Are you ready to become a legendary martial arts master? Build your own school, train your students, and battle rival schools to become the strongest. Join tournaments, raise your grasshoppers, and most importantly, collect tuition from your students!
The game allows you to build and customize your own martial arts school, known as a "dojo." You can arrange training equipment, organize training areas, and design the perfect environment for your students. As your school grows, you can attract more students, train them, and rise to the top among rival schools. Players praise the depth and strategic elements of the simulation aspect. You can choose to train your students to specialize in different fighting styles, such as Kick Masters, Punch Specialists, or Balanced Fighters. You can also teach your students new techniques learned from the Grand Master, improving their skills further. Managing resources, such as equipment and student progress, is an important part of the gameplay.
In addition to the simulation elements, the game offers an action-packed combat system that allows you to directly participate in fights. You can learn a variety of martial arts moves and techniques, which you can then teach to your students. The combat is described as fluid, satisfying, and true to the martial arts experience, with you able to perform backflips, combos, and powerful finishing moves. One of the highlights is the ability to team up with your students and launch coordinated attacks against rival schools. You can command your students to follow you into battle, creating a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. The battles against rival schools are intense and thrilling, as you must use strategy and diplomacy to come out on top.
As you progress through the game, you can unlock new moves and techniques from the Grand Master, which you can then teach to your students. This creates a sense of growth and progression, as your fighting abilities and your students' skills improve over time. The game also allows for a high degree of customization, both in terms of the dojo's appearance and the students' uniforms and belts. You can choose the colors and designs of your students' Gi, as well as unlock new customization options as you advance through the game.
