  The Honest and Detailed Review from a 3K-Hour Souls-Like Veteran First and foremost — yes, this is a genuinely positive review, and no, I wasn’t paid a single cent to write this. I swear by the very feathers Wuchang wears. 1. Performance (the most debated topic so far) I’m running i7-14700KF with an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER — a high-end setup. I rarely face performance issues with my system, so when I do, it's usually a problem on the game’s side. That’s why I prepared my system carefully for this game. For context: I’ve manually increased my virtual memory from 2GB to 20GB to ensure smooth operation, my cpu is turbo-boosted to 5.4GHz (from 3.4), and my GPU is correctly clocked and cooled. With that setup, I launched the game at 2K resolution, set all settings to Medium, enabled DLSS + Frame Gen, and ran the game in Fullscreen Windowed mode. I averaged 140 FPS, with rare drops to 110 during intense combat. After switching to High settings across the board, the game still ran smoothly at around 100–120 FPS. Yes, performance issues exist — I've seen other reviews. But in my case, the game runs perfectly, with zero crashes, minimal stuttering (expected in fast-paced fights), and no frame pacing issues. It’s important to note that the game’s graphical complexity isn’t very high (more on that below), so even mid-range setups might find a performance sweet spot with a bit of tweaking. 2. Graphics Let’s be honest: this isn’t Black Myth Wukong, and it’s not Dark Souls 3 either. Wuchang lands somewhere in the middle. The details, animations, lighting, facial expressions, and even clothing and hair physics — all are solid. On a high-end system, I’d say it's a 6/10, elevated to a 8/10 thanks to resolution and stable FPS. I’ve only played about two hours so far, but the environmental design already feels immersive. The landscapes are beautiful, the armor designs are rich and grounded, and the natural scenery captures the spirit of the historical time period the game is set in. The artistic style is distinct and focused, not overly flashy or distracting from the gameplay is what I am saying. If you approach the game with low expectations or nitpick every small thing, you’ll obviously find flaws, but no game is perfect, especially on release day. What really matters is that Wuchang has its own visual identity that supports its dark narrative tone and enhances immersion. And it feels so after just about of hour into the game. 3. Gameplay Here’s where I must be a bit more critical — combat feels a little stiff and simplified, especially by modern Souls-like standards. The first moments with the controller gave me a good impression, movement is intuitive and animations flow well enough. But after trying multiple weapons, I noticed a lack of depth in some movesets. The short sword, for instance, feels smooth, like dancing mid-air. But the axe is sluggish and clunky. That said, this is not necessarily bad — it's about finding what suits your style. I’d rate the weapon design and movesets 6-7 out of 10 in terms of complexity and fluidity, and I have not seen all of them obviously. Still, the combat system is serviceable, and above all, familiar. It’s that classic Souls-like rhythm: dodging, timing, resource management. There's Magic in the game as well — a surprisingly effective addition. I’ve only scratched the surface of the spell system, but I can already see it adding meaningful variety to encounters. And I haven’t even mentioned the beautiful japanese-style sorceress in minimal armor wielding a long magical katana. Call it a trope — I call it art. In short: this is our beloved Souls-like formula with a few twists — solid movement, decent combat, unique weapons, and promising magic mechanics. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s definitely engaging. 4. Story I haven’t seen enough of the story to judge it deeply yet. However, it’s clear that: - there is a narrative, and it’s there from the start thankfully. - side quests exist, encouraging players to stay attentive. - there seem to be romantic undertones, though I haven't seen them unfold yet. The story is simple and linear for now, but that’s often a strength in this genre. You’re not bombarded with exposition. Instead, you're given just enough to stay intrigued. And most importantly — this simple story adds to the experience, and it is all that matters really. 5. Difficulty & Balance With over 3,000 hours in the genre, I can confidently say that Wuchang feels easy, at least in the first two hours. Everything is intuitive and linear so far, with a gentle learning curve. The game does not offer multiple difficulty settings, which is normal for the genre. You get stronger by farming xp (or whatever the local equivalent of "souls" is), and that alone can give you a soft difficulty slider. If you’re new to Souls-likes — Wuchang is very beginner-friendly. 6. Sound & Music This part surprised me a little. I’m usually drawn to powerful, orchestral soundtracks like those in Elden Ring or Dark Souls. But in Wuchang, the music is more ambient and culturally grounded. You’ll mostly hear soft bamboo flutes, low ambient tones, and natural sounds like running water, rustling grass, and wind through trees, etc. It’s subtle — not meant to hype you up, but to pull you into the world’s melancholy and decay. There’s nothing bombastic or cinematic YET, but it works well with the tone. Perhaps I missed some of the deeper music cues, being so focused on progression and combat but still, the sound design fits greatly, and sometimes that’s all you need. Final Verdict I'm not here to speak for everyone. According to launch-day reviews, Wuchang currently sits at 22% positive — overwhelmingly negative. And I saw the red flags too: early bug reports, tech complaints, scathing takes. But I still bought the game on release day, booted it up, and gave it a fair shot. And guess what? I’m glad I did. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a good game. A solid, competent, and beautiful entry in the Souls-like genre. It runs well, has artistic flair, and offers exactly what fans of the genre crave: challenge, exploration, mystery, and progression. It may not innovate heavily. It may not blow your mind in the first hour. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time. In a world where marketing and viral reviews often dictate our experience before we even touch a game, sometimes you need to just play it yourself. And hey, you can always set a timer for 1 hour and 58 minutes, take a few screenshots, and refund it if it’s not for you. But if you’re like me, you might just find yourself diving deeper than you expected. P.S. I hope this review helps someone out there decide for themselves before giving up on what might become one of their favorite surprises of the year. And thanks for reading! Good luck everyone.

  Добавлено после прохождения игры: Мнение не поменялось - великолепный souls-like с кучей своих изюминок и проактивной (за исключением нескольких боссов) боевкой. Прошел без гайдов на худшую концовку XD Возможно, когда-нибудь перепройду. Добавлено спустя 32 часа: Один из лучших souls like'ов за последнее время. Добавлено спустя 17 часов: Прошел 1.5 главы (из 4-х). Патч первого дня дал +5/+10 FPS в некоторых местах (играю на высоких). Отличные боссы. Сильно отличающееся друг от друга оружие. Локации чем дальше, тем симпатичнее (кроме блевотной пещеры со сколопендрами). Добавлено спустя 10 часов: Боевка продолжает раскрываться. Активно начал юзать переключение с одного оружия на второе. Вырисовывается билд через парирование + телепортация за спину с отхилом через вампиризм от многочисленных ударов. Добавлено спустя 6 часов: (!!!) Для апологетов парирования и блоков: у каждого вида оружия в игре своя механика парирования. У топора - простой блок. У длинного меча - обычное парирование и парирование 3-й атакой. У двух мечей - парирование через особую атаку. У короткого меча - полублок/полупарирование через навык, а также парирование второй атакой через еще один навык. У копья - не посмотрел, как дела обстоят. Теперь в целом об игре. Да все норм. Первые 5 боссов добротные. Все уже были в других играх, но тут они со своей изюминкой. Не хватает разнообразия оружия, да и прокачка выглядит несколько странной - как будто перемудрили с ней немного и получился гибрид Nioh и Valhalla. Взяли из обоих тайтлов не лучшее и не худшее, а среднее. Зато локации точно приятнее, чем в том же Nioh. Пока где-то на 7-7.5. PS: Не знаю, у кого возникло ощущение по трейлерам, что это Wukong. Это Dark Souls (переплетенные локации с шорткатами) + Nioh (прокачка). Мысли после первого часа игры: Пора исправлять рейтинг игры, ибо чувствую несправедливость. Пройдусь по тому, что понаписали другие: 1. Нет импакта - есть от каждого удара 2. Нет блока - есть на определенных видах оружия (к примеру, топор, который получаешь через 15-20 минут после старта) 3. [мое любимое] Нет бега - есть (удерживание Х или O на геймпаде; удерживание Shift или Space на клавиатуре) 4. Хреновая графика - лучше, чем в Wolong 5. [дополнено] Нет быстрого спуска по лестнице - нажмите X или O (Shift или Space) Из реальных проблем: 1. Двойное нажатие кнопок на геймпаде - китайцы включили внутриигровое считывание геймпада, но забыли отключить контроллер в Steam, так что сделайте это за них (в игре Shift + Tab, настройки контроллера, отключить систему ввода Steam) 2. Нет оптимизации - ее и правда нет. У меня RTX3070 в FHD на высоких 50 FPS. Но я включил генерацию через Lossless Scaling и все ок. По итогу, игру тупо захейтили. Мое субъективное мнение после часа игры, как человека, который прошел практически все souls-like и любит этот жанр - хорошая игра с проблемной оптимизацией.

