Description: When a powerful, ruthless master emerges in the world of martial arts, it awakens many emotions. From the ambitious master looking for a challenge to the wronged peasant sworn to revenge to the jealous emperor who wants to be the sole ruler of the people, it brings out many people to fight each other and achieve their own goals.

Step into your own kung fu movie inspired by colourful characters inspired by Chinese and Hong Kong martial arts movies across the decades. Whether you fancy playing as an old wise master, or a young gifted female kung fu student, or a Shaolin monk, or a ninja (tbc!) there’s bound to be someone for you…

Review: ‘Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu’ is supposed to be a fighting, action game that is broken up into a series of mini games. First, you choose from 40 different characters then you go through a tutorial of sorts to get used to the action. Then you go into one on one fighting. The AI isn’t exactly a challenge and there are no multiplayer options here. I can see the influence older beat-em-up games have had on the developer, but I would much rather play those retro games than this one. With its basic visuals and pretty dire gameplay, there is nothing here I would want to recommend even if the game was free. But it costs £23.79 and that silly price tag makes it easier for me to suggest you leave this well alone.
