Ugh, The Karate Kid... talk about nostalgia goggles gone bad. Tried to relive this one recently and woof, the controls are a mess, the fights feel unfair, and it's over almost before it starts. Maybe fun if you were a kid back in '89, but for anyone else, hard pass.

The setup feels similar to 1985's Kung Fu, except that all of the parts integral to making a brawler or fighting game aren't present here: The controls are clunky, the hit detection is awful, the levels are poorly designed, and the enemies are annoying and there are projectiles being thrown at you off-screen constantly.

Ужасная игра. Благо, что короткая.

Difficult, infinitely spawning enemies that are affected by the console's limitations. And there's fucking wind. Still satisfying to beat.

I both like and hate this game.

Not quite as bad as the majority of the internet would have you believe but also incredibly frustrating with its insane knockback.

On the plus side though, at only 4 stages you'll probably beat it before you get really mad about dying a whole bunch
