Chinese New Year Edition
Happy Chinese New Year Everybody...!
...or will it be? Someone has kidnapped the parade performers and replaced them with evil imposters. Only one kind of warrior can save the celebration now... a badminton warrior!
I am proud to announce Badminton Warrior Chinese New Year Edition. This version contains a completely new stage with firecrackers, red lanterns, dragons, and more. Enemies have been redesigned with a Chinese New Year theme to them plus an additional enemy type was created just for this level. Of course, there is also a brand new boss battle at the end with a funny twist.
Celebrate the holidays by smacking projectiles at opponents, testing your skill against new obstacles, and experiencing a lighthearted story that will put a smile on your face. I hope you enjoy this new edition!
(The Chinese New Year Edition includes the original game that has sixteen levels plus a tutorial stage.)
About the Game
One fine morning, Ral, Mindy, AJ, and Jing go to play badminton when an evil being appears and kidnaps Mindy. Things seem pretty grim until a mysterious, old man named Lao Pi materializes and offers Ral an enchanted badminton racquet. He explains that the racquet can deflect any attack back at an enemy but cannot do direct damage by itself. Determined to rescue his friend, Ral embarks on a journey which will take him from the clouds in the sky to the depths of Hades.
Navigate through intense, heart pounding traps and obstacles. Discover new and interesting ways to defeat your enemies. Meet a crazy cast of characters including a hockey player who thinks he is a god, a lacrosse player running an insane asylum, and a basketball player who turns his trophy into an actual wife. Experience a storyline that pokes fun of sports figures, video games, and pop culture in general. Most importantly, become the greatest warrior of all time... a badminton warrior!
- 2D action platforming with a unique game mechanic. You can clear, drive, and smash projectiles at your enemies, but your racquet cannot harm anything by itself.
- Simple controls (just a swing and a jump button).
- Traps and puzzles that require quick thinking and reflexes to overcome.
- Sports themed levels with a variety of oddball enemies.
- Some games claim to have "Awesome" gameplay. This game has "Awesomer" gameplay. Seriously, there is a character named Awesomer in the game.
- Stage select screen that lets you decide in what order you want to play them.
- 8 bit style music and sound effects.
- An unapologetic sense of humor.
- Non-epic bosses. Just kidding. Wanted to make sure you were still paying attention. (The boss battles can be hard but are enjoyable and rewarding as well.)

TL:DR Up and coming platformer that will hopefully continue to be improved up to release. Consider getting it on sale.
(Version: 2.0 Chinese New Year)
After the newest update for Badminton warrior came out, I had to give it another try to check out the update. This review includes things that have not changed as well as my impressions on the changes to the game.
My brother found this game around Christmas and we downloaded the demo. We were very entertained by the idea of a platformer that revolved around badminton, and that’s what drove me to buy the full game. The game is has clear inspirations from Mega Man, my favorite series, so I enjoyed the platforming challenge.
The racquet is a unique idea for a platformer. Swinging the racquet is fun but there is a bit of a delay which makes you have to predict when you need to attack. Relying on enemy attacks means you must often wait for the enemy to attack again before you can kill it. One reason that this mechanic is so great is because it feels like you are outsmarting a boss or enemy and using its own attack against it. It’s satisfying to set up a spike on an enemy. The vertical space required to do a lot of advanced techniques means that some enemies can be jumped over and avoided entirely. The character controls well but feels just a little floaty in mid-air.
The game’s art is alright but doesn’t always have focus. Some of the bosses (for example football, basketball, hunting, and Gorgus who after the update is still the best character) clearly go for a good cartoony art style while other bosses and enemies look less clean. The level art is pretty minimalistic and usually makes sense for the stage, but while the fortress stages have some really good atmospheric backgrounds, other stages are boring or don't match the art style.
The music has an 8-bit style, but a lot of it is pretty forgettable. The exception to this is the boss themes, which really drive the boss fights. The sound effects in the game were very well implemented.
The levels themselves present a lot of fun and unique challenges, but many require a good amount of trial and error, so the creator mercifully gave us infinite lives. There were a fair number of checkpoints in the game, but it would have been much too difficult to complete multiple challenges in a row without them. Because the character can only reflect attacks, it is extremely important that enemies make it clear when they will attack. The game really gets into stride during the fortress stages. The old gimmicks come back being used in ways that weren’t shown off in the early levels, and some of the most fun gimmicks in the game show up.
The bosses seemed to take up most of the game’s playtime in my first playthrough. There were bosses that at first, I believed had not pattern but after a long time I was able to dodge their attacks much more easily. Some of the bosses were greatly improved in the update, so I was less likely to blame the game on dying. Knowing the patterns made my second playthrough much quicker than the first. On the other hand, some I never stopped having trouble on. Even on my second playthrough, the lacrosse boss is still a pain to fight. Again, thank goodness for infinite lives.
Unlike my first playthrough, I can proudly say that I beat the game this time. The fortress bosses were greatly improved and the coolest one was still two Gorguses, double the Gorgus, double the fun. Just like the stage bosses, the final fortress bosses have a difficult pattern that can be learned and exploited to get that sweet, sweet final victory. I can’t wait for the game to have a proper ending.
At this point in Early access, it feels safe to say that the game has improved since December and will hopefully continue to improve until its release. Still has a ways to go to be worth its 10 dollar tag. Anyone looking for a fun, nostalgic, or just “out there” platforming experience and has some money to burn should check this game out.
This is probably one of the best Games here on Steam!!!
I highly recommend this Game !!!
This game was quite addicting. I kept trying to improve my swing and return shots. Reminds me of the classic arcade style but with much better graphics. Awesome game. I'm glad i got it.
This game is a really fun. It combines the idea of badminton into the game. You can use different gestures to attack enemies. Unlike other 2d shooting games, it's not only fun but also very challenging! Especially the boss at the end of the first level seems invincible at beginning. But with a reference to youtube video I was surprised how to deal with the boss. Cannot wait to see more about the game!
Good platforming game that will test your skill as a gamer. I liked setting up lifts and then smashing down on the enemies.
