Choice of Kung Fu

Do you like Kung Fu stories? Do you like choose your own adventure stlye games? I really enjoyed this and it was a very well written story. I did have an issue with my anti-virus messing with the game when I first started, but once it got going I was nto disapointed. Now all I have to do is go back and try some of the other story branches.

ไม่ค่อยอิน แล้วรู้สึกแปลกๆตลอดเวลาที่เล่น คือเป็นเกมที่โรลเพลว่าเป็นนักเรียนในวัดอะไรสักอย่าง แล้วมีข้อขัดแย้งทางการเมือง ฯลฯ มันจะให้เราเลือกวิธีสู้ อ่ะเราลองเลือกใช้พลังคิดู พอเล่นไปเล่นมา อ่าวแม่มเรียกเป็นพลังเวทย์เฉย แถมไม่ได้ใช้ได้ตลอดด้วยนะ บางทีอยู่ๆให้เราไปใช้ง้าวใช้โซ่มีดบ้าง ขี่ม้าฟันดาบมั่ง ฯลฯ แล้วพอเล่นๆไปคือฉากเมื่อไม่กี่วันก่อนเรายังสู้แบบกระโดดตึกฟันกันเป็นจอมยุทธ วันต่อมาใช้เวทย์ถล่มกองทัพ แบบห่ะ? เอาจริงดิ? ถ้าเอ็งจะ OP ขนาดนี้ทำไมตอนสู้กับชาวบ้านไม่ใช้เวทย์ให้ได้แบบนี้มั่ง วอทท [spoiler]แล้วไอฮีโร่อะไรสักอย่างที่พอชนะแล้วตามมาช่วยสู้ด้วยอยู่ๆก็หายไปกลางทางเฉยเลย หายไปจนจบเกมก็ไม่กลับมา ตัวละครที่มีความสัมพันธ์ด้วยได้ตัวที่3ก็โพล่มาแบบแวบเดียวจริงๆจนจำชื่อจำตำแหน่งอะไรของแกไม่ได้สักอย่าง แล้วลูจินนี่นึกว่าจะเก่ง แต่บทจะตายก็ตายกันดื้อๆเฉยเลย งง[/spoiler]

A very solid text adventure game that does a good job of immersing you in the wuxia genre - which is rare enough already. The author clearly did her research on both the genre and the cultural nuances that gave birth to it. The story is fairly standard as far as the genre goes - you're a gifted student in a monastery, with a great ambition that can be achieved through hard work and a little supernatural help. The characters you meet along the way aren't super deep, but they're enjoyable nonetheless. As for the gameplay, I feel it's a little easy - your first few choices will give you some very solid stats, and as long as you stick to your strengths you'll find it hard to lose. Still, there's room for experimentation. The only flaw really is that it wasn't too ambitious - the game could have been more. Hopefully, other games seeking to use the wuxia setting can use this game as inspiration.

I don't know much about kung fu or chinese mythology/mysticism, but the author seems to be well versed. As such, there is something to learn on top of an entertaining and varied experience. If you like CoG, this one is an easy recommendation.

Não sei se fiz o caminho certo ou errado. Me recuso avaliar negativamente. A história tinha tudo para ser um épico chinês. Mas para mim acabou de maneira muito súbita. É isso. Não é ruim e respeito o esforço do autor e a ideia dele. Então fica ai o Abraço.

This is one of my favourite games of "Choice of..." series. It doesn't feel neither too long nor too short, provides quite a lot of options to choose from and various endings. Besides the theme of Chinese martial arts seems enticing to me. If you like Choose Your Own Adventure type of games, you should definitely give it a try - you will be rewarded.

A very fun little choose your own adventure tale, its definitely one of the best crafted; all the stats seem to nicely correlate with my play style, and I thoroughly enjoyed the choices I was given. If I had any complaints, it would be the somewhat abrupt ending; it felt as if there was at least another third or quarter of the game left when I got the ending screen. It wasn't a deal breaker, nor did it leave a sour taste in my mouth, but I would have prefered a little more closure or at least an epilogue. I digress; Choice of Kung Fu is a very solid title, possibly one of the most solid ones from this publisher. It never gets preachy or mired in exposition, and gives the player a good sense of being a martial arts protagonist.

Je m'attendais à mieux suite aux commentaires positifs voire très positifs qui avaient été laissés par les joueurs. D'où, peut-être, ma grande déception à propos de ce jeu. Kung-fu est bien en-deçà de ce que l'on peut espérer d'un jeu de ce genre (livre dont on est le héros), puisque non content de survoler très, mais alors très briévement quelques aspects incontournables des différents passages de la vie de notre personnage, d'abord élève puis maître de son Art, le jeu nous procure également un grand sentiment de vide à sa conclusion; conclusion qui nous laisse avec un goût amer. Sans parler du développement pauvre des trop peu nombreuses rencontres que l'on fait. Tout est expédié à la va-vite, avec des ellipses énormes qui vous font faire des sauts dans le temps alors que vous avez à peine commencé à jouer avec votre personnage sur la période concernée. Et au final, quand le dernier point vient conclure notre histoire, on est presque surpris, tant on a l'impression d'avoir simplement effleuré le tout. Que le jeu ne peut pas être déjà terminé. Eh ben si. Alors pour 4euros, franchement, on se dit que le contenu n'est pas du tout à la hauteur de la dépense. Pas plus qu'il n'est à la hauteur de ce que l'on peut espérer. En somme, une déception. Le temps de jeu présenté par steam n'est pas représentatif : j'ai laissé plusieurs fois l'ordinateur tourner dans le vide, sans être devant, avec le Choice of Kung fu ouvert.

I like this choice of games title a lot, it was the first choice of games title I really liked, I originally bought and played it on the google chrome store. However, I think the author has actually improved over time, and Choice of Pirates is in many ways better. I would actually recommend them both.

I decided to purchase this game after I was pleasantly surprised by Choice of Robots. While I find myself enjoying that game more, this was an engrossing story that kept me entertained and caused me to go through the entire story in one sitting. Please note that this is more like a choose your own adventure book just presented in digital form (and with far more options that those books ever provided). It is not even a visual novel, it is simply words on a page and the choices you get to make, with a series of stats behind the scenes that dictate the flow of the story and options available to you as well. If you can find yourself engrossed in a tale like this without pictures to go with it or if you enjoy discover and text adventures like the incredible Analogue: A Hate Story I'm sure that you will enjoy this as well.
