Kuri Kinton World is a side-scrolling beat ’em up arcade game released by Taito in 1988. Playing as an undercover Chinese police officer, you are tasked with infiltrating an underground criminal base to rescue a kidnapped senior officer and his daughter. Rather than grounded martial arts, the game draws heavy inspiration from classic anime, introducing fantasy combat where you face off against waves of minions and relentless boss characters using energy blasts and inner chi shields.
How to Play
Navigate the linear stages using the directional inputs to move, jump, and duck. Standard combat relies on punches, kicks, jump kicks, and sweeps to take down approaching enemies. By holding the attack button, you can charge up and unleash a fireball-like energy attack to hit from a distance, while standing perfectly still summons an inner chi shield that can be stacked up to three times to absorb incoming hits.
Tips
- Rely heavily on your chi shield during boss encounters; taking a moment to stand still and stack your protection up to three levels is vital for surviving their attacks.
- Time your energy blasts carefully, as releasing the charge too early will cause the attack to fail, leaving you vulnerable.
- Keep moving forward when dealing with standard enemies, as mid-bosses will persistently track you through the stage.
