How it feels

A pixelated boxing tycoon with time management and branching storylines, balancing training, investigation, and humor.

What players say

Players are split on Punch Club: many love the 90s pop culture references and addictive loop, but nearly as many are driven away by the punishing stat decay, constant grinding, and forced walking. Long-time players warn that the game is abandoned by its developer with gamebreaking bugs left unfixed.
