  First things first: "Kings of Kung Fu" ain't a good fighting game that you want to be installed on your PC/console for the occasion when your friends come by to play. Neither it suits those who seek glory in some international multiplayer/cybersport contest. It's a typical indie project made mostly by one man, and as the most of such projects, it lacks polishing, a good engine with proper hitbox registration, fast and fluid combat with fancy video effects... It is not that type of fighting game. On the other hand, it is not some shovelware made only to grab some quick cash or to practice some amateur coding skills. It's a game that was made with love for classical kung fu movies, and it actually provides everything it promises: various characters and backgrounds inspired by famous action movies. For example, Tony Jaa is there, more specifically, his famous Muay Thai Kickboxer protagonist (known from 2003). However, most of the characters are from the golden age of Golden Harvest Productions, including Bruce Lee, Jet Li (two different characters), Jackie Chen (also two characters), Bolo Yeung... also JCVD, Cynthia Rothrock, Chuck Norris and some other, less known action movie heroes. And that's a great feeling. To beat Bruce Lee with Chuck Norris in Rome, make some fast splits and nut cracks with "John Deux"... If you ain't a fan of those movies, just pass by already, will you? And if you're still here... Look. Like I said from the start, you can't compare this product with AAA-fightings like MK, Tekken or Street Fighter. Combat in "Kings of Kung Fu" looks awkward: combo moves feel very hard and unnatural at first, hitboxes look like you're really a stuntman in action movie and can hit with your kick a target in 3 meters away... But you can manage all that. Don't judge this game until you'll try it on hard, okay? All in all, my mark is 6/10. I am almost sure that you will not regret the buying of Kings of Kung Fu if you're a fan of old-school kung fu movies and get the game with the discount. The whole price ain't that big, but... Yeah, it's an indie game which crashes sometimes, and you can surely find many more solid fighting games for your buck. Except... Those other and better fighting games won't make you feel like doing homage to your childhood heroes.

  Been trying the game periodically since the first early access release and am sad to say it simply is not a good game. While they may have improved other parts of the game, the biggest part has remained largely unchanged. The things it does right are the visual effects and the sound. Definitely feels like an old kung fu movie by looking at it. Luckily you can toggle each of the options if you don't like them. Biggest thing it does wrong? The actual gameplay. The combat is horrible, just so stiff and clunky. Kung fu should be smooth and fluid, graceful almost. The game is not fun to play at all. If the clunky movements and animations were not enough sometimes the controls just don't work right. There are other issues, like the characters not quite looking human, but the biggest part of a fighting game (the fighting) is what ruins this game. I love Kung fu movies and to this day have lots of fun watching old ones I've never heard of. I know it's not popular anymore so it's even more rare for a game like this to exist. Sadly this was so disappointing I wish I never had bought it.

  I was a big fan of old school martial arts movies... Bloodsport, Enter the Dragon, The Last Dragon for those that want to mix Kung Fu and break dancing.. which heck if you were alive during the 80's those were the two things which you loved... This game much like the 80's an acquired taste.. it has some great classic characters.... an amazing sound track and the old grainy look will leave you busting out your breakdancing gear unfortunately the game play seems stuck in 80's right along with all these classic characters. The game isn't fluid at all, the trailers are downright misleading. You'll never play the game as fluid and smooth as the trailers show. The controls are stiff and slightly unresponsive.. The Hit detection seems to be at best flawed, sometimes you'll see your foot fly through someone face with no dmg... other times you'll hit thin air and see someone fly to the ground like a sack of bricks.. Also the AI is weak, you can win by using the same move or combo of moves over and over again.. Cheese factor is high in this one... If you want a good compaison think of the Original Mortal Kombat, this game's combat and character stiffness seems nearly identical if not slightly worse.. although button responsiveness MK has a massive leg up. I won't say the game can't improve, but seeing as the Development team removed the Early Access and the last update aside from adding cards to the game was done about 3 months ago I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet the game won't be improved any longer. This just isn't a game I can recommend with a 9.99 price tag, if you can are a huge 80's kung fu flick type of guy.. it might be worth it just for some kicks and giggles, if you're a fighting game fan, you have far better choices for far cheaper prices..

  Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, Jim Kelly (Williams), Bolo Yeung. All with a few of their signature moves from the movies. Whats not to love here? When I fought as Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris was my opponent, the stage selected the Colisseum and had the kitty in the background. 10/10

  Very very oldschool game... in fact so oldschool it hurts sometimes. Graphics are sub par, with partly terrible animations and a questionable collision checking, sometimes you hit the enemy while hitting empty air and sometimes you miss, while hitting him square in the face. Also my game never played as smooth as showing in the trailers. Story too is non existant.. The positive touch is naturally the homage to all the old fighting movies and their characters. The fighters have their different move sets (which isnt easy to execute, especially the combos) and each resemble some of the heroes of the cheesy martial arts flicks. From Bloodsport, to white hosed Chuck to the Cast of Enter the Dragon and so on. All in all this game is just like the old movies... cheap, cheesy and shouldn´t be measured by todays standards, but you can have some fun out of it, if you´re a fan.

  The game has been officially released so here are my thoughts about this title. First of all i wanna congratulate the small developing team for bringing such a game to life. Its really nice to know that there are so many passionate indie game developers that can offer so much for so little. Kings of Kung Fu is an original fighting game, based on old kung fu movies and the game itself couldnt be a more sheer tribute to those films. Now on to the game itself. The good stuff: 1. Amazing nostalgia feelings for the old Kung fu movie era 2. One of the greatest soundtracks i have ever heard, homage to those old movies style 3. Full and interesting and everexpanding roster of characters based on real fighters (Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris!!!) 4. Great level design and amazing details to make you feel like you are a part of a kung fu movie. 5. Nice and easy gameplay, but hard to master. The bad stuff: 1. Controls are not as responsive as they should be. 2. Combos are hard to master 3. Combat still has some bugs that need to be wiped out (you can win a whole round just by doing low right kick ^^) 4. Graphics are really nice and polished, but for this day and age not the top quality i would like. 5. No online multiplayer To conclude, for me Kings of Kung fu is a really good game. It has some flaws, but considering the effort it has been made by a rather small team, i would say this is something most of us can pass through. For the most part its a really enjoyable game and you will have tons of fun playing either by yourself or with some of your m8s locally. At the moment there is no online multiplayer, so i know for a lot of you thats a turn off, but still it could happen in the future. If you like old Kung Fu movies and if you ever wanna see what it Feels like to be Bruce Lee facing Chuck Norris once more, buy this little gem ^^

  I love the atmosphere of the game and the tribute it pays to various martial arts movie stars of the last 40 or so years. Unfortunately, the game itself is not much fun to play. The control of the characters feels awkward and the mechanics are off. Moves sometimes register as hits without actually making contact. I hate to give bad marks to game that allows you to have a Donnie Yen Vs. Sonny Chiba fight, but I must in this case.

  Poor quality. Bad controls, absurdly simplistic, boring stages. Aside from the 3D graphics, 1991's Street Fighter II is more impressive and fulfilling in every way. A disappointment that doesn't belong in a modern video game library unless placed in the 99 cent Indie section (when full price). I paid over $1 for this and I am disappointed.

  It's a good Idea, and it looks nice, but the sad truth is it just doesnt work. The movement is terrible and unnatural, the controls dont respond as you'd expect, and the animation clearly shows the limited budget. The only reason anyone should buy this game is if they are unwilling to let go of the slim hope that maybe, just MAYBE, the fighting mechanics will one day be rebuilt from the ground up. These kings must train more. Their kung fu is weak.

  Idea is nice, but the controls aren't too fluent. everything feels a little too stiff. Nice choice of oldschool characters, but needs way more characters, to choose from. especially from the recent generations of kung fu movie stars.
