Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is a game that came out of nowhere. It was first announced in 2015 and left people wondering "why?". It is, most definitely, a game that nobody asked for but, after watching some gameplay for the game, I'm sure people will soon realise that they may not have wanted the game, but they may need it.
The game is definitely a crazy concept in and of itself, but it seems to work pretty well when it comes to the jokes, quips and over-all tone of the game. There's something oddly charming about
Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn and, while the game's combat seems a bit lacking, the humour alone make it at least worth checking out.
A few days ago
Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn got an
official date announcement trailer and now, thanks to the
GameXplain crew, we get to see gameplay of the first level, played on the Nintendo Switch, at this year's PAX East event. Also, is that a new rendition of Michael Jackson's "
Beat it" playing in the background during the Boss Fight? That alone is worth your money, if so.
Check it out:
