Pocket Boxing Legends

About this game

Lace up your gloves and do battle with a colorful cast of hulking opponents, each with a unique fighting style. Dodge, duck, and punch your way to victory in a rousing romp of old-timey arcade boxing action! Take on Jersey Joe, Moose McGee, Super Ivan, Mean Bean, Kimber Slash, Palooka Pete, Rasta King, and more!

Play in automatically rotated landscape or portrait mode with optional orientation lock. "Retro Mode" offsets a stylized presentation with pixel art.

Pocket Boxing features multiple gameplay modes:

"Training" - go toe to toe with a defenseless heavy bag. Learn basic play control, defensive techniques and punches.

"Amateur Circuit" - fight past three brawlers for a shot at going pro.

"Road to the Title" - battle your way up the ranks to seize the championship belt.

"Title Defense" - battle new and returning boxers, to cement your status as a living legend.

"Time Challenge" - rematch unlocked boxers to improve your statistics, notch up opponent-specific achievements, or practice against specific opponents.

Attack with jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, and body blows. Your left jab is your fastest punch. Your right hand hits harder. Fill your power meter and unleash powerful uppercuts and hooks. Keep your guard up to protect your face from jabs. Dodge or duck big punches, then unleash brutal combinations while your opponent is off balance.

Video help is available as part of the "attract mode" by staying on the splash screen.

Touch the top-right corner of the screen in-game to pause.

Ratings and reviews

Great concept but in not impressed with the delivery, the animations could really use some smoothing out and the controls could use a lot of tweaking. Kind of comes off like a flash game, but then again I didn't grow up with punch out. The screenshots are very misleading because the game is not in 3D they are all pre rendered sprites. Not trying to bash the developer but I would like the people to know what they are paying for.

Remember Bear Hugger, Dragon Chan, Vodka Drunkenski (whose name was changed to Soda Popinski in later releases), Great Tiger and Super Macho Man? This game will bring back those memories. Lots of fun

I remember playing mike tysons punch out and mr. Dream one! Also the arcade one with bear hugger and that bruce lee dude that kicks you! LOL Anyway, this is the game to play if you want that arcade punch out feeling! That retro feel is off the hook! A most buy!
