Alright, let’s dive into this whole WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers ordeal. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe not. It’s from Leenzee and 505 Games, and — yeah — it’s one of those Soulslike action RPGs. You know the type, right? Think late Ming Dynasty china meets alternate history with a supernatural bang. Insane, right? I mean, don’t ask me why this stuff sticks, but a female pirate with amnesia dealing with a Feathering disease… it’s a strange fit. Those feathers apparently make people go bonkers and turn them beastly. Totally voice acted too. Nice touch.
So, starting this ride, you’re scooting Bai Wuchang around with the left stick and twirling the camera with the right. Interacting with things? That’s the X button’s job. Swing some light attacks with R1, get heavier with R2. And, gosh, don’t forget to dodge using Circle. Hold it to sprint if you feel the need — not that I ever remember in time.
Switch your weapons and spells with the D-Pad. Triangle casts spells; you’ll start with this cool ancient sword. There are loads of weapons, by the way. Grab some armor and you’ll be juicing up your stats. Armor does stuff like ‘mitigation’ and ‘resistance’—big fancy words for not dying as fast, I guess.
And these Jade Pendants? Oh boy, they’re like little buffs that sometimes play along. Collect spells too. Magic, feathering — the whole shebang. Without enough Skyborn Might though, you’re spell-less. It’s kinda like having a fancy car but no gas.
Defeat baddies, collect their loot—or it heads to the Donation Box. Red Mercury is important too. Level up using it, but be careful. If you kick it early, hello demons at your last spot. Clever move? Use other creatures to beat it up. Or just panic, whatever floats your boat.
Then there’s this crazy trophy list. Platinum anyone? Good luck! You’ll need to juggle endings, bosses, and weapon finds — way easier said than done. No clue why people like those shiny trophies, but hey, to each their own.
Anyway, WUCHANG hits the shelves tomorrow for PS5. It’s at a cool $49.99, but why not splash out $59.99 for that Deluxe Edition? Costumes and weapons galore!
I mean, there’s more, I think. Like, graphics options? HDR, sharpening, motion blur – tech wizardry, if you ask me.
That’s about it. Grab some popcorn, maybe a cozy place to hide when the big bad bosses show up. Seems like a wild ride.
