"Dragon & Eagle: Wuxia RPG Now on Mobile"

If you're a fan of mobile fighting games, you might recall the thrill of Skullgirls with its side-scrolling 1v1 action. But what if you're looking for something that blends RPG mechanics with an expansive, Asian-inspired world? Enter World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle, a game that delivers wuxia action in a charming, bite-sized sprite style.

But what exactly is wuxia? It's a genre of epic Chinese fantasy that revolves around martial arts, swordplay, and grandiose characters. Imagine the Arthurian legend infused with intense combat and poetic monologues. This vibrant genre has captivated audiences in film and gaming alike, as seen with fans of Bioware's cult-classic, Jade Empire.

World of Kung-fu: Dragon & Eagle invites you to journey through medieval China, from Xiangyang to Jingzhou, Jiangdong, the Central Plains, and beyond. Along the way, you'll encounter a diverse cast of characters to meet and recruit, engage in side activities, and immerse yourself in a detailed martial arts system that forms the heart of the game.
