An action-packed team-based fighting game will be launching soon for multiple platforms in Q1 2020. Titled KungFu Kickball, the game was announced by publisher Blowfish Studios (War Tech Fighters, The Deer God) and developer Whalefood Games (mobile game Too Many Snakes).
KungFu Kickball is set in a mystical fantasy world where fantasy sports is all the rage. The sport, which is the lovechild of soccer and kung-fu martial arts, will have players flying through the air whilst unleashing a flurry of punches, kicks, and mystical arts to overpower the other team and smash the ball into their bell. If the bell rings, that counts as a point. The team with the most points when the time runs out will emerge victorious.
Currently, KungFu Kickball has 1v1 and 2v2 online multiplayer matches, which players can either join locally or online, either with friends or randoms. The game presents itself as quite simple, with only three buttons to keep track of; however, the three buttons can be mixed and matched to result in numerous combinations that are definitely hard to pull off and master. Each game will take place on one of six unique stages, and as already seen in its brief announcement trailer, there are three player classes to choose from: the Monk, the Ninja, or the Old Master.
Gameplay looks very interesting, and very unique, too. The idea behind needing only three buttons to be pressed is quite daunting, given that there should be quite a deep learning curve for games that present themselves as “easy to learn, hard to master.” Still, the game should please those who find themselves drawn to multiplayer games, as the idea behind KungFu Kickball is quite novel and original.
The “sports and martial arts” based fighting game will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac by Q1 2020. It will feature support for English, Italian, French, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
For those who are interested and want to see more gameplay for KungFu Kickball, it will be playable at PAX West this year, which runs from August 30 to September 2.
