World of Kungfu: Dragon & Eagle brings wuxia RPG action to the palm of your hand

If you're a fan of mobile fighting games, you might remember the thrill of Skullgirls with its side-scrolling 1v1 action. But what if you're craving something with the depth of RPGs and an immersive, Asian-inspired world? Enter World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle, a game that brings the excitement of wuxia action right to your fingertips in a delightful sprite-style format.

But what exactly is wuxia? It's the epic Chinese fantasy genre that revolves around martial arts, swordplay, and larger-than-life characters.

Along the way, you'll meet a diverse cast of characters, engage in various side activities, and delve into a rich system of martial arts combat.

Just how intricate is the combat? With over 300 special abilities and 350 traits at your disposal, you can craft a unique fighting style that suits you best, whether it's through swordplay, staff-fighting, or traditional fisticuffs. You'll also encounter various martial arts schools, each with their distinctive styles, both as foes and friends.

If you're hesitant, don't worry—you can dive into World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle for free and explore Xiangyang City and its surroundings in the trial version. Once you're hooked, you can purchase the full game to venture further and refine your skills.
