About this game

Kicker is Konami's arcade follow-up to Yie Ar Kung Fu, changing its one-on-one combat into a scrolling platform beat 'em up.

Lee is trapped in the Temple by the Triads and must fight his way out. Each section spans multiple levels that can be traversed by jumping up and down. Defeated Triads may release balls of energy, which Lee can collect and hurl as powerful weapons.

Most enemies can be defeated with standard kicks, but each level features a Super Triad that can only be defeated with magic.
