many better RPGs on the system and Beggar Prince is one of them. If you aren't a diehard fan of the console like me, and have no Super Fighter Team games, I would go with that one first.
Hello !
I'm stuck in Legend of Wukong. I'm in the begening of Chapter 2 and I don't know how to go to Lion City.
I visited all the villages around me, and i think i must defeat the monster who is near the river (in the north), but i can't find him.
I defeated the monster in the south-west cave, but it didn't helped me very much.
Please, help me :D
Sorry for the spoil, but i didn't find the commande to put some text in "spoil" (black on black).
Bonjour, ObsoleteTears !
Welcome to our forum!
Lion City is hidden between the mountains. To visit the city you must go northeast around the trees. This is the area closer to the bottom of the map.Quote:

Good luck.
No problem. The question wasn't about a 'secret' thing.Quote:

I hate to turn this into a walkthrough thread, but I'm stuck again:sweat:Quote:

I also wanted to comment on Zebbe's post, but have been waiting until I finished the game also. He states some valid points, but I have to take issue about the music, I think it is very fitting and hasn't seemed annoying to me one bit, and is certainly on par with good first gen 16-bit BGM. I feel the graphics are very nice as well. My only complaint is the lack of strategy and variety to the fights here in the later half of the game.
So anyhow, I've been lost in Chapter 6 for far too many hours.
At the start of the chapter, there are four "destinations" that I seem to have access to:
Baidi City: where a guy tells a strange rhyme about Seven Spider Cave
unnamed cave directly to the north that is blocked by a boulder
"spider mirage" is blocking the northern route
Demon Valley cave is accessible, but I have explored it at least 5 times over and not turned-up a demon as expected.
what's a Wukong to do?
Hello.
I'm always happy to answer questions.Quote:

So you're saying it is on par with the Revenge of Shinobi soundtrack? I agree that Wukong's tunes fits the game, but the sound production is very far from most early MD games in quality, just listen carefully to each of the three battle theme instruments.Quote:
