![]() While the genre was never known as having depth, they at least gave you more than a few ways to skin a cat and you could pick the way you wanted to beat enemies. Double Dragon had a good mix of weapons and enemies, Streets of Rage raised the bar for soundtracks and gameplay, while Final Fight is probably still the best overall looking franchise in the genre and it got far more advanced by the third game. Unfortunately for Street Rage, beat ’em ups gave you a lot of variety in their prime. There is still some fun to be had before death, however, as the action is quite fast. With only three hits until a game over, a ton of death happens in the process of learning. Going to the right is something you’ll instinctively want to do, but with only three hits until a game over, you’ll want to avoid it because that sics harder enemies on you. Movement is controlled by d-pad or button presses, but moving without attacking resets the multiplier. Unfortunately, while that had twitch gaming down pat, this doesn’t quite get it right. The core game blends the look of Streets of Rage (with more lush environments) and One Finger Death Punch’s gameplay. You’ll fight off evil nurses, Nazi sympathizers, and of course the Nazi experiment kung fu robots. The key is to worry less about being hit and more about hitting as many enemies as possible. The end result is that you’ll get a massive score if things go well, and once you get the hang of the game, it’s a lot of fun in short doses. The more successive shots you land without hitting either left or right without landing a blow, the higher your multiplier goes up. There’s also a bit of a shooting game’s score multiplier thrown in too. Given that you’re just attacking to the left and right, going with the d-pad directions makes the most sense during gameplay and allows for slightly snappier movement. There are no movement controls and every attack is done by either pressing left or right, or using the X and Y buttons instead. Kung Fury: Street Rage is a two button brawler that blends beat-em-up gameplay with a bit of rhythm gaming. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work in Kung Fury‘s favor. Alongside the movie, a game was released with the subtitle “Street Rage.” Of course, such a title evokes Sega’s legendary Streets of Rage games, and that brings out about some interesting comparisons. It’s free on YouTube and El Rey gave it a network home, where it’s a perfect fit for a place with Lucha Underground and Kung fu movie marathons. ![]() With a ton of bloodshed, a bit of sex appeal, slick cars and The Hoff, it’s just about perfect. Kung Fury came to life via crowdfunding and delivered a loving homage to ’80s action movies.
