Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the latest action role-playing game by Team NINJA, released on PC and consoles a few days back, and it didn't take long for the first few mods to be shared online. Among the mods developed for the newly released game, two ReShade presets are the most interesting, as they bring welcome visual and performance improvements.
The first of these presets is The Way It Should Be preset, which brings shadows improvements, custom anti-aliasing, and LUT. The preset is available in two different variants, a regular version and one to be used in conjunction with Pascal Glicher's Screen-Space Ray Traced Global Illumination shader. Both variants of the preset make the game look considerably better, as showcased in the comparison screenshots below.
The second new Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ReShade preset is the Disable Various Effects preset, which allows users to disable several different effects and visual elements like fog, smoke, leaves and vegetation, particle effects, and so on for increased performance. As the game's PC optimization is far from being the best, this preset is extremely welcome.
It's a shame that the PC version of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is poorly optimized, requiring too many tweaks to run properly, as the game is a solid action role-playing game that fans of the genre will undoubtedly enjoy. Newcomers to the "masocore" genre will also find plenty to like in the new Team NINJA game, as it is much easier to understand and considerably less challenging than previous games from the studio, such as Nioh 2, as I highlighted in my review.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide. The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass for both Xbox consoles and PC.
