It cannot be denied that right from the time of its launch, Wuthering Waves has received countless comparisons to Genshin Impact, and is even expected by many to become a serious competitor of the blockbuster from miHoYo. This is quite understandable when Genshin Impact itself has been the default leading game in the open world gacha genre since it first appeared in 2020. Not disappointing everyone's expectations, Wuthering Waves is extremely booming with a large number of players and also clearly shows its difference from its “predecessor” Genshin Impact.
Accordingly, it is undeniable that the gacha style as well as open world exploration of Wuthering Waves is very similar to Genshin Impact, even the game's map size is similar in size to miHoYo's blockbuster when newly released. However, Kuro Games still has its own trump cards. Wuthering Waves' most noticeable difference comes from its features and gameplay mechanics. First, in terms of exploration, Wuthering Waves is clearly more friendly to gamers when acrobatic and parkour mechanisms have significantly reduced travel time. Players only need to jump twice to use the glider and the ability to run on walls gives Wuthering Waves great mobility, in contrast to Genshin Impact's trademark “climbing” style.
Besides the different movement mechanisms that Wuthering Waves brings, its fighting style is also completely different from Genshin Impact. With Genshin Impact, gamers will focus on teamwork and take advantage of character rotation appropriately, and Wuthering Waves is similar but creates new things. The highlight lies in the parrying mechanism, where enemy attacks can be interrupted with a perfectly timed counterattack, something that only happens with certain characters in Genshin Impact like Beidou or Yunjin. Additionally, there is the Concerto Effects mechanic that provides temporary buffs based on the Elements of the swapped characters.
Above are the biggest differences pointed out by gamers between Wuthering Waves and Genshin Impact. And although it is still proving its success, only time will tell whether Wuthering Waves can reduce Genshin Impact's already huge popularity.
