Kuro Games' brand spankin' new ARPG Wuthering Wavesꦍ launched this week to a familiar din of protest related to performance issues like extreme lag, frame-rate dips, crashes, and in some cases, overheated devices. Kuro was quick to issue a statement as well as an "emergency patch" aimed at the worst of these issues, but now it's gone a step further and is straight-up offering some pretty rare gifts as compensation.

were giving Metal Gear Solid 4 a run for its money. It's worth noting that Genshin Impact didn't and still doesn't have skippable cutscenes.

As for the peace offerings, Kuro is giving all Wuthering Wa𒆙ves players 10 Radiant Tides and one free 5-star Standard Resonator voucher "as a token of gratitude for your support." In case it w𓆉asn't already clear, 5-star Resonators are the rarest characters in the game, meaning players can start straight away with a character that should stay viable for a very long time.

That's not all! Kuro also says it's adding the Companion Story for Resonator Yinlin "soon," presumably because players were able to use an exploit to unlock her ahead🐻 of her June launch🔜, so why the hell not? Finally, Kuro promises further enhancements to combat "for more satisfying gameplay."