  1.3 introduced "Supersampling resolution limits have been adjusted on select GPU models to prevent unintended performance degradation." WHO THE FUCC THINKS THIS IS OKAY? So now I'm forced to play the blurry 100fps mess in forced 38% super sampling instead of 75% 70fps 1440p? Real render scale is now stuck on their intended setting even if you put it higher, which eliminate the freedom of choosing between performance or clarity. You developers thinks doing anything for better frame rates by doing his is fine? I would rather have the 1.0 version and slap on some performance mods.

  This is a good game, I just don't think I like it very much. I'll finish it, and maybe change my review, but often I just find that I'm not having a lot of fun while playing. Positives - - Level design is well done. With most games, I try to go the way that won't lead to progression first so I don't miss anything, and in this game I found that while it was hard to tell which way lead to progression, I usually ended up going the optional way and looping back around to progress again. The shortcuts and ways that the level links up is done quite well. - Boss design so far has been pretty cool (except a certain woman in a water area who was rather dull). - I like the madness mechanic, it's fun. - Funny dancing guy. - Outfits are pretty cool. Performance/Optimization This game isn't graphically any more impressive than other games larger in scope and that have released before it, yet, it has forced up-scaling, and performs worse than those other better looking games. (not including MHW lmao). If you don't mind ghosting and grainy artifacts, then up-scaling/FG will make this game playable for anyone with a mid range set-up. I didn't really have any issues with performance consistency, and found it perfectly playable at mostly stable 90+ FPS, but I just think that there isn't really any justification for the lack of optimization that requires up-scaling to get decent and stable frames, and I'm really tired of games relying so heavily on DLSS/FSR. The recommended/minimum specs should NEVER be tested and listed with up-scaling on. Up-scaling tech is fantastic, but it's a monkeys paw, because while it should allow us to get more frames at higher resolutions with heavy tech like ray-tracing, instead, it's used in place of good optimization, and we end up with a net zero gain overall, or even worse than where we were before up-scaling was around. Story I found the narrative to be overall a bit... Directionless? I understand that Souls games are very vague and the narrative is mostly optional, but they always make sure that from the jump, you understand the big, overarching goals (Kill these four dudes and use their souls, burn the tree, link the flame etc etc). In this game, maybe it's just my brain-rot addled mind, but I have no idea wtf my overall goal is, I get the smaller goals, go here, find this person etc, but I feel like I don't really have a reason to care about anything? Like, why am I doing all this? Did I miss it somewhere? I need a motivator, and since loot is kinda sparse, a narrative one would be good. Combat Animations The animations in this game are all quite flashy, you do spins, and jumps and flips, and during all of that, you might get a hit-box out two or three times, meanwhile, while you're spinning around before your attack actually comes out, you're wide open to getting hit. Flashy animations are awesome in character action games, DMC, Bayonetta, MGRR, Nier etc, they're amazing games with flashy combat. Flashy animations are just kinda frustrating in a souls game though most of the time, I mostly don't use weapon arts with long animations in Elden Ring unless I'm OP'd. I want to get a hit out, and be able to back off. That's the point of a souls game right? Taking hits bad, enemies do a heap of damage and can stun-lock you, you don't want to risk dying and having to run back. They have this "Clash" system there, to mitigate this a bit, so you can do a flashy combo, but it feels like a band-aid on something that doesn't feel like it fits. Pulling a combo string and hoping the move with the clash is timed when the enemy decides to attack, and not in between, just feels cumbersome when you can just poke with a spear instead and reliably avoid the risk. Fights I have a few issues with the combat itself in this game, first, you can get hit during your get-up animation, which is ridiculous. Sometimes you'll perfect dodge an attack, but end up still within a lingering hit-box, so you'll take damage anyway. Weapons and hit reactions feel a bit lackluster. Progression Progression in this feels really underwhelming. I don't feel like I have a lot of fine control over my build, and leveling up doesn't feel all that impactful. The skill tree is an interesting idea, but I feel like tying the skills directly to specific weapons, and having us allocate stats individually like other souls games would have both made the weapons feel more important, and given us more of a sense of accountability and ownership over our game-play. Gooner Stuff I don't really get the hype man, it's there I guess, but SB did it much better. Aside from that, I think a lot of the costumes I've found so far look pretty cool, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Summary This game isn't BAD, I just don't find myself having a lot of fun while playing it, and when there are SO many good games to play right now, I don't feel like it's a time sink that I can recommend personally. For me, I need good loot/progression, really satisfying combat, a really engaging story, or the holy grail of all three... This game just doesn't quite hit the mark on any of these for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will really enjoy it, and I hope these devs are able to make more stuff, and refine their product. I'll change this review if my opinion shifts by the time I finish, I still don't find the optimization acceptable, and hope they work on it, but I won't hold my breath.

