    Wow Shaq, thanks for stealing thousands of people's money and, not giving people their Indiegogo rewards.

    Here’s the truth. I don’t like giving low scores or trolling reviews. To put it bluntly this game is one of those games that is legit bad enough to deserve a 4 from both critics & fans. For the first few stages I thought this game was actually fun. Its when I played more & more that it dawned on me that it is a repetious wave/hord fest where a non-stop cluster of enemies overstay theirHere’s the truth.

For the first few stages I thought this game was actually fun. Its when I played more & more that it dawned on me that it is a repetious wave/hord fest where a non-stop cluster of enemies overstay their welcomr during each challenge. Its a shame the game ran out of ideas so quickly because the controls are very well implemented. There’s 40 levels & 6 stages that are well designed artistically. Its too bad they didn’t take a lot more time on this. Signs of a good game are blurred by the uneven mission structure.… Expand

    Avoid if you're Chinese. The racism is strong in this one.

    Actually, do yourself a favor and just avoid it if you consider yourself a gamer because it's also just a legitimately bad game and maybe one of the few that actually deserves the troll 0 score.

    This game is really average. After an hour and a half of playing it, I can not play anymore. Its repetitive and boring. I don't usually give games low scores but I really do not recommend buying this game on any platform. 4/10

    *sacristy claps* Where to begin...I saw the trailers and gameplay and read what they are offering. They said that they won't "F" it up again, but apparently that was a lie, and the idea was so lame karate kid idea its amazingly redundant. Now, there are so many problems with this game its not funny. I saw that the programing is flawed and bosses keeps teleporting for random reasons,*sacristy claps* Where to begin...I saw the trailers and gameplay and read what they are offering.

Now, there are so many problems with this game its not funny. I saw that the programing is flawed and bosses keeps teleporting for random reasons, then there is the generate enemies with just reskins is really lame. I have played Streets of Fury and that has more options that it puts this game to shame. The bosses with the story of making fun of the celebrities of yesteryears is not a smart idea since we now have more celebrities to hate. One of the bosses a woman's ass, that explains everything that how the game was made for. I really hate on how its getting praise for its tongue and cheek humor, but where is the humor, I heard better humor from roasting, and that makes me laugh, more to point, most of the these ideas are really outdated, like how Shaq calls anonymous for help, they have NEVER been talked about since 2016, and this game came out in 2018. I am stunned that this is supposed to funny. Plus the game is too short and not engagingly tough enough, not even for a replay. The final nail that seals the coffin is that company doesn't exist or they made promises they did not keep. It shows on how Shaq is selling himself short. They may have a some fans for this game, but I am glad I am not one of them.… Expand

    Buggy, generic, uninspired, repetitive, tiresome and not in any way fun. The animations are the only reason this game gets even 1 point.

    Trying to play the nostalgia chord is risky, because it has its own limits. It shows, in Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. Despite its hilarious scenario, the game is repetitive and devoid of any attempt to create something new.

    Its overly simplistic visuals are easy to forget and its repetitive combat system does not do a lot for the player's amusement. A missed opportunity to make something more memorable that could rival the original game.

    A bad experience in multiple ways. It seeks to be entertaining, but has a repetitive gameplay. Seeks to be funny, but turns out to be antiquated. If A Legend Reborn sought to clear the name of the original Shaq Fu, it has failed miserably.
