This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $40 for a 2D side scrolling shovelware game. The graphics are a joke. It literally looks like a Sega Genesis game. This whole retro art-style stuff is just an excuse for developers to be cheap and lazy. Cobra Kai Dojos Rising 2 is also a shovelware piece of garbage, but even that game looks better than this trash. At least it's 3D and you have characters and logos that resemble what you see from the show. Another thing that makes Dojo Rising 2 better than this trash is the fact that there is voice acting from some of the actors of the show. For obvious reasons, they can't include the orginal voice actors, but I still expect voice acting or something else to compensate for the lack of it, because $40 is extremely expensive for a pixelated shovelware game. The minigames are awful. The physics are beyond horrible. The boss fights are terrible. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. ● One thing I found funny about the Karate Kid movies was watching a short chubby old man beating up multiple grown men at once. I mean, that's a load of bullcrap. But I can't even laugh at that in this game, because you just play as pixelated man with white hair called Mr. Miyagi. Speaking of which, you can only play as LaRusso, his girlfriends and Miyagi, making it four playable characters in total. You can't play as Johnny or any other character. I know they play a part in the story, but does it matter? You can completely break the lore by playing as Ali for instance. She can beat up Johnny in the All Valley Tournament and appear in the chapters after that, despite her absence in the sequels. Taking that into account, why the hell can't I play as the other characters that are already in the game? The developers are so lazy, they copied the enemies from California and pasted them in Japan. Just look at that fat guy for example, all the lazy devs did was change his hair from blonde to black and called it a day. You fight in the streets but no cars are driving around. It would be fitting to have them as obstacles, seeing how LaRusso almost gets hit by cars in the first movie, not to mention he is a car guy. ● The multiplayer is trash. It is the laziest form of multiplayer and that is co-op for the campaign. There is only local multiplayer, no online. If I remember correctly, Dojos Rising had online multiplayer for the All Valley Tournament. See what I mean, lazy and greedy developers everywhere, they just keep evolving backwards. The campaign is ridiculously short, it is about 2 hours long, a little shorter than that actually. And the "other modes" is literally sections taken from the campaign, like the boss fights and minigames. The cutscenes are PowerPoint Presentations. Why did they even bother making these cutscenes when this game is already shovelware? Not that it takes much work to make those lazily designed cutscenes but If you're going to be this lazy, you might as well go all the way. They should've just used some clips from the movies and make those the cutscenes instead. Currently $30 but I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.
