    Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is an ambitious and often pretty game that suffers from poorly balanced combat, terrible design choices, and some truly awful technical glitches. This one is for diehard fans of the genre, and even they should consider replaying something else first.

    Wuchang: Fallen Feathers attempts to imitate the greats of the genre but doesn't seem to understand what it is that makes them great, resulting in a game that is desperately lacking not only in identity, but in enjoyment.

    Despite 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.

    Wuchang is a great effort by Leenzee Games. While the game won't revolutionize the Soulslike genre, it does the next best thing by offering some ideas that they, or maybe another developer, can refine. Maybe it will become a mainstay for the genre in future games. If anything, I believe a Wuchang sequel could be an incredible game if it happens. But right now, the formula just isn't there yet.

    Between its weapon options, variety of skills, and abundance of spells, it features a layered combat system with engaging playstyles for everyone. Instead of feeling squishy and defenseless, like in some Soulslikes, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers makes me feel as badass as you’d expect a pirate warrior to be.
