The title was designed specifically for Chinese audiences, but thanks in part to it’s large success in the Chinese market it has been brought to the western audiences. The title is very nicely animated and completed. However, while it is a very cute title the endless runner market has no shortage of cute runners.

It Ubisoft Chengdu has added some new experiences, such as quick time events and boss battles. Characters and the story are supposedly faithful to the famous “Journey to the West.”