  Though rough around the edges, this Wuxia RPG delivers a rewarding experience and recaptures the spirit of the original Dark Souls My feelings for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers are rather complicated. It’s a Souls-like that delivers some incredible highs, but also frustrating lows. Even after completing all the endings and achievements, I struggle to recommend it wholeheartedly. It’s punishing, but often for the wrong reasons, and filled with no shortage of niggling gameplay issues. To say this game tests your patience to the utmost limit is putting it lightly. Yet even with all these hiccups, I really enjoyed my time with Wuchang. I consider it as one of my favorite Souls-likes in recent memory, right up there with The First Berserker: Khazan. Chances are, if you're checking this out, you’re already into Souls-likes. The vibe is very Dark Souls meets Black Myth: Wukong, with bamboo forests, ancient Chinese architecture, and creepy supernatural stuff. But there are some standout areas too, like the bizarre final dungeon, which is straight-up nightmare fuel. Where the game shines most is its exploration. The level design is spectacular, and honestly, I haven’t had this much fun wandering through a semi-open world since the original Dark Souls. From the tutorial cave where you first wake up all the way to the endgame zones, almost every area is connected through ladders, gates, and hidden cave paths that loop all the biomes together nicely. There’s nothing quite like battling your way through a creepy forest full of man-eating bird monsters, only to suddenly pop out behind a rebel camp you spotted sometime ago in the horizon. Roughly a third of the world is optional too, so there’s a ton of stuff to discover off the beaten path. I'd wager most players skipped through most of the main village in Worship’s Rise without even realizing it. All in all, my only real complaint with the exploration is how some areas really, really needed more Shrine checkpoints. Too much backtracking is the opposite of fun. Now there’s a lot to unpack when it comes to gameplay. Wuchang contains a bunch of cool systems like Skyborn Might, Magic, and Temperance that help make combat feel dynamic. You can respec and transmog from the start, which should honestly be standard in every RPG nowadays. It also has what might be the best weapon upgrade system in the entire genre, where when you upgrade one weapon, the refinement level applies to all other weapons of the same type. But although the tutorials cover the basics, a lot of critical info is left out. I didn’t figure out how to upgrade weapons past +4 until much later, and it wasn’t until the final dungeon that I realized some skill tree nodes can actually be leveled up more than once. Disciplines, active skills for each weapon type, feel underwhelming, aside from the broken Blademaster for Dual Blades. Most pale in comparison to Weapon Skills, which are tied to specific weapons and generally feel more impactful. Even Disciplines that enable staple abilities like parrying and blocking feel pointless due to the existence of Clash. Speaking of which, the Clash mechanic is what sets this game apart. Time your strike just right, and you’ll cancel out an enemy’s attack with a flashy spark effect and take no damage. It’s kind of like Reflections in Khazan, but easier to use and spammable. Chaining Clashes against bosses is absolute martial arts cinema at its finest. Downside is that it only works against weapon-wielding enemies. Weapon balance is decent, though there are clear favorites. Dual Blades are absolutely busted, with high DPS and great synergy with the lifesteal Temperance. The Longsword and Axe are also powerful options with their notable damage and stagger potential. One-Handed Swords are situational early on since the good spells and Magic nodes are locked behind lategame progression. Spears are… not great, sadly. Subpar skills and unremarkable damage. Enemy variety is surprisingly varied, ranging from regular bandits to enormous fiends. However, later areas get rough. Expect mobs with absurd poise, unblockable grabs, and instant-death attacks. The final two regions are particularly brutal, with crazy bird warriors that can turn you to Swiss cheese before you can blink, and towering monstrosities with bloated HP pools. Even regular enemies become obnoxious by ambushing and pushing you off cliffs (it's funny how overused this gimmick is). Bosses are similarly punishing. You've probably heard horror stories about the infamous Commander Honglan, but honestly, most bosses with any semblance of mobility will pose a challenge. They have insanely long combos that drain your entire stamina bar, leaving no time to breathe or heal. Clash is your best bet, but it's not usable on every boss. On the plus side, very few are HP sponges, and some become way easier depending on your weapon choice. Slow animations add to the struggle, especially the painfully long knockdown recovery. For a seasoned warrior like Wuchang, it seems out of place watching her take 10 business days to get back on her feet. It wouldn’t be so bad if not for the fact that there aren't any i-frames whatsoever after recovering. And of course, enemies, especially bosses, love to spam their combos the second you stand up, so getting juggled to death is just another Tuesday. Wuchang also takes her sweet time chugging her Manna Vase (healing flask), but this is manageable once you learn the proper healing windows. Story-wise, I was invested in Wuchang’s quest to save her sister. But unless you're familiar with Chinese history or Buddhist philosophy, a lot of it might fly over your head. The story is heavily inspired by Samsara, the cycle of death and rebirth, and the narrative is very fragmented like most other Souls-likes. Of note, I liked how Tao Qing, the merchant NPC, fills in boss backstories when you bring him their drops. Most of the lore is gated behind NPC questlines, but I have mixed feelings about how the game handles their progression. I get that vague quests are part of Souls-likes, but here, it's ridiculously easy to break entire questlines just by entering the wrong area at the wrong time. Nian Suichang, Huang Jian’e, and the White-Robed Elder all have major loredumps tied to them, yet their subplots are nearly impossible to finish without a guide. Wuchang runs on Unreal Engine 5 and it definitely shows. There are only a few recent titles I’ve played that can rival its stunning environmental detail. Textures, lighting, and world design all look fantastic. The gory scenery is also really well done. That said, performance can be rough. I ran into a lot of stutters and FPS drops, mostly in Worship’s Rise due to heavy vegetation. Turning off Global Illumination and lowering Shadows helped. And lastly, the music. Nothing to write home about, but the title theme and final boss choir are bangers. Wuchang is a bit of a messy gem. It's rough around the edges, but if you're into Souls-likes and don’t mind a little jank, it’s a rewarding ride. The exploration is top-tier, the combat has some seriously hype moments (Clash is so fun), and the lore is worth digging into if you’re up for it. It’s not the most polished game, but it’s a highly enjoyable one. And for me, that’s more than enough.

  После 25 часов игры могу сказать, что это явно лучший соулс не от фромов, да и лучше многих работ Бабадзаки. Игра не лишена недостатков, но по большей части они касаются некоторых шероховатостей боевой системы и её баланса по типу довольно долгого выбивания баланса у босса, если биться с ним через парирование и в то же время моментальное выбивание этого баланса при ударе в спину (что местами сделать сложно, но явно легче, чем при обычной битве). Но это всё меркнет перед тем, насколько игра хороша. Ведь как говорил классик оптимизацию и баланс можно подправить (что кстати уже делают), но если игра изначально была сделана безыдейно и без души, то это не исправить никак. А здесь игра была сделана с большой любовью. И кстати, господа китайские игроки, я до сих пор жду ссылок на момент истории, который разработчики переврали. А то я не смог найти секретных документов, где бы во времена династии Мин упоминалась пернатая хворь) (это шутка, пожалуйста, не надо мне слать пасты прол бездумное потребление игр). Мысли после 6 часов в игре в ответ на негативные рецензии: Пожалуй пора вытащить игру из тотального хейта. Пройдёмся по основным тейкам, за которую игру закидывают отрицательнымии рецензиями. 1) Богомерзкая графика. Да, спору нет, что это ни разу не вуконг, тут как бы да, но игра соответствует показанным трейлерам в целом (это можно не увидеть из-за посредственной оптимизации игры, но всё же). Лично я никакого даунгрейта графики не увидел. Про это дополню ещё в разделе с минусами игры. 2) Нет бега. Он есть, зажмите кнопку уворота и будет вам счастье. 3) Отсутствие блока/парирования. Не знаю как все, но я чуть ли не из каждого утюга слышал, что все эти механики есть, но на определённых типах оружия. Как было сказано уже в одном ревью, топор с блоком ты находишь уже через 15 минут игры. 4) Нет импакта у оружия, что на корню не верно. Он более чем есть, разные типы оружия ведут себя по разному, у них разный мув сет и это ощущается. Не знаю, насколько сильные различия и есть ли они внутри класса у оружия, ибо пока этого не тестил. 5) Изменение ценовой политики. Не знаю, на каком регионе сидят люди, но лично у меня игра как стоила так и стоит. А сделать рефанд и купить по более низкой цене, если я не ошибаюсь, как будто не так уж и плохо. Да, потеряешь 2 скина, но это как будто не сверх потеря. Но тут уже дело каждого. 6) "Это китайская подделка вуконга". Ну схожего у этих игр разве что сеттинг, не знаю, кто вообще видел в этом 2-го вуконга. В этой игре темп значительно ниже, чем у вуконга, ибо эта игра куда ближе к соулсам. По динамике игра чисто по восприятию она быстрее 3-го дарка и либо на уровне бладборна, либо чуть медленнее. Касательно вариативности геймплея, билдостроя и различных механик вучанг по крайней мере сейчас опережает вуконг на голову. Теперь перейдём к минусам игры: 1) Оптимизация. С этим всё печально, тут спору нет. на своей 4070s на высоких с DLSS на качестве в 2к я имею 70-90 фпс. Это меньше, чем я имел в вуконге на тех же настройках. Тут будем надеяться, что в скором времени это хотя бы частично подправят, как в своё время было с вуконгом. Но это не уровень баек, которые ходили в обсуждениях, мол для 1080p 60фпс нужна 5090, это, разумеется, бред. 2) Графические приколы. Опять же, здесь мог я накосячить, криво настроить HDR и прочая и прочая. Но была пара мест, где текстуры рябили и в целом картинка как будто несколько страдает от DLSS сильнее, чем должна. Поэтому хейт в стороны игры я не поддерживаю, пойду её дальше изучать, ибо это очень добротный соулс со своей атмосферой и интересным сеттингом. Если у вас достаточно мощный пк, то рекомендую игру к ознакомлению уже сейчас.

