Yeah, it really is. I have seen other beat 'em ups pull off a higher price than normal, but they always had a lot of content to make up for it. This seems really barebones. I was going to pick it up on launch, but not at that price 😂
I thought of picking this up for the nostalgia, but $40?! Plus most games i get for nostalgia end up being played for an hour and then sit til i get that urge again
Those cut screens feel like they were for an alternate version of the game they were making. Definaely weren't for the pixel art version we got. That said, a side from the the cut screens, I really like the look of it. Reminds me very much of the arcade beat em ups. I can deal with the boring gameplay I'm not too fussed about how easy games are these days. I dunno man, sometimes I just want to chill out and turn my brain off now and just enjoy the ride.
@@Scarhj This recent surge of ‘80s/‘90s themed retro-styled beatem ups are thanks to Shredder's Revenge (specifically the ones themed on Toxic Crusader, MMPR, GI Joe and this).
@@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 And then the Scott Pilgrim game before SoR4. You're not wrong, but after Shredders Revenge it feels like the genre blew up even more with several properties from that era all getting beat em up games. Even those that I feel like would be better for other genres, like GI Joe.
I agree with your analysis of this game 100%! The main thing I’m wondering is where the hell is Daniel‘s white gi option? You only have two options for Daniel!
The pixel art is amazing. Love it. And the controlls are great too. Doing the jump and holding the heavy attack button down and release feels real good. I think 25$ is a good selling price. I bought it on the switch for 40$ or whatever.
Really like this game but would love to see someone do custom cover artwork with different cover art for the game and I would love to see a moder redo the cut scenes. Those are my only gripes about the game.
Looks good, but the animated sprites and backgrounds look so similar to TMNT Shredder's Revenge, and Toxic Adventure. Are they all drawn by the same developer or something?
Man... everything you said, ( plus I just learned there was a parry from this video :| .) But on top of that you can't easily turn around in the middle of a fight. It's like the gameplay was half baked, they slapped some decent pixel art on it and promoted it. The trailers looked good, but these cutscenes weren't in the trailer far as I can remember lol🤣they didn't highlight that.
I think this game looks pretty awesome! But, I would not pay $40 for this. A $30 price tag may have been a better move. Probably would sell better overall. I can see this selling really well when it goes on sale.
I was about to buy this game until I saw the cut scenes it looked like wii shovel wear And I just don’t want it , I can’t believe it’s 2024 and they still can’t do justice to this classic franchise
Those cutscenes really gave me a "Spanish for Everyone" type of vibe in a bad way. Incase you don't know what I'm talking about, Spanish for Everyone was a DS shovelware game by Gamemill and is just basically a crappy wordcross game only the cutscenes are super blizzare. And by blizzare, I mean a lot of racial insanity and a drug cartel in the plot.
Thats interesting about the focus being taken away instead of health. I beat it on easy and many times they would hit me and bot hurt me. I thought it was because i was on easy..... So your saying its like that on medium and hard too because it takes away focus and not health. I think thats a bad design. They xould have done it like tmnt shredders revenge. When you try and focus and get hit, it breaks the focus and still hurts you.
This somehow looks works than tmnt shredders revenge. Tmnt SR already had a bunch of issues if you play beat em ups hard core but this looks way worse. If you didn’t like tmnt SR probably don’t touch the knock offs that are coming out day one till some reviews say they’re good
I've been playing beat em ups for 35 years and this is lacking imho. Plays more so like a mobile touchscreen game rather than a retro styled beat em up
It’s already dead without online multiplayer. Shredder Revenge got online multiplayer. I’m ready for Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero early release to come out already.
There are better beat em ups for free on Open BOR. This game would've been impressive maybe 15 years ago, but all it does is mainly copy paste from other better beat em ups like scott pilgrim or tmnt.
@@fatherdom7619 barely copy pastes from those games. Its average at best doesn't do anything to make it memorable, could be any property pasted over these sprites and wouldnt really matter... The game will be forgotten in a week where stuff like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT Shredders Revenge continue to be talked about and played.
Ridiculous pricing. The artwork sucks. Gameplay doesn't feel as smooth as double dragon or turtles shredder's revenge, but overall it's just ok. I only played the first level. The hitboxes seem a bit off too. Nice pixelart though.
If this game surprised you, then you have low expectations of games. This is a $5.00 game at best. Looks like some studio was making an 8 bit fighting game and then someone said, HEY can you reskin this game to Karate kid... SUUUUURE! No Thanks.
Shame, really wanted this to be decent but it seems like a low effort attempt. I checked out the price anyway and it's £35!??? What the..? To me that just reinforced my impression that the game has been hastily thrown together as a cash grab, hoping it will sell on nostalgia alone. If I see it in a sale for sub £5 I'll maybe take a punt.
8:20 lol yeah why change the art style for the cut scenes. Should be the same style. TMNT makes the best best em ups. This looks good but the way you can't destroy boxes unless you in the exact right spot. No good. .

This game was made here in Argentina Ron!!
I’m still in awe of how many Beat’em Ups Streets of Rage 4 kickstarted…
I think the $39.99 asking price for this game is ridiculous.
Yeah, it really is. I have seen other beat 'em ups pull off a higher price than normal, but they always had a lot of content to make up for it. This seems really barebones. I was going to pick it up on launch, but not at that price 😂
That's the Game Mill tag price, every game they release is a 40 bucks
Was Double Dragon worth 60 when it came out?(btw, that's $163, today)
Just wait a year. It'll be free on EPIC GAMES and what not...
Every Switch games (but Nintendo's) are often on mega-sales. Use websites like Dekudeals to track the deals.
This looks like a good game... For $4.99. I'd buy it.
Thanks for the review. I was really looking forward to this one. But I guess I'll wait for a big 75% sale.

love all the beat em ups coming out….wanna see more…
A true testament to TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is just how many knockoffs it inspired.
@@Scarhj This recent surge of ‘80s/‘90s themed retro-styled beatem ups are thanks to Shredder's Revenge (specifically the ones themed on Toxic Crusader, MMPR, GI Joe and this).
@@Scarhj Shredder's Revenge really kicked off more games from those eras like this.
Streets of Rage 4 was the Beat'em Up that came back, made money and likely inspired all these other new releases.
@@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 And then the Scott Pilgrim game before SoR4. You're not wrong, but after Shredders Revenge it feels like the genre blew up even more with several properties from that era all getting beat em up games.

