Great game

Worth paying for to unlock extra skills. Only problem is sometimes erases save if your storage is full on your phone. And the save string system doesn’t seem to work properly

なかなか楽しい。

放置していてもお金も貯まるしそれでトレーニングも出来て強くなれる。

Riesen sucht Faktor

Das Spiel macht großen Spaß. Man bleibt total drauf hängen . Leider muss man erst Geld bezahlen für um weiter zu kommen . Genauso finde ich es schade wenn man schon 19 kills und 130 ko passiert nichts mehr

Great game with a few issues

First off, this game is great — a ton of fun and the little Easter egg characters have a Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out vibe. I’m personally enamored with adjusting/combining boxer perks to find the best for each boxer to use.

Now I play primarily using “free will” (great name for auto mode) and have found that with the combat speed set to 5x, the game breaks in ways that make it seem like something is causing the turn order to overlap, which sometimes results in my boxer getting a decision win when it shouldn’t (before the end of a match/round) or my boxer getting knocked out when it’s still standing. The most frustrating of the bugs is my boxer dying from this — I’ve had a few boxers go 27-0 and their first loss is a death attributed to them instead of their opponent who actually has the filled death meter. I thought maybe switching apps or answering messages from the banner preview was causing this until it happened on its own once.

Two solid quality of life additions: first would be a running log of how perks affect different parts of your boxer. Total damage/accuracy increases/decreases and what punches/body parts they affect would be great. Second, some way to affect fighter “personalities” in auto mode. For example, if I choose a perk where my boxer gets 25% more damage fighting inside, they will become more aggressive about getting inside and use hooks and uppercuts more. Or if I choose many countering perks, the boxer will let their opponent come to them more.

Overall worth the money spent and the dev seems to care about improving the game (last update was a day ago) so I’m looking forward to the fixes and to see how this game evolves. (:

Really good game

The game a definitely worth 10 bucks, super fun and well made 🤙

Underrated Boxing Sim/Strategy

Pros:
-Fun unique perk synergies
-Easy to learn moveset/tactics
-Addicting gameplay loop
-Solid opponent progression
-No secondary monetary currency (gold/credits)
-Good usable strategies in between rounds
-Funny/Quirky character design and announcer voice

Cons:
-Questionable sim moves
-Lack of gym progression
-Talent scouting is weak
-Random crashes
-Custom fighter has random talents
-$10 price tag for full game
-Low quality U.I.

I believe the game could use a few more perks, ai sim improvements, plus a slight price decrease to $6-$8 bucks and this game would
be a true diamond in the rough on the App Store. For a independent game this thought out is 5 stars regardless

Download rn and you won’t be sorry!

I absolutely love this game. There are so many different specialities and perks a fighter can have. Late game the ai is so much better than I am so I just let it cook. One of my absolute favorite things about this game is that even without paying for the full game you can get your fighters to #1. I’ve got two things I would like to see changed/added but they are very minor and this is a 10/10 game in every way.
Around rank #100 it gets very hard to keep track of the perks you and your opponents have. This leads me to giving up on keeping up with it and just letting the ai win for me. I wouldn’t like to see less perks but maybe a way to easily see which ones affect a move you are about to choose.
I may not be understanding something but the amount of injury taken doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t feel like uppercuts, hooks or body shots injury for more than a jab. I can see that the chance is higher but that doesn’t matter when I am knocking the opponent down every other punch. The perk that gives you bonus health for each mrdr is my favorite so it’d be nice if I could make a build around close range and actually trust that after 10 uppercuts they are going to be down for good and not just get back up over and over again.

Fun but a bug

The game is fun and i like trying out different strategies with the boxers. My one issue is that i can be dominating a fight but if i knock the other boxer down and they get back up as the bell for the final round rings, I will lose in a decision. This has happened twice now, the most recent ruining a 42 fight win streak.

