Great game with a few issues
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
Underrated Boxing Sim/Strategy
-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!
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

Decent Time Killer

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
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?
Love the game but crippler is OP
The game
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
DnD mechanics plus boxing = fun
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
Update: Amazingly fun turn based boxing game that will keep you entertained and deserves more love
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.