  Overall, an enjoyable game. But, before I get into why I like it, I'll explain what's going on with its review score first. Why is it reviewed so poorly? There are a few reasons. There were apparently some pricing issues in China. Some people felt the game was too punishing. Then it was updated and some people felt it became too forgiving. But I'm going to focus on what I think are the biggest reasons. Edit: A comment was added that explains things a bit more. I'll add it to the bottom of this review for more visibility. Performance Many people were hit by performance issues. Honestly, I feel like the minimum and recommended specs are too optimistic. Instead of just trusting them, I'd recommend doing some research to see how your setup will perform. Censorship Yup. This game takes place during the downfall of the Ming dynasty. You fight historical figures, and you can also get attacked by civilians. Turns out some people were offended that you could kill Han Chinese from the Ming dynasty. To handle this, the game was censored in a post-release patch. And, honestly, the censorship just sucks. The censorship changes the story, as characters who died now live on. And it was just so clumsy and awkward. After the censorship, when you defeat a historical character, instead of falling to the ground they just... stop. It looks like a bug, not a feature. It looks like what happens when someone's internet breaks in a multiplayer game. It ruins the moral choices and tragic tone of the game. Before, when civilians attack you by throwing rocks (which barely do damage), you could choose to fight back, or show them mercy by leaving them alone. But now that choice is made for you, since they don't attack you and you can't attack them. The censorship significantly affected an entire gameplay section. There was a whole part that was originally a 3-way fight between you, soldiers, and monsters. The censorship made those soldiers unkillable, and they no longer attack you, so now it's a 2v1 with you and soldiers fighting monsters, and just makes that whole area so trivial. Alright, with that out of the way, here's what I think about the game itself. Gameplay mechanics I loved the gameplay mechanics. I don't play many souls-like games, so forgive me if I gush over something that's pretty standard. First, there's Skyborn Might. Might are points that you can spend to cast spells, use weapon class skills (called Disciplines), or unique skills for each weapon. Gaining Might is so satisfying. The basic way to gain Might is to execute perfect dodges. Basically, you get rewarded for using the I-frames in a dodge. After a few upgrades, you can also gain might from attack combos or parrying. I just loved this risk and reward system, and I got to play this game fast and aggressively, which I like. Speaking about risk and reward, there's also the Madness system. When your Madness is high, you deal more damage, and also some of your moves get stronger. But you also take more damage at high Madness. If you die while your Madness is too high, then it will spawn the Inner Demon where you last died, which will fight you (or other enemies). The variety of moves is also great. Like I said, there are Disciplines, and weapon skills. The basic Disciplines are like blocking while using an axe or an evasive kick while using a sword. But you can unlock and equip new ones for weapons in a matching class. And the weapon skills are great. For example, with Skyborn Might, you can make a whip sword extend and hit enemies that are far away. There isn't a lot of weapon variety, but each weapon feels special, thanks to these skills. Some Disciplines and weapon skills can also be mixed into a combo, allowing you to do things like perform the strongest move in a light attack chain in 3 moves instead of 5. There's also a lot of magic with interesting animations and effects. The magic isn't your basic "shoot fire out of your hands" stuff. And while I'm speaking about variety, I have to mention the armor. Armor sets are divided into head, chest, arm, and leg armor. You can mix and match, but you can also alter any piece of armor to look like any other piece of armor, so stats don't limit your style and vice-versa. Nearly every time you beat a boss, you get the chance to get their armor, too, and steal their look. Exploration I also loved exploration. Each time you enter a new area, it feels like a maze. But once you open up a few shortcuts, every area turns out to be simple and interconnected. There's just something satisfying about fighting through a tough area, then opening up a shortcut that lets you rest at a shrine before going back. And there are a lot of secrets to look for. Funnily enough, some great secrets are found by falling for traps, like grabbing an item on a breakable platform. Visuals Medieval China with a horror twist looks really cool. Sometimes the game looks beautiful, and sometimes really gruesome. I'll often stop just to admire the scenery. A temple under siege at sunset. A field of flowers in the moonlight. An underground torture chamber with monsters hanging from the walls and ceilings. The art direction is just great. What I like is that they always choose the best lighting for the environment, even if it isn't realistic. You can walk out of a bright and sunny forest and into an autumnal scene, and watch the lighting rapidly change from white to a deep orange. The sun and moon don't follow the rules of time, but instead do whatever looks the most pretty, which was a great decision. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3548997012 Challenge I played about half the game before version 1.5, and half after, so this is a bit tough to judge. But it seems like the game is the most difficult in the beginning, before you have access to a variety of moves and magic. I died a lot to early-game bosses, but the final few bosses rarely took many tries. Some moves are absolutely broken against certain bosses, and will make them trivial. That's mostly what I have to say. I was tempted to give a negative review to voice my complaints about the censorship, but I wanted to be honest. And, honestly, even with the flaws and disappointment, I still liked this game. At first, it might seem like a generic souls clone, but it gets a lot more interesting after a few hours. Edit: The real problem is that the late Ming-early Qing invasion involved huge civilian massacres, which left lasting scars on collective memory. In stories and pop culture set in that time, the heroes are almost always fighting against the invaders, not joining them to slaughter innocents. The game marketed itself to players expecting that perspective, only for them to find out they were actually playing as the invaders. The game producer was fully aware of this, so in the initial version they hid what the game was actually about and some key lines from the Chinese version of the game, only revealing them to players using other languages.

  Game forces Temporal Anti Aliasing always on. This means that even if you have the latest hardware to run this in 4k, you will still be forced to see blurry textures due to how craptastic TAA is. For anyone running 4k, AA solutions are meaningless and uneeded for most monitor sizes Devs, allow us to disable TAA, its not hard, theres even a Unreal Engine console command for it: r.AntiAliasingMethod 0 I shouldnt be forced to use third party software to allow myself that graphical option.

