Kung Fu Jesus

Being a schizophrenic, bad-ass, kung fu warrior in a crazy world of crime organizations, alternate dimensions, lizard people and ex-wives ain't simple, especially if you have to deal with insane visual and auditory hallucinations. This is an RPG-ish 2.5D retro street brawler inspired by 70s, 80s and 90s pop culture. The game is not for everyone and probably not the ideal casual game to relax a little after school or work. Nevertheless, the colorful environment and strange music samples combined with some good old martial arts can be quite interesting. Only for fans of psychedelic cult weirdness.

I haven't finished the game yet but this is my impression so far. [b]Gameplay:[/b] The gameplay consists mostly of a "2.5D" world I guess where you move side to side and you can move a little bit up and down the environment as well with mostly simple fighting mechanics in my limited experience of fighting games. There are fun combos that you can learn from doing different things and there are abilities that you can discover as you progress, all the while gradually leveling up your total health and energy levels. There are also a good amount of minigames which are surprisingly well made and fleshed out. To me they almost don't really feel like "minigames" in a sense because of how well made the ones I have come across have been. However, one downside is that once you are inside a minigame I don't believe there is any way of getting out of it until you have beaten it. [b]Soundtrack:[/b] The soundtrack of this game is stunning! It helps create the very unique atmosphere and so far the soundtrack is one of my very favorites of any game's and honestly even some of the best music I've heard in general in my opinion.

It's painful to play this game long enough to be allowed to review it. It's obvious that someone put a lot of time into this game, and the whacked out story had me interested in progressing, but... the gameplay is so bad I can't force myself to continue. Unfortunately, the game sat in my library for almost a month before I played it, so I was outside the time window for a refund. Please learn from my loss. A short list of features: -No indication of how to leave the first room. Maybe you'll stumble into it. Maybe you won't. -Stiff controls. -Must repeat pointless hallways and dialogues over and over if you lose a fight. -Nonsensical difficulty ramping. -There might be more features, but I'm not sticking around to find out.

Disorienting visuals, inability to control the audio, no subtitles to make understanding the ambient dialogue, poor controls in a 2.5 brawler gameplay, and the shallow philosophy of an excited freshman's first day sociology course. I bought this game thinking it'd be a fun short romp, this wasn't even worth the $15.
