Relive the adventures of The Karate Kid while facing the challenges put forth by Cobra Kai and other foes. The Karate Kid: Street Rumble follows the narrative of the original trilogy, allowing you to experience the highs and lows of The Karate Kid journey.

Execute powerful combos, perform signature moves like the crane kick, and defend against the enemy dojo's relentless attacks...

Brawl through 12 levels inspired by The Karate Kid original trilogy

First things first. £35 for a retro looking, side-scrolling beat 'em up is enough to make you choke on your Pepsi TaB. I mean, even if you're a die-hard '80s The Karate Kid nerd, would you seriously throw £35 at a game that looks and plays like 1000 other games on the market?

The plot of the movies is pretty much redundant anyway, because all you'll be doing is beating gangs of street punks in order to get to that level's boss. 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.

While you get the chance to face off against classic villains such as Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese, Terry Silver, and other formidable opponents across 12 intense levels, it just feels like you're going through the motions. There is nothing... and I mean NOTHING... that you haven't seen done a hundred times before in much better (not to mention, cheaper) games.
