Create your own political party, lace up your boxing gloves, and punch your way to the White House in Election Year Knockout! In a country torn apart by its political divide, the nation has resorted to boxing to settle its differences. Fight your way through hilarious political opponents before squaring off with president Donald Thump himself! Election Year Knockout is like a White House Correspondents dinner with boxing gloves, uppercuts, and haymakers! The game hits both sides of the aisle hard, picking on Democrats and Republicans. Unwind after voting in your local primary, caucus, or the general election and give your favorite (or least favorite) politician an uppercut to the face! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Knockout looks to be a polished, suitably ridiculous arcade boxing game. - Pocket Gamer Game Features Beat them all and become president! Fight political parody figures including Jab Bush, Uncle Joe, and Birdie Sanders. Maybe you even have what it takes to reach the White House and take on the leader of the nation, Donald Thump! Each opponent presents a unique challenge with their own strengths and weaknesses. Absolutely hilarious Hysterically funny cutscenes and political jokes are mixed in everywhere. You’ll never laugh harder at a boxing game! Dozens of challenging bonus missions The game doesn’t end after beating an opponent in the ring. Optional bonus missions will keep political pugilists interested for hours. Can you beat Jab Bush with a single punch or counter Donald Thump’s Stormy Smash with a haymaker three times in a single round? Boost your way to the presidency Politicians never fight fair, and neither should you! Unlock powerful boosts like Cup of Filibuster that will allow you to punch almost forever. The veto boost allows you to make one final stand, but be careful! You can only use it once per match.
