Get ready to unleash your inner martial arts movie hero! Karate Survivor, the fast-paced survivor-roguelite inspired by the wild charm of ’80s action flicks, is kicking its way from PC to consoles on August 28, 2025. Developed by Alawar, the game will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, delivering high-energy street brawls where just about anything can be your weapon.
Already a hit with PC players, Karate Survivor takes the “use whatever you can find” philosophy to the next level. Whether it’s a fish pulled from a market cooler, a plastic flamingo swiped from someone’s yard, or even a lounge chair you spin like a human tornado, the city is your arsenal.
Fight Dirty, Fight Smart
In Karate Survivor, creativity is as important as combat skill. Players can:
- Improvise Combat: Wield anything—from mop handles to toy hammers—to send enemies flying.
- Use Environmental Warfare: Knock over dumpsters, bring down scaffolding, or slam foes with a microwave door.
- Create Dynamic Combos: Mix and match up to six different attacks from hundreds of moves to build your signature fighting style.
- Progress and Master Skills: Earn experience to permanently unlock techniques between runs, ensuring each playthrough makes you deadlier than before.
- Battle in Diverse Locations: Each area features unique hazards, weapons, and bosses that will test your adaptability.
- Enjoy Fast-Paced Runs: Quick, chaotic brawls keep the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.
A Love Letter to ’80s Martial Arts Mayhem
The game blends roguelite replayability with the cinematic absurdity of old-school action movies. Picture neon-lit streets, rooftop showdowns, and a soundtrack that practically demands you wear a headband while playing.
With waves of enemies constantly pouring in, survival means thinking on your feet—and sometimes with your feet—while turning every object in sight into a tool of destruction.
Release Date & Platforms
Karate Survivor is out now on PC and launches on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on August 28, 2025.
