Behind the Scenes: Tao Feng

Behind the Scenes:
Combat in Brutal Proportions


The air prickles. Your fingers twitch. Your senses crawl.

It's coming.

The first blow tenderizes the meat between a hard fist and an even harder cheekbone. Oh, that's gotta hurt … Thank goodness it's just a game.

Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus takes you on a journey of martial combat and supernatural intrigue. But, be forewarned, it is not for the weak of heart. This is a full-on experience—one that won't leave you hanging or drag your suspension of disbelief through the mud. If you are looking for lifelike combat, you have come to the right place.

Broken Bones
No adamantium here. These limbs break. Blows land—and land again—with such precision that they splinter bones. Don't expect to be babied. Crushing blows have repercussions. You can't fight with a broken arm … neither can your opponent.

Shredded Clothes
It's a hazard that goes with the job. If you're a fighter, abandon all modesty. A slash here. A slice there. A rip. A tear. It's par for the course, playing peek-a-boo with skin, muscle, and bone.



Open Wounds
Damage happens. In Tao Feng, you see it happen, gradually. There's no bar in the corner tracking your cuts and bruises. Get real. Life isn't like that.
Lifelike combat doesn't skimp on the visuals.



What do you think? Can you take it?
