Sweet gameplay with a weird sense of humor.

What I really like about this game besides the action is its wacky scenes.

The player has an option to compose a string of various martial arts moves (acquired or bought as the game progresses) which makes this game impressive and interesting to play. Other abilities include special skills within roulette which consumes orbs (charged by obtaining cards) and God Hand Mode which renders gene (the protagonist) to be invincible with increased power and speed. The player can't opt to go back to prior levels which means the player can't gather money at that means. However, a series of mini-games is available: poker, blackjack, slot-machine and dog race (all of which is dominantly luck/chance based) as a means of alternate way to gain money aside fighting in the story line. That's if you want the abilities to be complete.

Characters: Protagonist (gene) kinda reminds of me Dante of devil may cry for his cocky personality, and the gorgeous Olivia which inspires me to play. The story is somewhat not clear at the beginning but becomes too simple and straightforward on subsequent levels.

Although regular opponents in this game are frequently derivative of the same kind, but on the contrary there are allot diverse classes of boss (wizard, samurai, succubus, gorilla wrestler, demons, etc..). Most of the characters and foes are odd and hilarious (like clown) as well as making funny gestures like dancing (or ritual) when there's no opponent around; and making some stupid comments (like "I'm Alexander the Great").

Nothing unusual with the graphics. Music and Sound effects are quite okay with me.

Conclusion: this game is fun to play and deserving to be reviewed. This wacky game would be great to try and master especially for martial arts fanatics and extreme gamers (good reply value).
