The story takes place throughout multiple chapters, each set in a different, fantastical realm. Your journey begins at Black Wind Mountain. This is pretty linear as you learn ropes, but exploration opens quickly with various paths, optional battles, NPC encounters, and even side quests to pursue.

You’ll need to explore a bit to find them and perhaps get better equipment or level up more to survive, but otherwise they can lead to some interesting discoveries.

stance

Wukong relies only on one weapon throughout the game, but there are three available stances each specialized for different techniques. The first smash is a shorter distance. The second pillar stance is more defensive and provides extended range. And the final thrust stance offers even more range. Apart from the various combos, each stance is also defined by a heavy attack. For example, the heavy Pillar Stance allows you to climb to the staff. This is great for avoiding attacks and making powerful attacks on release. In comparison, Smash Stance allows you to charge heavy attacks while moving. Each stance has its own skill tree, which can further improve the technique. It also unlocks counterattack options depending on the stance that is equipped.

As you progress, options will become available to increase your maximum focus.

Rather than lasting for a while like other transformations, they are blowers, offering a wide range of attacks and passive benefits. Along with transformation, it provides a pathway to use a variety of weapons outside of staff.

Armor set and weapons

True action RPG fashion, Woocon It offers a variety of armor sets and weapons throughout the game, with a variety of rarities and passives.
