Set in the 1980s, the game follows Ken after he earns his karate black belt. He aims to become a top fighter and eventually open his own dojo, balancing work, training, and encounters with friends and rivals.
Fights focus on karate techniques and controlling your strikes rather than superpowers or high-flying moves. Matches can cause injuries, and you face different rule sets, from restrictions on punches to no-rules bouts.
Work earns money, while training improves Ken’s characteristics and abilities. Build skill and reputation through fights, tournaments, special events, and exhibitions as you pursue your goal of running a dojo.
