Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Faces Backlash After Patch 1.5

The launch of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers was anything but smooth, as players flooded Steam with negative reviews highlighting serious performance issues on PC. Despite the developers' apologies and attempts to implement fixes, the situation spiraled into further controversy with the arrival of Patch 1.5.

Unexpected Changes Ignite Censorship Claims

Patch 1.5 introduced startling changes: once-vanquished NPCs and bosses surrendered to exhaustion rather than meeting their demise. This alteration sparked speculation that it was in response to complaints about cultural insensitivity, especially in China. However, the developers have remained silent about the motivations behind these changes, leading many gamers to denounce it as blatant censorship.

Enter DarkmoonBlade: The Modder to the Rescue

For those eager to revert to the original experience, look no further than modder DarkmoonBlade, who has swiftly rolled out a mod to roll back the controversial patch. This solution promises to restore everything removed in Patch 1.5.

According to DarkmoonBlade, "Wuchang 1.5 massively downgrades the game experience. Most late-game bosses and enemies now offer exhausting banter instead of advancing the rich narrative we've come to love." The dissatisfaction with the patch is palpable, and players aren't hesitating to voice their frustrations.

Mod Gains Traction in Record Time

Since its release just yesterday, DarkmoonBlade's mod has already racked up over 500 downloads. With no clear signs from the developers about rolling back the changes, this might just be the only viable solution for players looking to reclaim the original charm of Wuchang.

The Narrative Shift: Bosses Now 'Test' Rather Than 'Kill'

Players have noted a significant narrative shift in the game. Rather than facing death, bosses now claim their battles are merely tests of skill, completely altering the immersive experience. The developers still have the chance to reassess their changes, but with a dissatisfied player base crying foul, it appears the call for action is growing louder.
