He starts with all of his skills unlocked and gets the same godly powers, except two of these are improved via collecting jade coins instead of Charon coins from challenges. Ku has all the same abilities as Fenyx, only they’re named after Chinese gods instead of Greek ones. It’s not hyperbolic to say that I felt like I was just playing a tiny version of that game. It’s exactly like it was in Immortals Fenyx Rising proper. Once again, Myths of the Eastern Realm allows players to explore areas to find challenges, collectibles, and activities. You just walk up to an entrance and then fight the boss immediately after. The basic gist is that you’ll do those two quest lines and then, once more, climb a snowy mountain to fight a final boss. These are roughly equivalent to the missions you did to free the Greek gods. Both Nuwa and Gong Gong have short questlines containing a few missions. There are two areas: one that looks like the greener areas of the Golden Isles, and another that looks like War’s Den. Structurally, it’s only partially accurate to say that Myths of the Eastern Realm is similar to the base game. Everything I enjoyed about the base game’s story is almost completely absent. Then there’s Gong Gong, a warrior with practically no personality. As in, she’s the mother goddess and considers Ku a child, so she acts like a stereotypical mom. Instead of filling the gaps with interesting character moments, there are a lot of mom jokes. The narrative has next to no stakes and hardly anything of note happens. ![]() Ku is brainless, arrogant, and devoid of interesting character traits. ![]() Unlike the base game, which had a varied, colorful cast of characters and a ton of jokes, Myths of the Eastern Realm is dull and boring. She works with Ku to find a way to repair a cracked mountain to make the realm of Heaven safe again. If you’re not familiar with her, she is the creator of humanity. Initially, the only being Ku can find is Nuwa, the mother god in Chinese mythology. Beginning much like Immortals Fenyx Rising itself, Ku awakens to realize that a nearby mountain is possessed by some wicked energy and that everyone around him has been turned to stone. Unlike before, you have no control over Ku’s sex or appearance. Myths of the Eastern Realm trades out previous hero Fenyx with a character named Ku. This is a fairly blatant revisit of a game you’ve already played, but worse. I had some high hopes for the second Immortals Fenyx Rising DLC, Myths of the Eastern Realm, but there’s practically nothing new here to see. It’s usually done when there are licensing issues, but not always (think Super Mario Bros. Same controls and gameplay, but different level design and graphics. Think how a video game based on the Magical Hat anime became Decap Attack. Players are tasked with the challenge of assisting goddess Nuwa in restoring the sky and humanity by defeating enemies through a new fighting style and abilities inspired by Chinese martial arts.One gaming curiosity that always fascinated me was games that were identical, yet had new art thrown on top of something else. Immortals Fenyx Rising’s second DLC, Immortals Fenyx Rising – Myths of the Eastern Realm, is available on all platforms on March 25 and introduces a new hero, Ku, who enters an all new mystical world at the frontier of Sky and Earth.

Good luck!Ībout Immortals Fenyx Rising – Myths of the Eastern Realm Some of the stuff felt a bit repetitive considering it is more or less a different story, told in the same way. I also tend to take my time with games like these, making sure to collect it all and not miss a single thing. ![]() Overall, the second DLC took about five hours to complete, which I would guess is average. That being said, it is also just as gorgeous to look at, and I had a blast exploring the lands while embarking on “new” quests. It was nice to find a way to continue playing this game, even it is extremely similar to the original game. While the gameplay and storyline itself feels very familiar, I did enjoy the new surroundings. In this extension of the game, players will experience a similar game, but with a new location and new protagonist - this time set in Chinese mythology. ![]() Immortals Fenyx Rising has a new DLC titled Myths of the Eastern Realm and this is one you don’t want to miss!Īs a huge gamer and a massive fan of Immortals Fenyx Rising, I was very excited for the second of three planned DLC’s, Myths of the Eastern Realm.