Hidden gem

Absolutely adore this game. Purchased on PC and will be purchasing here as well. Only thing I wish for is the ability to train the boxer intelligence (AI) like you see in the underplayed Domina game on PC. Not a programmer so don’t know how that mechanic was implemented or how the AI here works but feel like it could be cool.

Decent Time Killer

Was very fun at first as it was difficult and expensive learning the mechanics & boxing. But after combining precision perk + long range perks and the same 2 jab 1 straight I had a 97 KO all the way to 1st. It became a grind and I didn’t use any other moves besides just keeping a distance and using jab/straight. Was definitely fun, but short lived

Bought the legends pass

Having fun with the game, and I’m mostly satisfied with the legends purchase, but there are definitely some improvements needed and I don’t think they would be that hard to implement. 1. If you buy the legends expansion, you should be able to change/customize everything about your current fighters, not just create a fighter in sandbox and customize there. Name changes, stat changes, look changes, and even what perks are available, the legends pass is expensive so let the people who buy it have complete freedom 2. sandbox mode also should let you pick available perks, I hate creating a huge monster with a massive body and he ends up only having access to lightweight perk, and you can’t see that while you’re creating them. 3. The death system only really works at the beginning of the game. Once you and your opponent have 100+ death resist it basically never happens, even when I have perks and strategies like fainting to cause more injuries. They always get knocked out before it can happen. 4. Your fighter should move up the ladder a lot faster if they’re on crazy win streaks and have a lot of KOs. It doesn’t make sense to be 35-0 with 35 KOs and not even be close to the champion. But maybe that’s just my preference for realistic rankings irl. 5. The perks need to be a bit more balanced. Some are clearly better than others and can be easily abused by the player but also by the ai sometimes lol.

Multiplayer Mode

The game is fun and strategic, but I think it would be even better with some kind of like online tournament mode. It would be cool to enter rounds with other players, where you bring your fighter build and see how it performs against real people instead of AI. Even a simple bracket or seasonal competition would add more tension and replay value, and make wins feel more meaningful.

Response from developer

Hey thanks for your review. Did you know community tournaments are hosted on the discord a few times a year where real players submit their boxers into tournaments hosted by the developer? The tournament is then simulated and the results posted, a champ crowned. Thanks for playing!

Strong Foundation, But AI Needs Better Adaptation

At first, the fights feel tense and engaging, and the AI gives the impression that it is learning and reacting to what you do. That early back-and-forth is one of the game’s strongest points and makes matches feel thoughtful.

In my experience, the AI does have an adaptive system and it does change its behavior during fights. However, that adaptation is not strong enough once the core mechanics are understood. Even when the AI switches tactics, I can usually rely on the same basic strategy and still regain control of the fight.

The issue is not that the AI is broken or poorly designed, but that it does not push back hard enough against repeated play. When a safe and effective sequence is found, it can be used too consistently without real risk. Over time, fights begin to feel familiar, more like following a known pattern than reacting to a smart opponent.

The foundation for a strong adaptive AI is clearly there, but it needs to do more to recognize and counter repeated strategies. Overall, improving this would make fights feel more dynamic, challenging, and rewarding over the long run.

Is this game your mom?

because I am astonished by the depth and I can’t get off of it. this game is a ton of fun, and wholly unique. the AI is intelligent, so allowing your fighters to fight automatically is a viable method if you don’t wish to engage directly with the fighting mechanics. even with autofight on, fights are tense as just a couple of devastating blows can result in a fighter dying in the ring. Plenty of content is available for free, but the $8 upgrade was so worth full access.

Love the game but crippler is OP

I shouldn’t have to fight opponents not ranked in the top 100 who had crippled and can kill my fighter with 2-3 blows. Major injuries are way to OP.

