Wuchang Fallen Feathers Difficulty Explained Can You Change Difficulty Settings?
There are no difficulty options to adjust in-game for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. See more about whether you can change the difficulty settings and how difficulty works on New Game+ here!

Difficulty Explained

Enemy Strength is Tied to Progression

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, much like other soulslike games, does not have any difficulty options when you dive into it. The game becomes more difficult as enemy health and damage increase when you reach new areas and regions. You are also introduced to stronger and faster bosses in the long run.

If you're having difficulty in progression or defeating certain enemies, know that you're not alone! Soulslike games are hard in general, so expect some struggle throughout your playthrough. If you want to learn tips on how to get better at the game, we highly recommend check out these guides below:

Difficulty Increases on New Game Plus

On the other hand, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers does have difficulty scaling as you enter into New Game+. This can be seen on your save file at the main menu as Causality Reversal where the number increases once you start New Game Plus.

Do note that New Game Plus offers upgraded Pendants and increased enemy damage and health so make sure you are well prepared before starting one.

Can You Change Difficulty Settings?

No Adjustable Difficulty Options

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers does not have any difficulty settings that you can adjust to fit your preferences. As mentioned, the game is designed to have a linear progression with a difficulty curve that increases as you progress, similiar to Sekiro and Bloodborne.
