"Wonderfully entertaining and simply must be experienced by gamers far and wide" 9/10 - HardcoreGamer

"A rich and rewarding fight sim that gives you plenty to do, and makes sure you have fun while you're doing 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.

- Boxing 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

iPhone 4 & 4S players! There's currently a scaling bug with the UI, we are working on fixing it! Please don't buy it for those devices for now.

The game was fun but
ofc pls

I run outside to the map where you can get it haha was the day I was going on the game I just got off work so I’m not sure if you want me and you could go and go home or something to go to and go home or not I don’t have a good

Beatable, but poor design.
Aidal does iGames

I just want to start by saying do not railroad your player into your DLC chapter, especially in a game where stat and time management are key, it undermines the design, and it’s annoying, if I was ready to start dark fist, I would start it. If I’m trying to go to bed and get railroaded into a 4/8/8 fight while stuck as a 1/8/4, that’s not on me, that’s on your design choices. This is a game about time/stat management, min/maxing is needed, and it feels like the balance is on a house of cards. It can be beaten, but the hurdles you go over to do it make it frustrating, and not fun. It’s too easy to get into a spiral of failure and lose days worth of training through stat degradation because you need money to catch up. The game offers alternative means to making money through ‘underground fights’ but they have a high risk/reward scheme that if you lose you suffer a penalty, which feeds back into you needing the most efficient build possible. The game has many little issues, and it’s unlikely they will be fixed or adjusted in anyway. I want to make clear it’s not one small issue, but many small issues that build up into an impeding force. The game is beatable, but it’s questionable if it’s worth the frustration put into it.

Awesome game but....

Hi tiny build! I really liked this game and managed to beat this game (on easy mode). But there is one problem. When I play in normal mode, please give more chances to get the professional card (and if you beat it, you fly to Russia to beat Ivangeif) and also, Roy just dies randomly please, just fix it to either just make him stay alive or make it more dramatic.

This is great

It’s an amazing game and I like the references to fight club, teenage mutant ninja turtles and so on. The dark fist side line is forced into the game a bit too much as it can become quite difficult to recover from the time lost. Otherwise quite a good game but way of the tiger could use a small boost.

Why does it have this mechanic
Disappointedteacher123

This mechanic is so dumb. I went to the pizza shop Casey dude and then it teleports me to the other side of the map for me to fight for my money. LIKE WTH IS THIS. IM AT HOME IN GAME GOING TO CASEY’S SHOP AND THEN I GET TELEPORTED WTH.FIX THE DESIGN BECAUSE IT IS SO ANNOYING.

Great game, but one issue
Fats for free 3247

Great game, but please fix fighting. I’d have 17 strength, 8 stamina, and 21 agility. Then a robber with 3 strength, 1 stamina, and 1 agility would defeat me. No matter how much I’d spam him. This mainly happens because hunger and energy go down way too quickly. When he sleeps he gets hungry, then he goes to the store to buy food, then he’s low on cash and can’t afford food and is too tired to work. So then he has nothing.

Sooooooo hard

It is impossible. If you’re a parent don’t get this game for your kid it is so frustrating! You try to work sleep workout and fight while the days move by in ten seconds. The game developers have to fix this!!!!!!

Slave of the wind

There’s a skill in there that’s literally so useless. Slave of the wind. I got trapped in there and literally lost my stamina and strength. I was at 20 on both and it went don all the way to 9. Waste of time.
