Punch Club - Fighting Tycoon

Punch Club is a mixed bag. It's got an interesting theme, mechanics and aesthetics going for it. It is somewhat set back by excessive grind, however. Some of my favorite games are super grindy, but even despite that Punch Club was a bit too much for me. The stat decay is way too fast, so it gets increasingly difficult to manage everything, especially working and getting food.

When you read this review you might think I don't recommend this game, but I do strongly. A wonderful story and game right up until the end. A disappointing final boss (I lost about a fifth of my health), a very sudden ending, a confusing conclusion, and two fights in a row that made no sense. I would've definitely replayed it if it wasn't for the ending.

Can't even start playing. Stuck in the house trying to read the newspaper. I've tried clicking the exclamation mark and everywhere around it, but nothing happens. Also try to select save and exit on pause screen, but can't do that either. Will update starts when I can actually play the game. On Google Pixel

Its a fun tycoon game with easy to learn gameplay, yet can be very challenging at times. Also has a good story and the expansion only makes it better. Apart from a few issues that makes the game run slow and lag at times, it is enjoyable and I would highly recommend to try it out.

Fun but very frustrating. Never played a game that has made me as angry as this one but still keeping my attention. Can't figure out a good ration for keeping my stats up and get enough money without losing a ton of stats every day. Again. Frustrating.

Game is great, there are certainly pros and cons, but overall one of the better tycoon experiences on mobile. One problem I have is the resolution is off on the Samsung Galaxy A5. It cuts the bottom portion of the screen off, likely due to the phone having a non standard aspect ratio.

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.

I'll redo my review if the devs add the fight speed up option like the pc version. I bought the android version to support the devs. But then noticed that there is no fight speed up. This needs to be added asap as a quality of life improvement!

I love this game but on my 2nd play through I went the bad route. After prison I go talk to the Don but nothing happens, the game just stops. Reloading just puts me back at the last prison fight. Would really like to finish the bad storyline.

Great overall, but it runs terribly on my phone (Moto X play). Sometimes it hangs a couple moments, which would be fine. Night vision map screen runs at less than 1fps, which is not. The phone remains cool, which is unusual while the processor is busy, so maybe it's a bug.

I love the game and could play it for hours but I do have 1 small issue. That's bugging me and its the fact that text is reversed in some places. Makes it very hard to read. I don't know if its my phone but if it isn't is be happy to see it fixed!

The game is the company's first and already shows promise. There are a few significant problems though. The stat decay is prohibitive. Also would like to know if an easy mode will be implemented?

Great game! But during my 2nd run i noticed the game glitches out permanently after beating the prison champion ):

I bought this game because i saw many people playing it and it looked really fun. To be honest with you you will have a lot of fun in the beggining but later on when you make a mistake a lose all your progress, you lost hope and stoped playing. I recommened you to save your money and not get this game. The game is good but king of boring

This game is hard every day I lose my stats once in a while it freezes the energy and food stat goes down so fast and it is not a game I like. But I have to give nice graphics

I would like to give credit where it's due, youtubers The Super Bestfriends showed me this game and I needed to buy this! They deserve this because honestly if it wasn't for them I would had never heard of this. Great game either way! Freaking love it!

Loved the game but I would like a refund. I just get bored of the game because it is the same thing over and over again its fun but boring over a course of time

Fun game but the ending is a major let down. No super fight or real end boss so that sucks. All in all, the game is fun and entertaining. Worth a play through. Buy when on sale.

The game is really great, both on computer and phone. One thing I've been missing on the phone version is the Easy(no stat decay) that the computer version provides(I really do enjoy playing and finishing the game in different difficulties). Other than that, it's an awesome game!

Bug can't play no more after getting out of prison. Cool game but bug needs to be fixed. Would 5 star everything bug the bug keeps me from completing the game

This game was someone's baby. The game is absolutely gorgeous and feels like pure gold. Thank you so much for this experience. Hope to see another game or maybe even a follow to this one sometime very soon.

Everything is great! But the resolution is all messed up on the Samsung Galaxy s5 its way to big hope you can fix it soon :)

I loved this game so much, just make sure your phone can run it. I tried playing on a galaxy 1 mini but it needs a better system than that.

ONLY 4 STARS because my game is stuck as I get out of jail to talk to the Don. I really love this game other than that I just hate that this has glitched my save.

It was a very fun game till day 7 and the suitcase appeared and then the game stopped working. :( other than that i started to really enjoy the game.

Utter trash. The only reason I didn't give it 1* is there is a good game there, but it's built poorly. You get obliterated all the time. Example, my stats 6, 6, 6, strength build. Opponent 2, 3, 7 agility build. I've been outright stomped a dozen times now. There is no balance. The skills are too expensive, and probably half your time will be spent earning money just so you can eat. There have been times I had to u jure my guy because there was no food, and in some fights you get money even if you lose. Not a great game at all. I don't know if it runs better on PC, but I have too little faith to even try. Find something else, or be prepared to spend tears in game to get anything done.

I've played this a lot, but now it keeps crashing for me. It is a very fun and addictive game.

I can't play the game. It has been this way since January. I wrote a review then and I'll write it again. Clearly the devs don't read these. The game is too zoomed in, so I can't even touch the newspaper at the very beginning of the game.

Game is awesome but cant get past a certain point as there's a bug and it crashes, real disappointment. Wish they'd fix stuff like this. I've read this sort of reviews on quite a few games, seems like the designers can't be bother to test the game throughly before releasing (understandable if free but had to pay for this!).

Game play is great. You train your character to according to fighting style you wish to be. However the down side is the after game replay. There is simply non. Hope developer can create part 2 or a expansion

Please work on the framerate. Also why is there no fight speed up option like on PC?

Excellent time killer. You can sync it to your Steam game. Ignore the 'grind' comments (not true). Lots of fun and reply ability.

Freezes after beating big rob in prison. Makes you try to talk to don but nothing continues n you can't do anything. Would refund

Really liked the game on my last phone but bite on my galaxy s5 the screen is permanently zoomed so I can't click on crucial mission objectives

It does not show the hole game on my screen I can't do any thing

I have no food in my belly and none in my fridge Mick won't help me and I have no money to buy food and I can't work to get money because no food. Please help me I can't do anything I can't even sleep because no food

My strength was 4 Roy's was 4 my agility was 3 Roy's was 3 my stamina was 5 Roy's was 3 so tell me how the hell he beats me 3 times in a row for some strange reason seems to drain my energy despite the fact my stamina is higher.

HELP!! Im on day 24 and im trying to enter the fight league in silvers gym but whenever i press the fist icon to sign up it doesnt open! HELP ME!!

Why would you kill the cat i love cats you bastard, and also why do tou have a car in the garage, how are you suppose to beat the stupid robots every time i try died and overall that had been more than 13 times can you at least stop making the game so laggie and Song mo he almost beat me in the game Try to explain that you assholes

It meh, it start fun till you realize you lose alot more training point the higher you go, the way to counteract it is training, training cost you money food and more , in the end you lose more points if you don't know how to do anything
