If you want to support the makers of Kung Fury go on and buy it, but it definitely isn't worth $2. Following in the spirit of the film, Kung Fury: Street Rage rides the '80s nostalgia theme right into the ground. The pixel art is appropriately sylized to imitate the aesthetic of old arcade beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage or Double Dragon. It even adds a filter to make it look like an old convex arcade screen. And unlike One Finger Death Punch, this game made an effort to look good. This is a game that you just open up on your phone to play while riding the bus. You just play on the same level until you drop.īut that's not an entirely bad thing, and here's why: much like the movie, this game is a short but sweet retro time-waster. Imagine that game (if any of you played it) but without adjustable difficulty, levels, alternate game modes, or unlockable special moves. If this sounds at all familiar to any you, that's because this game is pretty much a simplified rip-off of One Finger Death Punch. When the game throws about half a dozen at you at the same time, all with different sequences required to defeat them, that's when things get hectic and challenging. The more interesting enemies take multiple hits and wrap around you as you hit them, requiring you to memorize their patterns and create sequences. The standard enemies are just Nazi peons that die in one hit. You just wait until an enemy gets within range, then press the direction he's coming from. The controls are stupidly simple: left and right for attacks.
