Princess Mariko has been captured from the fortress of Akuma, and it is now your job to rescue this beautiful lady. In Karateka the player will be combating against many different characters that surround the castle in attempt to rescue Princess Mariko.
The two players will be seen on the usual side scrolling aspect displaying your surrounding. Each player will be able to perform several different kicks and punches with a total of three levels of contact heights. There isn’t a large amount of moves that you will be capable of doing, but enough to get the job done.
On the bottom of the screen you will see yours and your opponent’s health. This makes the combat completion a little simpler since you can how much it will take to defeat your opponent. To win the combat you will have to have health points left and your opponent left with none.
There is so much to look out for during your travels through the castle that may make the game a little challenging to stay on task. At the beginning you may discover you are starting over a few times, but once you get the hang of the game you won’t be doing this anymore.
The graphics have been done in your usual arcade design with amazing motion animation done to your character and your opponents. The
entire game is put together so well that everything is going through smoothly and efficiently.
Side scrolling combat simulations has been quite popular over the years. Karateka was an astounding addition to this version of games. If you want to take on a game that isn’t too difficult and not too long, but can’t decide on what one to choose, Karateka would be the perfect selection. The game has an adventurous feel while you are taking on your travels throughout the fortress of Akuma, and a sensational combat design that you will fall in love with right away. Take your chances and complete one of the best games designed in centuries. I highly recommend downloading it immediately!
