Karatedo RPG: A New Era with KARATE ROGUE

Today, on February 12, 2026, Kairai Do GAMES has launched the highly anticipated crowdfunding campaign for their latest title, KARATE ROGUE. This rogue-like dungeon RPG promises an immersive experience, allowing players to dive into intense battles while mastering martial arts techniques.

About the Crowdfunding Campaign

The initiative is geared towards raising funds for additional content development, promotional efforts, and debugging for KARATE ROGUE, which is set to release on Steam later this year. The campaign's goal is set at 3 million yen. Yet, if this target is exceeded, stretch goals include the creation of a theme song, additional characters, and new stages.

Game Features

In this game, players become the hero thrown into a dungeon where they must use their martial arts skills to combat monsters. The turn-based battles offer a unique combination of techniques to build powerful combos against enemies. Players can also strategize counters and defensive moves reminiscent of action films, making each encounter unique.

As players progress through the battles, they will gain new techniques and collect items and gear, ultimately forging their own unique style as they conquer the depths of the dungeon.

Reward Tiers and Exclusive Items

KARATE ROGUE's crowdfunding offers a variety of reward tiers ranging from 3,000 to 60,000 yen, each inclusive of more affordable tiers' rewards. Some of the exclusive items include:

• - Custom MMA Gloves: Manufactured by TWINS SPECIAL, these gloves are designed with a green accent reflecting the game's aesthetic. Available for contributors at the 50,000 yen tier.
• - Original Soundtrack CD: Featuring music composed by Tomoaki Oga, known for his work on Pokémon Sun & Moon, this CD is available for tiers starting at 18,000 yen.
• - Limited PS2-like Packaging: This tier includes a packaged Steam download code styled like classic PS2 games, available for supporters contributing 15,000 yen or more.
• - Scenario & World Setting eBook: An eBook featuring all game scenarios and world lore will be given as part of the 6,000 yen tier.
• - Special Creator Rewards: For top supporters at 60,000 yen, a complete RPG Maker MV project file will be shared, offering creators a peek into the development process.

In addition to these rewards, all backers will receive a special acrylic swing accessory.

Unique Opportunities for Supporters

A distinctly engaging reward for a limited number of backers includes becoming a “Dungeon Convict” in the game, where supporters can appear as NPCs. Other contributors can create item names and flavor text, further deepening community involvement in the game's world.

Live Stream Event
