Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an action-adventure game for Xbox that explores the narrative through three character-driven segments. Players engage in dynamic martial arts combat inspired by Wudan techniques, utilizing a range of attacks, combos, and defensive maneuvers. As players progress, they unlock new abilities, gather items, and enhance skills by focusing on specific fighting styles, fostering a personalized gameplay experience.
The epic story has been split up in three parts, one for each character. The game mimics the film's famous martial arts, based on the Wudan fighting style, with a set of basic attacks, attack combos and special moves, combined with defensive actions such as basic blocking, combo blocking and evasion. While fighting, the characters learn new moves, collect items and earn rewards. Skills are improved according to your fighting style. Using specific attacks (e.g. unarmed) boosts the related skills, which can be leveled up.
