Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn vs Tekken Mobile
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is a fun and hilarious beat 'em up game that takes quite vicious, satirical jabs at various pop culture, celebrities, people stereotypes, and even the developers' own indiegogo campaign. The game starts you off in China where Shaquille (Shaq for short), a black baby was raised in a small village in China after he was found drifting down the river in an expensive-looking handbag. He was naturally bullied by the local kids when he was little because he was so much taller than they all were but his taller and bigger stature helped him gained the mentorship of the local village elder and he was eventually trained in the ancient martial arts of Wu Xing. Sounds like a the generic start of a kung-fu story, right? Well, the game does it so much better by peppering it with plenty of humor.Anyway, one day, his fighting skills were called into action when the god of death, Yen Lo-Wang, once again escape from the underworld and unleashed his plan to take over the world... that is by possessing various celebrities with his demons and brainwashing the world's people into subservience. Of course, this is not something Shaq will simply ignore, especially not when his elderly mentor was murdered by one of Yen Lo-Wang's minions.
Now, the gameplay in this game isn't what you'd call "hardcore", but the boss fights are quite challenging and the enemies you go fist-to-fist against have their respective sets of abilities in which you'll need to find ways to counter, besides being downright amusing. Just look at the animations! Controls are very simple to get into, especially if you had played such beat 'em ups before, and it's really nice that the developers put in the extra effort to vary their range of enemies and background art.
The best parts about the game though, aside from the funny dialogues and the cool moves, include crazy fun power-ups that can turn Shaq into a spikes-spewing cactus-man or equip him with an Iron Man-like suit, albeit a suit that is powered by diesel, which allow him to dish out a flurry of fists to any enemy unlucky enough to be standing in his way!
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn's brand of humor may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy beat 'em up games, and you like to see the amusing side of things and you don't take the world too seriously, then this game is definitely right up your alley. It'll be able to make you cough up a chuckle or two, at least - I daresay I laughed a bit too much at some of the jokes in this game. Oh and a quick tip if you will - make sure you listen closely to the lyrics in the game's very own theme song. I got my first chuckle from it!
Tekken Mobile
Tekken Mobile is Bandai Namco's latest foray into the mobile platform with one of the biggest fighting game franchise, the Tekken series. Join the series' famous cast of fighters, including Kazuya, XiaoYu, Paul, Nina, and others, as they take on a brand new villain in the game's story mode. Similar to the older Tekken games, you get to build up a team of up to 3 strong and well-complemented fighters. The combat system is pretty much the same as well - make sure to land those combos!In addition to the story-based campaign and special live events, the game also has a PvP aspect called the Dojo Challenge where you'll build teams of attackers and defenders to compete in monthly seasons for special rewards. Although players will not be able to defend their "dojos" in real-time, they can instead record and upload their in-game fighting styles into their AI defenders. Your dojo attackers will feel as though they are playing against an actual human opponent!
Despite the higher system requirements, Tekken Mobile is a brilliant adaptation of everything that has made the series "Tekken". From the smooth and responsive, combo-based fight moves to the cool animations, and even to the amazing cast of iconic characters you can play as, this game is a dream come true for fans of the series or for any brawlers in general. Do give the game a try if your device can run it!
