While combat was a showcase of improvements and innovations, the brief amount of open world traversal/hub navigation available in the hands-on indicates that Wuthering Waves exploration will be a solid bedrock of what already works in the genre. Grappling hooks, gliders, and sprinting were all options, and each was implemented smoothly. There’s also a parkour system that lets characters run up walls/cliffsides, which is a nice touch and an improvement on the slow climb other titles tend to h
As you progress to the mid and late game, you’ll unlock various special combat mechanics like Tacet Field or Tactical Hologram on the map. You can’t teleport to these, so you’ll have to go to a nearby resonance beacon and make your way to them. However, these locations have some first-time clear rewards for
One other important Wuthering Waves resource is ore – found in the various rocks that look suspiciously interactable during exploration. Smashing these rocks inevitably yields different types of ore, which is a unique type of resource most important in weapon crafting and ascension. Because weapons play such a vital role in character builds, keeping an eye out for ore is also advised while traveling around the
Even during the brief hands-on – and during conversation with the Kuro Games representative present during the hands-on – it became clear that Wuthering Waves has big plans for launch. There’s a wide array of content immediately available, and when I asked about post-launch plans, there wasn’t a concrete answer but an obvious indication it’s something that’s already a consideration. There’s also the fact that the team has been so readily willing to listen to player feedback. A lot of the improved elements present in this hands-on and the second closed beta are a direct result of players’ complaints from the first round of testing, with some pretty drastic redesigns already made in respo
This weapon is good if you are running a third damage-dealer instead of Verina or Baizhi and need healing, but its damage output is severely limited, especially when compared to the above 4 and 5-star weap

Slow content rollouts can be disheartening, but it’s far more damning to be resource-lite once players reach a given patch’s end-game, as farming and character leveling become a higher priority towards account completion. It will be interesting to see where Wuthering Waves ** lands a few months from now, but for now, it’s got plenty of resources to keep Rovers busy
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.

Combat also feels snappy and responsive in Wuthering Waves 2.0 Waves , with well-made character movement a crucial element of the flow of battle. Dodges felt especially pinpoint and rewarding, and combat also features a parry system where a unit can time their attack to respond to an enemy’s vulnerability indicator during their own lunge – doing so results in damage and a stagger that can set up the next chain of a combo. The hands-on was a little too short to really go in-depth on these systems so it’s difficult to ascertain exactly how the interplay between dodging, parrying, and swapping units really flows, but what was on display felt intuitive and

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
