    A great martial art action game. Great ancient China theme covering the Japanese bandit invasion. A great background story time period for a brawler game because no one will be using guns. It is easy to learn with many martial art special combination moves. Just simple fast action fun. It is exactly what I ask for in this genre.

    Story and gameplay are straightforward. A simple tale of revenge played over a series of Kung Fu brawls. Decent length for this type of game and some fun mechanics, such as parrying and deflecting attacks. Me and my buddy enjoyed playing local co-op. Worth a look if you enjoy classic brawlers (though it has some nice modern touches like permanent upgrades to your character)

    9 Moneys of Shaolin successfully blends my love of old action films and brawlers into one wonderful package, and fans of Shaw Brothers films (and the occasional Wu-Tang album) might be keen to know that this is the best translation of that style in any game I’ve seen. If that sounds appealing, this is a no-brainer.

    Overall, this is a brief game, though you can replay missions to max out your skills or find secret statues. That these unlock old-school modifiers like Big Head mode at least shows the game’s got a sense of humour. [Issue#182, p.136]

    With its enjoyable battle system and great co-op mode, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a decent tribute to kung-fu movies of the 70s.
