Dirty Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Karateka®, a modern take on the 8-bit karate classic by Prince of Persia® creator Jordan Mechner, is available today worldwide on Steam. The game is on sale with a 10% discount for the first week. Created on an Apple II by Jordan Mechner in his Yale dorm room, Karateka became a #1 bestseller and influenced a generation of gamers with its groundbreaking rotoscoped animation and cinematic cutscenes. 28 years later, Mechner returns to his indie roots with a reimagined Karateka for todays digital game platforms, featuring art by Jeff Matsuda (The Batman) and music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin (Civilization IV). A karate-wrapped love story set in feudal Japan, Karateka will delight both nostalgic fans and new players as they fight to save the lovely Mariko from the evil warlord Akuma and reunite her with her True Love.
