Rag Doll Kung Fu Available Via Steam October 12 - briefly
(hx) 10:42 PM CEST - Sep,19 2005 - Post a comment / read (5)
Valve sent us a press release annoucing its plans to release Rag Doll Kung Fu via Steam next month:

Featuring a wide collection of single and multiplayer games, either online or with multiple mice, Rag Doll Kung Fu provides players with one of the most creative and unique game experiences delivered in years. Additionally, between game rounds, the challenges of an aspiring Kung Fu master are revealed via outlandish cut scenes inspired by classic Kung Fu cinema.

The game is the brainchild of artist and designer Mark Healey (who moonlights as a lead artist at Lionhead Entertainment). During last year's Game Developer Conference, Healey presented Rag Doll to industry colleagues. Immediately after this presentation, several Valve employees invited Healey to visit Valve and discuss Steam distribution of Rag Doll Kung Fu.

Steam offers developers and publishers a direct distribution channel to over 5.5 million customers. Rag Doll Kung Fu will be made available for purchase via Steam on October 12, 2005 for $12.95.

I'd like to check this out when it's released. Looks like something original!

hahahahaha and by doing so you help to screw over communities that are still waiting for support. I don't support anything from Valve anymore because they are cheating a lot of people out of support. CS is not the only game they released but it has been the focus of their support. Try checking out their site sometime and the DM area and realize what kind of support Valve "isn't" giving.

it's totally unrelated, RDKF isn't a Valve game, it's just using Steam Distribution Service

yeh.. btw, Ragdoll kung fu is EXTREMELY frustrating. I just bought it and it can be very irritating.

Not only is there are clear lack of single player things to do, it becomes very difficult and a bit confusing at times. I think this game has been really badly developed and could have done with a lot more time in the beta testing stage.

A few annoying things -
internet playing is slow, especially when you have been playing single player a lot - lag problem.
the attack system is very unclear (half the time it doesnt work)
the last boss of the game is VERY hard considering how EASY it is to get to him.
walking is hard enough, let alone fighting well.
All in all, this game is very cumbersom and is very hard/tricky to master. I can imagine after several days of playing you'll be able to get to grips with it perfectly, yet if you want to have fun for a while this isnt it. I found it so frustrating i just wanted to break my computer... Back to CS i go.
