Historically, Soulslike games have favored “trial by error” systems that encourage you to explore (or avoid) certain areas based on how quickly you die in them. Even in its early stages, though, Wo Long‘s Morale system accomplishes a few key things.įirst off, it lets players know roughly where they stand in relation to certain enemies. To be honest, it’s a little too early to say whether or not that system will remain engaging/balanced over the course of the full game. Do you know how you can sometimes get caught up by a basic enemy’s surprise attack pattern in Dark Souls? Well, imagine that same enemy getting a little bit stronger each time it catches you off-guard. Not only does that mean that already tough bosses can become tougher each time you die to them, but even basic enemies can become bigger hurdles over time. To make matters worse, enemies can actually raise their own Morale levels by killing you. Specifically, it seems like it’s lowered to match your current Fortitude rating whenever you die (though I’m a little hazy on that part of the system at this time). Indeed, those with high enough Morale levels may start to feel like an unstoppable force of nature capable of tearing through many foes with relative ease.īefore you start feeling too confident, though, you should know that your Morale level will be reset each time you die. Get that Morale level high enough, and you’ll become significantly more powerful. As you defeat enemies and discover key locations, your Morale level will rise. However, Morale levels can change through the course of play. If their Morale is lower than your own, though, then the fight should be “fair” or even in your favor. If you encounter an enemy that has a much higher Morale level than you, then you will have a harder time defeating them. In its most basic form, that Morale level represents a character’s general strength/difficulty.
In Wo Long, every character (meaning you and your enemies) has a Morale level.