The game

8.7/10 - did not buy the full game only played the beta

It’s an enjoyable game I had played it till both my characters reached in the top 20s it’s overall a really fun game to be honest

The fighting mechanics are simple really easy to understand and short description to not make it too hard. Also the gameplay is very simple I’m sure that most people will understand and I enjoy a another option called tactic it helped me throughout some of my characters fights and saved my goat Hyun. You also get a later option to do if you upgrade your gym though I only had played the beta

Things I think the developers should add: A another thing I would find it interesting to add would be conferences. between the fighters when they’re about to fight and like reputation to make it more interesting especially events while the days are passing by going by like a random tournament for a title or a skill that not available in the skill tree or just in general how fighters feel more lifelike

But that’s up to the game developers it’s very good concept and hope it shines further

Now to my cons of it the game is a bit buggy.

as I was pushed out the ring by the move bulldozer i think I couldn’t tell due to the image it’s like very pixelated not a big problem

Artstyle: I have a hit of hard time trying to figure out what’s going on especially with the split guard and body shot I know there’s a log but I’m not nerdy enough to go in they’re and check it out.

Gym upgrades: I also want to say the upgrades on the gym are good idea but I feel like it should be made also like a trait tree they’re a lot of boxing gyms that do it differently

Map designs: it’s kinda plain other than the crowd of fighters around you on one map. I don’t really feel excited to be on the maps that my character fight so I think like adding a map where you can see fans or add a eagle like view to see the crowd or maybe the coaches behind the game or maybe add introductions where it makes my character automatically move towards the ring like a walkout

But thanks for reading it’s a good game and I enjoyed a lot and authors or developers don’t take my advice or opinions for heart it’s just based on my point of view and I probably sound like a know of it all but nah I don’t I’m just a guy who rants to what to add.
I know games making are hard and I have tried before and failed but I believe in you chat 🙏

My experience: at the start I was getting killed because I didn’t know what the mechanics were but you’d pick it up once you start going further in
Small tip: Accuracy is the key thing in the game. even if you have such big damage on your character if you can’t hit your target what’s the point of having it.

This is the goat boxing game

Fantastic game. The diversity of builds is amazing and I love doing a pivot punch to cut an angle combo into an uppercut ok

DnD mechanics plus boxing = fun

I’m not a huge fan of boxing. I am however, a huge fan of phone games that go above and beyond the norm.
In this game, you have dicerolls, combined with your skills AND stats, to determine the outcome of every move. You run your gym and train up and choose skills for your boxers, which drastically effect how they are played.
You can customize your boxers to your hearts desire.
The creator is on discord and extremely receptive to suggestions. THERE ARE ZERO ADS. You basically get the full game for free, you can spend some cash for more boxer spaces and extra perks if you enjoy it but it’s not needed at all.
The dev has a passion for his game and it really shows. This game is really a rare gem in almost all aspects.
The only real flaw, is that the UI could use some improvement. But when the gameplay keeps me coming back every single day, it’s just a small gripe.
4.8 out of 5 stars. Definitely give this game a shot.

Turn based boxing : tactics

Excellent game!

Update: Amazingly fun turn based boxing game that will keep you entertained and deserves more love

Update:
A few months ago I reviewed this game and gave it 3 stars, primarily due to a fun gameplay loop that was hurt by bad UI. Since then, I spent time learning the UI, mechanics, and understanding the game more. The developer also made awesome updates along the way that significantly improved the experience. I am very happy to say this game is amazingly fun and has potential to be huge in my opinion. New users may be a little overwhelmed at first, but once you learn how the game functions it is super fun. I recommend this to anyone who likes boxing, turn based games, sports career games, or someone who wants to kill time.

Original review:
The core gameplay loop of recruiting boxers, fighting with them, upgrading, etc is good. But the games UI is horrible. The details in fights don’t fit on the screen, the layout outside of fights is unintuitive and doesn’t guide you well. This wouldn’t be a problem if there wasn’t an absurd amount of words to explain everything. If this game gets the UI updated and becomes more friendly to players, it could be an amazing time killer game

Thank you for your feedback! I have added some event cards that pop up and function as a tutorial, hopefully improving the experience for new players.
