One Finger Death Punch is a game you can “feel”. The direct connection between your mouse and your character on the screen will be a new experience for many players. When you string together a long, complex string of kills, it feels like something “you” did rather than something the game let you do. When you play it you feel like you’re actually playing a Xiao Xiao stick animation video. We took inspiration from every kung-fu film we’ve seen. Every bit of effort was poured into delivering an easy to play game that was as addictive to play as Tetris.

One Finger Death Punch Review

Played out on a vast map, filled with nodes to represent each stage, One Finger Death Punch’s complexity quickly scales. Initially, most opponents disappear in the impact of a single strike, but soon enough you face waves of stronger enemies that require combo hits, dodging backwards and forwards around your position, thereby changing the buttons you must tap to dispatch of them. Even stronger enemies temporarily slow the game to a crawl as you speedily enter a long string of inputs – and later you must bat away incoming projectiles as well as attackers.

Soon enough, each mission – few of which last more than 60 seconds – is a riot of colour and action, the game’s designers employing Capcom’s age-old visual tricks such as hit pauses and zooms to mesmerising effect. The animation throughout is exemplary, despite the fact that each combatant is little more than a line drawing. What could so easily have become a disposable, short-lived distraction grows into a deep and complex series of tests of nerve, timing and dexterity as Silver Dollar Games twists its central premise into unusual and creative new shapes. In some stages you must simply bat away a series of incoming throwing knives; in another, it’s you doing the throwing. In one scene you fight with a glowing lightsaber atop a mountain, while later ‘retro film rounds’ desaturate the screen into a vintage sepia mush, removing the colour cues to aid you in your split second decision-making.

All in all, the game is fun to play and competitive if someone wants to fully complete it. The story isn’t a story, pretty much completing levels to unlock another. Skills are there to upgrade the experience. Weapons are there to spice up the battle and add fun to it. Nobody should ignore this because of its graphic style, because it looks like a web game. Everyone should pretty much play it because it is satisfying and vicious and responsive. For the cool level variety, for the fun and challenge in every level, and just for pure Kung-Fu experience.
