It's hard to say who Kung Fury: Street Rage would appeal to. You know you're kicking ass when explosions and robots start to come up All this results in is unsatisfying and repetitive gameplay. Some folks report that pausing the game at a specific time to exploit the combat system helps to achieve ridiculously high scores, but if that's what this game devolves to, then how pathetic is that? I want to be able to let my skills speak for themselves, not be unfairly punished or resort to cheating.

This complete lack of content is surely Kung Fury's biggest downside. If you're going to copy from an existing game then why not do it in an ambitious way instead of just imitating its basics and leaving it at that? The disappointment only grows as you play since you basically do the same thing repeatedly while hoping to get a higher score than last time and the absence of leaderboards might make you feel like your efforts are worthless whether you're a kung-fu master or not.

Since there are only a handful of enemy types that get introduced through the course of the game, you won't find it difficult to remember how to beat them. The key to success is to time when to unleash each attack and know how to overcome the unique enemies effectively. One button attacks to the right and the other attacks left. You control Kung Fury by using two buttons to fend off oncoming attackers. Overall, it does a decent job of turning back the clock although the lack of visual options and chiptunes are missed opportunities. The sound effects as you and your opponents exchange blows are very satisfying and stand out as the most prominent part of the presentation. Although inauthentic when it comes to retro games, the music that accompanies your battles is a great representation of '80s action films complete with synthesizers and electric guitars. It's a nice touch, but it would have been cool to have the option to see things more clearly. The 16-bit visuals are dark and grainy and fed through a filter that makes everything look like it's coming from an old CRT television.
