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.

Stunning hand-drawn 2D animation
Dynamic sci-fi boxing environments
Deep rhythmic dodge-and-counter combat
Exclusive for Crunchyroll Game Vault
Every opponent in Thunder Ray has a 'Tell'—a small visual cue before they unleash a heavy attack. For example, the four-armed beast will flex its lower arms two seconds before an unblockable charge. Watch the eyes and the stance, not the health bar, to find your opening for a counter-hook.
Crunchyroll Game Vault members can now dive into Hime's Quest and Thunder Ray along with the latest update.
