Choice of Kung Fu

disclaimer: played the web version previously If you like CYOA games, or kung fu stories, should be a good one for either crowd. CYOA fans: - has lots of choice variety to shape your character and story kung fu fans, you can: - choose and shape and specialise your combat style from a wide variety - discover and learn techniques and wisdom from ancient scrolls - be an obedient or rebellious student in a variety of manners - leave your school behind to find your own adventures - found your own school of martial arts and take on challengers - quite a lot more! as a CYOA it's solid and well worth a go, and for kung fu fans it's definitely a winner. ;)

Choice of Kung Fu is the fifth game from Choice of Games/Hosted games that I have made it all the way through the story at least once in my COG career. And although Choice of Robots is by far and away the biggest story with the most choices in it, I have to say Choice of Kung Fu is my favorite now because I enjoy and am most interested in the martial arts story. The game starts off with YOU wanting to join the Peach Tree monastery and having high ambitions. The story let's you choose your style of fighting which makes the game so much enthralling. You are also highly in command of your thoughts on all kinds of matters including when to fight, how to fight or when more peaceful actions are required. I'm not going to giveaway anything else because you will have much more fun making your own choices when confronted with all the trials presented to you in Choice of Kung Fu.

Why do kites fly? An interesting question, for a warrior monk, but an important one to ask. Well done in both characterization and tone, Choice of Kung Fu is a continued breath into the seldom explored, and even more seldom analyzed, world of Chinese myth and style; even if it is a bit of a short whiff. I wont give anything away but I will say that if you've ever played Jade Empire, and enjoyed it's style and storytelling, then Choice of Kung Fu will give you another chance to explore such a world again. Full of Kung Fu, Chi, Fox Spirits, Romance, and Rebellion; I was once again, pulled into the story of a single monk residing in a small monastery on the side of a mountain, seeking to learn from the fabled Dragon Sage. The breadth of play styles are impressive and refreshing as is usual in a Choice of Games/Hosted Games title. While the one ending I have gotten was fitting, it left me wanting more. Though, this is a testament to the quality of the story telling rather than the feeli...

This game does a great job in both immersing you into its world and making your choices feel like they matter. In the early game it is all about building your character's skills and the late game is all about using those skills. A bad decision can give you a bad result. There is a lot of veriety of skills you can build and use and it creates some very interesting experiences. What is even better, the overall goal of the game changes based off what the player wants to do. I actually ended up changing my goal the first time I played based on my character's experiances. That is a rare thing for a game to do, and I approve.

This interactive visual novel/text-based game brings you into a Chinese mythical world of monks, kung-fu fighting, fox spirits, wise teachers, and the Empire. Decide your own personal style of kung-fu and find your path while you rise in the ranks of your Order. Eventually, you might meet the wise Dragon Sage and ask them a question, but before that, you will have to make many choices -- about your stance with the Empire, your friends and rivals, and what to do with your strength and knowledge.

Another good product from COG. I liked very much the prospect of being a kung fu master. Interesting story well worth the money and play time. 8/10 As Zhuge Goku made love to a fox-demon. Hoped to father a kid mixed of Gohan and Naruto. Didn't. Very disappointed.

Meh. It was recommended to me by Steam in my hunt for dating sims. The story is predominantly action and training,someone might like that,but it definitely wasn't near what I was looking for.

While I feel like it's missing a final chapter, it touts a fairly solid story and a lot of different ways to confront its challenges. I was a bigger fan of Choice of Robots really, but still a fun play and worth three bucks.

Stopped China from getting taken over by imperialist Brits. 10/10

This game is awesome. You start as a monk from humble beginnings and grow into a legend by overcoming difficult challenges. Pros: -Thrusts you into the action right away. Presents a situation that greatly helps you define your character personality and fighting style. -Clear decisions. -NPCs are well done. Usually focuses on only one or two per chapter, so you get to know them. -Thoughtful and reflective writing style. -Lots of abilities. Your decisions will improve one by alot or a couple by a smaller amount. -Disciples. You can found your own school and decide how to teach your students. -End goals. You can work towards how you want to deal with the foreigners, try to be the one to ask a question to the dragon sage, or just ignore both of these and live your life. -Interesting challenges and tests of character. Cons: -The use of magic seemed a little cheap, I wish it would have been done a different way. -Romance options. You just pick a direction you want the main story to ...
