So I just bought Weapons of the Gods and I was wondering what people thought of it? I'm also looking for recommendations for other wuxia/martial arts games that aren't Exalted

Weapons of the Gods is kind of obsolete by now, unfortunately.

Legends of the Wulin is a game by the same company which takes a lot of the same ideas but executes them a lot better. It's still worth owning WotG for the fluff though.

Saying that, LotW is far from perfect. Its editing is a total clusterfuck which makes learning the system far harder than it needs to be, and it has a few core balance issues that need to be houseruled.

Sadly, it'll likely never be updated or get extra content due to the company behind it imploding after the chinese half ran away with all the money, but there's a decent amount of fan content at wulinlegends.pbworks.com, along with the fan made companion/errata book the Half Burnt Manual.

Better than Weapons of the Gods' editing, at least. If you take time to read through it carefully, figuring out LotW isn't too hard. WotG, though...I shouldn't have to pick mechanics out of little snippets spread through the lore. That's really bad. LotW sort of does that, too, with the loresheets, but everything in them is add-ons to the core stuff, not essential mechanics. Those are all sensibly grouped in their own separate sections.

LotW does have a few bits and pieces of that, or rules that aren't explicitly stated and need to be extrapolated from exceptions, but yeah. WotG was way worse.

What would you suggest for a wacky martial arts adventure like Jackie Chan movies, the Journey to the West movie, or Ranma 1/2?

Depending on your preferred level of mechanical crunch, Legends of the Wulin, Feng Shui or Wushu, from complex to simple.
