The pixel art-based, retro style brawler is experiencing a bit of a renaissance. First it was TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, soon fans will get Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, and in September they’ll get their chance to play yet another: The Karate Kid: Street Rumble. Take a look at it in motion in this reveal trailer (via IGN):
Some fans might rankle a bit at the sight of GameMill, a developer that has helmed some stinkers in recent years like Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Oof, yeah, not too great, but keeping things real, this actually looks kind of cool. Here’s a bit more about the game:
Master the art of karate with an intuitive and responsive combat system. Execute powerful combos, perform signature moves like the crane kick, and defend against the enemy dojo’s relentless attacks. Each level presents new challenges and enemies inspired by the films’ memorable characters.
Face off against classic villains such as Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese, Terry Silver, and other formidable opponents across 12 intense levels. Each boss battle is a test of skill and strategy, challenging players to remember the lessons of Mr. Miyagi.
Brawl your way through 12 levels inspired by The Karate Kid original trilogy such as Topanga Beach, West Valley High, Cobra Kai Dojo, the All Valley Tournament, and more!
Players will also be able to join up with four others for local co-op. The Karate Kid: Street Rumble comes to Nintendo Switch on September 20, 2024.
