- The game is quite short, with many players finishing it in just a couple of hours, leading to a desire for more content.
- The AI can be predictable and easy to exploit, making the game feel overly simplistic and lacking in challenge after initial playthroughs.
- Some players found the controls and movement mechanics to be unintuitive compared to traditional boxing games, detracting from the overall experience.

The gameplay is reminiscent of classic boxing games, featuring a variety of punches and a first-person perspective, which many players find engaging and rewarding. However, the introduction of a dominant strafing mechanic has led to some criticism, as it allows players to exploit the system and bypass other gameplay elements. Overall, while the mechanics are solid and the character design is praised, the gameplay experience can become repetitive due to the reliance on this mechanic.
“The gameplay is similar to other boxing games, with controls from the boxing perspective and having jabs, hooks, and uppercuts as methods to wear down and knock out your foes.”
“I like the style and the humor, the visceral gameplay that manages to be simple, engaging, challenging, and immensely rewarding while demanding very little time.”
“Gameplay: as many people before me have said, this is definitely an homage to Punch-Out, from the slew of eccentric and quirky characters to the first-person boxing mode.”
“Unfortunately, there is this poorly thought out strafing mechanic that dominates the AI entirely.”
“You can literally beat the entire game doing this—ignoring all of the other mechanics in the game, all stat building, etc.”
“Not played many boxing games, but this one does the mechanics fairly well with its attacks; sadly, the fights in the game become mostly strafing away from your opponent and spamming your attacks at the right time.”

The game's story is generally viewed as fun and imaginative, with a humorous tone and engaging character design, though some players find it lacking in depth and polish.
