What To Expect From Wuthering Waves
For those not familiar, Wuthering Waves is a third-person action role-playing gacha game set in an open world. Players take control of the Rover, an amnesiac who has awoken from a deep sleep. They must travel across a post-apocalyptic world to recover their memories, all while defeating evils looking to destroy humanity once more.
When it comes to combat, players will have to rely on their reflexes when playing this game. After all, the game prioritizes a player's twitch-gameplay mechanics, such as dodging and parrying to avoid damage and deliver heavy damage on enemies.
As mentioned above, players will also have to contend with the game's gacha mechanics, spending in-game currency to get various characters, weapons, and more. Thankfully, Wuthering Waves has some quality-of-life measures to prevent frustration in their gacha, such as guaranteed drops in the Weapon gacha.
