Know more about GeniGods Nezha
This game is set in a deeply rooted world in Chinese mythology. Players will be playing as legendary deity Nezha, reimagined as a female warrior.
In the story, we will see her evolution from a celestial artifact into a human formed from water and clay. This is before beign reborn as legendary deity Nezha.
Along the trip, players will meet legendary mythological figures like Yi the sun-feller and Yu the flood-tamer, all while being guided by the Heart of Sacred Water, a sentient companion connected to the goddess Nüwa.
The combat in this game is described as fast, fluid, and cinematic. The developers have also clearly stated that this is not a Soulslike.
Instead, the fans can compare this to God of War 3, with large-scale boss fights and more. Players will be able to face bosses in any order, akin to Mega Man, while upgrading abilities and completing side objectives from a central hub location.
There will be dual stances and players will be able to switch between ground and aerial combat. You will have mythic abilities and mythic treasures for unique abilities. The combat embodies Bruce Lee’s “Be Water” philosophy
Conclusion
This will be a traditional single-player action RPG game, no gacha mechanics, no live service elements, and no multiplayer options.
The main campaign of GeniGods Nezha is expected to last around 25 hours, with roughly 50 hours needed for full completion and Platinum trophies.
Despite early progress, the game still has a long way to go before release. The studio is targeting 2028 release.
