Instead of ambrosia to grant more health, you’ve got Xi Rang. It doesn’t take long at all to start finding reskins of the same gear. Ku can also find new gear in chests that function just like Fenyx’s, although there’s not much of it. Most things look the same as the base game, save for the fact that the architecture is different. It’s weird as hell to fight gorgons with slightly different faces while the game pretends they’re not just gorgons. Only, they’ve been mildly reskinned to look like they’ve come from Chinese mythology instead of Greek mythology. 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. New gameplay mechanics and features such as morph cubes, clouds, bamboo, wind controller, and air rings will be available too, as well as the new abilities that players can unlock, including Nuwa’s Agility, Blades of Huang Di, and the Axe of Yan Di.One gaming curiosity that always fascinated me was games that were identical, yet had new art thrown on top of something else. Those who love puzzles will have a lot of content to enjoy in this post-launch adventure, as they will have their wit, agility, and logic challenged by the puzzles found in the Ruins of Heaven. Not unusual for a Ubisoft open-world game, the world in Myths of the Eastern Realm remains true to its cultural origins and features a Chinese architectural style with tall, jagged peaks found in traditional Chinese scrolls and art. The Chinese-themed adventure is full of legendary Chinese deities and, more importantly, players will battle new enemies using a unique fighting style based on Chinese martial arts. Players take the role of Ku, as he tries to help the goddess Nuwa restore the fractured sky and save humanity. Myths of the Eastern Realm is inspired by a popular Chinese myth called Nuwa Mends the Heavens. Also, for those who don't have the game yet, Ubisoft released a demo that's now available on all platforms mentioned earlier. The second narrative DLC for Immortals Fenyx Rising, Myths of the Eastern Realm, is now available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
