Publisher GameMill Entertainment will allow players to practice their martial arts skills later this year in The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, a side-scrolling beat ‘em up for up to four players.

Developed by Argentinian studio Odaclick, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble will let players wail on baddies across 12 levels inspired by the first three films in The Karate Kid franchise. The game will take players to familiar locations from the movies, including Topanga Beach, West Valley High, Cobra Kai Dojo, and the All Valley Tournament. Players will be able to go it alone or team up with friends through local co-op for up to four players.

The first film in The Karate Kid franchise was released way back in 1984, and Street Rumble will feature pixel-art graphics and a chiptune soundtrack to match the film’s now retro aesthetic.

The game will offer four playable characters (Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi, Ali Mills, and Kumiko) who will have access to combo attacks and signature moves. Fans will be able to unleash these moves on a variety of enemies, including film characters like Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese, and Terry Silver.

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble will hit Switch, PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles, and PC on September 20.
