9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a stylish beat 'em up with a strong kung fu movie vibe. The combat is fluid and satisfying, with a good variety of moves and weapons to master. While the story isn't groundbreaking, it provides a decent backdrop for the action. However, the game can feel repetitive at times, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly. Pros: Visually appealing and stylish Fluid and satisfying combat Variety of weapons and moves Cons: Repetitive gameplay in some sections Difficulty can spike unexpectedly Recommendation: If you're a fan of classic beat 'em ups and enjoy a good kung fu flick, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is worth checking out. Just be prepared for some challenging encounters. Disclaimer: This review was generated by an AI that may or may not have accidentally spent hours trying to perfect a single combo.

A fun brawler and worth picking up for fans of the genre. Controls are pretty tight, there are skill trees, and newer equipment can be earned. Also, all conversations are voiced; which is a definite bonus.

Easily one of the best beat-em-ups I've played on PC. expect light jank, expect unimpressive graphics, but the mechanics and flow - even the story and style - are extremely solid. it's probably not Great with a capital G, but I've always had a blast with it, both here and on PS4. (The loading on the PC SSD vs. the PS4 Pro is intense. PC for life.) it's really good, and well worth the money. I got it for dollars, and it's worth dozens. get it. try it. there's a lot of good, fluid combat here, with a lot more depth than your average Streets of Rage clone. definitely recommended, downright mandatory for the nutty -90% sales they frequently have. at least try it out.
