Product Overview:
"Kung Fu Chaos" is a quirky brawler game inspired by the '70's Kung Fu movie era. With the outrageous cast of characters in "Kung Fu Chaos," gamers can go head-to-head with up to four of their friends, battling it out on interactive movie sets that add an element of challenge to the mayhem. Players will become completely immersed in the game as they engage in Hong-Kong-style combat with over-the-top gigantic leaps, suicidal stunts and multiple-opponent action - all while unleashing humiliating insults that can be as damaging as the karate kicks themselves. Featuring appropriately themed music tracks, including "Kung Fu Fighting" and the theme from "Enter the Dragon," "Kung Fu Chaos" will hit gamers with a brawler experience packed with fun, competition, and glory - as well as humiliation, insults and back-stabbing!

Features:


An incredible cast of characters. "Kung Fu Chaos" features an outrageous cast of eight would-be superstars. Each character has a unique fighting style and signature move, as well as an array of hilarious mistranslated taunts and a repertoire of spectacular special attacks.


Combat with a twist. It will take more than just cool moves to win this game. "Kung Fu Chaos" features a combat system with an added twist of humiliation. Gamers can pummel opponents with slick combat moves or power up with taunts that add to the impact. Combat moves are easy to learn but have depth, so experienced gamers can gain new skills and really go to town on their opponents.


Diverse "main feature" movie sets. Gamers can battle it out on six diverse movie sets drawn from the traditional Kung Fu movie era as well as contemporary Hollywood blockbusters. Huge animating structures, traveling sets, incidental details and spectacular action sequences are combined to deliver epic battles that are fast-paced, highly competitive and downright comical.


Gameplay diversity. Featuring a wide range of single- and multiplayer gameplay modes, seven sets of combat rules, minigames, customizable options, team-play modes and unlockable features, "Kung Fu Chaos" is a pick-up-and-play brawler extravaganza designed for a wide range of gamers.
