You control Thomas, who is the Kung-Fu Master and he fights through the devil temple to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia from the criminal Mr X. There are a total of five levels in this game. Kung Fu Master is considered as the first beat them up video game. 

It's one of the best arcade games released for the NES.

As you go deep into the temple, defeating the enemies becomes difficult. After you clear all the levels you get to the level boss.

As you move forward, a range of enemies try to stop you that includes snakes, thugs, and dragons. You attack in the form of kicks, punches and perform flying kicks. Once you reach the 5th floor and defeat the final boss, the game gets over, but you also have an option to restart from the start again. There are unique attack patterns, and it's fun to figure out the weaknesses of the boss.
