![]() ![]() ![]() As we’re reviewing it pre-launch, we’ve found it to be quite difficult to get a game of Quickplay with anyone else online, however I expect this to change come launch. The fun definitely comes from the fast-paced matches, and playing against other people, whether they are friends or strangers. Each of the modes feel very similar with not too much variation to them, which is a shame. Whilst waiting for a game in Quickplay, you can Practise while you wait, which is a pretty useful thing to include.Īrcade mode has three difficulties, Apprentice, Teacher and Master, each of which will unlock a new character for you to play as, with them getting progressively more difficult - and thus making it more rewarding to gain these new characters after all your hard work. With a few different game modes available, you’ve got Arcade, Versus, Training (which has a Tutorial as well a Target Practice - which is much harder than you’d think!) Custom Match and Tournament which are all available for Local Play and Online Play has Quickplay 1v1/2v2 as well as options to either Host or Join a game. To score a goal, you must hit the ball into your opponents bell, with a very satisfying chime. Can you better each arena and be crowned the champion? Kick, punch, and headbutt your way to victory.Developed by WhaleFood Games - a one-man game company helmed by Jonah Wallerstein - KungFu Kickball is a football X kung fu mashup, where you can play with and/or against CPU characters, friends, and strangers in a battle of who can score the most goals. It’s for these reasons that I recommend you to buy it here! However, be aware of its shortcomings. If you have like-minded friends, you’ll have a whale of a time battling one another while mastering the martial arts mash-up. Its vivid aesthetics, annoying but addictive music, and simple controls make this a fun game in small doses. Kungfu Kickball is great in small doses.Īs a casual title, Kungfu Kickball excels. If the developers had increased the number of modes or made the training section better, this would have improved the longevity vastly. Luckily, playing with another makes this much more enjoyable. A few hours of solo action are fine, but then you yearn for more. No, unfortunately, Kungfu Kickball is sadly lacking replay value unless you have friends to play with. Regretfully, the problems don’t end there. This was annoying, as a simple list of controls or basic instructions in the training mode would have removed this issue. Sadly, however, it took many matches and some trial and error to discover most of the moves. Luckily, this approach pastes over the shortcomings that come with the lack of a tutorial. The controls lack explanation.įortunately, the simplicity of the action combined with the basic gameplay makes this easy to play. The developers have made an error as this seriously undermines both accessibility and the fun factor. If you have no one to play with, your gameplay options are limited to arcade only, and this isn’t acceptable. ![]() It can only be tackled with other players and this was absurd. Where this mode falls short, however, is its lack of solo action. Subsequently, only the best will pick up the crown. Defeat means you are out, and the game is over. In this competition, you must fight your way through a knockout tournament. The tournament mode was both fun and disappointing! It uses the same mechanics as the arcade mode with a couple of exceptions. It’s a brutal free for all that gets messy very quickly. ![]() You are free to beat the snot out of your opponent and anything goes. Ceremonial bells are located at opposite ends of the pitch and you must punch, kick, and headbutt the ball and ring the bell. You must battle your way across 6 varying stages with only one aim and that is to score more points than your opponent. Here you can work with another gamer or take on the computer alone. The arcade mode is where you’ll spend your time. They had an opportunity to explain the fundamentals in a fun way but fell short repeatedly. This was poorly executed by the developers and should have been much more thorough. Unfortunately, however, a lack of an explanation forces you to fumble around for the answers. Training allows you to play an array of mini-games that should hone your skills. The latter mode lets you pick any unlocked characters and you can experience each of the six stages freely. Kungfu Kickball allows you to pick from an arcade option, tournament, or training. With three game modes to select from and three difficulty settings to overcome, this certainly lacks depth. Unfortunately, my concerns were confirmed once I loaded it up. When this landed on my desk, I didn’t expect there to be a deep and fulfilling plot. ![]()
