1''Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise'' is a BeatEmUp developed by Digital Tribe Games, that was released on Steam on the 24th of July 2012.
2
3The game takes place in a fictional universe based on ancient China, and revolves around two nations that have always been at each other's throats in the past: the Empire of Tian, and the northern country of Shaa. General Loh (the player character) is tasked with setting up a base of operations at Talin Temple, from which the Shaa rebels can be fought and defeated. During his travels, Loh discovers a conspiracy within the Empire, and realising his folly in supporting it, sets off on a path that will allow him to bring down the corruption.

6!!This game provides examples of:
7
8* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Loh is a [[FourStarBadass General]] of the Empire, and beats up hordes of enemies each level. The FinalBoss also counts, being [[spoiler:the Queen of Tian]].
9* DarkActionGirl: Three types of them show up as enemies.
10* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Master Mo arrives to back you up midway through "Fatal Chasing"]].
11* TheEmpire: Loh works for them, before defecting about midway through the game.
12* ExtremityExtremist: From Stage 5 onwards, you'll start fighting a variation of enemy that only uses kicks.
13* GiantMook: Giant Monks and Giant Guards are both twice as tall as Loh, and a fair bit wider as well.
14
15* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The FinalBoss is first introduced right before her fight, and at no point beforehand are we told about her involvement with the plot.
16
17* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Their Own Petards]]: Loh can deflect shuriken, darts and Crossbow bolts back at their shooters as well as other enemies.
18* LivingStatue: Three variations show up as enemies in the Temple levels.
19* MookChivalry: Averted. Enemies will happily gang up on you and attempt to break your combos.
20* OldMaster: The Stage 8 boss Master Mo, an old man who can carry out some ''lethal'' attacks.
21* ShockwaveStomp: Some of the [[GiantMook Giant Mooks]] have this as an attack. Loh also has an unlockable special move that allows him to do one.
22* WakeUpCallBoss: The Swordsman you fight in Stage 4 will ruin your day when you first fight him: He can break your combos quite easily, frequently throws low attacks, and some his moves require very precise timing to completely block. The bosses only get harder from there.
