Wuchang: Fallen Feathers review and Metacritic score roundup — does this "brutally difficult" Xbox Game Pass Soulslike live up to expectations?

A screenshot taken from one of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers' official trailers.

Outside of FromSoftware's own Elden Ring Nightreign, The First Berserker: Khazan, and the Overture DLC for Lies of P, 2025 has been fairly light on new Soulslike experiences for fans of the difficult action RPG genre. One of the year's biggest, however, is hours away from release: Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the debut title of Chinese developer Leenzee from publisher 505 Games.

Wuchang has garnered quite a bit of attention in the months leading up to its imminent launch, with players attracted to its aggressive and challenging Sekiro-like combat and also its day one availability on Xbox Game Pass — a service that offers access to quality Soulslikes very often.
