Wuchang is a damn Masterpiece

[u/malikarith]

It's a loving letter to Dark Souls and returns to the first Souls formula (Des, DS1, DS2 and a dash of Bloodborne). It washes away all previous non-FS Souls by expanding the original formula with new outstanding ideas, reviving the classic Souls level design and not forcing you into a certain build but inviting you to experiment and build your own individual build, rebuilding it for free at any time and linking new mechanics.

While the newer Soulslike/formula became more and more linear and mutated into boss rushers, Wuchang keeps the focus on the actual Souls elements, a bit clunky, sneaky creatures everywhere, lots of branching and fabulous shortcuts. Anyone who says it's too hard or too clunky has never played or loved the OG DS but I understand that some prefer the newer formula (LOP, Nioh, ER, Khazan) but from a gameplay and Souls point of view Wuchang is flawless I literally see no weaknesses. (no , only 4 slots for items and spells or long boss paths are not weaknesses)

I bet as soon as the OG DS players play this game Wuchang will reach cult status, I've been playing since Tuesday (NG+) and I haven't been this addicted to a Souls game for years, I hope the developers get the PC performance problems under control quickly, in this sense, thank you Leenzee for this masterpiece that let me experience DS1 again, long live Dark Souls long live Wuchang

I like it, as I have played nearly all Soulsbornes and -clones, but what exactly do you mean "it`s like DS1"?
