Karate Bros

What is Karate Bros?

Karate Bros is a high-energy, retro-style beat-‘em-up rhythm game featuring two martial arts siblings—Kenji and Roku—who fight evil with fists, flips, and funky beats. Think Double Dragon meets Friday Night Funkin’, with a splash of Incredibox swagger.

  • Style: 80s neon pixel art + punchy synthwave soundtrack.
