Kung Fu Kid (Europe)

An action game from Sega, Kung Fu Kid advances a young martial arts master who chains punches and jumping kicks against varied enemies, through colourful horizontally scrolling levels. The snappy pace, the aerial attacks and the good natured mood recall kung fu films, in a simple but effective action. Repetition eventually shows and the difficulty climbs fast. For a fan of direct retro action, someone curious about the Sega 8 bit catalogue or a player after stress relief, the title keeps an immediate pleasure and a likeable character.
