Shaolin vs Wutang is a 1-on-1 indie combat game featuring hand-to-hand and weapon combat. Eschewing flashy effects for authentic fighting sounds and classic Kung Fu film influences, it offers a satisfying experience for fans of the genre. With 27 characters, 20 stages, and 5 game modes, it's a deep dive into martial arts nostalgia.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Shaolin vs Wutang is a love letter to the 'golden age' of Kung Fu cinema. Developed primarily by a single person with a deep passion for 70s and 80s martial arts films, it prioritizes atmosphere and nostalgia over the complex, high-frame-data mechanics of modern AAA fighters. The character roster is a 'who's who' of archetypes from classic films, and the stages are beautifully inspired by iconic cinematic locations.
What truly sets it apart is the sound design. The hit sounds are ripped straight from the movies—that classic, heavy 'thwack'—and the licensed soundtrack perfectly captures the vibe of a Shaw Brothers production. While it might not have the competitive depth of a Street Fighter, it offers a deeply satisfying and accessible fighting experience. Using a controller is highly recommended for the best experience, as it allows you to truly appreciate the flow of the martial arts styles represented in the game.

Q&A
The game focuses on grounded, traditional combat rather than flashy 'super moves' seen in other fighting games, staying true to its cinematic roots.

A nice surprise, one small bug?
Mon Dec 06 2021 Dario9999Edit: I just installed the most recent update for customizing controls. Is there supposed to be a button to proceed past the player selection screen in Tournament mode? I can’t find it. Thanks. The nostalgia levels are high with this one. The attention to small details do not go unnoticed. Virtual controls are good, everything else borders brilliance for what you are trying to achieve here.

Thu Sep 19 2024 Sensei RimuruI was scrolling down on my Backbone app to see any interesting game since i recently bought it, then suddendly i saw this one and i gotta say it was worth it . Iconic fighters from movies were there and oh boy! oh boy!. I see yall cooking something. Hope to see more of this maybe a part 2.
Great game, but crashing 🥷
Fri Aug 12 2022 Fame_OMaybe it’s my older device (iPhone 7). This game is so hot, it overheats my phone and crashes the app. At least I get a few battles in before it crashes. I really like the retro characters, that resemble our favorite martial arts actors. I also like the 2D fighting platform, like the original Mortal Kombat games. The moves are a bit limited. Maybe some special moves added to a sequel would be good.
Niiiiiice!
Mon Dec 20 2021 GodoftheUniverse7I love hand to hand fighting games and especially this. The music, sound effects and characters, all of it is very dope. Hopefully the 2nd game gets brought to mobile as well because I haven’t had the chance to play that one yet!

Mon Jan 06 2025 RsgrichslimeLove how it’s the same on console which is awesome to practice on mobile before going to play with my brother at his house on his PlayStation 5 Star game hands down. Will there be a part SVW 2 on mobile? I hope so