  Difficulty Without Design Wuchang started okay for me; I was having a decent time with it. That was until I reached a specific, rather early part of the game. Level Design The level design is not good. I do not know why it is getting praise in this part. Most of the clever shortcuts do not mean anything, since you have no reason to return because there is fast travel. Only some boss shortcuts matter. Shrine distances are so long in between, filled with many enemies, unfair ambushes and traps placed everywhere. Just annoying rather than challenging. Wherever you look, it's so similar thus it is hard to navigate sometimes. it is frustrating. No idea how people may call this good design. Boss Fights The bosses are definitely the worst part of this game. The first couple of bosses were good. But after you get to Commander Honglan, the rest is so bad. The difficulty spike jumps so high suddenly that it is shocking. From that point on, the bar just keeps raising. These bosses do not feel like fair battles where you hit them, then dodge a couple of times, then get rewarded for dodging by hitting the boss a few more times. Instead in Wuchang, the bosses are the most aggressive, attack spamming bullsh*t bosses I have ever seen. They do not have visible patterns, they just spam you. Many times you finish dodging, thinking you can land one small hit, but nope, the boss dodges away. It feels like the devs want us to cheese the bosses. I will not and cannot change my build and gear for every single boss. The bosses are cheap, unfair, and simply not fun. Graphics, Story and Audio The graphics are okay, even though the game looks like a bland UE5 slop. The story is impossible to understand if you are not reading every piece of stuff you find. The music is not memorable. I am not fully aware of this, but it seems like the game received heavy censorship after release. BROKEN MEDAL Follow My Curator Page For More Reviews ⚜️

  It would have been an 8/10 at least if not for certain parts of the game holding it back: Getting knocked down makes you get punished MASSIVELY, 99/100 time lead to death because bosses or enemies can get a 2nd attack off quickly + recovery is TOO SLOW - same goes for healing, it's too slow. Elevators in this game are SO SLOW IT MAKES ME MAD, I had to wait a minute for one elevator after respawning, and I cannot even send it back down after I ride it up so that I won't have to wait forever again every time I die (specifically this is for the elevators in the final area, but across the entire game it is indeed too slow). Shrine (bonfires in this game) placements are really poor, there's so few Shrines in this game the boss run backs are straight up tedious and very unfun. This is 2025, don't just be exactly like Dark Souls 1, use it as a reference and IMPROVE on it - Do what Elden Ring did and let us respawn right before bosses or place Shrines before them (only 1 or 2 bosses in this game has NO run backs IIRC). Level design is actually pretty nice but it can also be quite tedious to navigate, especially due to shrine placements. And this will also tie into my next point. Too many 'screw you' moments where enemies jump at me from nowhere or try to push me off a ledge, this gets especially annoying each time I respawn to run back to where I last died to collect my red mercuries (what souls are in this game). The reason soulsbourne games excel at this is because moments like these are actually rather rare, not all the time. Quests in this game can easily get broken, leading you to a bad ending (I got bad ending) - punishing me for exploring too much is not the way, especially with the way the levels/areas of the game are designed. How am I supposed to know there is only ONE correct way to go in order to progress NPC quests properly? Sure the NPC icons in the teleport menu are helpful (a very nice QOL) but it doesn't help that for those like me who love to explore everything will just end up breaking quests. Transmog in this game should be reworked so that individual pieces aren't tied to a transmog gear, it is very annoying. Do what Monster Hunter World or Cyberpunk did instead, that way I don't have to equip the transmog again everytime I want to change my stats. Performance: I have a high end PC so I never really ran into these issues. However, the fact that DLAA is actually fake resolution is quite scummy coming from the devs (IIRC 100% (DLAA) actually runs at around 67% of the actual resolution). The whole 0-100 DLSS slider should just not be a thing, instead have options like most other games. AND GIVE US THE ABILITY TO TURN DLSS OFF. However, there are several things worth praising about in this game: General feel of combat is solid and well executed, dodges feel responsive as well as attacks. Skyborn Might system is great: Effectively a unique kind of mana system where perfect dodges or certain attacks in a combo string etc will grant you 1 point of mana to use spells or enhanced weapon abilities. Skill tree, while I feel like it could be better, I do like that your weapon enhancement (+1 to +10) is dependant on it rather than having to invest resources into every single weapon you come across. Bonus for free respeccing. Graphics, not high fidelity and whatnot, but it looks stunning with its art direction and style and unique biomes. One thing I'm more neutral about is: Boss fights, beautiful boss designs, the fight themselves are fun BUT due to the aforementioned issues I had, it really bogs the experience down, besides most of them lean towards the easy. Devs also need to QA test these bosses more because there were some attacks that were kind of awkward. Overall still a fun experience nonetheless. I do know the game will get an update later this month as of the time of this review which will fix most of the issues I am complaining about. Therefore I do not recommend this game in its current state. For me it's a 6.5/10 despite my enjoyment of the game, I actually quite enjoyed it a lot! Just that there are some issues that definitely hamper the experience that feels rather frustrating instead of reasonably challenging.

  I just finished Wuchang, and here are some of my thoughts on the game—especially when putting it side by side with Wukong: Wuchang outshines Wukong in many ways. Better in what sense? Well, pretty much across the board: the skill tree system, level design, storyline ending, and combat mechanics all feel more polished and rewarding. The skill tree is massive and diverse—it actually gave me a headache trying to decide what to upgrade, since unlocking one skill often leads to a bunch of others. It’s the kind of depth that makes you plan carefully and feel rewarded for it. One of the coolest features is how flexible the weapon upgrade system is. You don’t have to stress about which weapon to invest in—even the rare +10 upgrade stones don’t lock you in. That alone sets it apart from other Soul-like games. The level design is incredibly detailed, visually breathtaking, and tightly interconnected. It feels like every corner is crafted with intention. Now let’s talk difficulty—it’s hard. Really hard. But also fair. The game punishes your mistakes, not your patience. It’s brutal but never feels cheap. The upgrade systems for your character, items, weapons, and armor are all worth diving into—each piece feels like it contributes something meaningful to your build. Also, the fashion? Top-tier. Sexy? Yep. Cute? Absolutely. They’ve nailed the style. All in all, this is an outstanding game—easily one of the most worthwhile purchases I’ve made this year.

