What players say

Players praise its authentic retro feel as a tribute to NES and MSX martial arts games, especially Yie Ar Kung-Fu and Black Belt. But they split sharply on the controls: some say they click after a few minutes, others find them too sluggish and frustrating to recommend. The game is short (about an hour) and difficult, demanding pattern learning.
