That's quite long. For this type of game I expect 20 to 40 hours, depending on the player skills.


I hope it doesn't get too repetitive.

Depends on if it's engaging to play. I'd like to hear more about what elements the game derives from Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and Ninja Gaiden.

If it's boring then it's too long. If it's engaging then that's a nice length.

I watched that gameplay video and I don’t think I have the stamina to listen to those metallic weapon clashing sounds for 60 hours, I'm already exhausted

Between 20 and 30 hours with good replay value is usually ideal for this sort of game. Look at Nioh 2. It's pre release beta was fantastic but it was like I saw most of the good stuff in that short part of the game. The quality didn't hold up over the full game and I'd seen every enemy type long before the end.

I wonder what inspirations they’re drawing from Ninja Gaiden here? To me, Wuchang looks more along the lines of a faster-paced Wu Long Dynasty or Black Myth Wukong, especially with the focus on one-on-one engagements, parrying, and a stamina bar.

Ninja Gaiden is frenetic, combo focused, mob focused (outside of boss encounters), and relentless in how the enemies pursue you. And, in the case of Ninja Gaidens 2 and 3: Razor’s Edge, focus a lot more on offensive gameplay rather than defensive.

Maybe in terms of the overall flair and flash, but I’m not immediately getting “Ninja Gaiden” from the gameplay shown here.
 
It must be a soulslike with mythological Chinese themes. That would explain its length, which is too much for a linear or semilinear game like GOW or Stellar Blade.

It's amazing to me all these new Ninja Gaiden fans who are just now learning that the 3D Ninja Gaiden is such a good game, but I knew when I bought the Halo green see thru Xbox and Ninja Gaiden back in 2004.

That is how far you are behind.

Wuchang is going to be elite. Maybe you will realize that in less than 21 years this time.
