Hi-Yah! Karate Survivor Kicks its Way onto Consoles August 28th
Channel the power of 80s action movies in this hard-hitting martial arts roguelite where just about anything can be your weapon.
[August 6, 2025] - Alawar is thrilled to bring its martial arts survivor-roguelite to console players. Karate Survivor is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch systems on August 28th! How you fight is up to you. Mix it up with your hands and feet, grab a fish out of the grocery store cooler, or take a seat in a lounge chair and spin like a top to send your enemies flying.
In Karate Survivor, the world is your weapon. If you see a dumpster, kick it forward. If there's a baseball bat on the ground, pick it up and start swinging. You'll need to get creative with your martial arts skills as endless waves of bad guys flood the streets and rooftops. In true roguelite fashion, though, obtain cards to power up your attacks, gain new ones, and make your body the most dangerous weapon of them all.
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.

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