Gameplay Primer For 'Kung Fury: Street Rage'

Within this guide lies the secret behind how to GIT GUD at Kung Fu'ing swedish speaking martial arts nazis.

Intro

Kung Fury: Street Rage is a two button brawling game that was released alongside the 30 minute movie by the same name. It plays like a retro arcade game where your character is stationary, using left and right attack buttons to defeat enemies advancing from each side.

Due to the basic mechanics of the game this guide will be short, only touching on some tips for scoring, possibly some survival tips, and a briefing of the enemies you encounter.

This guide started as a joke but then I figured, might as well do it properly, right ?

Gameplay and Scoring

Gameplay:

Dispatch enemies attacking from each side of the screen using left and right attacks on your controller type of choice. Each time an enemy reaches you a life is lost, take three hits and its game over. There's really not that much else to it.

Scoring:

Each enemy defeated adds one point to your score multiplier. Missing an attack reduces your multiplier by 1/4, and getting hit will reduce it by 1/2. Its quite common to mistime an attack and get hit afterwards, which will absolutely wreck your score bonus.

Different enemies give different amounts of points when defeated, therefore it can be a good tactic to whenever possible take out the weakest enemies first for that extra +1 multiplier on the tougher ones. Its a small thing, but it can add up.

Each 20x increment of your score multiplier will increase the speed of your enemies! While the pace starts out leisurely things quickly become quite hectic once that multiplier starts kicking in.

Needless to say, keeping your score multiplier going for as long as possible without missing or getting hit is your main goal for getting a good high score.

Secret Techniques:

Unknown whether its because of Kung Fury's skills or Hackerman's time hacking, each time Kung Fury strikes an enemy time will slow down briefly. Use this to your advantage to keep check on your enemies and plan your next attacks.

Play the numbers, when you see incoming enemies you can quickly do the math and count out how many attacks it will take to bring them down, this helps you keep an overview of the battle.

Take a break. No joke, if you've been playing for an hour without making any progress on your high scores, get up, stretch and get something to drink. That 5 minute breather does wonders for your concentration.

Unconfirmed by myself, there are rumours that Kung Fury is able to attack quickly enough to hit Test Subjects and Red Ninjas twice before they switch sides on you. (If this works, it has to be tool assisted, never been able to pull it off. The guy saying it was probably just trolling.)

Enemies

Here's the rundown on the enemies you'll encounter while playing Kung Fury: Street Rage. It is entirely possible there's more enemies in the game that I haven't discovered yet, will update as required.

♥♥♥♥ Soldier:

The cannon fodder of Kung Führer's army, these all wear stylish gas masks, presumably as a fashion statement. Charges right at you and is the easiest enemy to dispatch.

Health: 1 hit (Front)

Points: 10

♥♥♥♥ Commander:

Too cool for gas masks, these guys will charge at you with a gun instead. Don't worry, they don't know how to use it.

Health: 2 hits (Front, Front)

Points: 20

Kung Fu DNA Test Subject

These deadly dames show some skill in Kung Fu, and can dodge from side to side, trying to confuse the world's best Kung Fury Cop.

Reappears directly behind Kung Fury after each attack.

Health: 3 hits (Front, Back, Front)

Points: 30

Kung Führer Robot

Evil ♥♥♥♥ Kung Fu Robots, expertly infiltrated into human society disguised as arcade machines. Driven mad from being forced to play 'Laser Unicorns' for nerdy kids, only Kung Fury can stop these rampaging machines of destruction.

These guys can get pushed back on hit further than other enemies, sometimes out of range for followup attacks.

Health: 4 hits (Front, Front, Front, Front)

Points: 40

Red Ninja

One of these sword wielding murderous ninjas were responsible for the death of your police partner, and is the reason Kung Fury now works alone. Fast and deadly, these are the toughest enemies you'll face.

Like the Kung Fu Test Subjects, these enemies quickly dash after getting hit, and will retreat out of range after getting hit a second time. These guys can be tricky to deal with during busy moments.

Health: 5 hits (Front, Back, (Retreats), Front, Back, (Retreats), Front)

Points: 50

Outro

So yes, this was a pretty silly and for most people entirely pointless guide, but after seeing it suggested as a joke that someone should make a guide for how to play this game on the discussion board, I just couldn't resist. ;)

Thanks to 'Hello There' for making this entertaining little game which supplements the wonderful 'Kung Fury' film nicely!

If you fine people reading this spot anything that's outright wrong, have other corrections to make or things to add, I'd be very happy to hear about it!

[powerbread]

cringe but thanks

[Lars]

Not for over a year now, sadly. I hope it returns. AFAIK it was requested removed because there is a Kung Fury 2 film in the making. (Makes no sense to me but thats what I read)

[powerbread]

is it possible to still buy this game?

[lumberjack]

Triceracop can hit the test girl 2 or all 3 times without her switching sides

[❣respected❤哈理❣]

ok

[Xerxes Asuras]

Hey thanks for this guide :) Pretty interesting. I'm actually planning on speedruning it if you're this kind of players don't hesitate to contact me.

[Cultist John]

So...left attacks left, and right attacks right? Why the hell couldn't they have SAID THAT in the game? Or had a MANUAL or something? Ugh...

[Lars]

Hi there! I had to admit I haven't kept up with the latest updates on this game, thanks for the kick in the rear ;) Looking at Arcade Strikes Back, the new characters, and seeing if anything needs to be done with this guide is on the to-do list!

[Japanese Schoolgirl]

You should add different combinations available for certain character (i.e. Triceracop is able to defeat Kung-Fu Test Subject with front-front-front).

[XsTiaN]

Nice and thx to make this.
