Radio PARALAX rated Devil's Temple - Son of the Kung Fu Master (CBM Amiga)

A downloadable game.

The game could be so great. Great graphics, even with optional AGA color palette with 256 colors and very atmospheric sound from H0ffman. Unfortunately, it is precisely the most important point that destroys the fun: The playability! It can't be that I'm constantly losing energy when I'm standing directly over an opponent and then suddenly can't move anymore, which inevitably leads to moments of frustration.  In addition, in some situations it seems as if the opponents are fighting each other in the background, while the player is shown as a separate sprite overlaid. This shortcoming was already included in the arcade original "Kung Fu Master" and was already included in earlier beta versions of this conversion. What's missing here is a casual mode that eliminates the gameplay weaknesses of the original and thus allows easy access for those who haven't played the Arcade or C64 version. In addition, the game is not exactly cheap compared to similar games of this kind at the equivalent of 16€, especially since this price only applies to the pure download version. Of course, it is up to everyone to evaluate this review according to their own criteria - as press representatives we are only doing our job. Finally it looks like a technically good game in which many people lose the desire to continue playing after a short time.
