Wondering how long Wuchang: Fallen Feathers will test your skills? Here’s a gamer-friendly guide breaking down hours to beat, regions to explore, and sidequests worth chasing.
So… How Long Is This Game Gonna Eat Your Life?
If you’re diving into Wuchang: Fallen Feathers expecting a chill little action-adventure stroll—yeah, no. You’re in for a brutal, plague-ridden slog of martial arts, magic, and getting bodied by everything from monsters to morally-questionable monks.
Expect your first playthrough to run 40–60 hours, give or take depending on how cracked you are at Soulslike combat. This ain’t your average hack ‘n slash—every enemy has hands, and some of them really want to see you suffer.
- Average time: 40–60 hours
- Boss fights: Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour (Yes, per boss)
- Rushing through? Possible. Regretful? Also possible.
Where You’ll Be Dying: The Regions Breakdown
Wuchang throws you into five chunky regions, and each of them packs enough sub-areas, enemies, and sneaky trap corners to keep you second-guessing every footstep. Expect layered paths, optional routes, and shortcuts that feel like finding the secret warp pipe in Super Mario—only the pipe is guarded by a corrupted warlord and some soul-crushing lore.
A Quick Peek:
- 5 Major Regions
- Each region = ~8 hours (if you’re just pushing story and dodging distractions)
- Fully exploring? Yeah, double that.
The game rewards thoroughness. You’ll find hidden loot, lore bits, and even sidequests tucked into nooks most people would miss unless they hugged every wall like a paranoid raccoon.
Sidequests: You Blink, You Miss
Yes, there are sidequests. No, the game doesn’t hold your hand through them. Think Dark Souls NPCs that give you cryptic vibes and then vanish into the void until you accidentally trip over them 10 hours later in a swamp.
Sidequest Survival Tips:
- Talk to every NPC until they repeat themselves. Like, fully exhaust their dialogue. Trust.
- Pick up every weird item. Then go talk to someone—anyone—and they might have something new to say.
- The game doesn’t track these quests, so if you’re the “I need to 100% everything” type, keep a notepad or spreadsheet on the side. Old school.
Thoughts
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is one of those games that doesn’t ask if you’re ready—it just throws you into the fire and tells you to dance. And honestly? That’s what makes it great.
It’s Soulslike in structure but gives you just enough narrative clarity that you’re not completely lost in a fever dream. If you’re into deep lore, challenging combat, and that sweet sense of triumph after your 19th death—this one’s worth your time.
Just remember:
- Pace yourself.
- Don’t skip the NPC convos.
- And never trust a hallway that looks too empty.
