Eastern Hero’s Epic

The story of Wukong tells more than Wukong himself. The monkey is the lead for sure, but he is still a small part of the whole vivid world. There are plenty of intriguing characters and thought-provoking dialogues in Journey to the West, not to mention the darkness veiled.

We applaud when Wukong defeats those so-called “villains”, but who are they indeed? Why do they go against our heroes? Cunning fairies, brutal monsters, amorous lords or coward gods… We are curious about their fear and love, good will and hatred, obsessiveness and daily life.

In virtue of high quality graphics, sufficient details, immersive combats and great storyline, we are able to build that Eastern fantasy world alive in our heart. This is a wide wild romantic world, suffused with fancy and mystery, yet still seems truly existing.
