The Weirdest Fighting Game Ever?

Posted on March 7th, 2011. Written by Rico.

Dong Dong Never Die is perhaps the weirdest fighting game of all time. Better yet, it’s a free download for PC users! See how local reviewer John Nieves of Gadgets Magazine sums up the quirky—and ultimately addicting—gameplay.

Local arcades and homes see plenty fighting game action, where two players or someone playing against a computer smash buttons and twirl joysticks (or tap d-pads) to simulate mano-a-mano martial duels! Dong Dong Never Die takes this kind of experience to an entire offbeat level. In Nieves’ words: “Because only in Dong Dong Never Die can you play as two nurses against a guy who thinks he’s the Asian Micheal Jackson.”

More on why this game is great:

Once you get past the initial WTF AM I PLAYING stage of shock, the game’s fighting mechanics are pretty good. It’s not as polished as the ones in commercial games obviously, but the hitboxes and the character animations are surprisingly well done. You can initiate hyper moves right after super moves for example, delivering some massive damage when timed correctly.It’s all very impressive, and the fact that it’s made by a bunch of Chinese fans is a nice plus. Special effects are nice and some of the super moves are superbly executed, like the one where the dainty girl with the umbrella calls Optimus Prime to beat you down.
