Jul 23, 2025Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a dynamic and challenging soulslike that combines a handful of original ideas with many systems refined within the genre over the past years. While not all of its solutions feel fully successful, this steeped in Asian aesthetics game is impressive and stands as a commendable debut from Chinese studio Leenzee.

Jul 23, 2025Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is simply a must-play video game for any fan of the soulslike genre, especially for those who enjoyed FromSoftware's classic "soulsborne" titles. The developers at Leenzee have captured nearly all the core principles of the original Dark Souls, crafting a Chinese mythology-inspired world reminiscent of Lordran and Yharnam. They’ve delivered challenging level design and a solid action combat system in an atmosphere that is cryptic, dark, and packed with bosses, secrets, and quests that are anything but straightforward. In terms of philosophy and structure, it might just be the best soulslike ever made outside the stewardship of the genre’s original creators. However, it remains deeply rooted in the past—and not always for the right reasons: beyond being technically outdated and at times rough around the edges, it’s a game so “old school” that it can even feel archaic. The execution may be unpolished but it manages to capture the most authentic, classic essence of its inspiration like no other before it.

Jul 22, 2025WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers offers intense boss battles and plenty of options to tackle the challenge, but it presents levels designed to drive you crazy and revolves around a poorly thought-out difficulty system. It's tricky rather than challenging, but if you can look past that, you'll find a soulslike game capable of satisfying your thirst for action.

Jul 22, 2025Despite a fascinating premise, one inspired by both Chinese folklore and real-life history, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers resolutely fails to deliver on any of its initial early promise. This is a Soulslike by the numbers, one hampered by a cornucopia of PS5 performance issues that plague the game like a disease.
