About the developer
This game has been developed by a solo developer who has spent 4 years’ time on game design, graphics, programming and visual effect on his own.Story
The story began in Northies, one of the separate kingdoms in the medieval time, where a violent and cruel political coup was happening. Regarded as the fiercest warrior since the beginning of kingdom, Lord Gran was suddenly charged with treason and beheaded when the new young king was crowned and ruled. All his loyal followers and servants were also exiled or assassinated. Posing threats to the kingdom, the conspiracy was believed to be spearheaded by the sadistic leader of the Holy Army, Lord Barnett, who was rising to power in the church and among the nobility, and ultimately, controlling the new king.10 years ago, when Lord Gran was severely wounded in a war, he was saved from death by a kid and his villagers. In order to show his gratitude, he taught and trained the kid to fight with a sword and offered the villagers an abundance of resources. After his death, for the fear of oppression, Lord Barnett massacred the whole village in the name of purging infidels. Having learnt of the brutal truth, the kid who managed to escape was determined to find out the reason of Lord Gran’s death and take revenge, accompanied by his buddies met in his journey.

It's really rare for a video game, much less an action game, to be "so bad it's good," but this one pulls it off. Fairly refined combo mechanics and movelists combined with amatuerish animations, models, and everything else make it a ton of dumb fun, especially with friends in co-op.
this game has my thumbs up
Nice casual beat-em-up. Reminds me a little of Captain Commando with the combos and juggling.
I love how you can get into crazy combos of 50+ hits and the game is a lot of fun. The items, spells and rings that you find add a bit of tactical play.
I'm very impressed for the little I paid.
I will concede that it gets a little monotonous, but that's only because the levels are about 40% too long. But the game is fun as heck and if you like combos and juggling and casual play, you won't regret buying this!
I saw a TV episode , introducing the developer of this game , and I am deeply impressed by the story behind . Competition in gaming industry is intense , with solely one person carrying all the works to build up a game , post it onto the shelves , is absolutely phenomental. That's why I bought it , to show support to a guy who really deserves more .
The game itself brings back memory of some classic 2D scrolling action game in our youth's age. The game is smooth , graphic might not be great , and variety of enemies is somewhat limited. Yet it still provides adequate difficulty for challenging experience. Good guys have decent portrait while bad guys look evil , classic design in old fashion games and cartoon. Though I hope they will let me switch the character after each stage , even those join the squad along the journey.
Thanks for chasing down your dream, my best wishes from another corner in the city
Advantages：
- Made in Hong Kong, only by one person!!! Thats why I bought it.
- Nice picture, great combo system.
- No weapon system is a good decision for this game.
- Cliche story starters. But its acceptable for RPG game, and it seems attracting for me.
- Eva. Pretty NPC.
Disadvantages：
- I prefer my character CANNOT pass through the enemy. (except dodge)
- I am stage 5 right now, so far a little bit easy for me. Looking for more challenging stage later.
- No female character. How can it be!
Suggests：
- Skill system: Earn points for unlock different skills (only equip one in each stage. Restart the stage if you want to change your skill etc.) or upgrade the skill.
- Co-op mode? If yes, it will be cool. (Friendly fire is a must :D )
======================================================================
Good game for me anyway.
Couldn't believe this is made by one person! Pretty decent.
It's a classic 2D side-scrolling action game. Worth it.
Player experience is significantly enhanced after patches.
Animations are smooth as fk and the Retro artstyle gives it a nice touch,
reminds me of arcade games back to 90's.
Plot is interesting enough, Monk's dialouges are quite funny.
Gameplay is solid, the variety of items helps stacking up combos.
Controls feel handy, everyone can grab a gamepad and jump in.
It supports local co-op, what else can I complain?.....the camera?..huh
This game deserves more attention and appreciation.
Hope updates are coming:P
The monk is not in the temple, meet him in the castle !
Game is smooth, Onhit feelback is great.
Combat is easy to addict ! Overall Gameplay is challenging!
If you like classic 2D action game , Good game to recommend!!
