FINALLY. It took me a ridiculously long time to read this book, mostly because I kept putting it down and forgetting about it until the next time Eloy sent out a notification that there was another Kickstarter on the go.
Wu Xing looks like a really great, fast-paced, action-packed ninja RPG. There are already 3 splat books out for it, with at least one more due out in 2014. Take your pick of clan, customize your ninja however you want, and head out to battle the Izou Empire, your once-allies.
The combat system only looks complicated. There are plenty of examples to walk you through it, and it seems extremely intuitive after a quick practice round or two. Chargen can take a bit of time, given how many different skills, combat paths/techniques, and wushu there are to choose from.
