This is an adventure game in the style of comic book Mangas.
The mystical story revolves around finding the "Book of Wisdom" and is based on Chinese
mythology, which was wrapped in Manga-graphics for this game. An opening movie of half
an hour, sometimes animated, tells the story of the Chinese monk Sam Chang. He gets an
order from his emperor to find the Book of Wisdom, which should be found somewhere in
the west. But Chang needs help: before the adventure can start, he must free Wukung
himself. Though the Monkey God isn't eager to go on the voyage, he could be persuaded
by a magic crown. After that, Sam meets two more companions the plump pig-devil Edgar
and a sea monster. Although missions are also necessary to gather these companions, the
squad finally comes together. But not for long. When Wukung returns one day from
getting food, his friends have vanished from the little village where they wanted to
rest and he has to find and rescue them. This is the first time the player takes over
the action. One has to pilot Wukung through the village, collecting some more or less
magical items and solving puzzles. After finding the companions, it's even possible to
choose from the 4 characters in suitable situations of the game. Whoever equates Manga
with violence should be warned: Wukung is child-friendly - the only violence is marginal
and very stylized. In fact Wukung is an adventure for kids and the lovable characters
and the rather easy puzzles show this. |
