Punch Club is a brilliant blend of 80s nostalgia and deep management simulation. Itโs not a fighting game where you control the punches; itโs about the grindโthe eating, the working, and the training. Balancing your stats (Strength, Agility, and Stamina) while trying to pay rent and maintain a social life is a stressful but addictive loop.
The branching story is surprisingly engaging, with plenty of movie references that made me smile. The recent 'Easy Mode' update is a godsend for players who found the stat decay in the original game too punishing.

About Punch Club:
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.

Punch Club is a boxing tycoon management game with multiple branching story lines. Your goal is to find out who killed your father, but how you get there depends on your choices. Manage your fighter's stats, choose your fighting style (Way of the Tiger, Turtle, or Bear), and balance work with training. Every decision matters as you juggle friendships, love life, and your climb through the ranks of the Punch Club.
Select a 'Way' early: The Way of the Tiger focuses on Agility, the Way of the Bear on Strength, and the Way of the Turtle on Stamina. Spreading points too thin makes later fights impossible.

Players must manage hunger, energy, and mood. Work jobs like construction or pizza delivery to earn money for gym equipment and food, then spend time training to increase core stats.
No, Punch Club is a management game. You choose the skills and tactics before the fight, but the combat plays out automatically based on your stats.
