Near the launch of 9 Monkeys of Shaolin, a gameplay trailer released by the developer shows the game's story, combat and progression systems, weapons, enemies and co-op modes. 9 Monkeys of Shaolin points to one rebirth of the iconic old-school fighting game genre, the cd. scrolling beat 'em up. Action-packed battles, user friendly controls and incredible atmospheres reminiscent of the fantastic kung-fu movies of the 70s, will surround an unlikely combination of historical and mystical elements.
As can be seen from the gameplay trailer, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin proposes 3 fighting styles unique: on earth, in the air or with the use of mysterious magical seals. The tale tells the fascinating story of Wei Cheng and his climb from a simple fisherman to Shaolin martial arts master. The visual style, at least from these first images, is truly splendid.
The character development system is very extensive, offering tons of ways to establish yourself by unlocking various items, weapons and different fighting styles. All within beyond 25 different environments: Chinese villages, pirate ships, Buddhist monasteries, Japanese palaces, ancient ruins and much more. Could not miss the Cooperative mode, to carry out each battle together with a trusted monk.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin will arrive worldwide for Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One (including Xbox One X) and Nintendo Switch on 16 October. Just enough time to polish the katana.
