    The 11th year of Shaoxing in Southern Song Dynasty (1141 AD). The Song and Jurchen-led Jin Dynasties were divided by the Huai River. The north of the river belonged to Jin and the south belonged to Song.

    Song ceded many of its prefectures to Jin and paid tribute annually. With even its emperor announced by Jin, Song became a client state.

    Now, ten years has passed. Despite the seemingly peaceful relations between Song and Jin, there have long been turbulent undercurrents in the world of Kung fu. The martial arts world is full of chaos, with numerous heroes standing out. Among them, there are the Four Wonders overshadowing all the others, named 'East Shu', 'West Bo', 'North Gu' and 'South Po'...

    This is an SFC/MD-styled-pixel-art game. In-game scenes were inspired by Song Dynasty's ink painting style, this game depicts an original traditional Chinese martial arts story, which takes you back to 1990s, the golden years of classic RPG games.

    The turn-based RPG The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle is in equal parts clever and frustrating. The unique approach to combat, team building, and customization is fun and perfectly set up for multiple playthroughs. Story progression is often aimless, however, and the gameplay idiosyncracies could be better explained.

    World of Kungfu is the kind of bad game that wastes your time and makes even its best qualities hurt you in the end. As it stands, the only audience I can imagine for it consists of those actively seeking out janky messes. I thought I could occasionally find enjoyment in overcoming the broken parts, but doesn’t make the game good. Plenty of other great RPGs, new and old, will give you so much more back than this one. This is one fight that just isn’t worth it.
