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

Complete far too quickly and slightly disappointed there isn't a new game+ or just an open ended option after completion. Really good game up until the ending, not sure if I missed certain things but in parts the story seemed disjointed and kinda thrown together. Some quests seemed to have really lazy endings that rather than making me laugh had me more annoyed such things were happening. As for the playability/controls/concept all good and working. My managers dialo did appear outside the box
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.
Don't get me wrong, I think this game is great, but I found a glitch where I stopped being able to interact with ANYTHING after taking a potion, And now I just can't progress. If you patch that, 5 stars easily. But since the glitch still exists, one star.
Stat decay is terrible. Played this game on PC and was actually able to progress. Have made 5 attempts and I found myself stuck in a hole, deleting and starting over. Wish it wasn't too late for a refund. I remember enjoying this on PC but I can tell some terrible updates have been made.
I LOVE punch club, however after recently re installing it I got my stats to a really high level and then the game crashed and I lost all that progress, the auto save function didn't work either. Please if you still update this game please fix this.
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'ma be honest, even for my high quality phone, the game is still laggy and I don't know why, it's either the game or my phone, but I'm pretty sure it's the game. However, I still like the game regardless, and I would rate it s 5 Star if there wasn't any lag issues and delay.
The overall game is great. Beautiful graphics, story, and gameplay. The only problem I see is the lag in between certain screenshifts. Such as entering the gym or going to the store.
fun game reminds me a little bit of fight club to an extent which I think was supposed to be the idea best thing about this app in particular I can find it on all sorts of platforms I'm playing it here on my phone for an example I also have it for my switch and my DS system I'm not sure about other systems but it seems to be on Android and Nintendo and it's a lot of fun to play
This game is finished too quickly and doesnt have much of a reason to play after a while. Why not add mutiplayer fights to give players a reason to keep playing or add new styles for each stat instead of 1 style for each stat 2 styles for each stat for players who have gotten bored with this to come back
I like the game. But can we please have the option to skip the tutorial? If not that then maybe a way to speed through the dialog? It can be annoying when starting at new fighter.
It was ok at first, but it started to feel like it was hard to manage everything. Like I was spending more time managing money, hunger, and sleep than I was training. It just got boring after 100 in game days. Maybe if your skills didn't go down so quickly it would be more fun.
Worth buying. So so so much better than the free version. Extremely fun game with no ads, no micro transactions, or issues with it being touch controlled.
Fun art, but everything else is just barely functional. The skill trees, in particular, appear to have been designed by an insane person, and coded so only about half the skills actually work.
Unplayable on all screen phones because the game does not change it's resolution. The game is cut off on all sides of the screen making it impossible to press most buttons. Please update your game developers!
well, there is a game breaking bug at the start of the game. asks you to pick uo the newspaper but it does not appear. amazing game on pc but this port is shocking. looking at the other reviews this issue was reported a year ago and there has been no patch. just play it on pc
cool game, a little slow paced because of the grinding but story, gameplay and especially builds options are on spot, a little buggy
Good until the late game where stat decay makes it almost impossible to finish without major grinding. Rest of the game is fun though. Plenty of story and progression
Could be a great game but it's lacking a in depth story it's very generic and lots of glitching in very obvious places. Like you are going to have glitches no question.
Please look into this. I loved the game, but when I follow the "Don" story the game glitches out when I'm doing the last battle in the prison. Otherwise great game keep it up.
There's something about this game... I love it so muchm I've played at least 6 times through between mobile and steam.
Bough this, expected mobile save on phone so I could play from pc to mobile and back will probably keep on pc but on mobile forget it not wasting more time with this, good game however due to this I will give you 1 star
Sadly, no Bluetooth controller support for this game, which is a deal breaker for me. My MOGA Hero controller is not supported. For those of you who are willing to endure touchscreen, have at it.
Its a really good game for the story, fighting and the characters. But I would like to be able to fight instead of it do it for me. But its a game I would play over and over.
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.
