Crunchyroll: Thunder Ray in IOS

Retro Boxing & Fighting Game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

83/100

Thunder Ray is a visually spectacular, high-energy homage to the 'Punch-Out!!' era of arcade boxing, but with a unique sci-fi twist. Developed by the team at Purple Tree and published on Crunchyroll, it features some of the most vibrant, hand-drawn 2D animation I've seen on a mobile device. The character designs are out-of-this-world—literally—as you face off against bizarre aliens with unique, physics-defying move sets that force you to think fast and react even faster.

The gameplay focuses on pattern recognition and timing. As an expert in fighting games, I was impressed by how well the touch controls mimic the rhythmic 'dodge-and-counter' mechanics of the classics. Every punch has a visceral 'weight' to it, and the special moves are accompanied by screen-shaking effects that make every knockout feel like a major event. While the campaign is relatively short, the difficulty of the final intergalactic champions provides a significant challenge that will keep players coming back to master the timing. It is a stylish, punchy, and incredibly polished arcade experience.
