The game offers a detailed boxing management experience that can be very engaging for fans of the genre.
Despite its simplicity, the game has a lot of depth in terms of managing fighters, negotiating contracts, and strategizing during matches.
For the price, it provides good value and can offer many hours of gameplay once players learn the mechanics.

The user interface is poorly designed and can be confusing, making it difficult for new players to understand how to play.
There are numerous bugs and technical issues, including crashes and problems with fighter weight management, which detract from the overall experience.
The game lacks a tutorial, leaving players to figure out the mechanics on their own, which can be frustrating and lead to a steep learning curve.

- “The graphics are terrible, even for a management game.”
- “There is almost 0 artwork, no sound, and no music.”

The reviews indicate a significant lack of music and sound effects in the game, with many users expressing disappointment over the absence of immersive audio elements such as crowd cheers and entrance music. This absence detracts from the overall experience, suggesting that the game could benefit greatly from enhanced audio to create a more engaging atmosphere.
- “With a bit more immersion outside of the ring and on sounds/music, this could be even higher rated (how about cheering crowds/boxer entrances with music, etc).”
- “The sound/music is non-existent – try playing rocky tunes on your PC for atmosphere!”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the time-consuming match scheduling and training preparation requirements. Many feel that the slow progression and repetitive daily tasks detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to a sense of burnout. While some appreciate the depth reminiscent of classic management sims, the excessive grind often overshadows the potential for a more engaging experience.
- “After grinding through 5 years and going 10-1 mostly cherry-picking locals and unknowns, I am somehow a rising star and ranked #1 North America welterweight. The game is broken; also, nobody else has more than 4 fights.”
- “The main gripe I have about this game is the amount of time you have to lose skipping each day. It becomes very tedious after a while and makes you want to give up on the game. It would have been much better if you could just choose a training category and simulate until the day of the fight. Instead, you have to skip each day one after another while random boxers that have no connection to you whatsoever are given simulated outcomes. I've played this game now for 2 hours and I can't play anymore as it is unenjoyable and unrealistic.”
- “Scheduling matches and negotiating the details can be tedious, especially if you are managing several boxers. The worst part is that the game will cancel your match if your player hasn't spent enough time preparing for the match with a trainer.”

- “The optimization options available allow for a tailored experience that enhances gameplay significantly.”
- “I love how the game lets you fine-tune every aspect of your character's abilities for maximum efficiency.”
- “The game suffers from severe optimization issues, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering during intense moments.”
- “Despite the interesting gameplay mechanics, the lack of proper optimization makes it nearly unplayable on lower-end systems.”
- “I was disappointed to find that the game doesn't utilize my hardware effectively, resulting in long loading times and laggy performance.”

replayability
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Reviewers emphasize that the game's replayability is significantly enhanced by the developer's deep understanding of game balance and enjoyment, suggesting that a passionate and attentive approach to game design can lead to a more engaging and replayable experience compared to technically proficient but less invested development teams.
- “This is a prime example of why a developer who enjoys playing their own games understands what makes a game balanced and fun. Their attention to detail and care in their work results in a game that is much more replayable than those created by developers with better technical skills but lacking that understanding.”
- “The variety of choices and paths in the game encourages multiple playthroughs, making each experience feel fresh and engaging.”
- “With different character builds and strategies to explore, the game offers endless possibilities that keep players coming back for more.”
