Early Access Review
If someone told me this damn game would suck 33 hours of my life, I would of take one look at the store page and go "nu uh."

Yet, here I am.

This game feeds on the "just one more turn" itch as you meticulously try to max out your fighter stats before each fight, figuring out what needs to be trained on according to your preference - and for the most part, it's really fun and seriously addicting.

It opens up as you learn skills, and begin to know how and when to utilize combos and orders for your character to get out of those tough moments. The gameplay loop is straightforward, but the journey through it can be exciting.

More times than not i've raised my hands and pumped the air as my fighter conquers a new division, especially the Pro League as that took way longer than it should have and despite being quite leveled, it took way more hours than expected to come out on top.

My issue is this:

I HATE THE DAMNED ITEMS IN THE GAME.

Items in this game can be used to heal, boost, or even provide advantages in a fight. In essence, they're completely illegal in real life boxing - but in this game, it's necessary.

It can get really damning when your fighter beats the crap out of an opponent when the fight starts, seeing the opponent get to the end of his health bar, and then see the opponents corner throwing a bunch of heals and boosts that turn the fight around with those boosts.

This is most prominent during Pro League.

Granted, I learned how to utilize those items on my fighter after each damning loss in the Pro League due to the over reliance of the NPC's on items that make every fight a chess battle with making you time when and where to use items - but goodness do i wish that there was an option to turn it off.

Other than that, it's a great game with a weak way to end the game.

Developer, if you're reading this, for the love of God:

Add a cutscene when you win a belt.

It's so damn sad to conquer a league and not have any sort of celebration shown for it.

Buy this game if you love boxing simulations, or sim games in general.