  Ну чтож, прошел игру на хорошую концовку, но что бы описать словами игру, без матов не обойтись... Начну с того что бекграунд соусл лайк игр большой, все перечислять не буду но с десяток наберется. На данный момент (10.08.25) не рекомендую к прохождению, но если вы это читаете гораздо позднее, то вероятно уже вышли патчи-фиксы исправляющие основные моменты и данный обзор не действителен, но пока так: Давайте с плюсов: 1) Игра реально красивая И тут дело не только в локация, но и оружии, броне (они же костюмы), противники, лица персонажей, анимации и т.д. и т.п наверное в большинстве своем зарешал движек игры, все таки, нереальный двигатель, но про это позже 2) Боевая система интересная Боевка крутая, зрелищная, есть комбинации, к определенному типу врага есть свои тактики и разыгровки, оворот заменен на просто дэш в сторону, но регает нелохо, таймить не составит труда. Есть так же парирование и блок, работают своеобразно, некоторые атаки что должны парироваться таковыми не являются, но в целом это не сильно что ломает и пользоваться не то что бы можно, а нужно. 3) Билдостроение разнообразное В игре доступно 5 различных типов орудий каждое из которых предоставляет собой определенный гейплей, сам я начинал на двуручном мече, после перешел на копье и в середине игры решил продолжать играть на топорах, и все 3 типа оружия кардинально меняли мой стиль игры. Ветка прокачки сделана по типу как в Path of Exile, это огромное древо, где ты прокачиваешь как пассивные так и активные способности (из которых ты, кстати, можешь использовать только 1 и 1 встроенное в само оружие) Броня постоянно будет побираться под босса и тип локации, к примеру, если босс с копьем одевай броню на защиту от колющего иначе можешь словить ваншот (урона у боссов очень много), если на локации куча луж с порчей, не ошибкой будет одеть броню защищающую от этой самой порчи и эффект сильно заметен. Броня в этой игре играет не малую долю в защищенности и без этого довольно хрупкого ГГ. В игре так же присутствует закалка оружия, это своебразный бафф что висит некоторое время и позволяет ударами накладывать на противника статусный эффект (так же есть закалка на вампиризм). Под определенное оружие лучше подбирать соответствующую закалку в соответствие с пассивкой что само оружие дает (пр. на топорах есть пассивка что усиливает урон огнем, значит берем закалку на огонь и радуемся большим циферкам урона) А теперь по минусам Я выделил основные минусы, но все они фиксятся и почему игра выпущена в таком состоянии я, честно, не понимаю, видимо разработчики решили не тестировать или у нас с ними разные взгляды на то что сложно и то что неудобно (душно) 1) Ужасный баланс урон-здоровье боссов Боссы могут тебя убить с 1-2 ударов, но так же могут и сами откиснуть за пару тройку подряд правильно проведенных ротаций. Прочитав обзоры других людей, я понял, что большинство не прошли и половину из-за этой проблемы и из-за чего у меня неоднократно припекало. Забудьте про менеджмент фласок с хилом на боссах, в большинстве случаев вы будете умирать раньше чем вам ими дадут воспользоваться, моментов что ты умираешь от 1-2 ударов очень много, на каждом боссе свои приколы, но если каким то чудом пережить или просто затаймить опасную обилку босса, то он сам так же сильно получит по шапке. Огромный урон на боссах это не сложность игры, это духнота, пока ты не выучишь всю ротацию босса и не будешь идеально ее таймить, ты будешь сидеть на нем часами, объюзить десятки хилок что дают в игре вам не дадут, либо задоджил и продожаешь бить, либо летишь на костер. Фикситься очень легко, урон боссу режем, хп боссу добавляем, простое лайф кволити что не сильно повляет на сложность босса, но сделает его более приятным для боя. 2) Медлительность Тут несколько подпунктов, что конкретно имею ввиду -опрокидование. Это одна из самых бесячих вещей в игре, тебя может опрокинуть что угодно и вставать ты будешь ну очень долго. Некторые противники, в том числе почти все боссы, успевают провести еще одну атаку пока ты лежишь, и возвращаясь к первому пункту, у боссов очень много урона, получив удар на пол лица с опрокидыванием, пока ты лежишь босс может тебя еще раз ударить и добить без возможности дать сдачи или просто хильнуться. -использование фляг с хилом. Медленная анимация с не мгновенным отхилом -лифты. Я хз почему, но это первая игра, где можно реально уснуть пока едет лифт. В 5 акте есть 2 лифта у которых я не выдержал и засек время подъема и спуска... вышло 30 сек в одну сторону и 30 сек в другую. Вот только представьте, вы погибли, реснулись у костра, хотите вернуться и забрать свои души попутная двая пиздюлей всем обидчикам, но.... вы не спустили лифт в прошлом трае, и теперь вы должны пол минуты ждать пока он спустится и затем пол минуты ждать пока ты поднимишься обратно. Кстати есть 1 босс дорога к которому идет через лифт, там он едет побыстрее в районе 10 сек, но тоже сильно раздражает, ждать почти пол минуты что бы просто спуститься... 3) Кривые хитбоксы Если честно до конца игры я считал что с хитбоксами все у игры впорядке, но китайцы решили приподнести подарок в 5м акте ввиде 5 метровых долбоебов а до этого босса-тигра. Ты можешь в упор упереться в противника, нажать жизненно необходимую абилку, что сильно тебе поможет, но увы есть шанс что ты ударишь воздрух. 4) Не читаемость сражений - Сражу скажу что не все боссы душные, но некоторые могут сломать тебе 90% кабины захватом, который визуально ни как не предиктиться, ориентируйся только по звуку, и не дай бог у тебя во время этого "дзынь" идет анимация атаки (которую нельзя прервать) можешь распрощаться с лицом, может выживешь, но 9/10 случаев нет. - Есть боссы что не влазят в экран (в основном это пару тройку последних) возможно это я долбоеб что не купил для этой игры телевизор что бы на нем играть, но моего 27 дюймого моника просто не хватает что бы босс или хотя бы его атака влазила в рамки экрана. Получать по лицу из-за экрана очень понравилось спасибо большое хочу еще (нет) - Супер динамичные боссы. Сложности в том что босс бегает, прыгает из стороны в сторону особо нет. Но вот что есть - вас укачивает. Меня по крайней мере да (хотя проблем с этим в жизни или других играх нет, да даже в VR ни разу не случалось подобного), когда у тебя босс каждой своей атакой двигается на пару тройку метров в сторону и еще спамит этой атакой появлвяется довольно интересный эффект морской болезни (ее у меня нет) камера летает по арене босса, как будто это комар которого ты пытаешься поймать в час ночи. 5) Локации Думал написать этот пункт или нет, но думаю что все таки стоит. Не все, но большинство локаций довольно запутанные, вы будете постоянно теряться в развилках, шорткатах, путей к опциональным боссам, секретным локам и т.д. Запросто можно пропустить тот или иной поворот и потом полчаса бродить ища выход дальше. 6) НЕРЕАЛЬНЫЙ ДВИЖОК. Все мы знаем что это такое и с чем его едят. И тут по классике, красиво, но минус фпс. Итак если вы дочитали до этого момента, то вы большие молодцы (но я вообще в шоке что вы свое время на это потратили). Игра в целом неплохая и череда патчей и фиксов могут сделать из нее конфетку, как это было с оптимизацией (на старте игра жутко фризила, после пары патчей стало гораздо приятнее) так же и духоту боссов можно исправить просто подкрутив циферки. Опрокидывания туда же, увеличить скорость вставания в 1.5 раза будет достаточно что бы они так же доставляли игроку проблем, но при этом не руинили ему сражение как это есть сейчас. Остальные проблемы, думаю, можно простить, все таки это первая их игра и есть куда расти.

  I bought the game with the hope that people here are exaggerating about the graphic settings. People are not lying, the game looks like crap with the forced upscaler. TSR/FSR oversampling slider is a lie because no matter how to adjust it, the game uses the lowest internal resolution as possible and call it oPtIMiZaTiOn, what a load of bs. Now my framerate is hovering at 80 FPS with no real options to increase the image quality. Refunded until they give back control to the players so they can decide how they want to run the game themselves. You deserve this kind of criticism from the community. Be better. EDIT: before any illiterates call my PC a trash can. I'm running it with a RX 9060 XT 16 GB. This card is way stronger than the recommended specs. Stop riding the devs d***.

