Karate Kid Game's Cutscenes Leave Players Disappointed
Gamers are buzzing about the new Karate Kid Street Rumble game. This 2D beat 'em up promises nostalgic fun with its retro pixel art and button-mashing combos. However, there's a glaring issue that's hard to ignore. The game's cutscenes are shockingly bad, especially for a game priced at $40. Let's dive into what went wrong and why players are so disappointed.
Great Gameplay, Awful Cutscenes
The gameplay in Karate Kid Street Rumble is solid. You get to relive iconic moments from the Karate Kid movies. The pixel art is vibrant and the levels are engaging. But the cutscenes? They look like they belong in a cheap mobile game.
These short, barely animated panels try to highlight major events from the movies. Unfortunately, they come off as rushed and poorly executed.
Player Reactions
Players have been vocal about their disappointment. Here are some common complaints:
- Cutscenes look cheap and rushed
- Characters don't resemble their movie counterparts
- The $40 price tag feels unjustified
One Steam reviewer pointed out that Daniel LaRusso doesn't even look like himself in the first cutscene. They urged others to watch a gameplay video to see just how bad it is.
Comparisons to Other Games
Many players are comparing Karate Kid Street Rumble to other retro-styled brawlers. Games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge offer better quality at a lower price. This makes the $40 price tag even harder to swallow.
Despite the bad cutscenes, the game does have its moments. Watching these cringe-worthy scenes on Twitch or YouTube can be oddly entertaining. It's like watching a "so bad it's good" movie.
Hope for Improvement
There is hope that the game will get a price cut. This would allow more players to enjoy the beautiful pixel art created by the small Argentinian team, Odaclick Game Studios. They don't deserve to be lumped in with poorly received games like last year's Walking Dead game or Skull Island: Rise of Kong.
GameMill Entertainment, the publisher, has yet to comment on the backlash. Hopefully, they'll take player feedback seriously and make some improvements.
