Not me, but it's surprisingly popular for reasons I don't quite
understand. It has become the fastest selling game on Steam ever, and
that seems weird to me. Sure, Souls-likes are popular, but they are a
bit more niche than other genres. Neither does "Wukong" seem to be
particularly special; it's not from a big-name developer, it's visuals
and art-style aren't extraordinary, and the gameplay seems fairly
average for the type. The game itself seemed to come out of nowhere
too; there wasn't a lot of pre-release hype about it either. So why
it's selling so well seems weird. It's not that I'm surprised it is
popular... I just don't get why it's so INCREDIBLY popular. Maybe its
links to Chinese mythology is prompting a rush from the Chinese
market?

Having said that, I'm somewhat interested in the game. It doesn't look
like a _bad_ game, and it seems less spirit-numbingly pessimisstic
than most Souls-like games. I wouldn't mind _eventually_ giving it a
try; I'm just not in a rush to play it any time soon. Certainly I've
no intention on paying $60USD for the privilege. Maybe in a year or so
it'll show up on HumbleChoice; I wouldn't be too upset if it did.

Yeah, and my PC hardwares are old so no way.Maybe in a decade when things are cheaper and faster. ;)
