Reviews
- The game is enjoyable and easy to pick up, with smooth animations and a better interface on PC compared to other Kairosoft titles.
- It has fun, addicting qualities that keep players engaged, reminiscent of slot machines, and offers a sense of progression if you focus on one boxer.
- Despite its grindy nature, some players find it fun to pass the time and appreciate the boxing management aspect.
- The game is extremely slow and grindy, with many players feeling that progression is frustratingly locked behind winning matches.
- Boxers retire too early, leading to a feeling of starting over and making it difficult to maintain progress.
- The difficulty spikes and lack of meaningful challenges create a sense of boredom and nonsensical gameplay.
