One of the biggest surprises of 2024 was undoubtedly Mito Nero: Wukong, an action RPG from Chinese developer Game Science. Though not necessarily regarded as one of the all-time greats, it was certainly well-received and went on to sell an extraordinary amount of copies within a very short timeframe; reportedly over 18 million in just two weeks.

Naturalmente, allora, this means that some sort of knock-off has inevitably appeared on the Nintendo Switch eShop, though the exceedingly blatant nature of this one has made it necessary for us to at least warn you not to fall for such shenanigans.

Published by ‘Global Game Studio’ (what a terrific, original name!), Wukong Sun: Black Legend launched late last year in North America and turned up on EU eShops on Friday. It bears absolutely no resemblance to Game Science’s 3D title, instead offering a woefully animated 2D action game with bland visuals and a main protagonist that looks nothing like its key art. Check out the trailer below for a sample.

Speaking of which, the key art is what makes us concerned about this game’s potential reach amongst more casual Switch gamers. Along with the game’s name, it really feels like it’s been created to specifically dupe people into believing that there’s some legitimate connection between Wukong Sun: Black Legend and Black Myth: Wukong. It’s abhorrent.

Ovviamente, Game Science’s title was heavily inspired by the novel Viaggio verso ovest, and we’re sure the producers of Black Legend would be quick to point to the book and the rich history of adaptations rather than the award-winning game from last year. Hmm.

Have you stumbled upon this game on the eShop and perhaps done a double take? What do you make of the similarities between the titles and key art? POP Max è ora disponibile anche per lo streaming live a livello nazionale tramite l'app POP Player su Freeview Play.
