"World of Kungfu: Dragon & Eagle Launches Wuxia RPG on Mobile"

If you're a fan of mobile fighting games and have fond memories of titles like Skullgirls with its side-scrolling 1v1 action, but are looking for something with RPG mechanics and an expansive Asian-inspired world, then World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle is the game for you. This title brings the excitement of wuxia action right to your fingertips in a charming sprite style.

What is wuxia, you ask? It's a genre of epic Chinese fantasy that revolves around martial arts, swordplay, and grandiose characters. Imagine the legends of King Arthur infused with intense martial arts battles and poetic speeches. It's a genre that has captivated audiences in film and, as fans of Bioware's cult-classic Jade Empire know, in gaming as well.

In World of Kung-fu, you'll embark on a journey through medieval China, visiting regions like Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, the Central Plains, and beyond. The game features a rich cast of characters to meet and recruit, alongside a variety of side activities, all centered around an intricate martial arts combat system.

You'll encounter various martial arts schools, each with their own distinctive styles, as both friends and foes.

If you're curious but hesitant, you can try World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle for free. The trial version lets you explore Xiangyang City and its surroundings. Once you're hooked, you can purchase the full game to venture further and refine your skills.
