![]() “A Switch release has been by far the biggest request from our community. The A Day at the Beach expansion introduces players to a brand new beat ‘em up adventure featuring a 2 player Co-op mode and all-new levels and boss battles. REVIEW CODE: A complimentary Sony Playstation 4 code was provided to Brash Games for this review.Hello There Games and Aurora Punks announces that Kung Fury: Street Rage – Ultimate Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch this summer, including both the Arcade Strikes Back and A Day at the Beach expansions.īased on the Kung Fury film by Laser Unicorns, Kung Fury: Street Rage – Ultimate Edition lets you step into the role of 5 playable characters including Kung Fury, Hackerman and David Hasselhoff in a classic wave-based story and endless mode. It’s well worth a moment of your time, especially if you liked the short film or you’re simply an 80’s kid like me. Yet, what’s there is really challenging and addictive. There is simply no reason to spend more than a few hours on this title at most. If any game was crying out for a boss battle, it’s this one. A lack of extra stages, ability to get lives back and boss battles let this game down. What I got was more like the shield challenge level from IK+, only far more fun. I went into this game hoping for a Streets of Rage or Final Fight clone. From my time with the game I didn’t notice any way to gain lives back through score and even 80’s games had that. The turn over is fast so as soon as you fail you can start again in moments. Seeing how far you can get on just three lives is a real challenge. If I missed it was because of my poor timing and that’s a thing not many games like this can boast. I found the controls to be responsive, there’s a satisfying connect with each attack. Outside of that though the game is incredibly addictive. Yeah, not even Kung Fuhrer himself, which is a bit disappointing. There’s only one level and as far as I’m aware there are no boss battles. I never saw the ninjas even though I ranked on the high score table. Finally, if you survive long enough you get red ninjas. Nazi Robots that require several strikes but damn, they’re fun to kill. Female Nazis in white that teleport to the other side of you every time you hit them. ![]() Nazi officers, these take two hits to take down. Nazi grunts, these are basic enemies that take a single hit to kill. So the better you play the sooner you will get high value enemies. ![]() The enemies seem to scale not only with points but also with high combo strings. It’s clear from the offset that it’s the kind of game that’s easy to learn but will take time to master. So take your time, especially as your combo meter doesn’t expire with time only with misses. Which isn’t the best idea as you can only take three hits before it’s game over. Misses also stun you momentarily leaving you open to attack. If you time an attack incorrectly you miss which will lose you a few hits off your combo. There are hit confirm animations to help with your timing. Each consecutive hit will stack to grant score multipliers. It takes precise timing based upon vicinity to enemies to land a hit. Your instinct will be to button mash and that will be a mistake. What seems like a simple game on the surface is actually far deeper than you will first realise. Clearly designed as a mobile app game there are no movement controls as such. The controls are simple, press left and right to attack in different directions and that’s it. From the audio distortion when the games title is announced, down to the sound of a coin being slotted into the machine when you start, it recreates that arcade feel of yesteryear. Every piece of sound is designed with this in mind. ![]() To add to this nostalgia is the David Hasselhoff inspired bit tunes full of blood pumping classic awesome. The sprites are the expected pixilated graphics. Upon starting the game you are immediately thrown back in time with the retro arcade cabinet screen being a persistent feature. Your mission is to kill as many Nazis as possible, because, reasons. You play as the bad ass cop known only as Kung Fury. Kung Fury: Street Rage is the latest game from Swedish app developer Hello There. So, of course in true 80’s fashion there’s an obligatory movie spin-off game that I was itching to get my hands on. If you haven’t seen the thirty minutes of madness and mayhem then I highly recommend you check it out. Two months ago YouTube Channel LaserUnicorns released their epic tribute to action films of the 80’s, Kung Fury.
