A fan of Black Myth: Wukong has created a pixel version of the game (well, only chapter 1 so far) for PC and Android devices, giving us a nostalgic spin on the original’s stunning visuals and combat. Developed by 火山哥哥, the free-to-play demo captures the charm of retro gaming pretty well.

Introduce about Black Myth Wukong 2D
Black Myth: Wukong is probably one of the biggest games of the year so far - and it still continues to inspire fan creations. One fan, 火山哥哥 (machine translates to Volcano brother) decided to take that experience into an entirely different direction, creating a 2D pixel demo of the game. While the original game is all about stunning visuals and engrossing combat, this pixel adaptation taps into the nostalgia of old-school gaming, similar to classics like Double Dragon.
The creator, obviously a passionate fan, clearly worked hard to bring this retro version to life, even staying up all night to fix bugs for the initial 0.1b release. The best part? It’s available for free on PC and Android here (you will have to make an account/log in to download the files), and the community is already diving in, sharing their own gameplay experiences and offering feedback. In the video posted on bilibili.com, the dev explains how he coded various aspects of the game. So far, he has only developed chapter 1 of Black Myth: Wukong (see our benchmarks for the game here), and we can see him fighting Elder Jinchi, the first secret area boss in the game.

This version may not have the jaw-dropping graphics of the original, but it offers something special—a simple, nostalgic take on Wukong's epic adventure. And for those who miss the days of pixelated side-scrollers, it’s a neat little throwback to an era of gaming many people still hold close to their hearts.
