For a small game costing $15, it's pretty cool. It's a neat idea, that admittedly takes a lot of getting used to. The fighting unfortunately gets repetitive at times, but has a very original style. Multiplater, I'm not going to hold back any words here, sucks. There is no dedicated server app that I know of, so there are either no servers up, or the ones that are there are awfully laggy, especially working with the mouse. Graphics are very surprising, and a very nice use of a 2D playing field. Since it's on Steam, it's worth it to anyone with their own credit card.… Expand

Very original and fairly entertaining - however, the quirkiness of the UI and rag-tag approach to story have lead to poor lasting appeal for me. Nonetheless - well worth the price-tag!

Awesomely cool! Passes the feeling of the old martial-arts movies, either by the great, simple, fnu & funny gameplay, and by the additional features, like the grain filter, the music, and the backgrounds.

Unparalleled style, fantastic artwork, and a blast to play at LANs. I was excited about RDKF since the first trailer came out and have not been disappointed!

Unique gameplay, funny combos and controlls that need to be mastered. Most people o know found this too tricky, so i didn't experience challenging MP-matches 'till now.

the game waws over all great, but the selection of chars and gameplay was dificult throughout the game.

Not fun at all. not worth the money i think. it becomes boring very quick.

Very hard to control and figure out what the heck is going on. Gets a 4 instead of a 0 because it is hilarious to play with the rag dolls for about 5 minutes. Not really practical for playing the actual game. Cute characters, look exactly like our kung fu trainers at the local kung fu school.

Not a game for everyone, but if your in the mood for something different this is the way to go. Multiplayer has pretty much died (aside from 2 or 3 servers) for the moment unfortunatly. Multiplay was where the game really shined. But with a retail release coming sometime in the near future there should be resurgance of players

Interesting technology, but ragdoll effects are in most games now, and the controls for this one are awkward.

A thousand thanks for game-induced bliss We should all be proud of this independent effort by game developers Mark Healey. On a personal level, I would like to give my praise to Mark for creating a refreshing interlude in today

Quirky and fun for a few minutes but sadly it's not the game play revolution that the hype makes it out to be.

I play since release intenively, and got a good amount of good fights. I like the simmple but challenging gameplay where you can have much fun online.

Great game, very addictive, great out taes and a lot of skill involved in becoming a true master (Even though you can just start playing straight away)

If you rate this game as if it were one of the big blockbuster games from which we expect the Earth, then a score of 7.0 can be expected. In the UK two of the leading magazine titles both rated it between 70-80%, for example, and on that battleground it's definitely a fair score. But if you credit it's origins, a lowly indie developer (albeit working for one of the finest software houses of our time) and his mates following a 'cool idea for a game'; and think of it as a set of awesomely addictive, infinitely playable mini-games with a common theme (like an arcade game, basically, where 10-20 minutes gratification is more than enough for your £1 or $1) then this game can only be rated as pure genius. If you, like me, played Mario 64 sometimes just so you could spend ages flying mario around one of the levels, or delighted in being able to do that ice-slide mini-game where if you went a bit faster than the other guy you got a star, but if you absolutely creamed him you got another one, then this is a game you must play. The mouse interface does take a while to get used to, but every new control system has its learning curve and this is no exception. But you soon find, through practise, that it's an incredibly natural interface, and because the ragdoll modelling is so responsive (and intelligent - they have to figure out how to stay on their feet all the time!), after a few hours you'll be throwing kicks, punches and performing the most obsene combos (both on the ground and in the air in super slow mo mushroom-o-vision) you've ever imagined. It's one of those games where the only limit is in your imagination. If you imagine your guy jumping up in the air, and then flying through the air with his foot outstretched in order to connect with the other guy's chin - then you can do it. It just then comes down to a matter of timing, which comes with practise. To help you practise, you can even slow the game down by quite some margin, at any time, with a simple slider on the options menu. For complete-a-holics, there's a good-old-fashioned score board, and there's plenty of scope for some stupidly high scores if you're good enough. Then there's the olympics mini-mini-games - that involve learning techniques such as how to multi-jump so you can travel vast distances without having to land; or the long throw where you quite literally pick up the stone in the guy's hand, charge up his Chi, and wazz the stone as far as you can by moving your mouse to mouse his hand and releasing the stone at the right time and the right angle. No clumsy angle-selection button-presses here, it's only your dexterity with the mouse and your skill with the control system that determine your results. Play it in bursts - although I played it for 4 hours when it first delivered to my Steam games list and loved every minute - but you will not be disappointed. And don't get me started on the cuscenes. If you've had any contact with proper KungFu movies from China and have any shred of a sense of humour, then the first watch of the movies really is a treat. You will be eager to finish the next level not only to progress, but also to see the next barmy cutscene.… Expand

Takes a while to get use to, but a very cool game.

fantastic game from a simple idea translates into a great bit of fun to be had. download steam and try them demo for yourself if u dont belive me and all the people above me.

