Fight as the lone hero to save the princess from the evil warlord Akuma. His relentless guards and pesky hawk will challenge your skill whether you remember the original, have played the remake, or are experiencing Karateka for the first time.

Ratings and reviews

I was looking for the original 1984 Apple 2 version of Karateka and here it is in all its glory! The touch screen controls work really well for this classic game and it has a rewind feature to help you out in the games more difficult areas. It also has 3 different color displays: the original color display, amber monochrome and green monochrome as well as crt scanline filter. If your wanting to play this classic game on your smartphone look no further! ☺☺☺☺☺ ps. Its only .99 cents! 😎

Amazing cinimatic game! Karateka is one of the best cinimatic games of all time! And this port is just as good with lots of graphics options, some of the touch controls on android and great mechanics! I would totally recommend this game to anyone who likes retro games!

First played Karateka on our Apple //e 35 years ago. Had to buy it (a) for nostalgia and (b) because I know my copy back in the day wasn't paid for, so I owe Jordan at least 99¢. Beyond thrilled to find it here so I can quit playing it on my emulator. 😄