  *This review was machine translated from Korean to English. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers A Common Misconception: Confusing "Unfair and Broken" with "Soulslike" I usually write balanced, combat-focused reviews, but this game completely broke me. The boss battles are so flawed they overshadow everything else. Skip this review right now if you don't want a wall of negativity. But if you scroll past, buy the game, and end up miserable—don't say you weren't warned. 🤢 A Recipe for Disaster: 5 Rare Ingredients of a Legendary Broken Boss Most Soulslikes might accidentally suffer from one or two of these design flaws. This game, however, somehow manages to combine all five into a single encounter—creating the ultimate monument to incompetent boss design. 1. Infinite Combo Spam Every single attack pattern is a relentless multi-hit string. The boss casually chains 5-to-6-hit combos like it’s nothing, turning the fight into a tedious test of patience rather than skill. 2. Zero-Window Chaining The boss transitions from one pattern straight into the next without delay. In any competent action game, successfully parsing and dodging a pattern rewards you with a opening to punish. Here, that fundamental loop is deleted. There is no opening for the player—only the enemy's infinite offense. 3. Phantom Hitboxes and Meaningless Visual Cues Weapon lengths and visual tells don't mean a thing. Enemy attacks basically cover a full 360 degrees. Watching and reacting to animations is pointless; you are forced to dodge everything simply because the game arbitrarily decides the entire area is a hazard zone. 4. Radar-Supported Heat-Seeking Tracking The boss is physically incapable of whiffing an attack. It routinely executes absurd 270-to-360-degree mid-air snaps to course-correct instantly toward you. Worse yet, even the homing projectiles spawned from these swings have a mind of their own—aggressively curving mid-air to hunt you down instead of flying straight. Spacing is meaningless when both the boss and its projectiles actively rewrite physics just to clip you. 5. Disorienting Camera Chaos The boss constantly flies and leaps erratically across the arena, forcing the lock-on camera to violently swing and shake, completely killing any visual clarity. Trying to read patterns while the screen is violently jerking around is pure agony. On second thought, it may induce vomiting, but it doesn't matter, since those visual cues are utterly useless anyway. 🤡 The Pinnacle of Unfairness: A Complete Disasterclass Can you even picture this? The boss fight is the literal definition of unfairness—a total, unadulterated clown show. There is zero rhythm, no flow, and no back-and-forth to this combat. You are forced to just hug the boss's ankles, panic-rolling for dear life, squeezing in a measly one or two light attacks or a single skill before immediately going right back to dodging. Watching this boss move, the only word that comes to mind is "Tantrum." It endlessly loops relentless multi-hit strings back-to-back without giving you a single window to breathe, let alone punish. You’d think the individual hits would do less damage since it’s a multi-hit spamfest, right? Not a chance. The boss doesn't even need to land multiple separate patterns to kill you. If you slip up and get caught in just one of these combos, your health bar vanishes and you are instantly dead. The game actually features parrying and counter systems, and to be fair, they work well enough against standard mobs and some elites. But here's the joke: they are useless against bosses. Even if you land a perfect parry, the boss doesn't get staggered—it just hyper-armors right through your counter and continues its combo anyway. Trying to use these mechanics during a boss fight is a literal death wish; you're just begging to get caught mid-animation and flattened. To be completely fair and objective, the game does technically try to include an offensive counter-system—a "Clash" mechanic where matching the boss's attack with your own is supposed to negate the damage. Conceptually, it sounds like a fluid way to combine offense and defense. In practice, however, it is a complete farce for two glaring reasons. First, good luck landing it on a boss that constantly zips all over the place and has completely broken hitboxes. Second—and I wish I were making this up—the Clash property is locked behind specific hits in your combo string. For example, when using the longsword, the Clash window only activates on your third light attack. How are you supposed to prep that third hit when almost every boss attack inflicts a guaranteed hard knockdown? The moment you attempt the first or second swing to set up the window, you get clipped, knocked flat on your ass, and your combo is instantly reset. It is completely idiotic. What about dodge-attacks that fluidly combine evasion and offense? Keep dreaming. They don't exist. If this mechanics actually functioned with any shred of elegance, I would be writing a completely different review. If you are reading this and thinking to yourself that this sounds completely hopeless—that is exactly the despair I felt during the entire boss fight. If I managed to convey that exact sense of frustration, then this review has achieved a small victory. And honestly, that’s the only victory you’re going to get here, because there is zero satisfaction to be found in the game itself. When the boss finally falls, there is no real sense of accomplishment. You don't feel like you've overcome a challenge or mastered a duel. After countless wiped attempts, endlessly kissing the dirt, and panic-rolling for dear life, victory feels completely hollow. It isn't a triumph of skill; it's just a miserable war of attrition between your healing flasks and the boss’s health pool. You win simply because the boss's HP happened to hit zero first. There is no joy—only emptiness. ⚖️ The Verdict This is, without a doubt, the most fundamentally unfair experience I have ever encountered in the entire genre. The bosses are better than "Bed of Chaos", but only in the strictest technical sense. The devs clearly suffer from a widespread delusion: thinking that "Soulslike" just means "miserably difficult." They didn't build a fair, rewarding challenge; they just created pure, agonizing torture. Making a player suffer isn't the goal; the suffering is supposed to be the price we pay for the ultimate feeling of triumph. In a twisted way, what the developers pulled off here is almost an impressive achievement. How do they even achieve this level of fundamentally broken, unhinged design? Zero downtime between patterns—it's like they never intended for the player to actually attack. The one thing I can state with absolute certainty is that the people who made this game have clearly never played a proper Soulslike in their lives. Why am I so sure? Because if even a single person on that dev had beaten just one title in this genre, any imbecile would have been able to instantly rattle off the endless list of flaws in these boss fights. The game has been out for about a year, and there’s no DLC in sight. Honestly, seeing how brutally they butchered the base game, I’m already terrified of what a disaster any future DLC would be. Not like I'd ever play it, though. So, do I recommend this game? You bet I do. It is beautifully perfect for masochists who feel that physical agony just isn't enough and want to endure psychological torture as well. It is also highly recommended for anyone who has way too much free time on their hands and wants to experience a true Causality Reversal. Am I suffering because of this game, or am I playing this game because I desire suffering? The lines completely blur, and you genuinely lose track of where the game ends and the agony begins. "Huge thanks to the devs. Beating this broken clown show was the ultimate confidence boost—if I can clear this garbage, I can conquer anything."

  Недавно наконец-то завершил своё первое прохождение Wuchang, на это потребовалось 43 часа. Во время прохождения я старался исследовать каждый угол и найти как можно больше собираемых предметов. Если этим не заморачиваться и не сидеть по долгу на некоторых боссах, то думаю игра проходима где-то за 35 часов. Позже планирую пройти ещё «Новую игру+» на 100% достижений, а пока поделюсь своими впечатлениями. Сложность боссов сильно варьируется. Какие-то довольно тяжкие и отнимали у меня от 1 до 2,5 часов, а другие умирали менее чем за 5 попыток. Всё сильно зависит от вашего текущего оружия и билда. В целом игра по ощущениям сложнее того же Black Myth: Wukong. В игре 5 видов оружия: одноручный меч, двуручный меч, парные клинки, копье и топор. Мы находим уникальные экземпляры с разными скилами в открытом мире, с боссов или покупаем у торговцев. С собой можно носить сколько угодно и свободно переключаться между двумя выбранными. У каждого типа оружия своя ветка прокачки с изучаемыми скилами школы. Говоря о скилах – их сколько угодно без штрафов можно менять, это прям раздолье для любителей экспериментов с билдами. Любителей магии здесь тоже не обделили. По мере прохождения игры мы открываем много разнообразных заклинаний: шары, молнии, лучи, защитная сфера, исцеляющий круг, поглощение вражеских чар и так далее. Всего на панель быстрого доступа можно поставить до 4 заклинаний. Мир в игре весьма приличный по размеру с кучей обходных путей, лестниц, лифтов и всяких вариантов срезать путь. Нелинейность сюжета с необязательными боссами тоже на месте. Вы можете потратить много часов, чтобы просто изучить каждый проход, найти всех мини-боссов, предметы и тд. В игре вполне приятная графика, где можно насладиться красивыми видами на больших открытых пространствах. На моей RTX 3070 с высокими параметрами графики каких-то серьезных проблем с оптимизацией не замечал, были разве что крайне редкие просадки FPS на вершине стартовой локации и в некоторых пещерах при быстром повороте камеры. В целом по техническому исполнению претензий нет: за всё время игры был всего 1 краш, уровни грузятся быстро, нареканий к удобству управления нет. Мои претензии: В игре есть лифты и длинные лестницы, которые тратят ваше время. Представьте, что вы вызвали лифт, он может полминуты спускаться вниз и столько же ехать наверх. Вас убили наверху? Извольте снова его вызывать и ждать медленную поездку. При изучении некоторых локаций иногда создавалось впечатление, что разработчики искусственно затягивали время прохождения за счет запутанной структуры уровня, неожиданных мобов в засаде, подлых ловушек и статус эффектов, которые запросто могут вас убить. Есть вопросы к балансу, например, многих боссов гораздо проще убить с парированием, чем с уворотами. Некоторые заклинания дают сильное преимущество, тогда как другие просто посредственный урон с долгой анимацией применения. Подведу итоги Если вам понравился Wukong или старенький Dark Souls, хочется чего-то подобного, вы не боитесь трудностей и готовы потратить несколько десятков часов на изучение запутанных локаций и попытки убить боссов, то игра рекомендуется к приобретению. Сейчас разработчики активно выпускают патчи и обещают подарить всем купившим игру несколько костюмов и оружие. Посмотрим порадуют ли каким-нибудь сюжетным DLC в будущем =)

  THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY/PLAY: This game has exploration like Dark Souls 3, not like Dark Souls as a lot of people say. There is no equivalent area to firelink shrine where you can explore in 5 different areas, and you get teleport from the beginning. Non-linear inside each area, linear between areas. You basically HAVE to change your build to defeat the bosses. The game doesn't do a good enough job telling you this, but you cant rely on the dodge to get through the game. Bad "readability" on the graphics. everything blends together, like a wheres-Waldo of visual design. Has a weak visual and musical identity. Sorta generic or cobbled together feel. Nebulous story, that's hard to get invested in. Bad combat design. Cheese-fest, from both the enemies and you. It never feels like i defeated a boss or a great warrior. It feels like i out-cheesed a moving QTE. So many enemies that have a instantly repeatable attack they spam 5+ times. so tedious. Later bosses never stops attacking. That's not hyperbole, literally as soon as their combo is done they're winding up the next attack. You yourself is extremely weak. You have very slow healing animation. Every little thing knocks you down and your damage hardly tickles them. It's a slog. It surprisingly gets better late-game. or maybe i just got used to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Enemy attacks sometimes have bad hit-boxes, where you get hit after the animation has passed through you. It feels like the idea was to make enemies "hard" only they dont know how to do that so they just gave all enemies looong combos or instakill status bar or spawned groups or make them never stop their attacks. When what they should have done was try and make them fun or at least "enjoyable" in a souls-like way. I kept playing in ways that felt like it couldn't be the intended way, but i believe it was. Like switching your armor each time you see an enemy with instakill status effect. Is that the intended way to play? do they think that's fun? or deflecting the enemy attack to 1 hit tickle them, repeat until dead. You can stagger enemies to make them vulnerable to a big attack! only it does barely more dmg then your normal attack. You can retry each fight without a runback. but giant text appears after you resurrect that blocks the screen. So if u enter the fight immediately the boss can attack while you cant see them, and they do btw, instantly after stepping through the fog gate and they're in your face damaging you. Pressing the button to pick up items, twice, makes you take a step forward. so the animation of you picking up the item plays when you are away from it. I have stepped off a ledge because of this. You might think that all this means the game is hard. That you really have to pull yourself together to beat these odds, but no. Surprisingly there's only one difficulty spike called Honglan, where you have to accept that you cant make your own build but have to tailor it to the bosses. If you can beat her you can beat the rest of the game. After her the difficulty is the same or lower through the rest of the game. You enter each fight. see if they're using a weapon (you can only deflect weapons), see what elemental attacks they're using, maybe test if they're weak to an element and then change your build accordingly. I can remember 2 times the deflect and dodge timings were hard to get right. The hardest part of getting through these fight is not losing your patience as you do the same actions over and over again, for minimal gain. Souls-like combat is a fine balance to get right and this game doesn't do it. What it does have is good exploration. Even though it isnt interconnected like Dark Souls, exploring the levels is fun. Finding all the paths opening all doors and going up, down and around the level is satisfying. They are pretty good at showing you places that you will be able to reach later. Both inside the area and beyond. Multiple times the game will show you structures up on a hill, or in a valley, that looks like they might just be set dressing, but they almost never are. You will come to those places and explore them inside and out. This is the good stuff. That's the souls exploration im here for. You cant jump which the game abuses by placing tiny elevations that you cant cross, but you can look into the area. Annoying design. Not a lot of traps. some ambushes. At this point i cant really recommend Wuchang. The good doesnt outweigh the bad. Okay i completed the game and the last 2 areas are much more enjoyable then the first. I still wouldnt recommend the game, since the bad parts are still in effect but it did get better. Here are some random thoughts from the endgame. White general jank. He can counter when hit, even when not in the counter animation. I dont know why this happens. Infinite attacks. Sometimes he gets confused and cant properly lock-on to me, then goes flying off in a random direction. Some of his attacks can be deflected some of them cant. i guess the idea is that a overhead attack is too powerful, but it would be nice to have that indicated. The bosses also suffer because of everything that came before, like the game not having a noticeable difficulty curve, means that all fights feel the same. The Emperor, for example, seems like it should be a pulse-pounding encounter with him aggressively pouncing on your face, but all bosses that came before does the same. Robbing the fight of some identity. It is nice that we fight him in an empty arena, making him stand out more, and being easily readable. He also actually stop attacking once in a while! I dont know why they felt big enemies need to do that since, gameplay wise, they play exactly the same as small enemies, but okay. Overall its a better fight then a lot of the others, if viewed in a vacuum. The good part of late-game fights. there are more monstrous type enemies, which means that the fights are balanced around the dodge mechanic only. This makes them much more fun to play. They introduce some spectacle which i appreciate. Big attacks also mean that they cant be in my face all the time. Bosses more less stop the repeated attack spam. Dont know why it took so long to have a different animation for attacks. The mandated tedium is taken up by the normal mobs instead of the bosses. I dont know if that's an improvement. Seriously why do the ordinary mobs start insta-spamming attacks once the bosses stop doing it. Is it actually mandated wtf. Game also found itself a visual identity. The late areas are much better looking and unique then the beginnings. Dont know how well it connects overall but it is nice to look at sometimes even beautiful. Why couldnt the game have started like this. Exploration suffers the game becomes much more linear.

  Странные манипуляции с ценой игры, сделали дороже на предзаказ и теперь опустили цены; Просадки и FATAL ERROR от Unreal Engine на 4070 ASUS DUAL SUPER, Ryzen 7800x3d, 32 ram, m2 ssd. Короче, лучше ждать патчей и смотреть отношения разраба/издателя к игре, пока такое. И людям в лицо плюнули (не знаю на всех ли регионах такие беды с ценой) и игра по себе идёт странно. UPD 04.01.2026: спустя пол годика после патчей игра начала работать и её можно попробовать, ого. Самое лучшее, что есть в игре - локации, запутанные, соединенные разными способами, можно уйти не туда и так далее, это сделано хорошо и интересно. Визуал тоже хорош, приятные виды. Баланс врагов на самих локациях хромает, кроме боссов в игре будто тебя ничего не может остановить, а вторая половина игры так совсем ощущается будто ты машина и просто проносишь ребяток на локах. Хотелось бы, конечно, чтобы в соулс-лайках и на локациях были проблемы, а не только на боссах и то не на всех. За 24ч игры побеждены все боссы игры, даже не могу вспомнить было ли потрачено на кого-нибудь больше 5 попыток, боссы красивые, но в целом по себе довольно простенькие. Ваншотов даже почти без прокачки здоровья нет, поэтому право на ошибку есть всегда. Последний босс совсем юморной что-то, по визуалу и сражению будто проходной, а потом хоп и игра закончилась. Боёвка довольно ватная местами, играл через одноручный меч, так как другие оружки показались уж больно кисельными. Самый приятный выбор как по мне. Короче, играть только ради локаций, пары боссов и ради приятных форм героини. Сюжет с шансом 99% вы не поймёте и по пути будете забывать всех НПС, китайщина такая китайщина.
