The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is a pixel art inspired beat ‘em up adventure game where players will fit the shoes of the protagonist set on taking up the challenge in defeating the Miyagi-Do Karate’s best and bold karate fighters that the game and story has to offer.

Get to play as Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi, Ali Mills, or Kumiko as you set out to defeat Karate Kid’s most iconic and unforgettable rivals as you relive the gritty, intense martial arts combat and flashy action mixed with a pinch of retro from the original movies, with inspiration taken from games such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

Master the art of karate, pixel-art style

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is set in the locations of the Karate Kid trilogy screened in the 1980s from the halls of West Valley High School in San Francisco, California, to Okinawa. You’ll fight your way through challenges in this side-scrolling, beat ‘em up adventure where you will face hordes of enemies in your quest for martial arts dominance.

The main attraction of this pixel-styled retro game is that you can play solo, or you can play with four of your friends in co-op mode that will surely up the ante against those who want to stand in your way. The best part is that as you face the bosses of the franchise, you will certainly have to remember the skills that Master Miyagi has taught you.

Despite the flashy and impressive details that were painstakingly crafted for the retro game, new players, especially those who have not watched the movies, can find themselves getting spoiled with the story of the original Karate Kid trilogy. Not to mention that the difficulty can be challenging as you must quite literally remember the wise words of Master Miyagi's teachings. Regardless, this game's replay value and narrative compensates for that.

Become the best around and don’t let anything keep you down

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is a wonderful side-scroller game inspired by the beautiful art of retro and pixel-based style from the 80s which is sure to stir up nostalgia within the seasoned fans of the movie trilogy. If you enjoy this game, you can try other games of a similar stripe such as Streets of Rage 4.
