- Fixed the save file corruption issue, players will now be able to save the game as intended

Punch Club is a boxing tycoon management game with multiple branching story lines. Your goal is to find out who killed your father, but how you get there depends on your choices. Manage your fighter's stats, choose your fighting style (Way of the Tiger, Turtle, or Bear), and balance work with training. Every decision matters as you juggle friendships, love life, and your climb through the ranks of the Punch Club.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Punch Club is a brilliant blend of 80s nostalgia and deep management simulation. It’s not a fighting game where you control the punches; it’s about the grind—the eating, the working, and the training. Balancing your stats (Strength, Agility, and Stamina) while trying to pay rent and maintain a social life is a stressful but addictive loop.

The branching story is surprisingly engaging, with plenty of movie references that made me smile. The recent 'Easy Mode' update is a godsend for players who found the stat decay in the original game too punishing.

Tips & Walkthrough

Choosing Your Path

Select a 'Way' early: The Way of the Tiger focuses on Agility, the Way of the Bear on Strength, and the Way of the Turtle on Stamina. Spreading points too thin makes later fights impossible.

Gameplays

Daily Grind Management

Players must manage hunger, energy, and mood. Work jobs like construction or pizza delivery to earn money for gym equipment and food, then spend time training to increase core stats.

Q&A

No, Punch Club is a management game. You choose the skills and tactics before the fight, but the combat plays out automatically based on your stats.

App Store Editors’ Notes

Needs just a little bit of work

Wed Nov 27 2024 ‘—————--‘

I was about at the place where you like shoot movies and stuff like that then I went to a different place and the house disappeared. The house where live in the game just disappeared so I went to another house and that disappeared too. I it needs just a little bit of work. Also, you can’t click on the houses either. That disappeared they’re completely gone.

Amazing game NOW

Omg folks, they did it, those beautiful devs did it. WE CAN FINALLY SAVE ON iOS! It didn’t work initially for me, but when I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, it worked! I can finally save! FINALLY!

Bugs with mick and interface

I’m on an iPhone 17 pro max and when I started the gameplay I’m told to visit mick at his dojo. I get there and I can tap where I need to go but I tap on him and there’s no dialogue. It won’t let me tap on him. When I go to the food store I can buy food and everything but then it won’t let me exit out the food tab. It’s honestly frustrating bc this game is so good and it’s riddled with bugs

Was great until it wasn’t

Got to the spot there I fight the robot. Went in twice thinking the first loss was a fluke and lost again. Was then presented with a new place to live with the mob and asked Roy’s sister to move in. Now all of the homes have disappeared from the map, no Don, etc. None of the NPC locations give me anything new to do. Game is broken.

Loved This Game ❤️👍

Best Fighting Game Ever😍👍

Fun but needs work

Once you get past the rookie league it becomes virtually impossible to do anything more. You can’t train your character fast enough to offset what he loses so you don’t progress. So you’re stuck in an endless loop of not winning.
