About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast-paced old-school martial arts action, colorful villains, and lots of swordplay in the vein of Golden Swallow or Invincible Shaolin; Not for you if you want grounded fights or a deep story.
Pros: nonstop sword fights; inventive villains and weapons; brisk, pulpy fun | Cons: thinner story; less compelling than original; very bloody violence
