I would bang Wuchang

I would bang Wuchang

But would you mukbang Wuchang on the chain gang?

Wasn't the developer dissolved because sales didn't meet expectations?

because sales didn't meet expectations?

Sales were good. The problem was the outrage.

How was the game btw? I never got around to playing it because it looked like another run of the mill Soulslike.

 

[adamsapple]

Wuchang clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I love this kind of high and mighty posts while consuming 90% of products made in China.

Outrage about what?

Not bad, but definitely just a run of the mill Soulslike.
Also UE5 so it looks like shit on consoles and lower end PC hardware.

They weren't. Sales were ~35mio on budget of 50mio

2nd game will probably reuse assets heavily from the 1st/reduce scope/quality (or both) as dev budget got cut down from ~30mio to ~25mio

That's exactly what it is. Okay game, forgettable and nothing to stand out because the Chinese setting was done by Wukong before.

I can happily live without China trash at least in gaming and I hope even other kind of products

 

[Draugoth]

I bought all the three controllers of the game from China and my total playtime in this is a grand total of 50 minutes

 

[Signalis]

Depends if I've already eaten.

Cant really remember....but some of these bosses in the game are actually chinese gods and CCP didnt seem to like that they can die in the game. Thats what the eastern committee is caring about!

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Great game.

 

[Arsic]

Wu Slop Wo Slop Never Stop!

Pop pop!!!

Ok as I thought then.

One thing pretty much every Soulslike fails to do, is to have great level design and exploration. Thats a huge part of why FromSoftware games are a huge cut above the rest, and nobody else seems to either understand that or attempt to emulate it.

 

[corgiix3]

This game is super underrated. Great combat, bosses, and level design. Just need either a PS5 pro or strong PC to really do it justice cause of glorious UE5

 

[ssringo]

Super happy about this news. Wuchang is probably my favorite non From Souls-like. Finished my 100% earlier this year.

Thought it was better than wukong. More combat variety and actual soulslike levels. Wukong looks more visually striking though, but so many invisible barriers make every zone feel like a hallway except the snow zone.

 

[Techno_Inked]

Whoa this wasn't expected at all, since Leenzee was no more.
Nonetheless, it's a very welcome surprise, my number 2 fav game of last year.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Fantastic news!

Loved the first game. Excellent gameplay and level design, beautiful graphics and artstyle and solid framerate while playing on a base PS5.

One of the best games I've played this year.

 

[Gaiff]

Oh, yeah, I remember that one.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Din't care about the first one, nothing chaged for the second one.

It's a UE 5.1 game after all.

 

[Cre8]

Platinum the first game, looking forward to the sequel.

 

[WoeIsMe]

Cool, I'll check it out when it comes out!

Wuchang was no masterpiece, but a really solid Soulslike, better than Lords of the Fallen, but a long way from Lies of Ps greatness(which is the best non-From Souls thus far).

Hopefully the sequel joins Game Pass like the first one. =)

 

[Arachnid]

I hope it has more enemy variety. Literally my only issue with this game.

Well, that and the post launch censorship. Fuck China.

What was the outrage all about? This game looks fun and sexy.

 

[GravityMan]

Great news. Finished the first game a couple of weeks ago on PC and loved it, one of the best Soulslikes out there. Some really good boss fights, good combat system, nice art direction, and good level design especially after the second boss. I think it helped that I didn't start playing it until after all the patches. I don't care about the China "controversy".

 

[Memati187]

Awesome game, better than recent fromsoft slop, especially elden ring.

day1 4 me

 

[MagiusNecros]

Hopefully the sequel keeps the DS1 world design template. My favorite thing about Wuchang.

 

[Aion002]

Nice.

I liked the first one a lot, I am definitely interested in a sequel.

Alongside Lies of P, it has one of the best souls like level designs outside of From Software games.

I hope they add more build variety and improve the story.

 

[Lux R7]

I'm glad to hear that, i really enjoyed the first game.

Guy must be rich. China makes a lot of shit.

Give me that China "trash". I'm no american and appreciate the amount of stuff they produce. The stereotypical "made in China" subpar product quality doesn't stand any longer for a bunch of stuff. They do steal and reverse engineer tech like nobody's business to produce inferior and cheaper stuff but, at the same time, they keep it on improving and aim to take that slice of the market.

Just look at current built EV Cars from China. They can explode from time to time, but the build quality and level of features you get for the same price or cheaper than an US/Europe made EV is out of this world. No wonder brands like GWM and BYD are biting large sizes of the international market.
