You play Wei Cheng, a Chinese fisherman whose village is attacked by pirates. Seeking to avenge his family and friends, he joins the Shaolin and learns to fight.
The game is a side-scrolling brawler built around fighting groups of enemies with staff attacks, combos, parries, and evasions. You can switch among ground, aerial, and mystical-seal fighting styles as you face different foes and bosses.
Completing missions and finding secrets helps develop Wei’s abilities. Unlock new techniques and perks, and equip weapons and gear with different traits. The campaign can be played alone or with a second player in co-op.
Players who enjoyed the game often praise its satisfying martial-arts combat, responsive feel, and the variety added by new moves, weapons, and fighting styles. Its stylized look and old-school brawler action also appeal to some, and several players find co-op more fun than solo play. Other reviews report co-op problems, while comments on the campaign’s length, story, and repetition vary.
