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

Great game but I have one complaint with mobile, the black screen upon loading in after the first time playing. However, I have found a solution that works for me. If I go into the settings and remove permissions for everything then load back in, it ask for permissions to access files, and when I accept it starts working again. This makes me feel like the startup of the game is linked to pressing "allow" which us wierd. Outside of that, absolutely amazing game!

Love the game the first few hours I played. Unfortunately, I never closed the game in those first few hours to find out it's a black screen if you try to open the game again. You have to reinstall the game every time to keep playing. Don't fall into this trap of a purchase. Will change the review if they fix the issue, but don't look anytime soon from what I have researched.

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 🙂
