Well this game will make you not only think, but will tempt you to be in a world of amazing sportsmanship and life. It is a simulation or to be honest it had all the qualities of being a tycoon game.
Becoming a fighter is not only a dream of a small set of people but of many people including me. So why not live this dream inside this game. Yes you are a fighter and you are fighting and working out better and better to kick off the rest of the opponents. This game will make you crazy, addicted and will take you to a different world altogether.
There is a story line and also there is a lot of drama and action. There are various characters, which you will surely get fond of, during the game. This is a game full of passion for fighting and achieving your goals. I have also learnt a lot of lessons in life after playing this game. The best part I loved is that there is no time limits and you are the boss in the game of your life. It is upto you how to shape up your life in the game. This is a game from which legends are born, do you want to be in the punch club? Glory is looking for you.
User Interface
When you start the game you will see the main game menu. This is a very simple UI to have in the main menu. You can see the Punch Club logo, it is written on the lid of a soda bottle, it seems. I recall all my 90s days for sure. Then in the background you see the bridge, skyline and water which is flowing. It does seem that you are looking it from your home`s window. Amazing scene for sure.
You will see three important options. These are Play, Options and Credits. When you click on Options, you will see 4 options. These are Retro Effect ON/OFF, Sound Volume, Music Volume and language. You can play the game in English, Dutch, French, Russian, Spanish and Brazil. So many languages to choose from. I kept it English as it is global and known to people.
When you click on Play you will see three slots. These are where you can save your current game progress. You can see your saved games here. There will be some stats shown which are none other than your character name(which you set), then there will be a clock symbol which indicates the number of days. Then there will be three symbols for your weight, agility and stamina.
The graphics of the game are moderate, though you will never get bored. Also as they are not so heavy many phones this game is easily played on. So you will see a lot of options on the left hand side, and you will see the statistics on the top. These are your health, Food, Happiness and Energy. On righthand side of it you can see the statistics of Weight, Agility and Stamina which your character posses. Then you can see the Skill coins, Money earned and the day clock with number of the day.
There is a pause button on the top right side of the screen. When you click the Pause Menu, you can tweak the Sound Volume, Music Volume, Retro Effect ON/OFF and also you can save and exit the game if needed. Now talking about the options on the left hand side. There you can see 5 menu options. These are character, Leagues, Map, Skill chart and Story Tree.
When you click on character Menu, you will see a huge amount of stats. Also there is a Perks/Traits Page. In the Leagues Mene you can see the next available fights in the game. Then there is a Map where you can see the complete city and various locations in the game. Then you can see the skills Menu. You can purchase the skills using the skill points you earn. Later there is a Story Tree in the game. This will help you to understand what have you unlocked during the gameplay.
Gameplay
When you start the game, there is a story. So read the conversation carefully. It is a very great story and you will be mesmerized with the characters. You are on a mission to find the truth behind your father`s death and the only way is to become a fighter. There is a Punch club where the main character`s father was a member. The story is just fascinating and you will meet many new characters and events as you proceed. This is a game of mental talent.
So the main thing is to make your character workout in the home or in the gym. In later phases you can buy the equipment at your home and workout. In very latter stages you will all get the setup. But initial phases of the game are very important. As you have to keep a good level of Health, Food, Happiness and Energy. To get good health you can get food and also you can sleep to retrieve your health. For food, you have to consume food. You can buy food from grocery. To buy food you should have adequate money.
To earn money in the intial stages you will have to work as a construction worker or a Pizza Delivery boy. Then for having food happiness you will have to win fights or also you get happiness when you buy or consume your favourite pizza. There is also a main fact in the game of using all the resources properly and getting ready for the fight.
Now for the fight using the right skillset is very important. So use the skills which you have bought wisely to win during Fights. Also you have to workout only in one direction. Don`t get your character an average of all the Weight, Agility and Stamina. Just pick up one attribute and work hard towards achieving it. It will help you a lot.
When you keep winning the first small league, there is also a ultimate tournament, win that too. Then there are various options which you can do. You also meet new characters. Keep playing, keep doing workout and keep meeting people and places in the game. This is very important as you may feel clueless at times. So just focus on being better and better and knock the opponents in the fights. You will also find a girlfriend in your game. So you will get your love too.
You will have to make her happy and there are rewards for that as you will consume less energy during workout in the game. This is very important for sure. Playing this simulation/tycoon and also full of action game was a great pleasure indeed. Do read the walkthrough to excel in this game. We have played it for a long time. This game is highly addictive and you will surely love to play more and more.
Punch Club Walkthrough & Tips
Keep working out, keep maintaining all levels, keep winning fights in the game.
In the game only focus on one Attribute for growth. For example only increase the heavy weight attribute and keep the other attributes low. Or you can only make one attribute high. If you try to keep all high, you will not be able to succeed in the game.
During fights use the right skills against the opponent. Use the skills which are complementing your attributes and will hamper the opponent.
Only buy skill sets which are complementing your attributes. Also make sure that you don`t buy the “Ruthless Agression”. This is a very useless skill and when you get it it becomes difficult to block anything.
During game, keep winning fights and keep visiting places and go ahead in the gameplay.
While going in the Gang lair, click on only Harry which is a guy on the table to see the status in the tournament and in gang business.
In the intial phases of the game, when you carry cash more than 200 or around that amount, you may get robbed in street. To avoid it, use bus and also try to fight and kick out the opponent.
