[PlayStation 5] Review of WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers

Alright, let’s dive into this chaotic adventure, shall we?

So, we’re in Shu, this mythical land in the late Ming Dynasty, yeah? WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, by Leenzee and 505 Games, takes you on this wild ride. I mean, it’s got that Soulslike vibe, totally challenging, with monsters lurking around every bend. Oh, and you’re pirating as Bai Wuchang – she’s got amnesia (of course, right?) and this gnarly Feathering disease. It turns people into, you guessed it, bloodthirsty beasts. Talk about a bad day!

Now, once you jump into the game, it’s all about feeling the controls – left stick moves you, right stick lets you gawk around. And the buttons? X for interacting, R1 and R2 for light and heavy attacks. Circle’s your dodge button. Hit it often, trust me.

You’ll start with this ancient sword, but you can snag more weapons: axes, spears, you name it. Five types, each with its charm. Armor too, for upping those stats. And Jade Pendants? Magic buffs galore! Just slap ’em on and feel the power (or wait for conditions… you know how these things go).

Enemies drop loot (who doesn’t love treasure?). Miss something? No worries, it’s in the Donation Box. Thank the game gods for that. Red Mercury’s the real MVP here, leveling you up and staying as a currency for sweet purchases. Hit the Impetus Repository to refine it – become the ultimate dragon slayer or whatever.

Oh, max out your health, stamina, strength – all that jazz. Each stat boost makes you a tad more invincible, and your strength fuels weapon damage. Agility’s for the nimble folks wanting to dance around foes. Yet, if Madness tops out, you’re facing a demon. Yep, a literal demon.

There’s more – how about those trophies? There’s a slew of them: 24 Bronze, 11 Silver, and 4 Gold for starters. Unlock weapons, Jade Pendants, max out that Manna Vase. Maybe summon NPCs, beat bosses, hit every ending. Trophy hunters, this one’s your jam.

Graphics settings? They got options like HDR, motion blur – the usual suspects. Choose your mode. Whatever your flavor, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers delivers on PS5 for $49.99. Add a dash of Deluxe for $59.99 if you’re feeling fancy.

Here’s the kicker: this mess of a writeup came from a PS5 version from 505 Games. They handed it over for review, so shoutout to them, I guess.

What was I saying? Oh, right. Dive into the madness and enjoy surviving Shu’s twisted journey.
