In Karate Survivor, use anything from a plastic flamingo to a mop handle to wipe out your foes. Master a vast library of attacks and unleash bone-crunching combos to take down your foes. Environmental manipulation is key to survival. Push objects, trigger scaffolding collapses, or slam them with a microwave door. 

Craft your own fighting style in Karate Survivor, with hundreds of attacks at your disposal.  Chain together up to six moves in unique combos to fit your strategic approach.  Explore diverse environments, each offering distinct challenges and combat items.  Conquer fearsome bosses in each zone, pushing your martial arts prowess to the limit. 

Key Features:

  • Improvised Combat: Use whatever you can get your hands on to defeat your enemies. From plastic flamingos to mop handles, even a child's toy hammer can be deadly in the right hands.

  • Environmental Warfare: Manipulate your surroundings to your advantage. Push objects at enemies, bring down scaffolding, or slam them with a microwave door.

  • Dynamic Combos: Hundreds of different attacks allow you to create unique combinations of up to six attacks tailored to your fighting style. Experiment and discover the most effective combos.

  • Progression and Mastery: Collect experience to unlock and master new permanent techniques and skills between runs, making each playthrough more rewarding.

  • Diverse Locations and Boss Battles: Battle through various areas, each with its own distinct features and items for combat. Face powerful bosses in each location, testing your skills to the limit.

  • Fast-Paced Runs: Immerse yourself in rapid, intense street battles. Test your martial arts skills and survival instincts in action-packed showdowns that pay homage to the adrenaline-fueled scenes of action movies, ensuring you're always on the edge of your seat.
