Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a soulslike action RPG that draws heavily from both the soulslike genre and the history of the Middle Kingdom. The game was developed by the Chinese studio Leenzee.

Plot

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers takes us to an alternative version of historical China, specifically - to the land of Shu from the dark and turbulent times of the late Ming dynasty, destroyed as a result of civil wars and the invasion of monsters straight from the worst nightmares.

The main character of the game is a female pirate warrior named Wuchang, who not only struggles with amnesia, but also suffers from a terrifying disease called ornitropy. While traveling through Shu, the protagonist must challenge the darkness that threatens this land and discover the truth about the curse that binds it. How her dangerous adventure will unfold and end largely depends on the choices we make.

Gameplay

In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). During the game we explore various locations, among which there are abandoned temples and ruined settlements, as well as dark wilderness. While traversing them, we fight fierce and dynamic battles with opponents, led by terrifying monsters acting as bosses.

On the battlefield, we must not only dodge and launch accurate attacks, but also observe enemies in search of weak points and gaps in their defense. We eliminate enemies using melee weapons and various combat skills. Our arsenal can be strengthened using powerful spells and we expand the range of abilities by using a substance called red mercury.

Along the way, we gradually learn more about the game world and the characters inhabiting it (among which there is no shortage of potential allies), and we also get to know the protagonist's past. From time to time, the game also allows us to make decisions that affect the further fate of the heroine and the entire land.
