Familiarity stalks you at every turn in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a competent, cool and pretty soulslike with a nice twist on death but few true surprises.
At first glance, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers feels familiar, but its deeper systems take the genre in some unexpected and highly rewarding directions.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is yet another great soulslike to add to the ever-increasing pile, featuring excellent combat, wonderful level design, an incredible skill tree, and fearsome bosses. Just watch out for some steep difficulty dips and spikes, and a reliance on cheap-feeling "gotcha!" ambushes.
Wuchang brings some fun ideas to soulslike boss fights, but the rest of it is a pale imitation of much better games.
There’s plenty to enjoy about Wuchang, but it is not a game for the casual soulslike enjoyer.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a solid soulslike game, but it takes a while to get used to its quirks.
That last point is my biggest takeaway from Wuchang. It’s very competent and enjoyable, but much of it feels like Soulslike junk food; tasty with a few neat ideas, but nothing will stick with me compared to more substantial offerings. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers may not revolutionize the genre, but it’s a good rendition of a favorite song.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers' combat, art direction, flexibility, and level design are fantastic, but balancing issues and its derivative nature ultimately hold it back.
There's already a mod that undoes the immensely unpopular patch for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, making certain bosses and NPCs killable again.
