WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers—a mouthful of a name, right? So, imagine you’re in Shu during the late Ming Dynasty. But not the boring history class version, this one’s all supernatural and stuffed with monsters itching to wipe you out. And you? You’re Bai Wuchang, a kickass pirate with—surprise—amnesia and a gnarly disease making everyone go bonkers and look feathery. Spooky stuff.
Anyway, here’s how you survive: the usual joy-sticky stuff to move around, bash monsters, and dodge like your life depends on it (it does). The buttons do things like locking on enemies or sprinting all panic-mode while weapons, cool as they come, swap easy peasy depending on what fights your fancy—swords, axes, dual thingamajigs. Armor? Yup, that too. Stat boosts galore.
You get Jade Pendants—fancy bling giving unexpected perks. Must’ve been a Black Friday deal they forgot to remove. Now, spells! They’re magic, obviously, but some are all about how crazy you’re feeling (aka the Feathering bit). Oh, about that craziness—too high, and bada-bing, bada-boom! You summon a demon. Fun, right?
Trophies? Collect-a-thon galore for every little boss-beating, item-hoarding whim. Fancy that Platinum trophy? You’ll sweat chasing those.
And hey, the game drops tomorrow. Tricks up the graphic settings’ sleeves with HDR if your screen’s hip enough. Slap down $49.99 unless you’re splurging on Deluxe—then it’s $59.99. Extra costumes and weapons to spice it up.
So that’s WUCHANG for ya. More thrilling than a history book, and who’d argue with fighting feathery phantoms in ancient China?
