My only issue is some reaction times especially jumping and turning backward to fight enemies it’s not quick enough and I get hit other than that great game ### 3/5 — Coins for health and overpowerd bosses *2020-08-30, version 1.6* The fourth boss is stupid hard to defeatThe way you try to get close enough show always turn her entire body to knock you away from her and throw canailles at you it’s very annoying and when you do learn to hit and let’s say you have no coins she’ll have a longer life than you and she’ll defeat you if you have no coins. It really pisses me off that there’s only coins for Health and if we try to redo the missions we don’t get any coins anymore it’s just a free play. How else are you supposed to get coins other than buying them with your actual money.I really don’t like the fact that if you completed the previous stage you get no cash or orbs it is a serious pain in the ass. Because let’s say you have no coins and you’re fighting a boss. ### 3/5 — Cool fighting combo system and enemies, unresponsive controls *2019-06-03* Really awesome how you can buy moves to expand or replace your basic attack combo. Would be even cooler if you could equip more than 1 combo series and alternate between them in mid-combo. If the buttons consistently worked, this would be a great game. Unfortunately, walking, dodging, jumping, and turning frequently fail to activate. It's like the game is just ignoring inputs. ### 3/5 — Why you no open *2014-10-01* Every time i try to open the app it just closes out other than that it looks freaking awesome! ### 4/5 — Bruce Lee's Game Of Death *2014-04-26* This is a fun game to play But lack a few things that would make it a great game Like, it would be great if you could duck and punch and sweep your enemies, also some weapons would be nice...but overall it's a good game it reminds me of NES Kung-Fu please add to the game ### 4/5 — Great but not perfect *2014-02-24* This is a great game but there are some downsides. The difficulty increases very quickly. You can get upgrades but must complete levels to get them. Other than the sudden increase of difficulty the game is fun ### 4/5 — I want more! *2013-10-31, version 1.1.1* Played through the introductory levels... And it's a really fun and playable fighting game. But when I go to continue the game, a screen comes up asking me to unlock the other levels, but with no option to actually buy the update... Just a screen telling me I need to unlock the rest to continue. Please fix this so I can actually buy the full game! Thanks :) ### 2/5 — Can't play past the tutorial *2013-10-02* Don't know what the deal is, but after finishing the tutorial, I can't start the game on my iPhone 5(iOS 6). The tower is there, and the first floor seems to be highlighted (something moving over it), but no matter where I tap, nothing happens. Tried force restarting the app and starting a new game, but neither worked. The tutorial part seemed ok (though cheesy cliche story and graphics), so if I could play, I might give it 3 or 4 stars based on the little I saw. ### 2/5 — Iiiii *2013-09-02, version 1.0.5* No in game hints. Sound or music control not provided ### 4/5 — Wow! *2013-08-23, version 1.0.5* This game is epic! So much upgrading! Could use a new character.😀 A girl would be good.Then I'll get the full version.😎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — update *2024-04-18, version 1.6* when will this be updated, has no in game upgrades or levels added in 9 years ### 1/5 — Annoying *2020-06-06* Don’t download this u will rage a lottttt. ### 1/5 — Won't open :( *2014-06-10, version 1.2* Automatically closes when trying to launch. ### 1/5 — Exiting *2014-04-05, version 1.2* The app keeps exiting out each time I open it i think it's a glitch ### 1/5 — Garbage *2013-10-11, version 1.1.1* This game is garbage. Worthless junk cant beat first level boss impossible. Unfair challengs dont waste time and money on this game. It doesnt deserve a rating ### 1/5 — Update broken for iPhone 5s! *2013-10-06, version 1.1* Progress lost! ### 1/5 — This game is now trash *2013-10-01, version 1.1* Hitting the continue button does nothing, I can only start a new game. Glad I only spent a dollar on this. Deleting ### 1/5 — Mediocre game play mares the polished look and feel *2013-10-01, version 1.1* (Update) An update was released with the intent of adjusting the difficulty (what I assumed was the spawn mechanic)... So I decided to give it whirl. First, clicking the New Game button did nothing. Quiting and relaunching didn't fix it, but the new game button worked... I thought, "Fine, I wasn't attached to my progress". After being forced to redo the training sequel, I made it to the tower (map) and... The game is rendered unplayable. I quit the app, relaunched it to find the continue button again, not functioning. Sorry guys, I'm not one to hand out one stars often but.... Original review: (2 star) I bought the game after playing the first few levels, hoping the gameplay would expand. Making your own combos is promising but actually is more an exercise in futility. The game quickly devolves a double tap fury, double tapping the move buttons to enact a dodge roll, as it quickly becomes the only reasonable way to travel. Enemies spawn infinitely, so fighting hardly matters, the monotony only to be held up by a level scroll lock. Literally, the game prevents the player from traveling further right. To allow the player to travel further right, he must then defeat an enemy or two (regardless of how many are on screen) then proceed to travel right until he is held up on the edge of the screen again, repeating this agonizing process. This is done mostly by rolling, as the player cannot outrun his opponents. Rolling dodges attacks and goes around pesky enemies in the way. Rolling requires double tapping the direction arrows, making the player furiously tap the screen, which works 90% of the time but due to the limitations of the iPhone, the other 10% of the time means tapping more furiously, hoping to trigger the roll. The challenge becomes rolling (dodging) around waiting for a chance to strike increasingly well armed opponents which can strike from greater ranges and inflict more damage. Soon even basic attacks are gambles so combos become less useful. It devolves to a cat and mouse game of jump kick enemy groups until you can continue rolling right. To make a mockery of the combo system, the player feasible can string together roughly 5 hits on any single enemy, (at least using the moves unlocked from stages 1 and 2). Occasionally, combos can extend when other hapless enemies charge head first into your flurry of fist and feat, but it doesn't benefit the player in any meaningful way. The only time game play is broken up is by boss battles or completing challenges. It's not fun. Without much standard beat 'em up mechanics like different moves, ability to string punches and kicks at will together to trigger combos, grabs, use weapons (think double dragon), the ability to block, perform special moves etc, the game feels even more dated than the NES game, Kung Fu. Sadly it's not even worth the very meager $.99, even though the "pay once" model is appreciated. ### 1/5 — My rating *2013-09-01, version 1.0.5* Gee what game is programmed so you cant perform the necessary combos to play on beats me wouldn't recommended this for anyone and when you try to enlarge the action buttons it doesn't work as well either so not good at all hey i payed for that!
