[edit] Story
The game is about a chinese martial artist whose style resembles that of Bruce Lee embarking on a mission to bring down opposing enemies in China.
[edit] Gameplay
There are 4 levels which are broken down into 3 parts each. At the end of each level is a boss. The martial artist could throw high or low punches and kicks, which can also be done in midair. The control was essentially designed to be similar to the arcade game Kung Fu Master. The graphics utilized very large character models that fill up the screen. They were capable of moving without any graphical flickering.
[edit] Criticism
In 1987 the character size and detail was essentially a positive selling point for the title in Japan. Though the release would not reach US until 2 years later. By then the title faced much tougher competition against games like Last Battle and Altered Beast.
