Kings of Kung Fu

[h1]Also Contains Two Queens of Kung Fu[/h1] Kings of Kung Fu is not all that fun and feels like a very unfinished fighting game. It's an interesting take on the fighting genre but lacks what most crave in the genre, decent combos. At most, the combos in this game are only three to five hit combos. The CPU bots are horrendous and feel like you're playing against a 3 year old mashing buttons and it doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, they are all easy. Also, the hitbox area for punches is way off with some characters where you punch air and still land hits on your opponent. Pausing the game has annoying three second repeating music that will drive you insane! Some stages have glitches such as the character's feet disappearing. You're better off playing other fighting games that have so much more to offer. 100% achievements is time consuming but doable. Is it fun doing so tho? No, not really. I don't recommend this game for achievement hunters. [h2]4/10[/h2] [h2][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45905648-Gork%2527s-Game-Grind/]Check out my curated list of games[/url][/h2]

Kings of Kung Fu, developed by Jae Lee Productions and published by Digital Tribe, is a 2D fighting game that draws heavily from the golden era of martial arts cinema, aiming to recreate the spirit and style of classic kung fu films within a competitive gameplay framework. It is a project clearly driven by passion, with a strong emphasis on homage and aesthetic identity, but it ultimately delivers an experience that feels uneven when measured against the expectations of the fighting game genre. The game follows a traditional one-on-one fighting format, offering a roster of martial artists inspired by various kung fu archetypes. Each character is designed to reflect a distinct fighting style, giving players a range of options when approaching combat. On a conceptual level, this diversity adds interest and variety, encouraging experimentation with different techniques and strategies. However, while the characters appear distinct in design, the depth of their movesets and the way they translate into gameplay can feel limited, reducing the sense of individuality over extended play. Combat is built around a simplified control scheme that prioritizes accessibility. Basic attacks and co…

I don't know that I'd call this a good fighting game but if you're thinking of buying it then you can probably guess that that's hardly the point. It delivers in exactly all of the ways that it wants to, and it has an absolutely delightful level of jank if you've got a healthy appreciation for jank in an action game. If you're not looking for some novelty, or if you come in trying to find a competitive fighting game in this, you're gonna feel pretty bad. Everyone else: get it on a discount, soak up the vibe, groove to the menu music, laugh a little, and have fun trying to make your wish dot com fighters do what you want them to do.

Kings of Kung Fu is 'old school' in every sense of the word, and that is a compliment. The graphics look like a grainy 1980s Kung Fu movie straight out of Hong Kong, the soundtrack grooves away and the animations, whilst janky, do the job as you beat you way through opponents. Most characters are worth playing and they have a solid move list. You can spam your way to victory (there's actually no choice for the last achievement), but it is much better being curious and inventitve, especially when you roll off a 7+ combo. This clearly isn't a AAA title, and that is perhaps a blessing. Apparently made by a single developer, they've stayed true to not only their vision of kung-fu, but the traditional elements of the discipline as well. It's grounded, uncomplicated and a lot of fun. I first played this over a decade ago, I've enjoyed revisiting and mopping up content in this title.

My cat fled mid-fight. The punches are too real. Now I need a dojo and a therapist.

Kings of Kungfu is a Fighting Game and its selling point is the Shaw Brothers inspired Fighters. There is no Jackie Chan, no Bruce Lee, No Jet Li or Chuck Norris, but you clearly recognize them because they look veeeeeeery close to the originals. The Controls are average but not bad. It feels a little limited if you ever played a Tekken Game in your life but actually the game still is fun. There isn´t a real ending sequence in the game except your character portairt in the End a "You won" Screen. But still. The game is entertaining, especially for Kung Fu Film Nerds These ones can spend the ten bucks without even to hestitate. All others maybe wait for a sale.
