Wuchang: Fallen Feathers launched recently with mostly positive feedback, but PC players on Steam are having a rough time. The game’s rating on the platform has dropped to “Mostly Negative,” primarily due to performance issues and confusion surrounding the Deluxe edition gift that some standard edition buyers received.
Many players are frustrated, not with the gameplay itself, but with how the game runs on their systems. Some have shared specs like a 4070 Super GPU, a 7800X3D CPU, and 64GB RAM, yet still call it one of the worst-performing games they’ve played, outside of Monster Hunter: World. There’s even a discussion thread where users post their PC specs and report how the game behaves on their machines.
On the other hand, some argue that poor performance is due to players’ hardware limitations, advising others not to blame the game if their PCs can’t handle it. Another thread points out that even users with top-tier GPUs, such as the 4090 or 5090, sometimes report that the game runs fine, but it reminds us that optimization isn’t just about high-end setups.
Community Reaction and Developer Response
Players are already flooding the Steam review section with negative feedback before any patches have arrived. It’s clear that the community wants fixes soon. Console players, by contrast, don’t seem to be experiencing these problems, at least not widely reported ones.
Leenzee, the developer, will likely need to prioritize patches to improve performance and address the Deluxe gift confusion. I’m curious how quickly they’ll respond. Does anyone else feel like these kinds of problems should be caught before launch? Hmm…nope.
Have you tried Wuchang: Fallen Feathers on PC or console? What’s your experience been like?
