This time you can move about and attack at will, and while there is no dodge move (which would have come in very handy) you can at least try and move out of range of the enemies. The Arcade Strikes Back content pack continues the same way, and introduces no new foes, but they now come in waves.Ī Day at the Beach mixes things up a bit, turning the game into a proper side-scrolling beat ‘em up, in the vein of Final Fight or Streets of Rage. The advice is, don’t miss! Each attack you carry out has a certain range that it is able to connect inside, and letting foes get close, but not too close, is where the skill lies. Continue to miss and it will reset entirely. As the combo count rises, you get more powerful, and if you miss, the count takes a hit. It’s the combat that makes things flow and as you continue to hit foes, a counter begins to go up. Now, obviously there are different enemies to have a crack at, ranging from the basic foes that take one strike, through officers who take two, to women in white who take three hits, but swap sides when they are hit (it’ll make sense when you play it), all the way through ninjas and Nazi robots. And that is the entirety of the gameplay pretty much – press X and B and punch enemies in the face. If you want to attack to the left, you press the X button, and to the Right you press the B button. Gameplay in the base game and the first of the DLC packs has you standing in the middle of the screen as enemies approach from the right and the left. Don’t come expecting Shakespeare is where I’m going with this. ![]() Admittedly these are also pretty throwaway to be honest. It is short but sweet, but with the Ultimate Edition we’re getting access to included DLC too, as this introduces new campaigns, such as the attack of an arcade machine and the gang taking a trip to the beach. We must get rid of them using the medium of Kung Fu (or song, or guns, or a dirty great axe, depending on which character we pick), and that is pretty much the entirety of the story. All look good too.Īny form of story doesn’t seem to be Kung Fury: Street Rage’s strong suit, but it seems to carry on from where the film left off, as the Nazi forces rock up in modern day America. Especially if you just want to go back and relive the glory of the ’80s.ĭisclaimer: The game used for this review was purchased at the PlayStation Store.The best compliment I can pay Kung Fury: Street Rage – Ultimate Edition is that the presentation took me right back to being a young man in the 1980s! Something which is heightened when you consider the variety of backdrops you play against ranging from mean streets to the Viking age to a world of the imagination. If you loved the ’80s goodness of Kung Fury or got plenty of free time to beat-up Nazi’s then Kung Fury: Street Rage is the perfect 8-Bit game for the PlayStation 4. Kung Fury: Street Rage can’t be played once then forgotten, it could only be enjoyed by how much one actually loves beating up Nazi’s while also trying to beat up high scores. Like Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, it’s not about the actual game time but how much time one is going to put into the game. ![]() There is no leveling up or moving to the next stage, just one level along with waves of Nazis. Gamers who are unaware of the film or never played an 8-bit title should know that this is a simple beat-em-up game. What makes this setup unique is that the player will have multiple control setup to pick based on their preference. The controls for the game are simple just use either R2/L2, Right D-Pad/Left D-Pad, or Square/Circle to fight the waves of Nazis. That’s about it nothing but beating-up waves of Nazi’s. The overall goal is simple, beat up as many Nazi’s as possible while trying to break K. The plot mostly has players taking on the role of Kung Fury while fighting waves of Nazi’s, ninjas and Robot Nazi’s in the streets of Miami. Besides the visual setup the game also makes several reference to the culture of the era while using the same soundtrack as the movie. Kung Fury: Street Rage is a simple side scrolling beat-em-up game that, like the film, is a tribute to the 80s by being presented as an 8-bit arcade game. The movie is available online now, free to watch. The story follows the odyssey of Kung Fury, a kung-fu master and detective in the Miami Police, who has to travel back in time to stop Adolf Hitler (aka Kung Führer) from trying to take over the world. If one’s nostalgic yearning for the ’80s was not fulfilled by the film, then return to the 8-Bit era of gaming with Kung Fury: Street Rage for the PlayStation 4.įor those who missed out, Kung Fury is a short film that pays tribute to police and martial art films of the ’80s.
