With a name like Karate Survivor, you already know this game is heavily inspired by Vampire Survivors. That said, I’m hesitant to call it a straight-up clone. Karate Survivor has its own flavor, feels more involved than its inspiration, and actually brings some new ideas to the table. The game starts off a bit slow, gradually spoon-feeding you new mechanics between runs to keep you progressing. Once everything is unlocked, though, the depth really opens up—and so does the difficulty. Unlocking different attack moves and fighting styles, then trying to find the right synergies between them, is the core of the experience and what really helps Karate Survivor stand apart from similar games. Each level lasts 15 minutes, after which a boss appears that you must defeat. The difficulty is fairly high, but it never felt unfair. Reaching the boss feels like an accomplishment, and beating it is genuinely rewarding. During runs, you earn a currency called “teeth,” which can be used to upgrade your character between attempts. I like when this currency is used to unlock new attack styles, but many of the upgrades are just simple base stat increases for future runs. Those felt a bit cheap and unnecessarily grindy to me. Despite a few minor gripes, Karate Survivor is an above-average bullet hell and an easy recommendation for fans of the genre. It’s worth the full $4.99 price tag—and even more so on sale. The game also ran flawlessly on my LED Steam Deck.
