Looks nice. Although I don't know if I'll ever be able to play it or not. Have a really long TPL.

^The Game Story is pretty simple just like Super Mario Bros or Legend of Kage
Graphics is cell-shaded

Completed this game

My Rating: 6.5/10

This game is short..& I mean very very short (u can complete it in less than 30mins if u r a pro fighter in games offcourse )
Graphics is Marvelous thanks to Unreal Engine.Textures are sharp, Environment is beautifully designed...Sun lights,winds,falling leaves,water etc (even though its Cell-Shaded Graphics)
Sound is also good....Background music is old Chinese style type and also helps u in fight (u will have to play it to know why I'm saying this )
Gameplay is simple and fun to play and though its repetitive but u won't complain becoz u will complete it within 30mins.Still the gameplay feels like Temple Run and then Fight.
The best part I liked is the Blocking and if u want to learn timing in blocking then this game is for u to try so basically u Block...Hit...Block..Hit
Collecting Chi energy and using special moves helps a lot in Harder fights (and yeah the more u go ahead the more it gets tougher )
There are 3 Characters to play with 3 Endings in this game (surprising isn't it even for 30mins game).

Overall a nice game to Njoy after so many years of old classic "Karateka"
