The last innovation in combat is Wuthering Waves ‘ echo system, which is sort of a blend between traditional equipment-based abilities and a creature collecting game. Players can collect the Echoes of enemies they defeat in the game and then equip them to a Camellya character (one per unit), which in turn provides stat bonuses and the ability to transform into that echo during a battle to briefly call upon their abilities. We defeated a boss, equipped their Echo, and then used it in the next battle to great effect; it was also pretty cool to occupy the body of an enemy that was fun to fight just minutes bef
Finally, an extremely important item is Sonance Caskets. These are found hidden away in the world, often requiring some keen sight or puzzle-solving to acquire. They can be traded to a Relic Merchant to acquire various other materials – most importantly Astrite , tying back to the most important resource Wuthering Waves has to of

Sonance Casket is a crucial resource in Wuthering Waves . Players can exchange it with a Relic Merchant in Jinzhou city for various rewards. The more you collect, the more the merchant will offer rewards. Luckily, Central Plains has many Sonance Caskets that will surely help Rovers satisfy the Relic Merch
While attending the Game Developers Conference 2024, Screen Rant was able to participate in a hands-on demonstration of a newer build of Wuthering Waves . Following a brief demonstration of mechanics from a member of the Kuro Games team, we were able to play through a brief combat section against a boss, an open-world puzzle, and some exploration of one of the game’s settlements. Make no mistake: this game is unabashedly attempting to capitalize on the space Genshin Impact carved out for the genre years ago. But it does it well enough that it feels like it has its own identity,
When you enter the free-roam state in Wuthering Waves for the first time and open your map, you’ll already see a stamina-type mechanic called Waveplate on the top right.

On top of the in-game currencies, Wuthering Waves features a character progression system tied to gathering materials through combat, challenges, boss fights, and overworld exploration.

**Wuthering Waves ** is the latest effort from developer Kuro Games ( Punishing: Gray Raven ). It’s an action RPG gacha title set to release for iOS, Android, PC, and PlayStation, and borrows heavily from already popular titles within the same space – most obviously Genshin Impact , which it will inevitably draw numerous comparisons to. That’s certainly not a bad place to start, however, and what Wuthering Waves innovates is more than enough to separate it as a game worth watching as it moves closer to a global release following another round of closed beta te

The amount of Wuthering Waves resources available can seem overwhelming at first, but having them broken down into categories – which ones affect Resonator convene attempts, for instance, versus which ones allow for those same Resonators to level up once acquired – is an easy way to make it a little less intimidating. There’s certainly a lot of depth in Kuro Games’ open-world gacha game at launch, which can be both a blessing and a curse . Too much farming of resources can drive players away eventually, while too little feels like content is a little bar
That’s an encouraging sign for a fledgling live service game that has to compete for time with well-established titles in the same space. I’m optimistic Wuthering Waves can entice players early – there’s enough variation in its game world, its compelling combat systems, and it’s another open-world ARPG with an exciting hook – but launch will certainly be a make-or-break time for the game. **Overall, the hands-on experience with the game definitely cements the fact that Wuthering Waves is a game to watch and an exciting design within the action RPG gacha ecosystem
