John Woo’s first mobile game “Bloodstroke”, that launched on January 30th for all iOS Devices, is thanks to our strong partner Chukong now live in China. Over the last 20 month Munich based Chimera Entertainment developed the mobile action game in close collaboration with Tiger Hill Entertainment, Moonshark and Chillingo.
“The team did a tremendous job developing our ideas and wishes”, says John Woo. “Bloodstroke really came out just as we envisioned it to be.”
“Blood Stroke” puts the player into the shoes of private security agent Mai Lee, aka Lotus. Her task is to protect the client, Dr. Koorse, to keep him alive as they traverse the beautiful painted streets of Beijing and Hong Kong.This is accomplished by drawing enemy fire and using a selection of lethal melee weapons and guns to keep gangsters, snipers and katana-wielding bikers from assassinating Dr. Koorse.
The game received amazing reviews on the Appstore:

Christian Kluckner, Managing Director at Chimera Entertainment, states: “We had an amazing time developing ‘Bloodstroke’ with Moonshark and Tiger Hill. It was a very creative, enthusiastic and productive time and we’re really proud of our work! It’s the unique art style and the fast-paced action that makes our game so special.”
