More About Punch Club - Fighting Tycoon
★ "You're probably going to lose a good chunk of your life to it." - 9/10 PocketGamer
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

Please fix this game! The game itself is fantastic. Quirky, with lots of Easter eggs and tongue-in-cheek humour from the 90s. I played it on PC and on my old phone. Now, on a Samsung S22 the game after about 30 minutes of playing crashed, and won't start again.

Really enjoyed this game, but it no longer works at all. Cannot get it to start up no matter what solutions I try. Seems the developer has also abandoned trying to fix any of its issues.

Great game, but sync isn't working. I bought this specifically to continue playing on the go. I prefer mobile over PC lately. The Steam version seems to start the sync process, but the mobile app does nothing. Just closes the sync window as soon as I try connecting. - At least I can play new games on the go until this is fixed. - Android 11

I love this game totally worth the money. But I've been having issues with the game. Every time I try to start the game up, it crashes. The only way I can play it is by uninstalling the game and reinstalling it every time

The game only works when you first install it, after you save and try and go back to play its just a blank screen and freezes until it crashes. Reinstalling the game works but only until you save again, and you restart from the beginning again. Not worth $6

Game does not work. Crashes a lot and it you try to re launch you are locked to a black screen. The only way to fix it is to uninstall the game and reinstall it but you loose all your progress.

I really like the game, but I'm sick of the random, devastating crashes. It crashes and won't restart, forcing you to uninstall/reinstall, which loses all progress and makes you start from scratch! What a waste of time, AND MONEY!

You need to complete it in one run as the game bricks up after you exit it once and you can only play again by reinstalling and losing all your progress, this however is also pretty much impossible as the game crashes quite easily, so don't buy it the devs have not fixed this issue for quite some time now. It is just a really bad port to mobile.

Pretty fun, no microtransactions, overall just a solid game. A few things of note would be there's a few paths to go down, and you fight a buncha interesting characters. Keeping up with training is hard but rewarding. The mechanics change slightly over the course of the game from simple 1v1 fights into multi fight matches that line up opponents back to back.

Love this little game. THIS is what idle games WISH they were. To be clear, it's NOT am idle game. However the game is set up so that you make all the decisions for your character and his skills, then sit back and watch the payoff when he fights. It's like a strategic fight club coaching sim. I've played through it once and I wound up reinstalling it and I'm going through again. Plus I love the classic 8-bit look. Well done, devs.

1) What gets advertised about this game and what you actually do are two different things. 2) How come in the FREE version I can fight random people constantly, but in this, I can't even set up a fight? 3) The newspaper thing doesn't work, and in fact, most touches don't work and aren't obvious enough that you end up pressing all over the screen until progress happens. | What a waste of cash, even the free version is better.

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!

i want to rate this higher, but there were at least 7-10 times in the first hour or so where I exclaimed (out loud) "Let me play the game!" the early game is painfully, frequently interrupted by cutscenes and you're not able to get into a rhythm, which is especially not-fun when you're inspired to improve after a lost fight but then you're immediately FORCED away from gameplay to a cutscene or smt.

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.

I loved this game on pc. Play it there. It's problematic that when the game crashes, which it does often, you cannot get back into it without reinstalling it because of a black screen. It's frustrating also because you can't save the game without save & exit. So when your game randomly crashes you better hope you quit recently. Devs fix the port!

Game breaking bug I do love the game and will change my review to a 5 star once game breaking bug is fixed. (Spoiler next) After coming out from prison and speaking to Don, no more dialog happens and I'm forced to close game. When game reloads need to wait 3 or 4 days to fight again. Stuck in this game breaking bug. Android ios. Thank you for the awesome game. I'd like to finish soon. Update: Been over 1 year and still no update on game breaking glitch. Shameful.

2 fold problem. One, there is not an auto save and the game is fairly unstable during any kind of background phone update. I have lost 5 hours of gameplay at least 3 times in the one week I had this. When the game shuts down, you lose everything, and it seems like it should be auto saving. #2 the game asks for access to you device at a deep level including your apps and photos. Why does it need this if there is no auto save function? I tried the game on 2 installs both ways. No difference.

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.

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 🙂

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.
