Chinese developer Kuro Game is preparing to launch the second closed beta of Wuthering Waves, an action RPG that many have identified as a serious Genshin Impact competitor.
Genshin Impact’s gacha formula has inspired quite a few games, but few have managed to capture the magic quite as effectively as Wuthering Waves.
Wuthering Waves is launching on the PS5 at the perfect time, as its new quests are action packed and its improvements over the likes of Genshin Impact are obvious to appreciate. Its story is unfortunately infested with the worst of gacha game writing, so you’ll need a strong stomach to get through the abundance of proper nouns. But stick with it and you’ll find a beautiful, anime-inspired experience with quality combat, rewarding team building, and hundreds of hours of excellent exploration.
A compilation of the Wuthering Waves January 2025 codes and free rewards players can get before they expire.
People have to stop labelling these games as Genshin competitors. I remember everyone doing the same with Tower of Fantasy which turned out to be trash and nowhere near on par with Genshin. I play the developer's other game Punishing Gray Raven and while it has it's limitations, the combat is top notch. Kuro Games deserves better with this, Wuthering Waves will be a great game, let it shine on it's own merits without the Genshin comparison.
