This stage introduces Yang Jian. Poorly. The game wants so hard for him to have an introduction cutscene that it stops the gameplay just to have the camera zoom in on him when he first appears. Where the fuck did the budget for this game go? Did they even HAVE a budget?

Odin and Orochi forces are back to being enemies again, making this a 3-way battle against the same people again. We mostly just fight Orochi's forces though. Did you remember that Yoshitsune and Benkei are working for Orochi's forces in this game? I totally didn't and was wondering why the hell they were enemies until I remembered.

I don't particularly like Yang Jian. He's another Journey to the West character and I personally don't care about that one way or the other, but the WO team loves it to death. This will become VERY apparent in a later stage. Yang Jian immediately looks down on humans despite every other Mystic in the game being in full support of them. He turns around on this quick, but we're really treading down old paths here. We already had this plotline covered in WO2 AND WO3, we didn't need ANOTHER Mystic with a stick up their ass.

I give Achilles a go here and play him for majority of the stage. He has the exact same moveset form WO3, except he trades in his R1 attacks for Unique Magic. He has some extra shockwaves on his attacks to give him a bit more range to help him keep up with the newer movesets. Otherwise, he basically has an old DW7-style moveset. That is to say, he only has 1 EX attack, no Air Musou, and no Rage Musou. But he's still pretty fun to play, mostly because I genuinely like Achilles, but his C5 and C6 are particularly satisfying.
