Alawar recently released a gameplay trailer for Karate Survivor, a martial arts roguelike that channels the grit and flair of classic 1980s action cinema. The footage captures a fighter who ricochets off walls, cuts through clusters of foes, and turns the surrounding stage into a weapon by exploiting interactive elements to execute signature techniques.
Core features highlighted by the developers emphasize dynamic combos, a robust progression system that unlocks new skills and techniques, intense boss battles, and a rapid tempo that keeps players on their toes.
Players are encouraged to use the environment and improvised weapons, learn new moves, and weave devastating combos to take down ruthless criminals and street gangs.
A Steam demo of Karate Survivor emerged recently, giving players a taste of the fast, acrobatic combat and skill scaling. The complete game is scheduled for release on October 30.
Not everything on Steam is a quick novelty. Karate Survivor distinguishes itself with focused, strategic action that rewards timing, movement, and environmental awareness.
The game aims to balance nostalgia with modern roguelike depth, offering players a satisfying loop of exploration, combat, and progression.
