Many users noted issues with clunky controls, simplistic mechanics, and a lack of variety in gameplay modes, leading to a quick sense of boredom.

    • “Finally, the gameplay is smooth & enjoyable with sufficient depth to keep me satisfied & engaged.”
    • “The actual gameplay is actually fun and rewarding.”

    • “The animations are very poor and the gameplay is poorly thought out.”

  • grinding
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many reviews highlight that the slow progression and reliance on grinding detract from the game's potential enjoyment, making it feel more like a chore than a fun challenge. While some acknowledge the game's low price point, the grinding remains a significant drawback for most players.

    • “Sad because it could be fun, but it's too grindy.”
    • “The progression is probably the worst part, as it's super grindy to level up your boxer's stats.”
    • “It's incredibly repetitive and tedious, but necessary in order to improve your boxer's stats.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the variety and quality of the soundtrack, while others criticize it for being repetitive and uninspired, often looping the same tracks.

    • “It has a good soundtrack and a lot of variety of options.”
    • “Exciting commentary and great music.”
    • “This game is really good as a title; graphics are good, background music is epic, and I like the whole entrance themes too.”
    • “The music is the same three tracks looped and recycled.”
    • “Even the music never changes which becomes annoying.”
    • “Poor music that sounds half-dead is also a detriment, as it doesn't put me in anything like the mood to punch a sandbag or defeat my opponent.”
  • story
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting the absence of a meaningful narrative or character development. While some find the basic premise interesting, the majority agree that the game lacks a cohesive storyline, reducing the experience to repetitive fights without any engaging context or rivalries. Overall, players express disappointment in the lack of depth in the career mode and the absence of a compelling story.

    • “Interesting story.”
    • “While I wasn't expecting Fight Night, I figured this had to have somewhat the same mechanics, decent online, and a decent story mode.”
    • “So after being disappointed about the online play, I decided to try the story mode again and play the next stage.”
    • “This game has no story.”
    • “It remains in dire need of a storyline.”

  • optimization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing severe performance issues, including stuttering and audio problems, even on low settings. Others report a smoother experience with no crashes or significant lag, but acknowledge the presence of bugs and subpar character customization. Overall, the game's optimization appears inconsistent, with many feeling it lacks the necessary updates to improve performance.

    • “Absolutely rock solid gameplay, no crashes, no stuttering, nothing is broken.”
    • “Despite adjusting to the lowest settings, the performance is abysmal and the game becomes virtually unplayable.”
    • “Good game just has some bugs because the devs left the game for some reason; could have been an even greater game if the devs didn't stop updating. It's chalk full of bugs, hitboxes are too big for AI, and the game is poorly optimized.”
    • “It seems as if this is just a port of the mobile game that hasn't been optimized for PC.”
  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, "Real Boxing" offers limited replayability, with many players noting that the gameplay becomes repetitive and lacks variety after completing the shallow career mode. While it may provide initial entertainment, the absence of diverse boxing styles and skill-based challenges diminishes its long-term appeal, making it feel more suited for short bursts of play rather than extended engagement.

    • “Infinitely replayable (or almost).”
    • “If it is skill-based, I expect it to be replayable, so I can improve and feel better about myself.”
    • “Real boxing may entertain you for a short period of time but gets boring in the long run since there isn't much gameplay variety and no replayability once you finish the rather shallow career mode.”
    • “The game is okay for the first two hours but it's repetitive and ultimately flawed. Once you get to a certain point, the game becomes a bore; it has no replay value. Worth a few pounds or dollars, but nothing special really. You can tell this came from the mobile market.”
    • “Sliding scale level up means that it only makes sense to level up all skills at the same pace, meaning there is no replay value in trying out different boxing styles, and there is no skill required to beat this game.”
  • humor
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and often pathetic moments, enhanced by decent graphics and ragdoll physics that lead to hilarious knockouts. Players find the obnoxious announcer and unnatural animations to be particularly amusing, contributing to an overall fun experience despite some comparisons to more polished boxing games.

    • “Semi-decent graphics and ragdoll physics make for some hilarious knockouts at times.”
    • “Pros: solid controls, decent graphics/physics, hilarious KOs.”
    • “The announcer is hilariously obnoxious.”
    • “Without a gamepad, boxing games aren't funny, and playing them is frustrating.”
    • “The humor in this game falls flat and feels forced.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as inaccurate hit detection and unexpected match outcomes. Many players experience frequent freezes and overall bugginess, leading to a frustrating gaming experience. Overall, the lack of patches and fixes has left the game feeling unpolished and unstable.

    • “Dodging and countering is the only way to avoid a hit, but given the glitches in the game that either push your boxer too far out of range to hit, or where you clearly do hit, but punch right through the other boxer, mean you might score about 30-40% of counter punches.”
    • “What really ruined it for me though were the glitches - especially jarring was the one where I finished an entire match only to learn at the end that I somehow apparently lost by knockout... and you can't even freely customize your boxer; if you want different colored gloves, you have to buy them.”
    • “Game is a buggy mess that hasn't been patched in years; don't waste your time.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is generally viewed positively due to the absence of microtransactions, which is a refreshing change from typical mobile game practices. However, some users express frustration over the lack of content compared to the mobile version and criticize the game's overall quality, suggesting it feels like a cash grab. Additionally, there are concerns about misleading information regarding controller support.

    • “Both the career mode and the multiplayer mode are well done, and the best part is that it eliminates microtransactions.”
    • “This version seems to be abandoned and is not up to date with the mobile version, so there isn't as much content, but at least the typical mobile game monetization is not present.”
    • “I don't think it works like in-app purchases, but you have to earn this currency by winning fights.”
    • “This version seems to be abandoned and is not up to date with the mobile version, so there isn't as much content. At least the typical mobile game monetization is not present.”
    • “Not sure how long I've been playing this game, but trust me, don't buy this lazy cash grab mobile port.”
