Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Reviews
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is about problem-solving as much as mastering skills and opponents’ patterns, showing there’s more to be done in this genre.
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers delivers almost everything a modern Soulslike needs to offer, but unfortunately nothing more than that in any area. The currently severe performance issues on consoles, the repetitive boss mechanics, and the overall too generic presentation significantly diminish the gaming experience. Genre veterans looking for a new kind of challenge may still want to give the title a chance

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is an amazing title, one of the best the genre has to offer.
Theres so much I could say about my time with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, but in a time where everyone and their dog is attempting to capitalise on the Soulslike craze, Leenzee have left me feeling like I've encountered and experienced something special with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and something I can't help but gush about to anyone that'll listen. It's fun, frustrating in the best way, and one of the best Soulslikes for a long while.
Wuchang goes back to the genre’s roots in terms of level design, and this actually dates the title more than it makes it feel at home in 2025. The area-to-area exploration is some of the weakest I’ve known, and ultimately ends up being frustrating more than fun. Nevertheless, the rest of the game makes up for this weak point, and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the start of an exciting new franchise Souls fans need to play.
"A polished and ambitious Soulslike" Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a solid entry in the Souls-like genre, offering a satisfying mix of challenging combat, deep customization, and striking visual design. The game's unique take on Chinese mythology is distinctive, and the gameplay—from weapon swapping to the inner demon mechanic—is well-executed. While the story relies on familiar tropes, it's supported by excellent world-building and presentation.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers feels like a labor of love from start to finish. It does justice to the Soulslike formula, amplifies it, mixes it with another culture, and delivers something that has a lot more depth behind it.
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a gritty, fast-paced soulslike that surprises with its sickly, atmospheric world and challenging but fair combat. Despite technical flaws and poorly explained mechanics, its intense boss fights and deep gameplay offer real rewards for dedicated players. A strong sense of identity and smooth progression make it well worth trying, especially for Game Pass subscribers looking for something fresh.

Anyone who enjoys soulslikes should not skip Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and it's also perfect for those looking to get into the genre.
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is more than just another representative of the popular genre. WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is the best Soulslike of the year. With its challenging but fair combat system, a well thought-out skill and magic system, a profound lore and an atmospherically dense game world, Leenze Games has made a strong statement.