I'd sooner give that credit to Scott Pilgrim vs The World
They need a new river city ransom game like this. But more thought put into it!!!!
Wow this, plus GIJoe and another upgrade to TMNT Shredders revenge? Pretty awesome!
I would like to see an animated cartoon show of Karate Kid. That would be awesome!
There actually was a cartoon show of The Karate Kid back in 1989 but it only had 1 Season
Happened before.
There was in 1989, but it’s non-canon to the Karate Kid movies & Cobra Kai
I agree with your analysis of this game 100%! The main thing I’m wondering is where the hell is Daniel‘s white gi option? You only have two options for Daniel!
The pixel art is amazing. Love it. And the controlls are great too. Doing the jump and holding the heavy attack button down and release feels real good. I think 25$ is a good selling price. I bought it on the switch for 40$ or whatever.
I would have bought this for $14.99. I'll wait for MMPR Rita's Rewind.
Got a steam key for £15 so I’m happy with that.
I’m trying to have every 2d scroller on steam so had to be done
Really like this game but would love to see someone do custom cover artwork with different cover art for the game and I would love to see a moder redo the cut scenes. Those are my only gripes about the game.
Thank God I didn't waste my money on this game I saw the gameplay of this and I was like no thanks
Looks good, but the animated sprites and backgrounds look so similar to TMNT Shredder's Revenge, and Toxic Adventure. Are they all drawn by the same developer or something?
Looks interesting.

The trailers looked good, but these cutscenes weren't in the trailer far as I can remember lol🤣they didn't highlight that.
I like it but tbh I would be totally hyped if they actually did this to Cobra Kai instead of the other games even though they ain't bad.
I'll buy this when it's under 20
I do hope they do a third cobra Kai game but a 3d version like the new double dragon game that's about to come out what do you guys think?
I think this game looks pretty awesome! But, I would not pay $40 for this. A $30 price tag may have been a better move. Probably would sell better overall.
I can see this selling really well when it goes on sale.
“Wisdom tree box art”. 😅😂😊
I was about to buy this game until I saw the cut scenes it looked like wii shovel wear
And I just don’t want it ,
I can’t believe it’s 2024 and they still can’t do justice to this classic franchise
Weird cutscenes prolly why there isn't any room for sprites!
I really wanted to get this but it has no online co-op only local co-op.
Those cutscenes really gave me a "Spanish for Everyone" type of vibe in a bad way. Incase you don't know what I'm talking about, Spanish for Everyone was a DS shovelware game by Gamemill and is just basically a crappy wordcross game only the cutscenes are super blizzare.

Dream Johnny cut scenes

When you try and focus and get hit, it breaks the focus and still hurts you.
At least it looks better than LJN in the 90s
I've still hot PTSD from trying to kick the bad guys off bikes on target renegade I liked the look of this until I seen the bike bit 😂😂
Seriously. As soon as I saw that I thought, "Man, I always hated those parts."
@@notsoanonymous2458 lol I just can't afford to throw the switch like I used to throw my old joysticks around when I rage quit 😅
Another tmnt shredder's revenge dlc just got showcased
enjoyable? sure. Worth the high price when superior games it's copying are far, far cheaper? Nope.
Man, they gave Mr. Miyagi a pot belly!
This somehow looks works than tmnt shredders revenge. Tmnt SR already had a bunch of issues if you play beat em ups hard core but this looks way worse. If you didn’t like tmnt SR probably don’t touch the knock offs that are coming out day one till some reviews say they’re good
Yeah this doesn’t look that great. Certainly not worth the price tag.
I think it would be good as a 20 dollar title but I know the switch cart Nintendo makes people buy is super expensive for no reason. Seems okay though
Looks like this one is kinda mid. Might be ok to pick up when it's on sale. Thanks for the review.
Its really cute
I've been playing beat em ups for 35 years and this is lacking imho. Plays more so like a mobile touchscreen game rather than a retro styled beat em up
Looks pretty cool but the way you describe it makes it seem like some prototype
I think it looks way to much like Shredder's Revenges and Double Dragon Gaiden.
Maybe we’ll get Maiden Cops.
Well here is hoping Toxic Avenger and GI-Joe will be good at least….
It’s already dead without online multiplayer. Shredder Revenge got online multiplayer. I’m ready for Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero early release to come out already.
ill wait till it gets on sale pretty much looks like double dragon nothing new brought to the table

10 bucks max
Fighting has zero impact. Strange. Even old games like SOR2 or Final Fight are way better imo.
this looks like a $15 game tbh
the music is bad
videojuego 100% Argentino
Werd!
From the initial trailer it looked like garbage
Temu TMNT
Karate kid the movie is okay, but I could see it working as a beat em up style game
i saw the cut scene looool pass!!
nw games getting pretty but noobs sry
cobra kai is such horrible crap i could barely finish season 1
8:20 lol yeah why change the art style for the cut scenes. Should be the same style.
TMNT makes the best best em ups. This looks good but the way you can't destroy boxes unless you in the exact right spot. No good. .
