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

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this game upon release. I came back to replay it just now ans have found it to be a terrible mess. The game will crash, and regardless if you have saved or not, when you return all your progress will be gone. I'm talking potentially hours of progress, with prior saves even mysteriously gone after the crash. No longer worth the time investment with that major of a big.

First I'll say this, I LOVE this game. I have it on PC, bought this a long time ago on a different device and enjoyed it. Between when I bought it and now when I wanted to play again something has gone horribly wrong. The game is still fun, but it's one of the least stable games I've ever played now. It crashes regularly, and if it does when you boot it back up you're locked to a black screen. You HAVE to uninstall just to get to play, but then you lose your game data... Devs, please fix 🙂

Decent game, not long enough to warrant purchase. I thoroughly enjoyed my AGILITY run and the pros and cons with it, but after the "beginning phase" of the game you stop getting thrashed around and it's almost a fast track to the end of the game. At first there are many paths a person can take in both stats, perks and story, but it all ultimately ends too soon. Once I got a few abilities that I deemed as a must have, all fights started becoming easier and without strategery. Then the game ends.
