Manufacturer's Description
Kung Fu Chaos is a funny and broadly appealing brawler game, inspired by the quirky and stylised '70s Kung Fu movie era. You fight as one of eight characters, whose looks, moves and taunts are derived from the movie icons they represent. Your quest for movie stardom places you on the dynamic set of numerous classic films and when the cameras start to role, you fight with over the top, Hong Kong-style combat including leaps, flying limbs and multiple opponent style action. It's Kung Fu action for up to 4 players, set to the musical backdrop of appropriately themed anthems.
