Karate Survivor is a refreshing addition to the growing survival genre, bringing nostalgic elements and unique mechanics that create a unique and fun experience. The setting inspired by fighting movies from the 80s and 90s, combined with strategic and challenging gameplay, gives the game a special charm. The game stands out for its own characteristics, managing to capture the essence of survival roguelites without losing its identity. Despite some points that may not be generally pleasing, it is a sure choice for those looking for action and nostalgia in a well-executed package.

Karate Survivor is a love letter to ‘80s action movies, with teeth-collecting upgrades, retro graphics, and an improvised combat system that’ll keep you entertained despite some early pacing issues.

That being said, the game’s creativity, humour, and attention to retro detail make it an enjoyable and unique brawler. Grab your best toy hammer, watch for the boss designs, and dive into a street fight that’s as nostalgic as it is exhilarating. I give Karate Survivor the Thumb Culture Silver Award
