For those who missed out, Kung Fury is a short film that pays tribute to cop and martial art films of the 80s. The story follows the journey of Kung Fury, a kung-fu master and detective in the Miami police force, who has to travel back in time to stop Adolf Hitler (aka Kung Führer) from trying to take over the world.
The movie is available online now, free to watch.
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 plot mostly has players taking on the role of Kung Fury and fighting waves of Nazis in the streets of Miami.
The goal is simple, beat up as many Nazi’s as possible while trying to break K. F. and Hackerman’s high score. Controls for the game are simple; just use either R2/L2, Right D-Pad/ Left D-Pad, or Circle/X to fight the waves of Nazis.
Gamers who are unaware of the film or never played an 8-bit title should be aware that this is a simple beat’em-up game. There is no leveling up or moving to the next stage, just one level along with waves of Nazis. Yet that’s what makes this game so fun, also it costs less then $2 so don’t cry about it.
If you’ve got a $1.99 to spear and plenty of free time to beat-up Nazi’s then Kung Fury: Street Rage is the perfect game if you want to go back and relive the 80’s.
Final Score: 5/5
