Dragon Finga review – the art of awkward fighting

Each time your enemies overwhelm, you'll return to your master and spend your hard-earned coins and diamonds on upgrades that will make you a better, stronger fighter. As your stats progress, you will level up and unlock new arenas and upgrades to conquer. Most of the items and super-fighting powers you'll be unlocking are as funny as the game itself. There's a bucket helm - a bucket with an eye cut-out that boosts your attack power by a whopping 5%. You can also fight it out in a football uniform, or don a samurai helm.

It's a long, sweaty, and spasmodic way to the top in Dragon Finga. Whether you'll hang on long enough to see the game to its end depends on two things. The first is how long you can go on without having to exchange actual real life money for virtual coins spent on video game diamonds. The second is just how long Dragon Finga will manage to keep your interest. Because, as fun and refreshing as it is, the game is literally all about what we've described so far. There's no additional substance to it. But that's ok, we say, because Dragon Finga nails all the right points - it's focused on developing an original idea, it's very easy to get into, and it's not easy to master.

The presentation is top-notch as well - occasionally blurry textures aside, the visuals are brimming with life. The backdrops and graphical effects are full of detail and color, while the artwork holds tons of cartoony charm. Another Place Productions went for nothing less than creating a mobile smash-hit, and it did just that. The game is huge on Android and iOS right now. If you haven't had drunken-kung-fu fun with it, now is your turn.
