About the Game
Black Myth: Wukong is a mythology-inspired action RPG built around a Journey to the West-style quest.
Black Myth: Wukong is a single-player action role-playing game, and Steam tags it under action, adventure and RPG. You play as a Destined One who sets out to uncover the truth behind a legendary past, and the journey follows the perilous path of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, which the store description names as one of the Four Great Classical Novels. The setting is rooted in Chinese mythology, so the adventure feels both familiar and freshly reimagined.
The core loop centers on combat. The store description emphasizes mastering different staff techniques and freely pairing spells, talents, weapons and armor to find a winning approach that suits your own style. Battles against formidable demons and worthy rivals are a major part of the experience, and the enemies are presented as more than obstacles, with their origins, personalities and motives worth digging into. Between fights, you explore the past lives, loves, hatreds and desires of the characters you meet.
What stands out most is the sense of wonder in the world design. The description points to several Journey to the West locations, each with a distinct look, and it highlights the monsters as one of the great attractions of the source story. Transformations, magic and an array of treasures are described as classic elements of Chinese myth that interact with one another, which gives combat a strong sense of variety. The Steam tags also indicate that the game does not require quick reactions, which makes it a more deliberate action experience than a twitch-focused one.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy action RPGs with deep combat customization and a strong mythological theme will likely get the most out of this game. It suits fans of Journey to the West and Chinese folklore who want a fresh retelling, along with anyone who enjoys experimenting with builds across weapons, spells and gear.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a light, low-pressure experience or who dislike action combat built around choosing and mixing abilities should look elsewhere. Anyone who avoids mature or sensitive content should also skip it, since the store page carries an adult content flag.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam labels Black Myth: Wukong as Overwhelmingly Positive (壓倒性好評), the highest tier of Steam's review labels, with 97% of reviews being positive. The total volume is over a million reviews, which means the rating rests on a very large sample of players rather than a small group of early opinions.
Steam calculates its labels from the share of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a score this high combined with such a large count is a strong signal of broad satisfaction. Small review counts can swing wildly, but at this scale the rating is quite meaningful. It still reflects player opinions rather than a guarantee, so read the recent reviews on the store page to see how the current player base feels.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Black Myth: Wukong is not free to keep right now, and its current price of NT$ 1280 matches its regular price, so it is not on a discount at the moment. We have not recorded any free-to-keep promotion for this title.
Our lowest recorded paid price is NT$ 896, which was reached on the earliest date in our record and represents a 30% discount from the regular NT$ 1280. We have recorded discounts for this game often, so sales are not unusual, and the highest price we recorded is NT$ 1280.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. Buying at the full NT$ 1280 is a reasonable choice if you want to play now, but given how often this title has been discounted, waiting for a sale could save you money. There is no guarantee when the next discount will arrive, so set up wishlist notifications if you prefer to wait.
