How it feels

A retro-inspired arcade boxing game with fast, violent, and flashy fights against eccentric opponents in a psychedelic sci-fi setting.

What players say

Players say Thunder Ray looks great with hand-drawn art and aliens, but controls feel clunky with reported latency issues. The game is short with few fights and relies on trial-and-error pattern recognition rather than satisfying gameplay. Many compare it unfavorably to Punch Out and note it uses AI voice acting.
