Kung Fury: Street Rage

Game Overview

Kung Fury: Street Rage on the PlayStation Vita is an arcade-style beat 'em up action game developed by Hello There Games. Based on the viral cult-classic short film directed by David Sandberg, the game captures the over-the-top 1980s synth-wave aesthetic, complete with retro pixel-art visuals, cheesy action-movie dialogue, and an infectious electronic soundtrack. Players control the titular Kung Fury—a Miami police detective and the greatest martial artist of all time—as he fights across time and space to defeat Adolf Hitler (a.k.a. "Kung Führer") and his cronies.

The gameplay focuses on fast-paced, rhythm-inspired two-button combat where players must time their attacks perfectly to strike enemies approaching from the left and right sides of the screen. Featuring multiple playable characters from the movie—each with distinct attack styles and special moves—it delivers a short, punchy arcade experience perfectly suited for portable play sessions on the PS Vita.
