Karate Survivor, the 1980s-inspired martial arts roguelite from Alawar, is out for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch now!
Previously released on PC, Karate Survivor lets you unleash your inner action hero by turning everything, from your fists and feet to plastic flamingos and fish filets, into a weapon. With fast-paced, over-the-top combat and roguelite progression, every run delivers chaotic brawls, dynamic combos, and full-on environmental carnage.

In Karate Survivor, the world is your weapon. See a dumpster? Kick it into a crowd. Spot a baseball bat? Grab it and go wild. From the rooftops to the streets, you’ll need every bit of martial arts creativity to survive waves of relentless enemies. As you fight, collect upgrade cards to power up your attacks, unlock new abilities, and turn yourself into a walking one-man army.
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 when used right.
- Environmental Warfare – Weaponize your surroundings. Knock over scaffolding, hurl street objects, or swing open a microwave door in the heat of battle.
- Dynamic Combos – Combine up to six attacks to suit your unique fighting style. With hundreds of unlockable moves, no two runs play the same.
- Progression and Mastery – Earn experience, unlock new skills, and build permanent upgrades between runs for even more chaotic fun next time.
- Diverse Locations & Boss Battles – Brawl through a wide range of environments, each filled with distinct hazards and quirky items. Survive long enough, and you’ll go toe-to-toe with powerful bosses.
- Fast-Paced Runs – Dive into intense, lightning-fast skirmishes that capture the spirit of your favorite ‘80s action films. No time to breathe—just fight, survive, and repeat.
Already a hit on PC, Karate Survivor now brings its retro-inspired chaos to console platforms starting today. Grab your weapon (or just your fists) and dive into the ultimate street-fighting roguelite.
