Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise

Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise is an arcade beat 'em up game developed by Qooc Software and published by Digital Tribe.

The one word that can be used to describe Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise is insane. Better yet, we can call it choreographed insanity. The game is probably the only one that managed to capture the spirit of Kung-fu movies without becoming ridiculous. Since the source material is already exaggerated enough, there is no reason for the game to go over the top itself.

Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise is a beat 'em up game, which means that you have to beat wave after wave of enemies, punctuated by a boss from time to time. The differences from regular games in this genre is that this one is taking place in a 3D environment, which makes things a lot better, but it also detracts from the experience from time to time.

I don’t think that Qooc Software imagined that they are going to create one of the best arcade fighting games, but this is what they managed to achieve. Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise is not without its flaws, but the feeling of exuberance that you get while playing this title can help users overcome any kind of issues that might arise.

The gameplay principle is quite simple. You get a button for regular hits, one button for jumping hits, and one for blocking. Some combinations between them are possible, and the moves can be upgraded. Even if it seems like there is not a lot of room for innovation, the fights are extremely intense, and they never feel repetitive.

The game is governed by a special fighting system that makes everything flow. It has some flaws and the camera sometimes is poorly placed, but overall players will be able to get the gist of it pretty quickly.

The fights are difficult, and it will take some time to master the system, but the demo has four different levels, so there is plenty of time to learn how to play it.
