Very liked this game. A lot of jokes, interesting gameplay, very good art and music. Waiting for continue, Punch Club 2, or DLC.
OK, you start as very weak and noobie fighter. You BECOME fighter to revenge for your father killers. Can't say more about storyline, I don't like spoilers.
Punch Club is the best tycoon game I've ever played. If you like this genre and 80's stylistics this game is foe you.
Whilst the need for constant grinding may prove too much for players looking for a carefree 80's-90's thrill, the sheer amount of love, soul and polish that has gone into every one of Punch Club's pixels, more than makes up for it. A delightful taste of what made our late childhood and early adolescence so much fun to live through and a pretty addicting management sim in its own right.
Truly an homage to the glorious eighties, Punch Club is an interesting project with a good challenge level, partially ruined by passive fights and a repetitive campaign.
Witty and undemanding game where the right tactics wins over the simple mouse-clicking your opponent to death. If you like Rocky or Blood Sport movies, and somewhere deep inside you lies a desire to become a champion, you definitely have to play the Punch Club.
If you can put up with the ever-present grind and can see through the frustrating moments then you’ll have a good time playing through Punch Club’s celebration of 90s action, if not then you may find yourself looking for a new keyboard, or worse, a monitor as a result of working through game related anger issues.
In a nutshell, Punch Club acted like a stamina-fueled boxer and wore me down. Over time I found myself loathing the training process I originally felt happy progressing in. What started as a fun progression from nobody to star became a tedious task of increasing numbers that may or may not affect the outcome of a fight.
Nice game! RPG with elements of the sandbox. FIGHT CLUB in 16 bits! Nearly.
Well it is killing time. It's nice to kick ass to those who stand in your way a champion!
Better some AAA projects (you know ;D).
This interesting game is a bit like a tycoon. Personally, I had a lot of fun playing it, it often made me laugh with its dark humor. The plot is unnaturally extended, but it has its justification. I recommend playing and checking out this game, it's perfect for late nights.
For something I got for free as part of a bundle, this game kept my interest far longer than it had the right to. To the point I completed it 100% on steam.
This game started off well-enough, with a decent story that wasn't too heavy. However, the main issue emerges when you play the game- because your attributes drain when you don't train them, Punch Club becomes a staggering monument to idle games where you mindlessly click buttons to watch numbers go up and down. By the end, it feels much like punching in numbers into a calculator rather than watching your protagonist train for a big fight. I couldn't even bear to finish the game after I realized what I was doing- just running the same repetitive tasks over and over, sometimes in different settings, but otherwise always doing the same.
I do not recommend the game and I warn those that try it on Steam- you may not realize that the game is shallow and repetitive until after the two hour refund mark. However, when on sale for under $5.00, then maybe it's worth it.
Terrible engine, one bug can mess up your whole savegame. For an non-alpha/beta release this Game is really bugged and crappy built. Engine protects against cheats/hacks but messes up the whole Game. The dev's prioritized in some wrong aspects.
SummaryTrain hard, fight crocodiles and find love. Earn your place in the Punch Club ranks, and discover who brutally murdered your father, in this choose your own adventure boxing management tycoon.
