Path of Kung Fu v1.0.1.2

Overview

Path of Kung Fu is an ambitious side-scrolling wuxia RPG that has just graduated from Early Access after more than seven months of continuous updates. Featuring a complete main storyline with five unique endings, the game offers over one million words of dialogue, 15 expansive maps-including five major martial sects-and a sandbox brimming with emergent events, tournaments, clan rivalries, life simulations and more.
Story and World
You begin as an unheralded wanderer in the perilous world of Jianghu. Through cunning, courage and moral choices, you’ll navigate sect politics, forge alliances and face hidden enemies. Side quests delve into each sect’s secrets, while random encounters and open-world activities help you carve your own legend. The narrative depth rivals many tabletop role-playing campaigns, though some conversations still rely on machine translation and await future polish.
Combat and Systems
Path of Kung Fu’s combat is weighty and strategic. You master more than ten weapon categories-swords, staves, spears and unique artifacts-and dozens of martial arts styles, from agile Qinggong maneuvers to powerful Neigong techniques. The "Three Talents" system lets you blend skills and weapons to create hundreds of distinct builds. Divine techniques and special combos add cinematic flourishes to every duel, whether you’re in a one-on-one duel or a chaotic sect war.
Life in Jianghu
Beyond combat, the game invites you to fish by a mountain stream, host disciples in your clan hall, gamble at brothels or break out of prison. Recruit allies, expand your clan’s territory and try your luck at martial arts tournaments. Random NPCs and dynamic events ensure no two playthroughs feel the same, giving the world a genuine-if occasionally rough around the edges-sense of life.
Pros
- Vast, branching storyline with five endings
- Deep, customizable combat and progression
- Rich open-world activities and clan management
- Frequent updates and roadmap for free DLCs
Cons
- Occasional translation roughness
- Steam Deck support still pending
Conclusion
Path of Kung Fu delivers a sprawling, authentic wuxia experience that combines deep role-playing with brutal martial arts action. While some text localization still needs work, the sheer scale of its world, systems and narrative make it a must-try for fans of Chinese martial arts epics and sandbox RPGs alike.
