    Kung Fu Strike is an action brawler inspired by many martial arts movies. Mash buttons or strategically place each hit against enemies and bosses. Purchase new moves, abilities and finished them off with a Powerfull combo. You can even play Kung Fu Strike with a friend in cooperative campaign.

    Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring Kung Fu Strike in Linux with PlayOnLinux.

    Note: This guide applies to the Steam version of Kung Fu Strike. Other versions may require additional steps.

    Tips & Specs:

    Try SteamPlay before using this guide as Valve now uses a fork of Wine called Proton and should run most Windows games.
