Legend of Kay

Legend of Kay is a classic action adventure with an advanced close combat fighting system.

The young hero "Kay", a cat, rises to the challenge when emperor Shun - king of the mighty gorillas - invades the island Yenching with his troops. Kay may be only a scholar, but he is a brave and agile fighter. He leaves his village with only his sword and soon becomes a seasoned fighter.

The fights in Legend of Kay are reminiscent of good old eastern martial-arts movies. There are various moves the player can execute: uppercuts, back flips, somersaults, powerful magic attacks and then you have the combo moves. Once you gain a combo, you can auto-aim at enemies, which makes it easier to execute double- and triple blows.

In the beginning you are armed with nothing but a sword, but later in the game Kay receives steel claws and a powerful war hammer. All weapons can be upgraded.

Kay has to fight a wide variety of enemies on the ground and in the air. There is a lot of jump and run action, puzzles and of course many, many fights.

"The control system in the game is very intuitive to the extent quite early on, you find yourself not having to think which buttons do particular moves. The camera system, especially in combat, is fluid and precise and is to smooth that you can’t really appreciate how good it actually is until you to stop to think about – like every good feature in a game or the depth of sound in a movie."

"The first thing that smacks you in the mouth on first play is how developers Neon Studios have made a conscious effort to break away from the standard platform pap that we have all come to expect. Instead they have managed to mix a multitude of genres taking perhaps the best moments from platformers, action games and even certain elements of the best RPGs."
"Of course the graphics also take centerstage and in this department Legend of Kay is perhaps one of the most visually stunning platform games available at the moment.  Animations are fluid and combos can be pulled off with relative ease. Each of the multiple themed worlds has had its own unique feel placed on the level…"
