About This Game

Your father was brutally murdered before your eyes. Now you must train hard, eat chicken and punch dudes in the face to earn your place in the Punch Club ranks, and discover who ended your father's life.

Punch Club is a boxing tycoon management game with multiple branching story lines. Your goal is clear, but how you get there depends on whether you want to legitimately climb the rankings, or take the more ridiculous, shady route.

Along the way you'll want to focus your talents. Will you take the Way of the Tiger, the Way of the Turtle, or the Way of the [other one?]? Your strength, accuracy and agility all depends on whichever Way enlightens your path. Do you have stripes, or flippers?

And every decision will matter, especially in your social life. You'll be juggling friendships, love life, work, recreational time, relationships, and possible stardom, all alongside your gym time and fighting aligators. It's not all just pumping iron, you know.

  • Fighter management sim with RPG and tycoon elements
  • Find out who killed your father, and maybe learn something about yourself along the way
  • Heavily story-driven, with multiple different narrative branches and game endings to discover
  • Get as deep with stats as you like, and find your own way through extensive skill trees
  • Gorgeous pixel visuals with 80-90s references and nostalgia all over the place

Stat decay (the losing of stats in game) is one of the worst game mechanics I've ever encountered.

This game is a collection of 80's references and jokes, hitting everything from rocky to mortal kombat, with plenty of 'ah ha' moments of recognizing where a character was sourced from.

You will grind, and you will grind hard. As nice as it would be to have a montage moment, the reality of the game is a balance between needs and maintaining gains, and it becomes pretty unforgiving. Just maintaining the physical requirements at the last chapter of the game will become a punishment in and of itself.

The experience is funny, the fights require some planning with crossed fingers, and the daily grind itself will make inevitable wins all the more fulfilling.

If you do not like day to day repetition, or having to carefully manage the development of a character, then you will likely not enjoy this. But if you want to commit to training and managing your fighter, there is a lot to be had from this game.

I have just finished my first playthrough with 81 days beaten in 11 hours. This game has been very entertaining from start to finish and I highly recommended it especially when I picked it up during Summer Sale. It took several restarts (roughly 5) to dial in the build that worked for me. I finished with Way of the Bear, 94% Winrate, 13/12/9 Stats.

I have to say one of the biggest criticisms of the game is the stat decay. I will admit it made the game very difficult at first, but I like challenges and once you learn how to maximize your goals in the game it becomes less of an issue. I feel that most people who play the game and complain, and there is plenty, don't either understand the system or want the game to be far easier than it is.

I will definitely be doing more playthroughs to get the rest of the achievements and to try out Hardcore mode.

All I all, highly recommended for the price, the nostalgia and the entertainment value.

I won't reccomend the game just for one gameplay mechanic. Status Decay.

It's infuriating to see the stats go down for no other reason than add fake lenght to the game. It kills the fun when you have to grind a stat for most of the (in game) day, just to see all your progress dissappear at the end of it.

There's a thread on the forums and you can see how the devs refuse to add a simple feature for disabling that mechanic when a considerable number of player are asking. It's dissapointing.

The game was fun for a couple of hours. I don't regret buying it on sale ($2.50). However it's a thumb down.

I would recommend to the developers (and players) to check Empire TV Tycoon as how to care for your fanbase.

I can have a long talk about this game . Really! About wonderful parodies on Fight Club , film - fighters 80-90s , all your favorite teenage mutant ninja turtles and ofcause about how you can get stuck at night and wake up in the morning only . BUT ..... " I'm too tired or hungry " :D

It is not a bad game... But the unnecessary grinding and the WTF ending spoiled it for me.

Impressive!
I wasn't expecting such an elaborate storyline and plentiful skill choices! Also, is great how the training was conceived and how balanced is the fighting according to the choices made in the skill tree. I chose the way of the tiger as my style, seemed the most efficient path.
I'm delighted with this game and I recommend it.

Game is fun when you start based on its premise, but the stat decay (gain 5 stat one day, only to lose 3-4 points when you fall asleep) causes the game to run 2-3x longer than what it should.

I enjoyed the first half of my experience, but by the time I got to the end I will likely never touch this game again unless they take down the stat decay. The thought of trying other fighting styles sounds fun but dat grind tho.

After two hours I realized that this game will be nothing but grinding, and the reward will not be worth it... uninstalled.

Starts fun but becomes a repetitive unbearable slog a few hours in. Ending definitly not worth the work required to stick with it.
