10 / 10MantiskingA fun game, with a fair amount of research into actual martial arts styles. The system leaves room for additions and modifications.
9 / 10Zachary The FirstOne of the most underrated Palladium stand-alones. Wujcik's writing is easy and enjoyable, as is the game itself.
7 / 10YokiboyWe played this quite a bit as teenagers, and had lots of fun with it.
6 / 10SangroluA fun implementation of Palladium, with a lot of character beyond the whole "kick butt" thing (though there is that.) Martials arts and contacts systems are a lot of fun to tinker with. Not as many problems as other Palladium games (notably the big boy, RIFTS) with typical Palladium problems like class balance, but still has some other Palladium annoyances, like oddball attribute generation and benefits and extremely tedious skill tabulation.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
