Description
This game is a
platform one on one fighting game similar to Yie Ar Kung-Fu where both the player and the enemy have
equal
energy meters. The player controls a Shaolin monk-type character
and fights against evil zombie ninjas, samurais, and
other martial artists. The game had incredible graphic detail for
the time, and the background scenery has a very realistic
look. According to Bobby Tribble's page, all the characters are
motion-captured puppets, and the fighter/puppet that lost
would have his/her head roll off. A very original idea for a
game.
