  I must say I love this game. So retro, yet so good. Great graphics with superb animation, fun minigames. Can be kind of a grind, but a decent challenge. One thing I would like to see is more knockdown animations, appropriate to where the hit connects. For some people, the lack of MP might turn them out, but it doesn't prevent this from being a great game.

  I had absolutely no expectations for this game but I'm having a lot of fun with it at the moment! It's an amusing Fighting/RPG hybrid with charming retro graphics so if that sounds like your kind of game then do pick it up! Pros: + Nice graphics + Good combat system + Good impact on the blows, landing an axe kick which cracks the opponent's skull is very satisfying + Some opponents have different fighting-styles which makes the game a bit more varied. Cons: - Very grindy, may get repetitive - Lack of tutorial and very shallow explanation on how to perform certain moves - Some spelling mistakes here and there Final rating: 8/10.

  I am really digging this game. It kinda has an SNK fighting game feel to it, but there is a skill progression that really adds depth and playthrough time to the game. As you progress further in your stats, you unlock new training minigames that really help keep them from feeling stale. As for the controls, they're pretty tight for being an indie title. However, the game assumes you have an Xbox 360 controller, as the on-screen button prompts are of the A+B+X+Y variety, makes it confusing if you're using a keyboard. Personally, I'm using a USB-connected SNES controller and it works beautifully with this game. The graphics really capture the feel of the transitional period between the 16-bit and 32-bit console eras (think NEO-GEO), and they are of much higher quality than your average indie fare. The sound effects and music really make this game shine, once again perfectly capturing that bygone era that a lot of us spent middle school listening to as we played our games. If I were to criticize anything, it would probably be the rough translation job, but it's a minor slight that doesn't take away from the game much at all. The devs have some real talent, and this game is well worth the $10. I'd like to see where they go from here.

  I liked it and didn't like it. A lot of it is sort of a mystery since there isn't any real help. Finished it in a few hours. I don't know if it's worth $10 honestly, definitely $2 or even $5. I had fun for a day!

  Cool game, I had fun playing it but I don't think its worth the price their asking for. Wait for it to go on sale, there are to many good games out to ask for 10$ for an arcade game as this is ultimately what this game is. Still as i said its fun to play.

  Great throw back game. It is a lot of fun. I find myself working to get the knock with my favorite kick or punch. The little mini games make me very nostalgic for 80s and 90s movies and fighters. It is a satire, so the translation mistakes are intentional. All it all fun game, worth the money. That is if you have a game pad. If you don't have a controller you probably will not like this game.

  I had a lot of fun with this game! ...But it's a fucking insult that this was released in the state that it is for the price. It is one of the buggiest, crytpic, unpolished games I have ever played. I'm convinced the team spent more time making the trailer than bug testing. Map screen audio settings independant from the rest of the game? Check. The game alt-tabbing itself on KOs? Check. Losing a match to an opponent you KOd? Check. Randomly losing training points? Check. Manual with very little info and no documentation? Check. Awful Engrish? Czech. (Though a bit charming.) Poor menus and general user interface? Check. And random crashes? You bet! It's a real shame because I still enjoyed it and there is great combat beneath the abrasive buggy exterior but this feels like an unfinished flash game, I guess there's no quality control on products released on steam!

  Old school Karate action done right in the 2D world drawing on influences of some of the most challenging competition games ever made from Karate Champ to Street Fighter. No crazy complex combos, the simple controls allow for strategic planning of your moves precisely when used in this competitive fighter. Many games people buy because their cheap then never play one hour of them, this game is to awesome to not play. This game does the hardest thing in gaming, taking a simple concept and making it fun to play with working controls. The competition style of the game uses a variety of moves that force the player NOT to just mash the buttons but plan each move to become a black belt master of their own. The game is riddled with spelling errors and sentences that make no sense, but all that anyone needs to understand is "Karate is life!!!!" At first many will think the strange phrasing of sentences is some kind of retro feel, though after checking their website, it seems to just be the way they write in general for whatever reason. Either way it is awesome and fits the game perfectly. This game has the most important aspect working flawlessly, the ai opponents are challenging and its never the same fight twice. The music in the game is just as hardcore as the visuals. Sick of boring drawn out realistic hipster type games from the last few years? If so then karate Master 2 is your cure! As the game says, get ready to "get covered in glory." How often does anyone get to say that? Imagine someone asking you how your day is, now finally you can reply saying you are covered in glory. What a good day to be you! Rating: 10/10 Value: $9.99 *for those who want the awesomesauce of Karate Master 1, its free from the developer and can be downloaded on their official website: http://www.criansoft.com/eng/Karate%20Master%20KDB.html

  Too luck based combat system. Get into a tournament, wipe it and break everyone in 30 seconds, win the tournament. Enter it again, first match, the first hit your opponent lends you and he breaks your leg => hospital.... well well well..... Game pad isn't well supported so far, and some time some buttons stop working (such as the A for example, pretty usefull!!!!) The hits aren't very accurate too, some time I'm close to my oppenent and my foot hit to the head misses whereas he doesn't guard, sometimes he is too far from me to be hit and still I can touch him with that same move. Very bizarre!! Just to add : played around 5h but most offline, so Steam didn't track my time.
