9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a beat-em-up with really attractive graphics and smooth feel that definitely could give it a reasonable spot among those beat-em-up games that you play and save for another rerun or two in the future.
Difficulty

23 of 235 sampled reviews raised it
It's accessible with 4 different difficulty settings that allowed me to run through the easiest setting and see the whole game without facing any significant gameplay frustrations.
