In the awesomely imaginative world of Wuthering Waves, everything revolves around frequencies – and you’re about to tune in! As the amnesiac hero of a planet ravaged by supernatural disasters, lead a squad of swordmasters, gunslingers and martial artists through character-driven quests – and maybe unravel your own mysterious story.

What we love: The exhilarating combat. Switch characters on the fly to perform spectacular elemental attacks, then dodge enemy strikes to unleash crushing counters. Transform into Echoes – the essences of creatures you’ve defeated – to set foes ablaze as a fire-breathing lizard or slam them senseless as a car-size rhinoceros beetle. You’re an animal!

Quick tip: When controlling pistol-packing heroes such as Chixia, hold down the attack button to manually aim your weapon. This lets you target specific enemies in battle; it’s also handy for hunting beasts in the wild.