The game's most basic control hides a deceptively steep learning curve, but once the basic skills are mastered, this game is a fun and sometimes hillarious romp into the kung-fu fighting game genre.

GREAT GAME!

Totally awesome and original. I feel a lot of magazines didn't give it the rating it deserves through lack of playing.
"The camera pans and zooms as it pleases, so keeping tabs on yourself is tough enough" <-- There was an option in even the review copies to turn off auto zoom etc, so this is an example of what I mean :(

Original and...it works! Very rare for original and awesome game to fall into the same catagory. I would have given it a 9 for a normal game price, but add in the low price and this deserves a top vote from me! For people who like new games, fighting games, and have a sense of humor.

Lasting appeal is close to a few minutes harldy worth buying at all.

Really boring game.. not funny.

The Gameplay is much too complicated, but it's a funny Idea of fighting against your friends.

It's fun and a real new experience. Lack of updates and laggy online-play pushes my vote.

It's very deep gameplay! You can make your fight style! good!

Kinda fun, but largely unplayable.

Reasons why this game gets a 9 in my book ; Clean, unique styled GFX. Great value for money. Great party game Funny and cheesy storyline, good for a few runs through on time attack. Online function. Custom Skin creation.

The game was terrible and I don't recommended anyone to get game but its a good idea.

A very good and original game, inovative and fun! but the lack of patches,support and the long w8 no see world editor droped the rating and the intrest of the gamers.

Buen juego que hace recordar a viejos videojuegos como el artes marciales. Las escenas cinemáticas y la tremenda movilidad de cada personaje durante el juego aumentan tanto la calidad como la adicción.

Sin embargo, su resolución de vídeo deja mucho que desear reduciendóse solo a 24 bits. El diseño del juego utilizando los gráficos en 2D puede llegar a cansar con el paso del tiempo.

De cualquier forma, a este videojuego de lucha marcial está sobremanera caracterizado por el gran sentido del humor que tiene y por la diversidad de su forma. Aunque nos haga recordar a juegos como el Worms.… Expand

I regret that I ever bought this game... no great features.. just boring hit-em-up.

Not amazing or great or even good; it is simply ok. TOO SHORT!!! (funny though)

Awesome, addicting gameplay but, I wish their were more players online and the addition for deciated servers.

It gets old real fast.

Easy to learn but hard to master, the control system is one of a kind. Whether munching on mushrooms to slow down time, using said mushroon power to bash each others' skulls in, catching butterflies to harness elemental attacks, or simply fooling around in the beautifully artistic world, RDKF is a real gem. It is a "labour of love" and every moment of play oozes with that love. While short, the single player serves as an excellent stepping stone to multiplayer. It may not be a game for everyone, but with a free demo available one can take it for a test drive before making a commitment.… Expand

Great idea, great gameplay, great graphics and sounds and music, possibility to customise or make your own characters, and few different gamemodes. It isn't far from 10 in my opinion.

Funny idea, but not worth the money if you ask me. Gets borring very quick.

Definitely worth the cash, but gets old fairly quick.

This is a boring Game. Not funny. Not for everyone.

Horrible gameplay. Good idea though.

It's fun, and right now it's even cheaper (only 5 bucks until Feb. 8th). I definitely know that I'll get more than 5 bucks worth of enjoyment out of it - even out of just the video sequences!

HILARIOUS fun and the mini games keep you playing for time to come. Personally I love this game. The completely unique gameplay and visual styles are truly stunning, of course at first it's not a game you can just pick up and go, once you get better and more comfortable with how the controls work you can have hours of fun, and once you're good it's even good for just picking up as a quick thrill before heading to work. And the fact that you can upload your own skins of you and your friends is amazing. Nothing better than watching myself kick a friend in the face and watch the hilarious expression of pain on his face :D. Of course this isn't some epic game that requires 70+ hours of gameplay but if you like fast, good fun I highly recommend this game.… Expand

It's a novel idea, but that doesn't make it a good game. First, the controls are interesting in theory, but frustrating to actually work. And then there's the rest of the game...that's it. This isn't a full game, it's an experiment. An expensive one at that, for what I paid.
