Iron Phoenix

Iron Phoenix is a Wuxia- and Hong Kong Cinema-inspired fighting game for Xbox. Its combat system combines character attributes, weapon selection, special equipment, and hundreds of possible move combinations.

Players choose from 10 character models with two variations each, along with monster and undead models. Strength, speed, and health differ between characters, while weapons include hand blades, daggers, swords, spears, a scimitar, a meteor hammer, hand claws, and a ninja-to sword. Darts can poison or slow opponents, and equipment can provide powers such as increased strength, invisibility, and enhanced movement.

Wire-fu movement enables leaps, flips, and wall-running through a recharging move power meter. Single-player matches can be played against custom groups of bots in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, VIP, Giant Kill, and Challenge Ring modes. These modes also support Xbox Live battles with up to 16 players.
