Karate Champ App Reviews

The look is like the arcade but it is totally unplayable. The buttons are to close to the stick, there is a lot of lag. For me this game is not to be recommended at all

Its actually a great version of the arcade game, the problem is its REALLY uncomfortable to play. Since the game is played vertically your hands feel like they are being crushed trying to use the joysticks. But I guess the game is simple enough that it doesnt really affect your ability to play the game, its just a bit annoying. The game doesnt give you any continues to work with so the challenge is definitely there. The multiplayer I havent touched as I have a older version of the iphone, but I will update it to try it out. I do hope they add a option to play the game in widescreen mode and put the joysticks on the left and right of the gameplay area. I guess it wouldnt look like an arcade cabinet as much but it would help with the comfort factor. Sound wise its perfect, great sound effects. The menus are pretty good too.

I used to plunk quarters into the original arcade game so to see this on my iPhone is so cool! My only complaint: the game is still too hard. Maybe add an update with the ability to start where you last died? Thank you for bringing back a classic game!!!

This was one of my favorite arcade games. So glad I found this gem. I even remembered the combos! Multiplayer works good. Had a bit of trouble syncing but it eventually worked without a hitch. Single player on hard offers a good challenge although I remember the arcade version being tougher. All in all a great game and totally worth getting!

A perfect translation and one of the most entertaining games. I was stunned to find this game here. Well worth the money for it and more. Still as much fun as ever.

Totally recreates the feel and style of the original!!! I feel like I am back in an arcade on the 80s.

Man I used to steal change from my mom everyday to play this game! I had a 5 dollar a day habbit for this game. Exactly like the original, controls are easy to use. Great work guys!! The only thing you need to add is a continue mode when you loose so you can keep progressing through the levels to ffinally ight the dreaded black gi!

This was so worth a buck. I loved this game as a kid. Thank you for bringing it back and the controls are just like the old days. Only reason I didnt go 5 star is because you cant leave the game and come back. Put that in and its 5 star

Total nostalgia! So funny, I remember stealing quarters from my mom too to play this game. So hilarious !!

What else is there to say?

Before the time of Sub-Zero, before the time of even Ken and Ryu.. There was Karate Champ. Great game to add to your 80s game app collection.. Truly is an exact replica of the original arcade hit. At $1.99 its a bargain. man I too stole quarters from my mom.. jeeze looks like karate champ had the same effect on all of us! lol

How do u put this....feel in training is great well worth .99$

Ive been playing thus game my whole life. Can you please include a mode in the next update where I can just play the bonus levels? Ive never beaten the bull, broken every board or evaded all the objects. Also, can you include a mode thats fair where the CPU has to win two rounds to win the match instead of one? Finally, Yie Ar Kung Fu for the NES was the first fighting game. :)

This is my favorite game of all time, makes me feel like Im in the middle of the movie "bloodsport"

This was one of my favorite games in the arcade and the only fighting game I really liked. Great fun on the iPhone and iPad. My only complaint is that it doesnt save my hard earned high scores! It would be nice to see the art upresed in the iPad version as its really blocky.

U need game center. That will make this the ultimate

I was instantly transported back to my youth when I found this game. I would love to see more great 80s arcade games.

This is a treat for the iphone.... Controls: 9/10

Addictive game! Just how I remember it to be. The only thing now is that once you upgrade to ios7, everything doesnt line up anymore. The boards are not on top of the table anymore. Theyre part of the table now.

Great nostalgia! I used to love these guys and the way they moved. However, theres no lunge punch. You used to be able to lunge punch the head or the body(forward,up or forward,forward). Those just dont exist here and its a major disappointment in a pay app.
